PaTi PaTi Jan'08 Translations

Only a some parts were translated though.. Junsu.. Gosh.. Is your innocence for real? ^_^

-- How old were you when you believed in Santa Claus?
YC: Before I went to 2nd grade.
CM: I never believed in Santa.
JJ: Changmin doesn't have a childhood.
CM: Maybe you're right.

-- I thought you wanted to relive your childhood memories! *laughs*
CM: Ah~ yeah *laughs* But, Santa Claus never existed in the first place!
JS: I always believed in Santa Claus until I got to the 2nd year of middle school.

-- Wow, that's really different. (Actually that's not how he/she said it.. this is just the closest I could translate)
JS: When I knew Santa Claus didn't exist in reality, I really couldn't believe it. I was so shocked I couldn't eat for a week.

-- No way...
JS: Because there isn't a meaning in life anymore. I keep thinking what there was left in this world to live for.
CM: So silly *laughs*
JJ: At some stage, it's probably what we call 'innocent'...
JS: Yes, that's right *laughs*
JJ: No no, Changmin is right.
JS: No, what I had before was the pure innocence of Junsu.

-- Do you mean it in the past tense?
JS: No, of course I still have it now. I was just thinking, the dreams we had as a child were like the stars we see floating in the sky given to us.
CM: You make it sound like it's real.
YH: Where have I heard those lyrics...
JS: Then, performing one song after another, for the ever so important you.

(?? sorry I don't get Junsu either)

XXX

-- Then how did you find out Santa wasn't real?
JS: Then I was thinking, "Christmas is coming.. I wonder what I will get.." While watching the television, the female MC said, "There aren't any more children who believe in Santa anymore, right?"

-- But there still is one here *laughs*
JS: Even so I think she's wrong.

-- Why?
JS: I asked my mother, "The girl is lying, right? Santa really does exist, right?" Then she told me honestly Santa didn't exist, and I said, "Ah, no way/really?" But since parents don't look like people who lie, I accepted the facet.... But because I suffered such a shock, I tried my [rice] bowl and ran into my room, crying to sleep.

-- That's so pitiful..
JS: Every year I used to look forward to the presents Santa would give me, but since then I no longer had that feeling.
CM: I've never received any presents [from Santa, I suppose?].
JS: People who don't believe don't get presents.
CM: I don't need things like presents *laughs*
YC: That's because Changmin receives a lot of presents even when it's not Christmas.

-- That's even better than Christmas.
CM: Actually there's no such thing *laughs*

-- How about Yunho then?
YH: I used to believe in Santa before I went to kindergarten. My dad would mimic Santa's voice and use [some kind of] telephone to talk to me. My mom would also do the same and leave a message for me in a Christmas card.

-- Do you still remember the content?
YH: "You've been a good boy this year, hold on tight to your dreams next year!" -- It's different every year.
CM: Not bad eh, I'm envious!

XXX

-- Then, how about Jaejoong?
JJ: I always believed in Santa until I was in the 4th grade. Whenever it was Christmas, whenever I woke up, there'd be a black stocking/pouch beside my bed and inside, it'd be filled with my favourite chocolate pies and . They were from Santa. I was really happy. But when I was in the 5th grade, I saw my mom putting the present by my bedside in the middle of the night. Then I knew all this while Santa had been my mother. Then again, there's only one Santa Claus, how can he travel the world to distribute presents to all the kids on Christmas?
JS: That's what I believed in, Santa is the angel of death!

[Everybody laughs]

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Later on Yoochun talks about his brother and that when he found out Santa wasn't real, he didn't tell his brother because it'd be awful if he knew since he was only 5. Then, when Yoochun went to the 6th grade, they both left for America and when his brother told him Santa was an American, Yoochun said it's true so he dressed up as Santa and gave his brother a present.

DBSK in Beijing; Collab with Jay Chou?

If you read this cynsinnn, sorry.. I totally ripped the article you posted in LJ. Hehe.. Hope you don't mind..

Dong Bang Shin Ki revives the Hallryu wave and wish to collaborate with Jay Chou




Hallyu swept across Beijing once more. On the 2 Decemeber, Cyworld's public charity event was held at Beijing again, thus they invited popular Korean group Dong Bang Shin Ki.

Their arrival caused fans to chase madly, therefore the press conference was postponed half an hour later. During the press conference, Leader U-Know Yunho represented the group and donated toys, also expressed that they are glad to be able to contribute for the charity event.

Yunho said "It has been a long time since we been to Beijing and we miss our Beijing fans." At the same time they announced that they will hold Beijing and Shanghai concerts in May and June respectively. Early this year, they have start to learn mandarin but because of their busy schedule in Japan, their mandarin proficiency is not good.

Despite their hectic schedule, the five members did not show a slight sign of tireness. Xiah Junsoo and Micky Yoochun talked in whispers, lowered the heads and giggled when the other members were answering question. Thus, the reporter praised their good relationship. Xiah Junsoo joked "We are not familiar to each other, but we are always arranged to sit next to each other. I have no choice" This caused an uproar of laughter. When ask which chinese artiste would they hope to collaborate with, Hero Jaejoong answered, "We admire Jay Chou."

Boa, TVXQ Win Gold Artist Awards in Japan

By Cathy Rose A. Garcia

Staff Reporter



Korean pop star BoA and the five-member all boy band TVXQ, also known as Tohoshinki, won Gold Artist awards at the ``2007 Best Hit Pop Song Festival'' in Japan. The two were given the Gold Artist award for top record sales during a ceremony that was aired Monday on Nihon Television.

Other winning artists include Japanese superstars Kumi Koda, Mika Nakashima and the group Winds.

For the 21-year-old BoA, this is the sixth consecutive win. For TVXQ, the award is their first win at the yearend music awards.

The five-member group comprising Xiah, Micky, Hero, Max, and U-Know has recently been aggressively promoting their music on the Asian market. They debuted in August and topped Japan's Oricon daily singles charts with their number ``Summer Dream.'' TVXQ has already released 12 singles ― most of which landed in the Oricon top 10 charts ― and two Japanese-language albums in the last two years. They have recently collaborated with Koda on the song ``Last Angel.''

The Best Hit Pop Song Festival recognizes the most popular Japanese songs and artists of the year, based on requests, record sales and karaoke rankings.
