First ballad I've really loved in a while, Miryo and Ga-in's parts especially.

really lovely song and I love all the layering of their different parts throughout it

romanized lyrics: http://snsdlyrics.wordpress.com/2011/11/03/brown-eyed-girls-cleansing-cream/ colour coding is most likely not accurate though so comment if you think you can help :B

Gorgeous <3 Ga-In is the empress in the land of Ballad

BEG NEVER fails to impress me
they are, without a doubt, one of the best kpop girl groups ever.
(I was expecting something like SIGN, but loving this as much!)

i love this song so much <3


...... but i thought they would release something that shocks everyone?

[beygos.livejournal.com]

mte. maybe the mv will be scandalous?

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

i hope so

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

i feel like i've heard this before

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

It kinda reminded me of a faster Pray.

[chomper-go-rawr.livejournal.com]

I hear that yet it's much different.

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

One of the songs of Sixth Sense is pretty much a remake of Pray

"불편한 진실", right? Yeah, I kept listening to it and thinking, "this is a gorgeous song and I'd love it more if I hadn't heard it from Sunny Hill already."

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

oh my gosh, how on earth didn't i notice that?

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

imo all 3 songs are good but them being so similar kinda ruins it for me. i believe they were all produced by the same person, hence the similarity in sounds

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

okay, that makes sense. thanks.

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

It sounds like a bit more upbeat 'I'm in love' by Narsha imo.
Still nice though.

[chomper-go-rawr.livejournal.com]

Beautiful <3

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, flawless.

[kissuholic.livejournal.com]

wow, i haven't liked a ballad song in a loooooooooong time~
this is awesome! <3

[royalantares.livejournal.com]

Oh I love it.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

It's nice but I wanted Irreversible level of quality:(

[u47033732.livejournal.com]

MTE. :((((

[xkeirafanx.livejournal.com]

MTE.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Y hello there Minhyuk.

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

omg irreversible is flaw free.

[active3minutes.livejournal.com]

I really, really love this, can't wait for the video. :)

[potaoto.livejournal.com]

i always love BEG ballads, and this is flawless♥

[needsm0retime.livejournal.com]

♥

i was skeptical of the title but it makes a lot more sense once you read the translations

[annhh.livejournal.com]

wonderful to the ears, on replay replay replay~

but they shouldn't say shocking and pump it up so much. sunny hill was shocking

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

im thinking the mv is what will be shocking

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

perfection

[xmikutiax.livejournal.com]

really pretty, I love it ♥

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

It's a pretty song, but idk... it sounds a bit more like a Ga-in solo song with supporting vocals by JeA. Miryo and Narsha's parts seem almost like afterthoughts.

I mean, I understand why it's mainly sung by Ga-in with the other three chiming in (because it's about a younger girl asking her unnies for advice), but I can't help but feel that their comeback song should've been one that showcased them equally.

I sound like such a debbie downer. :\ I do like this song, the production is gorgeous and keeps it from sounding dated... it just didn't move me the way I'd hoped it would. The ideal ballad to me would be something that combines recent production with the emotionality of their past ballads.

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

This comment also makes it sound like I've got a grudge against Ga-in, when in actuality she's one of my favorites (if you can choose a favorite in BEG, mine always fluctuate). :( I just think that "Cleansing Cream" would sound better on a Ga-in solo album, or as a b-side.

[xalexandriam.livejournal.com]

lol you're not a debbie downer. I totally agree. It's a lovely song and I enjoyed it, but I definitely think it would work better as a Ga-In solo.

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, I just felt a little guilty for criticising it, being a BEG stan and all.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

When I first heard it, this was my exact thought actually. I didn't even like JeA's parts, just Miryo's and Narsha's adlibs.

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Someone mentioned the layering (of the main and background vocals) in this song, which I do like. Since Miryo and Narsha's adlibs are part of that, I hope that when they perform "Cleansing Cream" live, it's more or less acoustic or at least without a backing track.

I have a feeling that this song is going to be promoted through standing-and-singing perfs, which they haven't done in a while. :)

[mizukigirl.livejournal.com]

I love it!! :)

[monceri.livejournal.com]

I'm in love!

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

i love this song, but too much ga-in.
and you know there's too much ga-in if i say there's too much ga-in because i love her voice.

[shinigami-wife.livejournal.com]

I really love the way it sounds! XD

[mo-chan-tf.livejournal.com]

delicious song to listen to *______*~

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

Song sounds so so so beautiful *O* I'm having an eargasm right now XD

[nene718.livejournal.com]

[olive-101.livejournal.com]

i like it but i expected them to release something different. xD

[blackpapillon.livejournal.com]

it's kinda eh.

but maybe it will grow on me, it's BEG after all.

[automatic-love.livejournal.com]

Lovely <3
