Jang Pil-Soon (장필순): Suddenly/In My Little Heart (어느새 / 내작은 가슴속에) (1989)

2019/02/15

Heretofore, I bear witness that someone is going to come along and school me on my knowledge of K-Pop (and possibly Jang Pil-Soon herself). Therefore, whatever I’m going to write about Jang Pil-Soon’s 어느새 / 내작은 가슴속에 (which roughly translates to Suddenly/In My Little Heart) might require a huge asterisk beside it. It’s with romance…
Yukako Hayase: 薔薇のしっぽ Roses’ Tails (1989)

Yes, the feeling of romance and culture is still there, but the atmosphere to take it all in must impress all sorts of different stimulations.
