BoA - Moon & Sunrise (Korean Ver.)

Name: BoA
Song: Moon & Sunrise
Label: SM Entertainment

Released: 2003
Genre: Pop
Style: Ballad, Piano, R&B
Language: Korean
Format: MP3 / 192kbps
Version: Single
Time: 5:11

"Moon & Sunrise" is originally a Japanese song, and one of the only (if not the only) Japanese song that BoA has ever co-written lyrics for. It can be found on her VALENTI album, but it was remade in Korean on her Rock With You single in Korea. It possesses a luxurious arrangement, bordering between ballad and midtempo. Some of the typical cliches of contemporary pop laced with R&b are present, but this is still one of her best non-singles. Her voice for the most part is good, but she does stray into "braying" territory on higher notes. Wikipedia lists this as a Stevie Wonder cover, but it was composed by Ken Matsubara. So, I'm gonna assume that someone's just playing games on wiki again and that information is false (prove me wrong). They should regulate that more.
