    Some parts of the song are really cool in Japanese, but some parts sound a bit weird xD I still prefer the original/Korean version :D

    I’m glad they kept ‘wae’ since the japanese word for it ‘doushite’ won’t go so well with the melody , i thought they’ll replace it with ‘why’ but i’m glad they kept wae, it became so famous from the macros changmin screaming ‘waaaeee’ while B2ST’s yoseob screaming ‘I DNAAAAAAAA’ haha<3

    love the japanese version, maybe the words aren't as strong as the korean one, but i still like it, tohoshinki ftw<3

    I prefer the original version. It’s not bad, but I’m more use to the Korean version xD

    i don’t know… i’m finding the japanese very hard to understand. does anyone else think their accents aren’t as good as they used to be? maybe it’s just because some parts of the song are very fast and they need to rap in a foreign language, which is never easy (or so i imagine).

    I have to say I really like both versions. I was a bit surprised they kept the “wae”….but I guess had to do with the feel of the song of the song.

    I like the Korean version because it is the original, and I guess it flows a little bit better. I’ve always thought when THSK made their Korean raps Japanese it was a LOT of words. ^^ And I will continue to stand by that.

    I like the Japanese version because they’re singing in Japanese again. It’s almost enough to make me cry. Hearing and understanding the lyrics, I thought it was really cool and I liked the whole feel of it.

    Love them. Always will.

    i liked the oringal verson better but both are good… there is something bout the korean verson that has a stronger punch imo than the japanese
