The song seems to portray the uncanny allure that only the forbidden possesses, and the pure emotions that glitter within that sense of transgression.
Zin’s vocals beckon listeners into a world of exquisite, aesthetic storytelling.
The piece appears on the 1984 album The Hysterical Marquise, and brims with the pure energy that could be called the band’s origin point—energy that went on to profoundly influence later scenes.

Released first as a single in January 2012, it reached No.
1 on the Gaon Chart.
It was also included on the July EP “Midnight Sun,” and its first live performance during the world tour “Beautiful Show” drew considerable attention.

Included on the mini-album “Lights Go On Again,” released in November 2010, it also drew attention for its drama-style music video that ties in with the title track “Beautiful.” It’s a song that gives you a boost—perfect for when your feelings for someone are growing or when you need a pick-me-up.
On rainy daysBEAST (HIGHLIGHT)
A ballad by BEAST that deeply resonates with anyone whose heart is soaked by memories of an unforgettable love whenever they hear the sound of rain.
The protagonist knows they can never meet again, yet still searches the rain-drenched city for traces of the one they lost.

First released in Korea in May 2011 as a pre-release track from the acclaimed album “Fiction and Fact,” its popularity led to a Japanese version in October 2012.

Your path of gloryYoshimi Tendo
Yoshimi Tendo, a songstress who represents Osaka.
Discovered by Takajin Yashiki, she rose to public prominence.
Her vocal ability and expressive power are truly top-class, yet she has an approachable personality that has long endeared her to many enka fans.
Her hit number “Anta no Hanamichi” is a prime example.
Among her works, it’s one of the brightest, so it’s sure to get the crowd going.
This song features the distinctive twisting kobushi (melismatic ornamentation) characteristic of the Kawachi Ondo style, but since most of the ornamentation involves shifts of only two or three notes, you won’t encounter the complex kobushi heard in Tsugaru folk songs.
Instead, it calls for the powerful delivery typical of Kawachi Ondo.
As long as you can keep your pitch in check, it’s by no means a high-difficulty piece, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
I KnowKing&Prince

Scheduled for single release in August 2025, it was selected as an insert song for the drama “DOPE: Narcotics Control Division Special Investigations Unit,” starring group member Kaito Takahashi.
After watching the show, you might enjoy lingering in its afterglow while listening to this track.
