WHY WISE IS SO DAMN COOL???: The Answer to this question is very easy. But before, we have to take in account a couple of things: 1) WISE had a dream: become a musician, not a star. Well, in fact that’s what i can understand from listening his lyrics. In most of his songs he thanks to the life to had made his dream come true and he does it in a very “non arrogant” way. To had a dream that came true hadn’t changed WISE’s mind, you just can feel it 2) WISE enjoys a lot making music, that’s obvious, but he is not very fond to the life of a “Rock/Pop Star”. Hip Hop musicians have very different life styles. They “party” in different way. You’ll never see WISE wearing crazy “Bling Blings” just to make you thing that he’s amazing, NO. You can say: “But i have seen WISe wearing Bling Blings among with the TERIYAKI BOYZ”... Yeah, this is true, but is because the other guys wear them, they’re a group so the have to make their own brand different from the other japanese Hip Hop Artists.
But the main thing here is: WISE IS A MUSICIAN, NOT A STAR...OR, NOT “JUST A STAR”. He enjoys the fame and all, but he loves making music. Few musicians in J-pop got this feeling, (BONNIE PINK, and Suga Shikao are perfect examples) the fact that he became very popular because oif his music is an accesory thing, he just wanted to be a Musician and he Did it, Everything else is just gain.
Thank you WISE for showing us a brand new kind of artists. (And you readers, please forgive my english too)
“¿POR QUÉ WISE ES TAN FREGADAMENTE COOL?” La respuesta es muy fácil. Pero antes, debemos tener en cuenta un par de cosas: 1) WISE tuvo un sueño: Convertirse en músico, no en estrella. Ok, de hecho, eso es lo que puedo interpretar al escuchar sus letras. En la mayoría de sus canciones agradece a la vida por haber hecho realidad su sueño y lo hace de una manera humilde y sencilla. El que se haya hecho realidad su sueño no ha cambiado su manera de pensar y eso puede apreciarse. 2) WISE disfruta mucho el hacer música. Eso es obvio, pero no es de esos artistas que llevan una vida de “Estrella Pop/Rock”. Los músicos de Hip-Hop tienen unos estilos de vida muy diferentes (Algunos demasiado ostentosos) y el hecho de que WISE no se “vuelva loco” aparentando o luciendo enormes “Bling-Blings” dice cosas muy positivas de el. Muchos podrán pensar: “Pero si yo lo he visto junto a los TERIYAKI BOYZ luciendo sus Bling Blings” Lo cual es cierto, pero los luce porque el grupo así lo exige y no porque el de verdad necesite llevarlos, los TERIYAKI BOYZ lucen esas joyas solo por hacer una “marca personal”, para individualizarse de los miles de artistas Hip-Hop de Japón.
Pero lo verdaderamente importante aquí es que: WISE ES UN MÚSICO, NO UNA ESTRELLA… O “NO SOLO UNA ESTRELLA”. El disfruta de la fama y todo, pero AMA hacer música. Pocos artistas japoneses transmiten esta sensación (Suga Shikao y BONNIE PINK son unos de ellos) El hecho de que se haya vuelto popular a causa de su fama es una cosa totalmente accesoria, el solo quería ser Músico y lo logró, todo lo demás es ganancia .
Gracias WISE por habernos mostrado una nueva clase de artista.
Here We Got one of the very first Images of WISE while in Music. This one was from late 2005, and we can see him with a fashionably mohawk. Wise, lately announced in his blog he was going to cut it off and made some funny jokes about it. 
This one on your left was taken the same day than the previous one, September 27th 2007. And WISE, as always, being his cool awesome self. At this Time, I was so freaking anxious and I merely could wait until October 10th (Release Date of Children of The Sun)... Is so good to remember these times.
