Just… I want to see you.EXILE

EXILE / I Just... Want to See You - Short version -

I think it’s a masterpiece: a bittersweet song about longing for a lover you can no longer meet, perfectly matched by the slightly husky vocals.

The quiet mood at the beginning is also wonderful.

When I listen to this song, I remember someone from the past who loved me so passionately and who liked EXILE.

Just… I want to see youEXILE

EXILE / I Just... Want to See You - Short version -

This song was released in 2005 as EXILE’s 19th single.

SHUN, the vocalist, wrote the lyrics for what became his last song during his time with EXILE, and it drew attention as a track that relied solely on vocal performance without any dance.

It’s a ballad that conveys a poignant longing to see someone dear.

At the end of sorrow…EXILE

EXILE / At the End of Sorrow…

Set a calm mood at karaoke with this smooth, soulful ballad.

This track is included on their 10th album, “19 -Road to AMAZING WORLD-,” released in 2015.

“Thanks to you, my precious one, sorrow turned into hope”—its moving message of love is truly stirring.

With moments of mixed voice and majestic choral work, the song may feel like it sits high in range, but the main melody is surprisingly low.

That makes it a good challenge even for men who aren’t confident with high notes.
