Beautiful DBSK Piano Covers

I decided to make a post on some recent piano covers I have heard...you find alot of them on the internet for DBSK (especially thanks to Lina, our buddy blogger, for transcribing so many for DA!)

These covers bring an added sentimental touch to these songs. I especially found Bolero cover to be even more breathtaking than the original song.

DON'T SAY GOODBYE (Mirotic Album) by dorismusik


MIROTIC by chibiyumiii


Do you guys have recent favourite you want to share?

Speaking of piano, an internationally acclaimed Korean pianist wanted to play a peice for DBSK! That would be quite an honor if it were to happen.
You may have heard of him -- Yiruma. (Alot of Twilight fans might know who I am talking about, especially if you had heard the popular fan-suggested unofficial Bella's lullaby on Youtube which, combining other similar videos, had well over 3 million hits! River Flows In You is a song composed and played by Yiruma!)

Over at Dnbn, a TVXQ fan posted an article which featured Yiruma and in the article he stated:

"I want to give a music piece to an idol group like TVXQ."

Yiruma is a world famous Korean pianist / composer. He's 30 years old, born in Seoul but moved to London when he was a child. After his musical education, he moved back to Korea and started composing music for various venues (mostly dramas and movies). Although he had dual citizenship (Korean and British) he gave up his British citizenship so he could serve in the military for mandatory service (Navy back in 2006). He was discharged not too long ago and he married a former Miss Korea.

Yiruma stated that he wanted to make music for the idol group TVXQ / DBSK because he wanted to make music for a talented group. Yiruma makes some awesome piano pieces (some of the best in the world in my opinion). He made a nice one for K-flow (Kinetic Flow which you can listen to below). If he does make a piece for TVXQ, it's guaranteed to be a hit.

HAHAHA ~ TVXQ Attacks a Female High School

Sorry I am a few days late in putting this up... I had meant to right after the Japanese "school attack" show below (which if any of you have not watched, is great way to cheer-up ^^).

A newly released version for the HAHAHA commerical [well techically its not a commercial but a public message] for Samsung's campaign to spread happiness and laughter in these depressing times (i.e. recession). This time, the CF features high school students studying...encouranging them to cheer up and be positive~

SCHOOL ATTACK Version

^ From what I have read, the students in this class had no idea they were going to show up! TVXQ made a random "surprise attack," on a female high school and performed the "Hahaha" campaign song. The students blogged about this online after it was filmed and alot of people from other schools commented wishing they were the lucky ones to get this close-up exclusive performance XD The students in the school said they would be working even harder in their studies now that DBSK gave them this encouraging message.

DANCE Version


BTW, Goodluck to all those that have exams!

[SHOW] Dreams Come True: DBSK's Surprise Appearance at Japanese High School

OMG. I totally DIED with laughter, joy, and surprise watching this. This is like EVERY FAN'S DREAM COME TRUE! 3 lucky high schools got to realize this dream. [From TBS's show Sanma Tamaos Lets Help Your Dream Come True - Special.]

You must, I repeat YOU MUST watch this! It is currently one of the most-watched videos in Japan and Korea (under different links) You won't even need subs {English subs are out!}...the reactions alone are must-sees! I will try to put the download up for this in a couple of hours.

I highly recommend seeing the videos in Large HD quality here:

Part 1: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_Yz1TRJBN34&fmt=18
Part 2: http://youtube.com/watch?v=DIpxTgIvZmI&fmt=18

[Spoiler: This a SPECIAL episode, similar to the Korean "School Attack"/"School of Rock" show, however this program usually doesn't do this sort of thing. They did this surprise because the girls once revealed to TBS on camera that they wished to see the "cool" guys of Tohoshinki who are "awesome dancers" and dance with them. Well, they got their wish and some! Very touching episode and even more exciting and personal than School Attack.

If you didn't get the gist of what happened at the end of part 1, the girls are asked to learn the dance steps of Purple Line in a few hours and then perform in front of the ENTIRE school (on national television too!) with DBSK.]

[VID] Wake up with DBSK at 6am - First day of 2009

The year is looking GOOD. To make up for my lack of updates, I give you the first video/appearance of DBSK for 2009! Wohoo~! Happy New Years everybody :D

The boys look stellar and very happy on this bright and early morning show, even with their super tight, strenuous, and tough schedule (the PD shows their overnight schedule 2:04 on the show before they came on set). Now here is an example we can ALL follow when we have to go back to DREADED classes and school/work >_< ... whoops, I mean, YEY for classes! :D

These guys are killer role models for me when I feel like calling in sick and running away from work.

Terribly sorry I have been late at updating. I have been very sick for the past few days...^^; This made me feel a whole lot better though! XD

The much anticipated Kohaku performance (click on "CC" for english subtitles):

They performed Doushite and Purple Line, their Oricon #1 hits.
Btw, both the MCs are people that DBSK has interacted with. The female MC is Mari Sekine from Music Station and the male is SMAP leader Nakai who runs a talk show DBSK and Koda Kumi were on together. I am glad to hear they both regard the boys so highly ^^

The performances have to be kept short because Kohaku is a competition between the male and female teams and multiple artists are invited to perform.

[MV] Bolero - Released!

You must listen/watch to this in the right atmosphere (i.e. with no distractions and at night would be perfect)!

Its simply beautiful. I love how it features all the members from pleasing angles softly and leaves a strong impression on the viewer with their strong vocals in this song.

I am sensing another Oricon chart topper. It definitely deserves to be, atleast.

Support the boys and BUY THE SINGLE.

[TRAILER] "Subaru" Movie feat. Bolero as Theme Song

Released 12/18/08 HQ Trailer:

[I ripped the video and the trailer is up for DOWNLOAD in the Videos section!]

This is just a short trailer featured on the newly launched website for the movie "Subaru" set to be released on March 20th, 2009. You can see in HQ on the official website here.

And its not your eyes tricking you. Surprisingly, the trailer shows the cameo appearance Tohoshinki/DBSK in the movie in this first short trailer (rather than the other actors starring in the movie). Seems like the producers know how to atleast hook the DBSK fans early on and not ignore the band's following.

With the great interest generated towards the movie through the release of the preview of "Bolero" on the internet and BigEast station, it is likely the producers noticed a surge of traffic coming to check out the website to learn more about the movie from many different countries. It seems they launched a make shift website to avail this opportunity to do some promotion. DBSK's international fans, Cassiopeia, and BigEast are the ones most aware about the movie right now and it's a smart move to cater to these international fans, since Subaru is planned to be released in other parts of Asia and Western countries as well.

By the way, DBSK will only be doing a short performance in the movie during a scene at a bar, no talking parts.

"Bolero" Confirmed as OST for "Subaru" Movie - New MV Preview

DBSK's new single Bolero has been confirmed to be the OST for Subaru, a Japanese movie based on a hit manga about a ballerina by Masahito Soda.

The movie is being produced by Warner Bros. Japan and it has an impressive and a very diverse set of stars and production crew from Japan, Korea and China. Led by Hong Kong director Chi-Ngai Lee and producer Bill Kong, popular Japanese actress Meisa Kuroki plays the female lead ballerina and and Korean actress Go Ara (also under SM Entertainment, featured in HUG MV for DBSK in the past) plays her rival. These two gorgeous hazel-eyed actresses are sure to make this movie a hit! But aside a great cast, the story itself is very psychological in nature and beautiful at the same time (the feelings in the song Bolero portray this perfectly). Click here to find out more about the song lyrics & movie.

They plan to release this movie simultaneously in 2009 throughout Asia, and are also hoping for releases in Europe and America. We hope that "Bolero" will enhance the story to the audiences and more people will get a chance to appreciate Tohoshinki's talent. DBSK will also be making a cameo appearance in the movie, but no speaking lines just performing.

And it gets better! The preview of the MV has been released (with scenes from the movie).


Thanks to Aya for the tip!

To hear the long version of the new song, set to be released in January 21st, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7coOQq1AORE. "Bolero" is a Spanish word for is a spanish rithym reinvented in latin american countries such as Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Cuba. The word comes from "volero", from the verb "volar" which means to fly.

TVXQ to appear in, sing for "Subaru"

Korean group TVXQ will be making their big screen debut in an upcoming movie based on a Japanese manga. Adapted from Masahito Soda's ballet-themed "Subaru," the film was first announced in November 2007 with Meisa Kuroki as the star.

The members of TVXQ will appear in one scene in which Kuroki's character visits a bar. They are said to have no speaking lines, but will perform on a stage during the scene. In addition, their song "Bolero" will be used as the movie's theme.

The movie, produced by Bill Kong and directed by Hong Kong's Chi-Ngai Lee, opens on March 20. "Bolero" will go on sale in January, before the movie's premiere.

[SINGLE] Bolero - 3:17 PREVIEW + Movie OST Info

A new longer preview of Bolero (TBR on January 21st) was released on Bigeast Station.



For pre-order information, go here.

{EDIT}

BOLERO is going to be a Japanese movie's OST! {EDIT 2} This information is not cofirmed it seems, as the post made on DNBN (Cassiopeia's official forum) was removed because a legitimate source couldn't be tracked down. Also the release date of the single and the movie have a gap. However, I have seen mentions of this OST on some Japanese fan sites myself so I can't be sure. IT IS NOW CONFIRMED!

The movie is called "Subaru", set to release next year on March 20th, 2009 and it seems to have a diverse set of stars and production crew from Japan, Korea and China. Japanese actress Meisa Kuroki plays the female lead ballerina and and Korean actress Go Ara plays her rival. Sounds pretty exiting!

About "Subaru" (Anime News Network):

Warner Bros. Japan announced that it is producing a joint Japanese/Chinese film adaptation of Masahito Soda's Subaru manga about a budding ballerina. Actress and model Meisa Kuroki (Vexille's titular character, Crows Zero's RUKA) has already been filming on location in Shanghai with director Lee Chi-Ngai since October 28, after an earlier Tokyo shoot in September. The film's partners are planning a simultaneous 2009 opening throughout Asia, and are also hoping for releases in Europe and America.

The manga centers on Subaru (Kuroki) and her twin brother, both of whom love ballet and constantly visit ballet classes to watch the dancers. One day, the brother is bed-stricken by a brain tumor. While visiting her brother in the hospital, Subaru meets a formerly famous ballerina (Kaori Momoi) who was forced to give up dancing due to her declining physical condition. The former ballerina agrees to train Subaru to perhaps achieve her own ballet dreams.

The manga's 11 volumes have sold 1.8 million copies in Japan. The manga has yet to be released in North America, although it has been publishing in France, Germany, and Spain. Kuroki has been training for three hours nearly every day since June for her role, while Momoi is already a trained ballerina since she spent three years studying abroad at London's Royal Ballet School when she was 12

The song fits perfectly for it. Espcially if you read the translation of the song below, you will understand why. "I saw you dancing on the moon's stage" ... "Soar high, you will discover a place that will even heal your sadness"

In the movie, beautiful actress Go Ara (also under SM Entertainment and featured in DBSK's HUG music video) will play the main character's biggest competitor (rival), a talented ballerina. The origins of Ara's character was especially changed from Japan to Korea. More info on Go Ara's role here.


Meisa Kuroki, the female lead, is a well-known Japanese actress that starred in popular dramas such as One Pound Gospel, and has also worked on many Japanese movies. A special one to note would be the one she starred in with Jang Geun Suk, "One Missed Call: Final".

Looks like these two hazel-eyed actresses are gonna make this movie a hit!

[PREVIEW] New Japanese Single! - Bolero (Release 01/21/2009)

Credit: BrittanyERROR

Listen in a little better quality: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNBDpCvnlD4&fmt=18

This was performed during their MUSIC JAPAN show special. What do you guys think? Initial thoughts before hearing the good quality full version?

A interesting tid bit, "Bolero" is actually a Spanish word! (Coincidence or does this mean DBSK is acknowledging their Spanish fan base? D: Who knows, but its exciting nonetheless!) Though its not confirmed if the preview song in particular is Bolero -- it might be 忘れないで, the other track in the single.

Its very melancholy and epic-like, totally PERFECT for a movie or a heart wrenching drama ;__; Avex and SM Ent know what they're doing after all - its perfect timing and change of taste after their 2 month promotion of dance songs such as Mirotic and Wrong Number. I was wondering why they weren't performing their other slow songs from the album - it might be due to their Japanese activities, to keep people waiting for their ballads. Not only that, during the winter/christmas season in Japan, its customary for most artists to release melodic or sad songs to fit the season/feeling. (Which is why when DBSK previously released Doushite during the summer, it was shocking to some because it was a great song for an artist to save up for their winter single release).

I am sure this song will give the other artists the run for their money ^^ Can't wait for the MV!

DBSK's HAHAHA Song - All 5 Members! (ENG SUB)

From mickytoho (uploader + translator):

So, finally! The mystery is no more! The NoKy Brothers HAHAHA Song is part of Samsung's campaign for spreading encouragement - to share laughs & smiles - during these hard times.
So its not a commercial, but a public msg campaign.^^ Very unexpected hahaha! How interesting!^^
I think the message is "when going gets tough, tough gets going! so cheer up!"^^
The NoKy Brothers and DBSK did make me (and all of the viewers) laugh and smile, and made my day, so the campaign has already worked!!!^^

DBSK is so cute!

DBSK - Variety Shows You Must Watch!

Here is a challenge! I want to hear YOUR recommendations to which VARIETY SHOW you thought was a MUST WATCH, starring all or most of the members of DBSK. Something you would even show to a non-fan and they would enjoy ^_^

For example, in 2006, alot of people (like me) converted to the DBSK fandom when they saw the XMan (game show) episode with all the members in it. Simply put, they were all hilarious and seemed like such a team. It was not only most watched video online on Korean websites (especially the clip of the face off between Changmin and Jaejoong), but also watched by thousands of people abroad on Youtube. Even my mom was laughing with me when she saw me watching the episode ... and my mother does not know Korean not has ever shown an interest in Asian television so this was a big deal!

...its too bad that some of the videos that had a crazy amount of views, well into the 100,000 are now deleted because of Youtube crackdown. Nonetheless, there are tons reuploaded and out there for new and old fans to discover! Whats your favorite for 2008? (I don't mind hearing your previous year ones either) You may have more than one per year...^^


My current recommendation for 2008:
Fantasy Partner (ENG SUB)

Subbed by Ginaya <3 This show was hilarious! I felt sooo bad for Junsu! Very cute show that will be sure to make you laugh and maybe even cry in some parts. I know it has only 3 members but it can't be helped *sigh*
