June, one of the relatively new artist in the Japanese Music scene, rocks my world. When I first heard his single "Pride of Tomorrow" as one of the ED single in D.Gray Man anime, I knew I had to find out more about the singer.
JUNE first began to sing for himself during his second year of intermediate school. After being told by his friends that he was bad at singing, he practiced for two years until, finally, during his first year of high school, he was able to move his friends to tears with his singing.
At the age of 17, JUNE recorded a cover of Musiq's "LOVE" for a demo tape. This song reached the ears of famed R&B producer Matsuo "KC" Kiyoshi, who then flew to Korea to meet JUNE. In order to prepare for a debut in Japan, JUNE studied Japanese for a year. He made his major debut under SONY in November of 2006 at the age of 19.
Info from Wikipedia.His latest R&B offering, I.L.X. (though a tad too sexualised) rocks my world. I enjoyed all the 6 tracks in his mini album and hope you like them too. IMO, I think the I.L.X. will fare better without his MV, it looks weird.
I.L.X.
