a music producer replied to Daniel’s Watercolor live band post #KANGDANIEL
From a music producer's perspective, releasing a Korean version of a Japanese song is not merely a translation, it is practically half-recomposing it.
The number of syllables allocated to a single musical note varies across languages, which requires the melodic rhythm to be restructured and subdivided.
Furthermore, because the Korean language includes final consonants(batchim), the placement of sustained long notes must be adjusted so that vocal projection and resonance are not prematurely closed off.
When an artist holds credits for both lyrics and composition, it signifies that they personally executed all these intricate musical refinements.
As such, the Korean version is an output that has already been meticulously reworked twice, and the live band arrangement serves as the third layer of craft.
Knowing that three layers of dedicated musicianship are embedded into this single video completely transforms the viewing experience.
