There isn’t enough words to explain how this video makes me feel. When I initially saw on Twitter that he posted something I saw the video on my timeline and saw his mouth making words and I said…AINT NO WAY BRUH. YUTO??? SINGING?!?!?!? AND PLAYING GUITAR?!?!?!?!
The excitement wore off and it truly sank in that it happened. If you don’t know, Yuto hasn’t been very confident in his singing voice even pre-debut. With the little bits here and there of him singing (like REALLY singing not that melodic rapping he does which is nice don’t get me wrong) I knew there was potential. He can harmonize well I mean…have you heard their acappella covers? Yuto absolutely eats up the lower harmonies, but when it’s just himself he tends to get really shy. He’ll do really well starting out then laugh it off. But this? Yes it’s short but I am SO proud. He felt comfortable and confident enough to share this on his IG story. It’s beautiful. The guitar playing is beautiful and his voice sounds lovely.
I get emotional just thinking about the growth Yuto has made during his kpop career. That man’s picture should be next to the word ‘perseverance’ in the dictionary. From coming from Japan to Korea not knowing the language to practicing hours on end to become the industries first Japanese rapper. Now within the past 2-3ish years he’s diligently been practicing guitar on his own, learning piano, learning how to produce, getting his own SoundCloud, learning bass now, and overall becoming more outgoing, funny, and confident. I’m loving Yuto blossom into something I knew he had in him. ❤️
I’m done ranting now. I’ll leave this blog for another couple months 😂
Sometimes when I watch Yuto’s solo vlives I’ll say to myself “wow he’s so handsome there’s no way he’s real” then I think about how I saw them in NYC for Prism, and have photos/videos in my phone, and I did hi touch and realize YES HE IS INDEED REAL.
