Tri-Angle (Chinese) Single - Review and Download

TRI-ANGLE
Released 2005.05.01

I must first say I am exceedingly amused by their Chinese names. Jae's and Su's are so off pronounciation-wise....but unsurprisingly, Changmin's is closest lol
* Jaejoong = Zai Zhong 在中 (literally, "in the middle" lol)
* Yoochun = You Qian 有仟 (literally, "has a thousand" but sounds like "has money" or "rich" :P)
* Changmin = Chang Min lol 昌民 (not sure how to literally translate this...prospering people, perhaps)
* Junsu = Jun Xiu 俊秀 (LOL this is a nice name XD both words are some variation on "handsome")
* Yunho = Yun Hao 允浩 (uh, these words together don't make any sense so...yeah)

Comments:

1. I Believe (我相信)
I really like the original. This one...doesn't mess it up, thankfully.
Their pronunciation is difficult to understand though :-/
Rating: 3/5. youtube, lyrics

2. TRI-ANGLE (三角)
I guess it's too hard for them to sing somewhat quickly in Chinese, they totally slowed it down, so it really isn't good :( IDK if BoA is the one who sings her part, but it sounds like frickin Cantonese lol. The pronunciation is...interesting.
The lyrics are really silly, also.

3. My Little Princess (我的小公主)
Though their pronunciation is, again, rather poor...since it's a ballad and slow, they didn't exactly mess too much up.
Rating: 3/5. watch, lyrics

4. The Way U Are (你是如何)
Ahhh yes this one. I had this in my music collection, labeled poorly except for the words Chinese, decided it was absolutely not Chinese, and asked Laura to verify that it was Japanese. She told me it was neither Japanese nor Korean, but rather she thought it was Chinese? Or a mystery language?
Finally after careful listening I realized it WAS Chinese.
So yeah, the pronunciation is poor.

5. Hug (抱抱)
Same comments are most of above - slow enough not to be effed up, but pronunciation could use some work.

More vids of them trying to speak Chinese
This one has literally 10 seconds of Chinese in the middle, but it's effing adorable when Min corrects Yunho about how to pronounce DBSK in Chinese XD
And Jaesu singing Hug...wow, is Su's Chinese bad lol.
