    SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] links up with TOMORROW x TOGETHER for SOLO LEVELING opening song “LEveL”

    SACRA MUSIC has released a new single from esteemed composer HIROYUKI SAWANO’s vocal project SawanoHiroyuki[nZk] featuring global K-pop superstars TOMORROW X TOGETHER entitled “LEveL.”

    Featured as the opening theme to the newly debuted TV animation SOLO LEVELING, the track includes a distinctive rhythm and addictive sound composed by Sawano and complemented by guest vocals from TOMORROW x TOGETHER, who perfectly match the series’ powerful, high-speed storyline.

    Known for his musical contributions to numerous anime series, TV dramas, and films including Attack on Titan, Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash, and Promare, Sawano was tasked with both Solo Leveling’s opening theme as well as the series’ original score music. The hugely anticipated series made its worldwide debut last weekend and is based on the Korean novel and comic of the same name (Original Work: DUBU (REDICE STUDIO), Chugong, h-goon [D&C Webtoon Biz.]), which has become an international hit.

    HIROYUKI SAWANO says of the song, “I feel very honored to produce the music for Solo Leveling and the main theme as SawanoHiroyuki[nZk]. I am thankful for this opportunity to work with TOMORROW X TOGETHER. Their diverse vocal styles enhanced the track’s groove and the edge of the sound, and I was able to work feeling their talents on hand. It is a work that I look forward to seeing as a TV viewer myself, so I really hope people will enjoy the anime along with my music.”

    TOMORROW X TOGETHER adds, “LEveL expresses the main character’s strength with its dark and heavy feeling. Its distinctive and addictive rhythm really sticks to your head once you hear it, so please enjoy our song over and over along with the anime.”

  • Return to the Scene of the Crime with ‘BERLIN’

    Return to the Scene of the Crime with ‘BERLIN’

    Money Heist spin-off Berlin has consistently claimed its spot in Netflix’s top series category since its launch on December 29, 2023 and for good reason: it stars none other than fan-favorite Berlin (Pedro Alonso) and introduces his “old” thrilling crew consisting of code virtuoso Keila (Michelle Jenner), engineering and physics academic Damián (Tristan Ulloa), locksmith Roi (Julio Peña Fernández), gadget and weapon expert Bruce (Joel Sánchez), and enigma Cameron (Begoña Vargas).

    While set years before the daring heist at The Royal Mint of Spain, Berlin has orchestrated a captivating reunion of sorts for fans by bringing back some iconic characters from the original series including Raquel Murillo (Itziar Ituńo) and Alicia Sierra (Najwa Nimri).

    Showrunners Álex Pina and Esther Martinez unveil a fresh perspective regarding this prequel and share that while Berlin’s a “lighter” take on the beloved series, its emphasis on “love” is what makes it unique from the original material: “We always look for elements that really connect with the viewer, and love is one of those elements. And there are so many facets to love. In fact, the story shows a range of types of love in which the characters vie to show different moments of love, to show different situations.”

    Echoing the showrunners’ sentiments, Berlin titular character actor Pedro Alonso has this to say about the project and his character in this prequel: “I’ve often heard that Berlin is a cynic. Not at all. He’s sarcastic, he has a diabolically dark sense of humor, and he can be fascinating, a real prick, whatever you want, but not a cynic. He’s a man who’s committed to rediscovering a great life, falling in love in the face of common sense and logic. A man who’s made to love, in spite of everything.”

    In addition to the fresh and gripping narrative, Berlin captivates audiences with its breathtaking scenic spots, with the series being shot in 146 locations within numerous provinces of Spain like Madrid, Almeria, and León and in the romantic city of Paris. The show dazzled with scenes filmed in iconic Parisian landmarks such as the Church of Saint Julien Le Pauvre, Château d’ Ormesson-sur-Marne, Sacré Coeur, and other streets of Montmartre.

    Aside from these beautiful locations, the show charms with its curated music, including tracks originally recorded for the series like its opening theme “Bullets and Flowers” by Francis White and Nikki García, “No me mires” by POL 3,14., and “Tout Ou Rien” by Pipo Romero.

  • Super Junior’s Yesung Kickstarts the K-Concert Scene in 2024 with “Unfading Sense” in Manila

    Super Junior’s Yesung Kickstarts the K-Concert Scene in 2024 with “Unfading Sense” in Manila

    The K-concert scene in the Philippines got the best start with a captivating show from one of K-Pop’s best vocalists, Yesung, leading the year’s live events.

    Super Junior’s Yesung started the 2024 K-concert scene here in the Philippines as he performed for one special night at the New Frontier Theater for the YESUNG SOLO CONCERT ‘UNFADING SENSE’ IN MANILA last January 6, 2024.

    Yesung

    The night began with ELFs passionately singing along to “Song for You” by Super Junior, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening with Yesung.

    Opening the show with the enchanting “Scented Things,” Yesung captivated the audience, creating a beautiful start to a memorable night. The melancholic melodies of “Forenever” and “Silhouette” filled the venue, showcasing his versatile vocal prowess.

    In his first ment, the Super Junior expressed happiness, greeting PH ELFs warmly. He followed with the soulful “No More Love” and the heart-fluttering performance of “Butterfly.” “Moment” marked a truly cherishable part of the night.

    Transitioning to a lighter mood with “Floral Sense,” Yesung, now wearing specs, continued brightening the atmosphere with “Beautiful.” The second ment was filled with heartfelt moments, leading to the slowed-down rendition of “4 Seasons” and the lively crowd engagement during his “HO” performance, which was his song featuring NCT’s Mark Lee.

    Yesung took a sentimental turn with “Like Us” and the nostalgic “It Has to Be You” from the Korean drama, Cinderella’s Sister. The emotional journey continued with “Bear Hug” and the intense electric guitar sounds of “Lost Heart (Corazon Perdido)”.

    Yesung

    In the third ment, Yesung playfully interacted with his fans, expressing admiration for the energetic crowd, also playfully mentioning to keep their eyes on him and not on their phones all the time. He also hinted at the possibility of returning this year in Manila.

    A fan-made VCR featuring Yesung’s photocards and mini doll and Super Junior’s lightstick at iconic Philippine locations added a personal touch to the concert experience. He then revisited “Like Us” and serenaded the crowd with “Together,” accompanied by visuals of his beloved dogs, Kkoming and Melo. He concluded the night with his last song “I Am”.

    As Yesung bid farewell, the concert successfully inaugurated the 2024 K-Pop events in the country, leaving ELFs with anticipation for more. His playful hint about a potential return added an extra layer of excitement, promising more memorable concerts this year.

    The YESUNG SOLO CONCERT ‘UNFADING SENSE’ IN MANILA was presented by PULP Live World and Happee Hour. Special thanks to PULP Live World and Happee Hour for the invitation.
