Q: Although this is the first time interviewing you as XIAH Junsu, looking at your shooting film, the song “Intoxication” in your solo single “XIAH” had a very sexy atmosphere throughout it, including the very mature voice and melody added to it.
A: (Shy) Thank you, have you already listened to it?
Q: I have listened to it, it was so sexy it was really surprising! You composed the song yourself– when did you start coming up with this image?
A: This song was conceived when I was still in Korea making music. I was able to use the name “XIAH” to record this song and try this type of song genre. I’ve always wanted to create a song that includes elements of African-American R＆B, as well as something that I was able to dance to while singing. There have been many J-POP and other genres of songs appearing in the Japanese music scene, so I wondered if I could make this song a great and completely different one compared to others.
Q: This is a very sexy love song– do you have any specific requirements for the lyrics?
A: I hope that the lyrics can bring out a very sensual feeling. At first, there were phrases that were neither Japanese nor English that were added into the song when I test sung it. The “touch me baby” part in the chorus just naturally came out while I was singing, and I felt it seemed more and more interesting as I sang on (laughs). So in order for the feeling of that part to come ‘alive’, I pleaded the lyricist to add “touch me baby” into the the song. Just like that, lyricist Mr. H.U.B wrote out this song for me.
Q: Are the lyrics of the song close to the image you wanted?
A: Yes, I wanted the rhythm and melody to intertwine with the Japanese lyrics to express a unique feeling to it. Like the part “start from our fingers, from head to toe, going to find your secret honey”, the two ending consonants were repeated. I am very satisfied with the results.
