I haven't listened to the album yet, but as you guys know I'm not too fond of TVXQ's cover of Been So Long. I just hope that the other songs aren't as butchered. If you have listened to the entire Tribute -maison de m-flo- album, kindly post your thoughts about it in the comment section.

TVXQ/Tohoshinki BUTCHERS m-flo's "Been So Long"


TVXQ (lol)


TVXQ (東方神起 or Tohoshinki), a Korean boyband from Japan, remade m-flo's Been So Long, one of my favorite songs from m-flo. And they BUTCHERED IT. Now that's just WRONG! The TVXQ version sounds like some soul-less wussy boy band song. The singing part was meant to be sung a by a girl. I don't know which fag was singing Lisa's part but it just sounds so wrong on so many levels!!! No guy in the right mind will publicly sing Lisa's part of the song!! Man... there should be a punishment for blaspheming Been So Long. Please someone.... kick em in the balls (if they have any) when you get the chance.  This song unfortunately will be on m-flo's 10th anniversary TRIBUTE album.

Looking back at their history the group has divided m-flo's music into two different eras. The first era was the Tripod Era (1999-2002), when Lisa was part of the group. The second era was their Loves Era, (2003-2008) when they have collaborated with many popular Japanese artists.



Today, on their 10th anniversary, m-flo has released this video on YouTube:



Okay so...

  1. Topic 1. They released a what? Whatever it is, it is now available its online. For the first time ever! (Forgive my lack of Japanese comprehension but I think its referring to the m-flo music videos now available on YouTube. Can someone who speaks Japanese please fill me in on this? TIA)
  2. Topic 2. m-flo's Tribute album featuring many Japanese artists will be on sale on 9/16
  3. Topic 3. The fans can vote on what songs should be on m-flo's best album. The voting period is starts today and ends on 8/15.

m-flo - Been So Long


m-flo - Planet Shining


m-flo is a unique band which combines Japanese pop with hip hop and R&B. The original band members were Verbal the rapper, Lisa who provided the vocals and DJ Taku who provided the instrumental beats. Verbal is a Zainichi (which means he is an ethnic Korean that lives in Japan), Lisa is of Japanese and Afro-Colombian descent and DJ Taku is Japanese. In 2002, Lisa has left m-flo to pursue her solo career. After Lisa's departure, m-flo began its m-flo loves.... series which is a collaboration series with popular Japanese and Korean singers. m-flo has released 5 albums up to date: Planet Shining (2000), Expo Expo (2001), Astromantic (2004), Beat Space Nine (2005) and Cosmic Color (2007).

Been So Long is one of the earlier hit songs from m-flo. This song is about the pain that is that comes with broken relationship. Been So Long is from m-flo's debut album Planet Shining.
