[TRANS] 090420 Yahoo! Music Spotlight Interview, Part 1 + 2 (TVXQ/DBSK/Tohoshinki/東方神起/동방신기)

Yahoo! Music Spotlight Interview part 1
The first Tohoshinki’s album out of four albums since their Japan debut, The Secret Code, becomes two top at ORICON chart. Tohoshinki finally established a real presence in J-POP industry.

A new single whose one of the song is taken from the album, “Share The World / We Are!” will be released.

This time Yahoo! In Music will have an interview with all 5 members. It’s such a successful first interview. All members showed their humorous and genuine personality.

“We have come to an increasing desire to be loved by more people (laughs)” - JEJUNG


■ Last year, all four singles released had a good achievement by spotting at 1st on chart.

Changmin: I am very happy.
Junsu: We’re also pleased (with the music).
Jejung: Thank you to our fans who support us!
All: Thank you!
Jejung: There are a lot of messages too sent to our radio show “You Want To Know?” (T/N: one of Bigeastation corner). We’re so happy to see how much our fans are pleased with us, and that’s one which encourages us more and more.
Yoochun: when our family called us to know about our condition, it’s so good to tell them that we’re doing just fine here.
Junsu: YATTA YATTA! (laughs)


■ Right now you got number 2 spot. But everyone knows that it’s a dream for everyone to get the first. Do you get a pressure to attain that or at least to keep what you’ve already gotten now?

Yunho: Honestly, of course I can’t lie that there is (the pressure). However, aside from rank or position, on the top of that, it’s already very nice to see there are an increasing number of people who listens to our songs. Furthermore, we still need to increase our skill in speaking (Japanese), ours now is not good enough. It’s not bad to have pressure as it will pushes us in a good sense.


■ At the end of last year, you’re invited to Kohaku, red team. How do you feel, concerning that it can be taken as an acceptance by circumstances in Japan??

Junsu: Just like it’s already said before, this is not just our effort. We have supporting staffs and also fans who keep cheering for us. Therefore, while embracing a sense of gratitude to the people around us more than ever, we’re also trying to grow more.


■ I can see there is endless ambition.

Yunho: Yes! I would like to try more things!


■ By the fact that circumstance already changes to you, has your impression to Japan change in comparison with your visit to Japan at the beginning?

Jejung: We have come to an increasing desire to be loved by more people (laughs)
Changmin: That’s the change of heart of Jejung (laughs).
Jejung: Oh, so it is (laughs)


■ も、自分たちを愛してもらうには、みんなも聴いてくれるファンの人たちを愛さないとね
一方的に与えてもらうばかりなのはフェアじゃないと思うし。 (sorry still not getting this part)

With, you have by your, unless the people of the fan which also everyone hears are loved don’t you think?. Unilaterally it makes give as for keeps you think that fair it is not, and.

Jejung: We always sing with all of our heart. So, we believe that our fans can also feel the same way (laughs).




Yahoo! Music Spotlight Interview part 2

“If you want an adventure, please just come to my house…” (JUNSU)

Yunho: the 3 previous albums being compared with The Secret Code, I think I can get the difference. The Secret Code, as it’s expressed from the title, has a deeper thought of Tohoshinki, a stronger ties with fans, this album is to be enjoyed by everyone.

Junsu: When we just finished the album, I can feel the stonger sense of Tohoshinki.

Yunho: If in our previous T album we had challenged to different genres of music, in The Secret Code, we expand the challenge to not only different genres, but also the depth of each element in each genre we pursue. From the lyrics and also music, I think people can see that from T, we already become a different adults.

Yunho: The new single, “Share The World/We Are!” is a theme song for our favorite anime, “ONE PIECE”.It shows different colors and concepts of Tohoshinki. When we finished the song, I feel a fun and breezy feeling, the song is so close to our generation.



■ After heard the song, it makes you smile unconciously. All of your voices are shinning with each own character. I can feel the new Tohoshinki.

Yunho: 』はこの間イベンで披露したんですけど、そのときにみんなでこぶしをあげて「ウィーアー!」ってやってくれてすごくうれしかったですね。
Jaejoong: In the music video making, we have challenge with action wire. It’s nice to enjoy the music while watching the video.
Changmin: The third track in the single is a ballad song that is also important, Asu Wa Kuru Kara. Asu Wa Kuru Kara was released when our listeners are not as many as now. As in connection with ONE PIECE, this song became ONE PIECE’s ending song in 2006. We strongly hope that many people listen again to this song! I feel love in this song.


■ Yes, it’s a famous magnificent ballad song. Alright, ONE PIECE has theme of adventure. If the members in this spring want to bury treasure map somewhere, which place will you choose?

Yunho: I would be Africa
Junsu: please just come to my house.


■ I’ll tell everyone to gather there, then
JUNSU: Oh, it will be difficult. I was just kidding (laughs).
Changmin: I’m going with forest. I want a quiet place to heal.
Yoochun: For me, the sea.


■ Tropical one?

Yoochun: No, Antarctica (laughs). I want to experience a real thrill, and to dare the cold.
Jejung: Me, Avex office. I think we definitely have something hidden in the big building.
Yoochun: Yes, the president’s office especially (laughs).
Yunho: Don’t tell us. Do not underestimate the great treasure that might be hidden there (laughs)
Junsu: Safe!
Jejung: Also, the staffs’ desks (laughs). Sounds like there will be a lot of things revealed.

Dong Bang Shin Ki Xiah JunSu goes “Oh yeah…”

What will make Dong Bang Shin Ki Xiah JunSu go ‘Oh Yeah..’??
Haha, it’s not all that tough to guess.
A netizen posted up a snippet of young JunSu’s diary page. Just the pure joy of playing baseball can make young JunSu so happy.


25th March MondayTitle: Oh yeah
Today, after school ended, I went to the store to get the equipments for the baseball game. After we carried out all the equipment, we ate some snacks before starting the game.
We did gymnastics, then running, short distance, catch-ball-toss. We also did bba ting(?). And after doing a little more of that, coach told called it a day. Originally it should end at 7.30pm but now that I look at the time, it has been 4 hours.
I’m feeling really good. Oh yeah

SO CUTE!

The Secret Code - Related Psychological Test

Tohoshinki comparing themselves to numbers

T/N: a short self-translation from a magazine interview i found on the DBSK baidu bar that was translated into chinese by ohmicky.com beforehand. this particular segment i translated is on a “The Secret Code”-related psychological test. the name of the magazine is not stated. other than the psychological test, Tohoshinki talks about their latest Jpop release “The Secret Code” in which Changmin comments on Jaejoong’s self-composed tune “9095″.

translating is a tough job and i want to make sure this particular magazine interview has not already been translated into english by someone else before i attempt to fully translate it. so please let me know if you think you’ve already seen a similar translation to this elsewhere. comments are much appreciated. ♥
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q. If you compare yourself to a number?
Junsu: 2. Because I will set “1” as my goal, won’t forget and continue working hard.


Psychological test result: Has a very flexible character; is the type that no matter who he is with he can get along with very well. Is a source of strength that can warm up the scene.
Jaejoong: 3. This number is an indispensable number in life. Breakfast, lunch, dinner; 1 day 3 meals; and there’s this saying “In one’s life there will be 3 chances, mistakes can be forgiven 3 times.”


Psychological test result: Is free and unrestrained; is a person with the ability to create new and novel things. Compared to others, he gets the gist of sociality more.
Yoochun: 6. Because my birthday is in June.


Psychological test result: Even if the other party is unreasonable, he is the type of person who will still work hard and give his best. His sense of beauty is also outstanding.
Yunho: 7. This number seems to give me a very extraordinary and special feeling. So I think the number that is suitable with me is 7.


Psychological test result: Hopes to become a unique idol with personality, but will not express this thinking in front of people.
Changmin: 2. For the sake of not forgetting to set “1” as my goal and humility.


Psychological test result [same as Junsu]: Has a very flexible character; is the type that no matter who he is with he can get along with very well. Is a source of strength that can warm up the scene.

Government Appeals to Define TVXQ's Song 'Lewd'

Asian pop sensation TVXQ’s song “Mirotic” is under scrutiny once again as regulators are set to determine whether the phrase “I got you under my skin” is lewd.

The Ministry for Health, Welfare and Family Affairs said Thursday that it will appeal to a high court against a local court’s scrapping the song from “harmful material for youth list”. The Youth Protection Committee, under the ministry, held an emergency meeting the same day and confirmed that the lyrics were inappropriate for teenagers to listen to.The decision comes after the Seoul Administrative Court ruled the committee had to rescind its order to the group to change some of the lyrics when singing on stage and put stickers on CDs indicating the album was banned from sale to those under 19.The committee said last November that the song was harmful to the young since its lyrics, “You want me, you give yourself up to me, you’re mad at me” and “I got you under my skin”, may imply sexual acts.

ORICON Special Interview

The new album, The Secret Code is a smash hit! Has a really good quality content, the image is showing their growth after the condensed 4 years.


[JEJUNG] In the process of recording the album, I had this growing awareness which particularly I never felt. But then after it’s completed, I do feel the growth of us. How we sang when we just debuted was just not as mature as how we do now.



[YUNHO] I’m glad to get through the recording safe. When I first came to Japan, I was really anxious, too aware of Japanese pronunciation, it was hard just to get what’s the meaning. But recently I’ve also improved a little Japanese, without worrying about the pronunciation, I was able to put feelings into songs. Even when we have lack of time to do recording, thus we tried to listen to the songs by ourselves, Oh, then I just can feel the soul now and I can understand the lyrics to the point it develops to higher point of understanding.



[CHANGMIN] Actually, when the time had come to go back and forth between Japan and South Korea for recording the album, I didn’t believe we could afford the time to do all of them at all. But even in that situation, as YUNHO said, I was able to sing with emotion. I could feel the growth there, I am very happy.




[JUNSU] The width of the songs is spreading. There are a variety of genres which I think only because it’s TVXQ therefore it’s possible (to be sung by him). To be able to make such album, by thinking that, it is delightful, and I think my confidence increases.


- YUCHON JEJUNG, Ones who record your own lyrics and self composed songs. What is the image of your self composed song?

[JEJUNG] “Wasurenaide” and the ballad “9095″. I composed a song called “Wasurenaide”, it is a song which I originally made to be sung in Japanese . So I wrote my own lyrics in Japanese. But it is very difficult (laughs). Conversely, “9095″, rather than made by a thought, it just came out really fast from my mind. I was composing at home in my leisure time, and suddenly it’s just popped out. “I want to compose a song like this!” that’s what I thought. And I am happy to have it inserted in the album. When I first came to Japan, I did not think I would write a song in Japanese. I do not believe it myself, but I think that’s the part of the growth



[YUCHON] “Kiss The Baby Sky” is a song which has been composed by having pictures in my mind that all of us will sing it together on tour. The content of the lyrics is an image of two lovers bid farewell with a smile. They split up for the future of each other. A sad yet positive song. When the tour comes, I want to sing along with the audiences.

[CHANGMIN] This is an album where I think I was able to express TVXQ in a lot of ways, it’s because I’m with you guys, I have more growth. If it’s possible, I look forward to a future where we’ll still enjoy time together, doing what we can do together.

- Yes, we hope so too. So everyone, finally on April 22th in Sunday’s new single, “Share The World / WE ARE!”. Both of the songs are used in anime ONE PIECE, right?

[YUNHO] As all of TVXQ members are happening to love ONE PIECE and due to the fact that it’s even aired in Korea. Therefore, being able take charge of the opening theme 2 times in a row, it is an enormous happiness. And as a bonus track, the ending theme of ONE PIECE in 2006, “Asu wa Kuru Kara” is also included. So this single is indeed a ONE PIECE single. So not only TVXQ fans, I think ONE PIECE’s fans can also enjoy it.

[JEJUNG] “Share The World” is a song with summer-like atmosphere, and really suits to the next season of ONE PIECE. We also will have anime PV of this song which is not seen yet, I feel is, I’m psyched. However, it’s so hard to watch ONE PIECE in its April season due to its early-morning air time, TVXQ is a little weak in the morning (laughs). I think it’s hard to get up early, but we’ll try.
