4. Piranha

“‘Piranha’ is smoking hot. To my disappointment, the single didn’t continue the tradition of the previous four that I was very fond of and there was no solo b-side, but remakes of their Korean songs instead.”

3. 한번 더, OK?

“It’s sort of tricky to label The Grace as a second wave Kpop group since their style is more fixated in that in-between zone of the mid-aughts. Lots of R&B influences and no shortage of ballads to show off their admittedly strong vocals, plus the image was all mature and fierce.”

2. Dear…

“When ‘Dear…’ was released, I complained that it was too short. And loved it more than the previous one after hearing it once. It’s not a compilation of party hits like their debut – ‘Dear…’ is not as confident and sexy. Still, it gives me a feeling that the girls have matured as singers. They didn’t need to prove me that they’re talented, I already knew that, but they proved that they can do anything and always sound fantastic.”

1. Graceful 4

“With most Hallyu acts, I tend to prefer their Korean works over their Japanese songs. As mediocre as I think Rain and SEVEN’s native albums are, they’re still preferable over the awful watered-down Japanese albums. Even BoA has stagnated with her j-pop career within the past few years. Tenjo Chiki (a.k.a. Cheong Sang Ji Hee a.k.a. TSZX a.k.a The Grace) is the exception to this — the Japanese versions of their songs tend to be vastly better than the Korean versions (“Boomerang” was improved with better instrumentals and backup vocals, whereas “The Club” was made worse in its transition to Korean thanks to Rain’s embarassing “rapping”), and even their original Japanese songs (such as “Sweet Flower” and “Piranha”) are preferable to their original Korean songs (can you name one? didn’t think so).”
