Junsu Xia - "Tarantallegra"

 
Tarantallegra is the first Korean solo studio album by JYJ member Kim Junsu or Xia.
It was released digitally and physically on May 14, 2012.
The album marks Kim's debut as a solo artist under the stage name Xia and become one of the highest selling solo albums on Gaon chart, the top album selling chart in South Korea.
 
On April 16, Xia's current label, C-JeS Entertainment, officially announced the release of "Tarantallegra", Xia's first solo studio album since his debut in 2004.
Through a press release, C-Jes stated that the album is scheduled to drop on May 15 and the music video of the title song will be unveiled a day before the album release.
 
Official teaser images and teaser videos were revealed through YouTube and Facebook, weeks before the release of "Tarantallegra". The first video teaser is titled "Unequaled", representing Xia's unique creativity and identity, penetrating into the overall concept of the album.
Preview of title track "Tarantallegra" is used as the background music in the final teaser video.
 
Despite being unable to hold any stages on music broadcasting shows, Xia is finding success from the release of his solo album.
On May 4, shortly after pre-orders for "Tarantallegra" began on both online and offline stores, the online music market site, Synnara, experienced a server crash due to the sudden, overwhelming response.
Xia's agency, C-JeS Entertainment revealed that the album has reached 100,000 copies in pre-orders.
It also topped Japan's iTunes' pop albums chart without any promotion.
The album is revealed to have had a greater reaction from fans than anticipated, leading to sell-outs.
According to Gaon, 122,000 copies of the album has been sold as of the end of May.
 
I love a lot of the choreography of this video, I was impressed from the first moment I saw it and I hope you like it as well.
