[Fan’s work] “Love Letter” arranged by Illona Bolou
You may have listened to her playing guitar before, but I’ll introduce here that she’s a French and talented eel who’s playing a classical guitar in her own arrangement. This is her latest work, “Love Letter”. I like her works, but I think especially this soft ballad really suits her classical guitar. If you’re interested in her works, please check them on her You Tube channel ^^

It is not just a commercial advertisement. Things that JKS himself created also received attention. Not only official website, his self created brands ‘Zikzin’ and ‘Zikzin Festival’ are also made known.
Through this, it’s an opportunity for JKS to surpass Asia into the world, enabling his ‘JKS effect’ to be maximised. We look forward to JKS’ future to be more far-reaching & more active performances.

Lyrics: Seo Hyun ll / Yang Ji Sook / Genie Clash
English translation: tenshi_akuma
I can’t turn my eyes away from you
After feeling my love sign,
You started to go into action
You’re a fake radar Nonstop
Don’t you know sympathy?
No?
I was thinking that your soft wings would wrap me around?
I was wrong?
I’m puzzled that you looked away
They call me poker face
Just a moment In my arms
I can keep up this pace
I’ve already seen the serge
They call me poker face
Just a moment With temperature of my fingertip
You can’t keep up your pace
Slowly slowly As if I melted ice
