[TRANS] CD Data July Issue (Full Interview)

“Unable to leave the blissful past, I’m currently in darkness..”
- This year’s summer song is a slow romantic song.

YC: Mm, although this song does not sound like usual summer pieces, but it does bring about the kind of loneliness you feel on a summer night.

YH: Till now, there are a lot of songs similar to “Sky” and “Summer Dream” that have a carefree summer feeling. Although on the surface, the song “DouNUMBER 2e kimi wo suki ni natte shimattan darou? (Why did I like you?)” that was released last year and “Stand by You” which will be released this year do not have this carefree feeling but we want to let everyone experience a summer day full of meaning and show everyone that we have matured.

- Instead of using a slow melody, you guys have used a medium tempo to bring out the feelings effectively.

YH: Yeps, the advantages of a medium tempo is that it is able to adequately bring out the feelings in the song, even more matured than the lyrics of “DouNUMBER 2e kimi wo suki ni natte shimattan darou? (Why did I like you?)”.. It is very suitable for a “Summer Rain” song.

CM: Although “Summer Rain” is not a very dark song however, it does make others feel that there is very little unfocused light.

JJ: Wah! Wah! Changmin-ah! You actually know these kind of feelings? (Eyes Changmin suspiciously)

- If Jaejoong is going to continue being like that, I will explode in laughter. (Laughs)

JS: Eukyangkyang! He is going to start telling the story behind his first kiss again. (Laughs)

YC: Yes! Yes! (Laugh) During one of the performances, Changmin introduced the song and said, “I hope the lyrics can make everyone’s shout can be resonated around the venue!” As Jaejoong was teasing Changmin then, he countered that by saying his first love story (laugh) in order to not lose to Changmin (laugh).

CM: It’s real! (Laugh) It makes me seem like I’m older! (Laugh) Also when I was singing “when the phone rings, how I hope that it would be you, that’s how I live my life everyday~” (T/N: From Stand By U) This part is very real and I believe that a lot of us can imagine this as well. Although the lyrics of the song are descibing about what happens after a break-up, but if you still love that person, you’d still think of the person and would always hope that he/she calls you. As almost everyone has gone through this phase, when I sing this, I would usually be very emotional.

JS: Yeah.. (Sighs) It is indeed a very splendid song.. (Starts singing)

YC: You can feel the time flow and everything that happened through this song. So long as you still love the person, you would have this kind of feeling, no matter the season or time.

JS: The song “Taxi” is a song about loving a girl that is already attached although it uses an “unable to face reality” kind of remorse to perform. However, the song “Stand by You” is a song about the feelings towards a lover who has left and the fact that they are “unable to meet”; it is very sad. That is the difference between the songs.. Ah~ It’s still very sad~. During concerts, I would always feel like crying when I sing these two songs. No matter which song, it shows the hurt that an emotional boy would feel so my heart would always seem like it is being dragged down by sadness..

YC: “The hurt that an emotional boy would feel”.. Junsu.. So cool~~

JJ: I think that the part “Only when I’m beside you would I be able to see the bright light although it is impossible to repeat those happy moments” is the part that hurts most.

JS: Yeah yeah yeah! I think that the part “no matter what happens, no matter what I lose, I will never forget that I loved you once” is the part that hurts most.

CM: Junsu-ah! Jaejoong is answering, please endure abit. (Laughs)

YC: (comforts Junsu) (T/N: OOO, YooSu love much??)

JJ: I feel that the feeling is similar to the case of the male lead being in darkness all the time, unable to see light and that he cannot leave the happy memories behind and in this darkness shows the memories of him and his ex-lover…

CM: The male lead, from my point of view, is one who when reminiscing the past, is determined that he will find hope and continue his life. Although the melody is soft and gentle, but the feeling is similar to that of being in darkness and only able to see a small ray of light.. Just like to black and yellow, it’s that kind of feeling.

YC: I think that the feeling of this song differs from individuals and their current situation. Although sometimes a dark past would appear in my mind, but like the male lead, I would want find the light, a small ray of hope. As I am a very emotional person and cry alot, I can easily cry when just reminiscing a small fragment of a sad memory. The deeper the hurt/cut goes, the heavier the memory is but sometimes I think it’s a blessing.

- Yoochun’s meaning is indeed very deep ^^
JS: (falls into his own world again and starts singing) ah~ ah~ it’s still very sad.

- In the PV, we spot DBSK with black and white suits.. is there any special meaning behind it?
YH: There is actually no particular meaning for the suits. I personally think that one would have gone through alot of different situations. Usually one would want to go on with their life with full concentration but sometimes we stumble onto situations which question on our determination… The filming location of this PV was in a church at Gunma Prefecture and since there are 2 PVs this time (drama version and DBSK version), everyone can take their time and enjoy them.

- The couple tune “Tea for Two” is indeed a song full of happiness and bliss

CM: Mm, yes. I feel that this song is sang by the main lead of “Stand by You” during his happy times in the past.

YC: I think it’s the opposite! “Stand by You” was the past and “Tea for Two” is the present. A couple that broke up realizes that they cannot live without each other and returns together, just like the past, HAPPY ENDING!

YH: I think the same way too!

YC: See~? Love is like that, constantly repeating itself.

JJ: My opinions are rather different from the others.. The male lead in “Stand by You” had never forgotten the past and when he remembers it alone, the song “Tea for Two” plays.. So “Tea for Two” is just like a dream that he had!

- Everyone’s opinions are indeed very meaningful~ So what about you, Junsu? You seem to like songs that give out an “unfulfilled love” kind of meaning, such as “Beautiful You” and “Taxi”. These kinda songs are very naive and suits Junsu. (Laugh)

JS: Does that refer to a lover that would still make food for me to eat? (Laugh) Mm.. not bad not bad (Shy) It is very ideal.

- What if the food isn’t very nice to eat?

JS: Oh~ This is the first time I’m being asked these sort of questions~ (Laugh) Even if it is not very nice, I’d still finish up everything and say that it is very delicious. As compared to taste, the fact that the food was made with a sincere heart makes me happier. Because the song is a very sad and full of hurt, the male lead would still endure the taste of it and finish it up, right?

YH: Yeah. I would also pretend that it is very nice and finish everything and then secretly drink water. (Laugh)

YC: How can it be not nice!! It is made by a person whom you love dearly, of course it would be nice! Even if it is “delicious”, you must still say it out!

JJ: I think so too.

JS: You see, guys are always very kind. However, I think differently from all of you.. I think that “Stand by U”, “Tea for Two” and “Why Did I Like You” tells a story in chronogical order.

YH: “Why Did I Like You”, your lover gets married in the end.. it’s too sad.

JS: On a summer night, if you listened to these 3, one after another, you’d definitely cry. Ah~ Ah~

JJ: Because it’s too sad.. (Laugh)

CM: In the end… it’s still sad..

- In the song “Tea for Two”, the feeling of bliss can be felt just through the vocals. It has a gentle, caring sound to it, and each member sang for quite a long period but it is still very smooth.

YH: Yeah. We usually perform it with a happy and gentle mood~ so that you can hear it just from the vocals. Even before the song, I do feel a kind of happy atmosphere myself.

- The lyricist for the song “Sky” is H.U.B right~

YH: Yeah, until now, H.U.B has written alot of songs for us but most of the time H.U.B writes about the little happiness we feel in our daily lives and lyrics that are full with LOVE. This time round, the lyrics have become the real feelings of the male lead.

- In this song the B part (T/N: I think it means B Chord) is being dragged for quite a long time, who sings the low part~?

YC: Me and Yunho.

YH: This part is very hard~ We have to practice extra hard for the LIVE.

JJ: But in order to let everyone enjoy the song and to have a perfect harmony as well as the right atmosphere, we will work hard. There is a lot of meaning in this song, I hope everyone will enjoy it~

[ADV] One TVXQ! - Project Stand By You

One World. One Red Ocean. One TVXQ! Presents:

STAND BY YOU

Fansigns of Encouragement



A new, very quick project thought up by the staff of O! forums. We all know that the boys are going to be performing at the Tokyo Dome which was their dream and now it's coming true, so we want to show them that we are 100% behind them, hence the predictable name 'Stand By You.' This project is very simple and must be done very quickly... Why? Because we're giving this along with the Yoochun birthday project to the boys at Bangkok and the concert is June 27/28 so it must be done soon!

What you need to do is make fansigns with words of encouragement like 'DBSK fighting,' 'Congrats for Tokyo Dome,' anything that's encouraging as long as it can fit your signs and make sure it's all in ENGLISH. Make sure when you take a picture, the message can be seen! Also make your fansigns stand out and that the picture you take is 900x600px, no more, no less or your fansign will not be accepted.

We're creating a DVD so your pictures will be shown in a slideshow sort of way (together with a video that will be done by the staff), something simple but still meaningful and I'm 100% sure the boys will love it!

As for the delivery of the gifts, we have Plan A and Plan B. Both are guaranteed to work, but we’re still deciding on which plan to use / waiting for more confirmation. We’ll keep you guys posted (:

[BLOG] 090428 Takeshi Senoo’s

Everyone is alright? Ever since morning, Tokyo has been so cloudy.
KUBUDO recording is finally arrived to the final round, I’m working hard right now.



3 years ago, I wrote song for Tohoshinki “Asu wa Kuru Kara” which becomes bonus track of their latest single “Share The World” released today.

At the time the song first released, it became ending theme for anime ONE PIECE. The lyrics was written together with Mai Osanai, we collaborated to finish the lyrics of this song, supporting each other.

Flower blossoming in spring, summer ocean, spring twilight, and a place filled by winter sunshine. Regardless the season, but praying each time to get in through that moment again.

The lyrics was written that time was likely very difficult Japanese for them.
However as they already stepped across the country border line, with a courage in heart to send the lyrics out, they’re working hard to learn Japanese. I was touched and got strength from that, I feel like those memories are just very recent.

Actually, when I was in backstage seeing them, their simple direct stares were really shocking me.
In live performance, I saw Junsu singing the lastest part of the song just like he’s shouting a story, a heartbreak which was hard to be told. At that point, my tears fell down.

3 years later, today, they don’t stop growing more and more mature. In the new single recording this song, I feel very happy from the deepest heart of me. I want to say this to them: “Thank you for singing my song,”

Tohoshinki, FIGHTING!

[Info] SS501's YoungSaeng talks about his friendship with DBSK and Suju

People Often Compare SS501 with TVXQ
I don't think of anyone as my rival, but people see TVXQ sunbae, who are now at the highest position as our rivals. Of course, we feel good, feel honoured.
TVXQ has released a lot of albums and has risen to a very high position, but we are just preparing to rise.
This is common in the music industry. Just like H.O.T sunbae and Sechskies sunbae, perhaps because of rivals, it makes everything more meaningful.


Very Close to TVXQ and Super Junior
I've been close to TVXQ and Super Junior from the very beginning, I think the viewers all know that. I was a trainee together with TVXQ's U-Know Yunho, Hero Jaejoong, Choikang Changmin, Super Junior's YeSung and HeeChul.


Choi Si Won's Classmate
I attended the same school with Choi SiWon and was even his classmate. I was really close to him at that time. He had to go to China under his company's orders, but he would call me. In the end, we both debuted at almost the same time. We always played together when we were trainees, but meeting him now feels so weird.


A lot of New Artists Debuting
I don't really know how to say this but a lot of strong, charming artists are debuting. Other artists start to feel stressed and work harder. I often look back to when I debuted to see the difference. Now, everytime we see younger artists, it brings comfort to us, it inspires us to work harder, (smiles dorkily XD) thank you!


Eternal Rival???
I don't like seeing anyone as my rival. I don't go figuring out who's my rival and what I need to do to be better than them. Naturally, my biggest rival is myself. I think about surpassing myself, I don't want to beat anyone but myself. So I don't see anyone as my rival. Moreover, we are a group, so we have to work together. Although having rivals is a good thing, but overemphasizing isn't. So don't think about this too much.

[News] Swine Flu Attack in Kansai and TSC Concert

The Swine Flu Attack and May 23th – 24th Japan Tour.

May 23th – May 24th – Tohoshinki is scheduled to have performances in Sapporo.

길혜성 News | 2009/05/21 10:11

The spreading of influenza in region of Kasai, Japan makes a lot of new artists to cancel all performances, however the current national tour held by Tohoshinki is not yet affected.

Tohoshinki is now running their 4th Japan tour The Secret Code, which was begun in Kobe (May 4th -5th), Saitama (May 9th – 10th), Sendai (May 16th – 17th), etc.

On May 21st Tohoshinki’s spokesperson Song Hwang Ri said, “On May 23rd – 24th, Tohoshinki will have concert in Sapporo and Sapporo is not in Kansai region.”

Thus, up until now, Tohoshinki’s 4th live tour in Japan will be able to run safely. But the problem will raise in the mid-June, where Tohoshinki’s concert finally is scheduled to be performed in several cities in Kansai region: Osaka (June 10th – 11th, June 13th – 14th) and Nagoya (June 18th, 20th, and 21st).

For Kansai region in Japan is currently stated as new influenza pandemic, Tohoshinki’s concert can’t guarantee to be held as scheduled in those areas. There’s one popular singer’s performances which was originally scheduled to be held in that area as well, however due to the spread of influenze cases in Kansai, has been recently canceled.

Meanwhile, Tohoshinki’s Tokyo Dome The Secret Code concert will be held on July 4th – 5th as the last show of the tour.
