}} }} ''Quiet Night'' (sometimes entitled ''Seotaiji 9th Quiet Night'') is the ninth studio album by South Korean singer-songwriter Seo Taiji, and his fifth solo studio album so far. It was released on October 20, 2014, by Seo Taiji Company and distributed by CJ E&M Music. The album was preceded by two singles; the collaborative song "Sogyeokdong" and the lead track "Christmalo.win". It is Seo's first full-length release after a five-year hiatus since ''Seotaiji 8th Atomos'' (2009). ''Billboard'' magazine listed "Sogyeokdong" at number two on its list of "Best K-Pop Songs of 2014",〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/k-town/6397821/best-k-pop-songs-2014 )〕 while the album at number four on "Best K-Pop Albums of 2014".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/k-town/6397820/best-k-pop-albums-2014 )〕 ==Background== On December 24, 2013, Seo posted on his official website, stating that he would be able to start recording his next studio album in early 2014, and the album would come out within the same year. Many rumors about whether the singer will release his new album floated since the beginning of this year until it was finally announced that Seo would make his comeback in October 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://blog.koreaboo.com/post/96157239498/seo-taiji-sends-his-fans-a-message-about-his-new-album )〕 On August 28, 2014, two months before Seo's comeback, seven screen doors in Seoul Subway Line 2 carried the following message, "We still are young. We have a decent future", excerpted from the lyrics of the song "Come Back Home" (''Seotaiji and Boys IV'', 1995). According to Seo Taiji Company, Seo's agency, the artist's intention was to tell his fans who have reached their 30s and 40s that their future is still bright just like when they were younger. In other words, he wants to say that age is not the factor that divides generations.〔 Starting from his comeback concert "Christmalowin" held at Seoul Olympic Stadium on October 18, the artist began promoting his ninth studio album. At a news conference held in celebration of the album's release, Seo stated "The girl drawn on the album's artwork was an imaginative figure of my newborn daughter at the days when she becomes around six to seven years of age." He also stated "I put my emotions before her birth a lot in music. I hope someday mothers who have new lives inside themselves, and their children can listen to this album together." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Quiet Night (Seo Taiji album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
