When most of your favorite Japanese songs are sung by a Korean singer named Taemin.

*Waiting for this to become an anime opening*

Person: who is your favourite Japanese singer? Me: Lee Taemin Person: isn't he Korean? Me: I said Lee Taemin Person: but- Me: I said what I said Edit: omg so many likes. This is the first time so many people agreed with me :D

いまだに時々このテミンの美しさを摂取したくなるんだよな…。ということで、2024年も相変わらず摂取しに来ております。

Dear SMTOWN Taemin is a great idol whom everyone loves dearly. He has enough songs for a world tour so why only target the Korean/Japan market when he has fans in the UK, America, Africa, Australia and Southern Asia. We are looking forward to future updates about a world tour, I’m sure even Taemin wants to see his fans around the world so please make it happen. Thank you

BEST JAPANESE RELEASE FROM A KPOP ARTIST HANDS DOWN

I wish there was an anime based on Taemin's J-pop songs. I would watch it.

coming back here in 2023 to confirm it's still one of The best japanese releases from k-pop artists. Taemin is exceptional

Anyone still listening in 2020? 🙋🏻‍♀️ Edited: and 2021 too! 👀🙌🏻

I love this. SM combining sex, anime and kpop.

If you’re here in 2021 let me just tell you you have great taste in music

9 years later and this is still breathtaking to me.

Taemin, you got yourself a new fan last night on MAMA, my grandma, she watched the show and fell in love with your grace~ She told me you have this beautiful and mystic aura around you that shines and that you are so talented, just by looking at one stage, by the way, she really likes your black hair better than blonde. 31.03.2017 update : Thank you all so much for the kind words for my granny, i told her everything you guys said and she is so thankful that Taemin has these kind and respectful fans!

I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE but doesn’t taemin give y’all a unreal feeling? Like he is ethereal/unreal there isn’t a word to describe it😔 he is literally out of this world he seems like a fake person but not in a bad way, he’s just unreal and his style is unique Idek I love taemin

Raise your hand if you weren't prepared for this! 🙋🙋

テミン美しすぎてかっこよすぎて同じ人間だとは思えない

Taemin's voice sounds so good in japanese. (in every language he speaks but specifically japanese)

Anyone still listening in 2019 🙋‍♀️?

imagine not stanning this man ugh can't relate

あーーーこの歌好きすぎる

wtf he's so perfect he's litteraly a living anime character

This is the best music video anyone from SM has ever had

he looks like a badass demon anime character !!!

Essa música é muito bonita e melancólica

This song is too good for this world . And I'm not even a fan of taemin or shinee

2016 : It's a Masterpiece 2022: It's a Masterpiece

Seeing that they are going to perform taemin’s song, and this one at that, on &audition was all I needed in my life

Nothing can ever top this song

came here after that amazing performance at mama 2016, it was the best in my eyes I am so proud

Unpopular opinion : Taemin is an anime character

Y'all this is some final fantasty next level SHIT

정말 사요나라 히토리에는 없는 감동이 있다 아직도 그당시 우연히 힛더스테이지에서 봤던 최초공개 본방 모습을 잊을 수 없다 그 무댈 자신있게 끝마치고 보란듯이 1위룰,, 했었다지? 그때 뿌듯하게 헤헤치쥬된 탬니모습 정말 전설이였는데 이런 곡으로 컴백 한번 더 해줌 소원이 없겠다ㅜㅠㅜ

This song is too lit! Taemin and Shinee deserve more love

Taemin has this thing about the way he performs. He's honestly my fave performer. Something about him is so mesmerizing and I swear it's like I get lost while watching his dancing. He certainly has something special. He nearly blew me away at the MAMA awards

First time seeing this...... this is definitely one of the best K-Pop Mvs I've ever seen! Lee Taemin Oh damn! Oh. My. Flying. Jalapeños.

언제봐도 아름다워

Nobody gonna talk about how he turns from Sailor Moon to Sailor Mars from 1:37 to 1:43

this should be in an anime intro!!!!

this man is art

こないだオニュが言ってたけどテミンが兵役中も練習室借りて練習してるんだって 1人でSHINeeを支えた2年寄りどころがアーティスト活動だったんだろうな だからあんなに兵役行く前スケジュール詰め詰めで痩せ細って泣いてボロボロになって見てられなかった

THIS REALLY REMINDED ME OF STAR WARS EPISODE THREE????

I hope no one get mad at me cuz I came to listen to this song after Taki's team performance but believe me I love this song. Taemin's voice is awesome.

Taemin is the only Kpop idol besides SHINee that make my heart jump. He is just incredible good. His music, his dancing, his aura. He is the reason I have such high standards for men and I am not even sorry. Is so cute how other idols admire him so much and want to cover his music. Taemin is the idol of idols.

Army here to say that this MV is a masterpiece, so beautiful and Taemin is an amazing artist. Congrats to all Shawols.

WOW! this song slaps! THANK YOU MOMO and JIHYO for introducing this song to us! now i really need to pay attention to Taemin's songs.

Can y'all believe that he danced for 16 hours? Holy shit! He's amazing!

이 노래만의 처연함이 너무 좋아

Why does this masterpiece only have 11M views??? IT'S INACEPTABLE.

This video is so beautiful... Honestly this is probably one of SM's best investments last year. Taemin is the SM artist with the biggest solo potential in Japan, his visuals, vocals and dancing is perfect for Japan. I reckon in the next few years his career is gonna explode over there

O-okay wow... I've been violently bias-wrecked.

This is just a masterpiece Waiting for the day taemin makes a new song like that again

TAEMIN DIDN'T SAVE KPOP AND HE DIDN'T SAVE JPOP.. HE SAVED THE FUCKING WORLD

Im not his fan. But seriously??? 😱 6,3M views only?!?! His voice, the choregraphy, his feelings, the graphics 😍...all deserve more fame..

태민이가 해놓은 작업들은 시간이 지나가도 변함없이 좋아, 근본곡이 많은 아티스트

This song has stolen my heart , I will marry this song .

Zutto koushite kimi wo tsutsunde Yorisoi aruketa nara Ima no boku ni wa kimi no ima ni wa Sorezore no ashita ga aru Se wo mukete kara chiisaku ookiku kono te wo furu Tada massugu no mae dake wo mitsume aruite yuku Sayonara kirari shitataru hana ga Sabishi sou ni hohoen deru Sayonara hitori kanashimanai de Kono sekai ni sakihokoru hana yo Kitto toku de kimi wa matteru Mukae ni kite kureruto Asu no bokura ga doko ni iyou to Tsurezure ni toki wa yuku Itsuka kuru wakare ni obirenagara soba ni iru yori Dakiau yume wo miru ima no hou ga shiawase na no ka Sayonara hirari chiri yuku hana ga Oshimu you ni hohoen deru Dareka ga hitori kanashimi no nara Boku wa kimi ni funerai mama de Sayonara hitori de dakiau you ni Kono sekai ni sakimidarete Sayonara hitori kanashimanai de Kono sekai ni sakihokoru hana yo Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

he is so talented! I hope he's ok. Stay strong, dear Taemin. Rest in peace, dear Jonghyun. I love you both

his best song like it's actually crazy

Taemin's dance moves are so clean. And he is expressive with his dance conveying a message. The MVs are aesthetic. SM please put subtitles on Taemin's and SHINee's videos, if not for us, then for the sake of algorithm, search results, and organic recommendations.

deserves a billion views, I think..

Sayonara Jonghyun . Love you forever ❤

Congratulations to the creator and performer, it is like a work of art

Ok guys... Need a taemout here... SM please

Coming here since I can't get enough of Taki's team performance. This song is beautiful !!

PURE ART

Anyone here in 2021 after Taemin's enlistment and missing him ??

Came to check what song Taki's team would be performing for the judges and WOW

his mum must be soo proud!!! i know i would!

still listening in 2024 and stil a BOP

Words can't describe how beautiful this is

Taemin slay all jpop idols ass like a QUEEEEEN, YEAHHHHHHH MA QUEEN

Taemin’s song omg I’m looking forwardto Taki teams dance !!

テミンが自分にしか表現できない曲としてさよならひとりをワルツで選曲してくれてありがとう😭😭

HE REALLY IS AN ANIME CHARACTER OMG SO BEAUTIFUL

Are you guys sure that Lee Taemin is human?! His voice, his features, his dancing talent- HE'S TOO PERFECT TO BE ONE OF US!

who's here because of taemin?

Still a fcking masterpiece in 2024. Dont ever forget this song.

the fact that he's barely 23 but already has 2 solo albums, a showcase in Taiwan (so unexpected) and now a Japanese debut, gives me so much feels. TAEMIN IS ON A ROLL THIS YEAR! GET THAT MONEY BBY

When SM doesn't bring any teasers out and you are having trouble with planning your funeral 😩

It's 2025 and this still has a place in my heart ♡

Gahd this dude seriously... I have no words actually... when the MV finished I just stared at my screen, speechless.

Taemin really is SM's golden boy omg

胸が痛くなるほどパフォーマンス力がある

이 뮤비 최소 10억은 되야되

This MV deserve more views.

Taemin's dancing is so powerful that it gives life and takes it away at the same time... those blue flowers never stood a chance

There are really great covers that sometimes even surpasses the originals. But not Taemin's. No one can capture his aura and sheer presence when he performs his songs live. And the way he moves with such elegance and grace... covers tend to end up as pale imitations.

here after tour dates announcement. need to see this live 🙏🙏

kai would be so proud of his dancing -husband- machine ;)))

Didn't know this song before. it's so good Came here after seeing Momo and Jihyo's special stage

Zutto kōshite Kimi o tsutsunde Yorisoi aruketanara Ima no boku ni wa Kimi no ima ni wa Sorezore no ashitagāru Se o mukete kara chīsaku ōkiku Kono tewofuru Tada massugu ni mae dake o mitsume Aruite yuku Sayonara kirari Shitataru hana ga Sabishi-sō ni Hohoen deru Sayonara hitori Kanashimanaide Kono sekai ni Sakihokoru hana yo Kitto toku de kimi wa matteru Mukae ni kite kureruto Asu no bokura ga doko ni iyou to Tsuredzure ni toki wa yuku Itsuka kuru wakare ni Obienagara Soba ni iru yori Dakiau yume wo miru Ima no hou ga shiawase na no ka Sayonara hirari Chiri yuku hana ga Oshimu yō ni Hohoen deru Dare ka ga hitori Kanashimu nonara Boku wa kimi ni Furenai mama de Sayonara hitori Daki au yō ni Kono sekai ni Sakimidarete Sayonara hitori Kanashimanaide Kono sekai ni Sakihokoru hana yo Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Omg I started humming this song randomly and my memories of this song started flooding in 😭 2023 anyone??

Taemin's solos need more popularity guys! This. Is. Pure. Art.

Why do I feel like SM doesn't really give us heads up anymore before a comeback? It's like, BAM, I'm gonna ruin your life today.

I prefer this version so much over the Korean one. It's way more peaceful and fitting. Am I the only one?

彼がいなくてとても寂しい

WHY DID I JUST KNOW ABT THIS WTF THIS SO SO BEAUTIFUL

Literally the best 4 minutes of my life

I know you're gonna want these 😜 Zutto koushite kimi wo tsutsunde Yorisoi aruketa nara Ima no boku ni wa kimi no ima ni wa Sorezore no ashita ga aru Se wo mukete kara chiisaku ookiku kono te wo furu Tada massugu no mae dake wo mitsume aruite yuku Sayonara kirari shitataru hana ga Sabishi sou ni hohoen deru Sayonara hitori kanashimanai de Kono sekai ni sakihokoru hana yo Kitto toku de kimi wa matteru Mukae ni kite kureruto Asu no bokura ga doko ni iyou to Tsuredzure ni toki wa yuku Itsuka kuru wakare ni obirenagara soba ni iru yori Dakiau yume wo miru ima no hou ga shiawase na no ka Sayonara hirari chiri yuku hana ga Oshimu you ni hohoen deru Dareka ga hitori kanashimi no nara Boku wa kimi ni funerai mama de Sayonara hitori de dakiau you ni Kono sekai ni sakimidarete Sayonara hitori kanashimanai de Kono sekai ni sakihokoru hana yo Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
