Jaejoong performed "Melody", a Japanese classic, accompanied by its original legendary singer Tamaki Koji on NHK BS Premium's『Tamaki Koji Show』this May 3rd (the performance segment was recorded in late March).

Tamaki Koji commented about their special duet on April, 2nd: "I've never thought of singing「Melody」in collaboration with anybody else. It's the only song that I will sing freely following my moods. However, this time, when I heard Jaejoong singing it, I told him I will support and sing it following his own way, that's how I felt. We had an enjoyable moment singing the song together."

Jaejoong was humbled and

: "My brother was saying:  “Jaejoong‘s Melody is good.” from before.

-I rarely watch TV but I happened to see Tamaki Koji sing. He’s a great singer of course but a singer who was singing next to him, JeJung? was also so great. He seems to be Korean but to my surprise he was singing a Japanese song so beautifully.

-What I think of JaeJoong-san is, besides he’s sooo good at singing, he really loves singing. This is what always comes to my mind. And he’s too good looking.

-I don’t know much about JaeJoong-san but I was impressed that he sang a song so beautifully in Japanese in the country which is not his home. Melody was good.

-Watching Tamaki Koji show, I was stunned to find a singer named Jaejoong-san was singing so well. Never imagined a singer who can sing a Tamaki’s song like that. Not bad at all.

-I rewatched the part of Melody by Tamaki & JaeJoong ^_^  & it was so good!! It’s really awesome for J-JUN to sing with Tamaki Koji~. I’m sorry to say but I only know his name & face because of HYDE. I became a little interested in what kind of music he’s into.

-'Melody' has been covered many times, but most singers don’t manage to leave Tamaki’s image. However when I listened to JaeJoong-san in ‘the Covers’ I thought he has made it his own.
I remember this (when watching Tamaki Koji show).

-Again I knew about JaeJoong-san (his appearance on TV)
by the trend chart. I hurried to watch the program only to find it’s over T.T
His voice reaches people hearts all the more in a time of difficulty.-JaeJoong-san’s singing was 500M times as great as I had imagined. I want him to sing all different songs.

-JaeJoong‘s song was awesome as always. I was even more touched that Tamaki Koji-san was matching J-JUN's Key. ⭐︎ Thank you for the wonderful duet!!

-Finally I watched Tamaki Koji show that I had recorded. As for JaeJoong-san, I’ve heard of his name but I’m surprised to listen to his song for the first time properly. There’s a soul in his song 👍 Being a middle aged male Tamaki’s fan it’s quite rare for me to say that “This young singer is great!” It’s a new discovery 👀 I think I’ll check his other songs on YouTube.
