TOHOSHINKI undertake a cute theme song.
When it was announced that Sanrio's Cinnamoroll was getting it's own movie at the end of 2007, it was clear that a cute sounding theme song would be needed. And so Tohoshinki (DBSK) undertook the task of doing it and released a single called Together on the 19th December 2007.
The CD version included Together, Together -Kids Chorus vers.-, Forever Love -Bell'n'Snow Edit- and the instrumental version of Together, while the DVD version just came with the title song and the corresponding instrumental plus the DVD with the music video for Together and the 'off shot movie'.
It sounds as if the CD is stuck, when Together starts, but soon the bouncy, catchy melody begins Jaejoong initiates the vocals by singing "my friend" with his soft, friendly voice. The Japanese lyrics allow you to recall your childhood memories and are easy to sing along to as the syllables fit the rythmn of the song perfectly and give the song a characteristic childish touch.
Maybe it's not DBSK's strongest song, nor is it really spectacular, but it's perfect for the movie and they prove that they can pull off the cute image as well.
The second track is also Together but this time it's the "Kids Chorus Version". As the title already implies, the chorus is sung by children and this emphazises the whole feeling of the song more.
Forever Love -Bell'n'Snow Edit- is perfect for the season, in which the single was released. Immediately you feel as if you're walking through a Christmas market with children, happy families and people walking around. Junsu's voice is underlined by an organ, an instrument you don't hear often in modern music, and strings and as soon as Yunho's part begins you hear the typical Christmas bells in the background. As the chorus begins the song reaches a peak with even more bells, chimes and an organ filling the background. Throughout the whole track, it consistently builds up until it reaches a calm instrumental part that transmits the Christmas feeling before Junsu sings the chorus again with his smooth voice. Forever Love -Bell'n'Snow Edit fades after Jaejoong joins Junsu in an enchanting harmonisation, accompanied by sweet chimes. Again you hear people talking and a church bell before it ends.
The last track is the instrumental version of Together and with this the single ends.
A single that can be described as corny but it wasn't meant to be spectacular. DBSK perform their task excellently and conjures a smile on your face while listening to both songs because of the happiness in Together or the comfortable Christmas feeling of Forever Love -Bell'n'Snow Edit- transmits.
