Hmmm, most of Jpop boybands are still way too cheaply derivative. I suppose at least one standard Johnny's song should be heard to characterize their sound: a less obviously frat-boy douchey One Direction. (It's all about the synth strings with Arashi.)

I was wavering between "Dawn," "Who Loves You," and "Bye Bye Baby." Of course "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is my favorite, but that's technically a solo single.

The one responsible for Shinee's "boyband harmony"-type songs (Sherlock, Juliette, Love Like Oxygen) seems to be mostly Remee, plus or minus different co-writers and arrangers. Since their other signature sound is relentless beats (Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer) I liked how "Sherlock" appeared to be trying to combine the two styles, going for an ultimate epitome of Shinee.

Wow, I didn't realize that the Teddy Robin song was a cover! Their "Gloria" cover is pretty fun, too.
