HMV Japan - Tohoshinki Survey @ 12:07:00 AM

Recently, HMV did a survey on Tohoshinki and here are the results:



Surveying around 3800 people, 98% were females and 2% males.

(I'm guessing that the orange part is the age group so .. 19. 4% - 10s, 27.8% - 20s, 26.4% - 30s, 22,4% - 40s, 4.8% - 50s+ ? )

7% - Since their debut in Korea

12% - From their debut in Japan

21% - About 3 years

29% - Around 2 years


31% - Almost 1 year  (I'm guessing everyone was curious about the lawsuit and involuntarily got sucked into this fandom :D)



Q2. What do you think is Tohoshinki's charm?

1% - Looks (hahahahahhahaha)

34% - Singing abilities (I agree)


8% - Dancing/Performance (we all know who's fault that is, right? :D)

37% - Teamwork (yes, yes, yes!)

3% - 7 to 9 hours

5% - Over 10 hours

I think I would be... with the other 49% of the people ? ^^ but .. 5% of 3800 people is still... 190...

72% - No

22% - 1 to 3 times

3% - 4 to 6 times

2% - 6 to 10 times

I would very much like to be part of the 1% but unfortunately, I've only been to Korea once, and I wasn't even a Tohoshinki fan yet LOL



Q7. Other than Tohoshinki, do you listen to other KPOP?

76 % - Yes

24% - No

I belong with the 76% ( or is it 72% ? the graph doesn't really match with the answers...)

24% - Music

11.7% - Korean Culture

7.3% - Family

3.2% - Friends

Break Out! - Off Shot @ 12:22:00 AM



start at 4:19


credits: XiahKing/yuulinajae

Some simple translations:



"Yoochun, who originally planned to use this expression, recieved this from the director..."

PD: If your expression was even softer, it'd be better

YC: Is it not soft enough?

-

PD: This is okay~

"Is the Directors [OK] a medicine for becoming active again?"

YH: OK

PD: Try this again --- next one

PD: Moving on to the next setting

YH: HAI

"Yunho, who no matter what, works his hardest to make sure he accomplishes the things he cannot do"

YH: Can we do this again? The ending part

-
"Things to watch out for in the PV?"

YH: I don't know where the spider will land and I have to make it so that it seems like there's really a spider there. How that's going to work is a bit hard.

"Finally the first one finished filming..."

YH: This time I'm the first to finish filming.... feels a bit weird~

-

"[Has he grown taller again?] Because of this question, his height was measured"

PD: It's 190cm ah ~ (#!$!#!$ should I note that he does not need to grow anymore... 190cm = 6'3'' ??)

"Changmin, who's very happy to see the dancers again"

"Seems like he wants the staff members to relax while they film..."

PD: It's been a long time ... let's start now
-
"The mood of the PV ?"

CM: It seems like it will become those very dark PV

CM: I really want to see how it will turn out

-

"Junsu's special make-up session... START!"

YC: How long will it take?

PD: Probably an hour and a half

YC: Grandpa Junsu, I'm going now~

PD: It'll be something like this

-

YC: I understand, thank you for you guidance

"How do you feel about today?"

YC: Being with the two foreigners..

YC: They were both on that side of the camera yet I was alone on the other side

YC: Each doing our own thing... it feels a bit lonely (I have a feeling he's not talking about the two kids..?)I

-

"How was the special make-up?"

JS: It took about ..... 2 hours

JS: And then I waited for about 2-3 hours

JS: Then the filming finally started (4-5 hours for a .. 2 second shot ? ^^)

JS: Filmed the shot for about 15 minutes..

JS: It really does feel like a waste of time filming ( XD )

JS: But in the PV it'll have a really good appearance time

JS: It's an important part of the PV

JS: Please look forward to it ~

-

PD: Start~

"Jaejoong suddenly laughs at this part...."

JJ: Sorry, sorry, really, sorry about that

PD: Jaejoong, gambatte !

PD: A very meaningful look, then turn around

"So the reason behind laughing is because the OFF SHOT camera appears in the filming scene of the PV"

JJ: It's all because of this camera~

PD: Cut

PD: Is it really ~ (of course not, Jaejoong just can't not laugh LOL)

JJ: Doesn't it seem very funny? It's suddenly right in front of me

JJ: This shot was supposed to be the one that needed the least time

JJ: I guess I've wasted a lot of film

JJ: It's all because of me

PD: The last scene..

JJ: I'm sorry everyone

JJ: And sorry to the members as well

---

So Minnie mouse has grown again? 190cm ? Is there some way to stop him from doing that? It's already making the other 3 very depressed and it throws their standing order off balance LOL

I want my "Break Out!" CD now ! D<

091231 Mnet Japan @ 10:37:00 PM



Mnet Japan - DBSK Special

part one:



Host: Hello everyone, I am XXX. Today we're at XXX. MNet Tohoshinki Special is about to start. Why have we come here? Well take a look, right, fans should be very clear about this. We are in front of  SM Entertainment. First off, SME has produced many of Korea's top stars, and amongst these, of course, are Dong Bang Shin Ki, Tohoshinki.


At the closing of 2009, there have been many Japanese shows with the five of them together, putting the fans at ease for bit. Unfortunately, it is near impossible to see the five together here in Korea.
Yunho and Changmin have stayed in SME while the other three have already started their solo activities in Korea. Last month they attended the MAMA Award Show under the name of Dong Bang Shin Ki and other of their activites have been coming along. Of course, it is present that all five of them are need to show Dong Bang Shin Ki's charm. So today, we have put together videos of Dong Bang Shin Ki that only MNet has for everyone to watch. Please enjoy these to the very end.

-

We are here at the front door, and look at these walls.... there are many fan comments; Dong Bang Shin Ki's name appears a lot. Sadly, it is not possible to meet the five here....

Voice: A Star amongst Stars, bright five stars, Dong Bang Shin Ki; with Korea and Japan as their main stage, sweeping Asia with their immense popularity.... XXXX (the same old stuff XD)

This program will be divided into four segments to fully understand their charm; HERO, MICKY, XIAH, U-KNOW, DONG BANG SHIN KI Special 2009!
-

Host: So then from now we will get into the Dong Bang Shin Ki Special. First of all, today's guest, who will analyze Dong Bang Shin Ki with me today, a professional; someone who, in Korea, can be said as a person you can't not know, is very active in the entertainment business; Mr.XXX, music critic. Mr. XXX, how are you?
Sensei: Hello.

Host: Sensei is recognized as Korea's XXX (talks about who he is and how he's very famous etc, etc.) You seem to be very busy, usually you have at least 10 programs to record?
Sensei: Usually it's around 10, when it's busy, it can get to 13. (famous and busy, indeed.)

Host: 13! How does that schedule work?! Ah, so then, how does your path cross with Dong Bang Shin Ki? Is there anything special?

Sensei: First of all, Dong Bang Shin Ki appeared on stage in 2004 (it's 2003 !!) and after that, they have been acquiring many awards. I have been the award presentor twice for them. Also, last year in 2008, when Dong Bang Shin Ki's fourth ablum, MIROTIC, was banned for teens under the age of 18, I was part of that committee who made the decision.

Host: That topic was quite big.

Sensei: It was a very big topic. I was one of those who didn't agree with the ban. It was too harsh, and the standards for teens today is much different than it was years ago. The times have changed, and so because of this, I quit the committee. This is the relations I have with Dong Bang Shin Ki.

Host: MIROTIC were a hit in sales in both Japan and Korea. Having it be a hit must have its reasons, so let's move on the topics regarding Dong Bang Shin Ki, something that only sensei can tell us. Our first section; please view the VTR.

Voice: Asia's Star, Asia's first star, Dong Bang Shin Ki; from the day they appeared to the present time, let us take a journey back.

-

2004, first single, HUG. At that time, they were newcomers, but their stage presence and charisma were already at the top level. Already creating many talks for their first single, their second single, The Way You Are, coupled with wonderful voices and dances, became Asia's Star. With their first album, swept the awards at MKMF and appeared on stage as the star, Dong Bang Shin Ki.

2005, summer single, welcoming summer with the beach and the waves, continuing to steal woman's hearts; in the second album, Rising Sun, showed powerful performances and conquered the stage. Winter single, brought with them a warm image, warmed fan's hearts as the weather turned cold. Then at the 2005 award shows, accepted awards with their true, star identities. (sorry if this sounds kind of awkward; I'm trying not to be repeititive XD)

2006, chosen as Korea's Soccer Team Representative, continued performances and held their first concert to return all the fan's love.
-

Yunho: Because it's our first concert, there are some concerns but we're all very excited and we have practiced hard for it.
And then with their charm and charisma, they came back, in 2006, and swept the awards.

Yunho: First off, I want to say here, to Cassiopeia, really, thank you very much.


I already had a feeling I wouldn't be able to translate this all in one day. Thank you to cathy@pixnet for the Chinese translations!

also, why isn't this subbed? it's a really great video on our boys; it's full of compliments and insights on our boys 8)

Shall continue tomorrow ~ to those who can understand Korean/can read Japanese, do watch the rest of the show ^^

Bigeastation 142/143/144 @ 2:31:00 PM


I do vaguely remember that I said I'd quickly put some of the highlights of the previous episodes but I have obviously forgotten about it

So before I forget again, here goes :D

Bigeastation 142: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rv85cq  YH/CM
Bigeastation 143: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ekln36   JS/JJ/YC
Bigeastation 144: http://www.sendspace.com/file/b5zv33   ALL

Okay, let me do some simple translations ~

Episode 142-


Changmin will have a change of heart 3 times; Yunho 4 times

CM: Today is also going to hosted by me and Yunho.

YH: Weird, today too? It's been three weeks in a row.

CM: Mm, yes. Yunho-sama, do you not like hosting with me?

YH: No, it's not that, but just us two hosting three weeks in a row, is that good?

CM: Mm~ As expected you don't want to host with me.

YH: No.. I was saying......

CM: Mm?

YH: That's it's not like that.

CM: Then what is wrong with this?

YH: Ah, ah, ah..

CM: Yunho-sama, this should be because you hate me. You don't like me?

YH: Hn, why has the topic suddenly changed to this? (Why indeed;)

CM: Exactly what is it. Do you hate me?

YH: Changmin, you can stop now.

CM: Yunho-sama, please answer my question.

YH: Ah, what?

CM: You didn't answer my question at all.

YH: I understand. Okay, I'll answer.
 CM: Hai.

YH: I do not hate Changmin.

CM: I said, this isn't an answer. Please answer whether you like or hate me. (Having Changmin ask you that is creepy enough; having him force you to answer....?)

YH: What is this. Mm, okay, I like Changmin. I. Like. Chang. Min. Like, like, like okay?

CM: Ah, really? Thank you Yunho-sama, thank you very much.

YH: Ah, ah, ah~

CM: This makes me very happy. Okay, since Yunho likes me....

YH: Hahaha

CM: Actually whether it's hate or like I don't really care.... (then why would you ask?! creeper;)

YH: Ah, right, right, right.

(this episode has too many interesting bits)

CM: Radio name is "Loves Junsu Very Much"~ Question is: For dinner, what would you eat first? 1) Carrot 2)Bamboo (?) 3)Egg

YH: I would choose egg.

(skipped)

CM: I choose carrot.

YH: Why? You must have looked at the answer.

CM: No, I didn't. I picked before....

YH: Hai~

CM: ... and then I looked.

YH: Ah, is that right~

CM: Mm~

YH: So then your answer must be pretty good eh?

CM: No, no, no. It shouldn't seem like a very good answer~

YH: Hai.

CM: Answer: This represents what you look at first when you first meet a girl.

YH: Eh?

CM: Yes~ For me who chose carrot, will look at the girl's face.

YH: Oh~ Face.

(skipped)

CM: Those who chose option 2 will look at the legs.

(skipped)

YH: I won't look at legs.

CM: Hai~ The last one....

YH: Mm.

CM: Last is your option.

YH: Ah~ So nervous, hahahaha

CM: Number 3 is egg.

YH: Egg.

CM: Those who choose egg will look at the girl's chest (area?)

YH: Hahahaha

CM: Girl's chest..

YH: This question is a bit werid.

CM: No, chest...., I don't think it's all that bad (LOL XD; Yunho's not a pervert like you, Mr.Shim)

YH: Chest represents the heart~

CM: Probably would look...

YH: Nononono, chest should mean the inner self, so I ...

CM: Nononono, it does not mean that. (don't be so hard on  leader-shiii)
-
YH: Radio name, "Changmin Love."

CM: Yeah, baby!

YH: Question: An angel appears in front of you. Says something to you and then disappears. What did the angel say?

CM: Something like "Changmin will live a long life" (refer to AA3, Soulfighter talk)

YH: Ah ~

CM: Should be something like that. "Changmin will live long."

YH: Okay. Answer is: "This represents what you want others to say to you."

CM: Hai, Just like that.

(skipped)

CM: That really is my wish.

YH: Okay, I understand.

CM: I want to live long.

YH: Changmin is especially scary today.
-
Radio name, "Yujejunsuko." Question: You are making a sandwich for you girl friend. You put lettuce, ham, and eggs. How many slices of ham will you put?

Yunho; four slices             Changmin; two-three slices

YH: Can I change my answer?

CM: No,no, no, it's too late.

Answer: The number of slices represents the number of time you will have a change of heart.

CM: Probably that's already happened before, has it?

YH: I haven't ~

CM: So you're saying you're going to have a change of heart 4 times right?

(let's just say, without Junsu, Changmin's verbal bullying target has been shifted to Yunho LOL also, after Changmin comes home from drinking a bit too much, he jumps rope 300 times because he feels like he can't live life like that.... XD)

And that's it for episode 142 -- thank you to H-san@pixnet for the transcriptttt !

BREAK OUT! PV @ 8:22:00 PM

Sorry Junsu, but it looks as if I'll have to move your birthday post to January 1st ^^

Meanwhile, some quick news:

Tohoshinki's new single BREAK OUT! PV will be shot tomorrow? Something like that. It'll be a dance song (hopefully not the Survivor type moves, I had a good laugh at those; the performances were fine, the PV... not so much? XD) Anyhow, this is taken from their dancer, SONNY's, blog which is right here: http://citylightstokyo.com/blog/primetime/author/sonny

and of course..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIM XIAH JUNSU !


Q version of Kim Junsu and Xiahky ! 太可愛吧,是我的話,一定不捨得用


Note that it says "XIAHDAY" , and not "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
(this cake looks too cute to eat... I wonder what happened to it after?)


Let's see... it's soccer Junsu, 女傑 Junsu... Mirotic Junsu? and what else.. that red hair.. 06 Junsu?


I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS! it's MBC 幻想的同桌 (I have no idea what it is in English LOL)


TRI-ANGLE JUNSU ! LOL ... and Wrong Number Junsu with a gun (charisma Junsu)  Oh, there's also... when was that hairstyle... ah~ "The Way you Are" ... right? :D

and a video:


Just wait till January, Junsu-

Side notes:

BIGEASTATION 142
(link right here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rv85cq)

Although it's still only Changmin and Yunho, I think that they're feeling a lot .. cheerful this time? Once again Yunho succumbs to Changmin's smart mouth (I guess without Junsu, Yunho shall have to be the replacement ^^) I'll post up some translations on the highlights of that.. perhaps this weekend?

Also, anyone watch the "Smile Again" fanmeeting?? T_T I wish I was there; sigh.

From cathy@pixnet : "這個活動是剛剛開始的, 日本凌晨一點鐘, 各個有部落格的東神飯, 包含Bigeast跟一般的飯, 同步PO上部落格, 同時對SM公司及東神五名成員請求"

This activity had just started, at around 1am in Japan. To all those who have blogs and would like to join in on this, please include the original Japanese version and post the title as"「東方神起は私たちが守る」". Also, use your real name for the "XXX".

(Well, you don't have to, but it's preferred, but if like me, I don't really feel like exposing my real name so I'm just going to keep it as XXX for now. I do know that I can give your posts to the person who posted this so she can upload it to Bigeast (she's part of it). But since I don't have very much information on this right now, just post this on your blog and use it as your first post. ^^)

Doesn't matter if you're part of Bigeast or Cassiopeia or just a regular fan, anyone can participate in this, just remember to post it on your blog ~

I'll be updating this to see if there's anything that we are supposed to do. Once again, just change the XXX to your own name. Spread this around ! (once again, the English translations were done by me so please do not alter them unless you find some terribly wrongly done translation LOL - I did the best I could, Japanese and Chinese don't really directly translate into anything that makes sense in English... )

091122 Bigeastation 139 @ 6:34:00 PM

First, their recording picture (why do the locations look different each time? Are they even in Japan this time ? ) oh, vote: http://kr.news.yahoo.com/nuriwl/poll_v2/view.html?qid=50173 (no log-in required, just find their faces and vote - blue button)


One point is full marks ! - Junsu
Junsu reveals everything ! - Jaechun

And a little excerpt from Bigeastation 139:
(link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/ife737)

JS: Last time it was you two as well. (referring to who was hosting)
YC: Why are the members the same as last times'?
JJ: Junsu will explain this to everyone.
JS: That....
YC: Junsu.
JS: It's like this, Changmin and Yunho forgot to wake up on time.
JJ: Hahahahaha.
JS: That's right.
JJ: Very....
YC: Is that true?
JJ: An easy and understandable answer.
YC: That won't do.
JS: Doesn't matter, doesn't matter
JJ: The other two are coming right now?
JS: Ah, sorry. I lied.
YC: Liar.
JJ: A real liar.
YC: Ya ~
JJ: What a liar, you can't lie on the program.
YC: Junsu always lies every once in a while.
JS: No, no, no, this isn't lying, this is humour.
JJ: Hahaha.
JS: To start up the atmosphere here.
YC: Right.
JS: I had to say something humourous.
YC: Only Junsu would do something like that.
JS: Hai, hai ~
YC: Junsu's world.
JS: I hope our fans can understand.
JJ: Junsu-sama, the audience really wants to know the reason, the real answer.
JS: Right, of course ~
JJ: Did you really think the audience would fall for it?
JS: This... Yunho and Changmin are filming dramas in Korea.
YC: Right ~
JS: Because of a schedule conflict, this time ....
JJ: No matter what.
JS: It's up to us to host.
YC: TV drama...
JS: Hai ~
YC: It takes a long time to film.
JJ: Right, but the two are working very hard at it.
YC: Right.
JJ: We will cheer them on here in Japan as well.

-

Toho-Psychology

JJ: Today's question is "On a very nice weathered (?) day, you dive into the sparkling ocean and swim alongside the fish. Suddenly, you feel that breathing has become a bit difficult, so you come up to the water. At the time, you say a statement."

YC: Ah, I thought of it.
JJ: What is it?
YC: "The tsunami's here!!"
JJ: Tsunami, hahaha, "Tusnami's here !"
YC: "The tsunami's here!!"
JJ: Okay, okay, okay. Junsu?
JS: "I survived !"
YC: What?
JJ: Eh? You mean you're still alive?
JS: Hai, hai, hai ~
YC: Ah ~
JJ: "Ah, I'm still alive"
JS: I want to change my answer.
JJ: You want to change it?
JS: I'm going to change it to "The weather's nice."
JJ: The weather...., that's good.
YC: Me too, I want to change my answer.
JJ: Yoochun.
YC: "I miss it" (not too sure how to translate that... it more or less translates to "very miss" so..?)

JJ: "I miss it."
YC: Not "tsunami's here".
JJ: Both answers are very weird, here's the answe
YC: Okay.
JJ: This, ahh ~ The answer is: "This is what you say after you and your girlfriend kiss for the first time."
YC: "I miss it!" Hahahaha.
JJ: Hahahaha.
JS: Very nice..

skipping a few lines ~

JJ: Junsu?

JS: What did I say before?
JJ: "Ah, the weather is nice"
YC: "Ah, the weather is nice"
JJ: "Ah, the weather is nice!"
YC: After you kiss you say "Ah, the weather is nice"
JS: Isn't it like that? After a kiss...
YC: Because you're embarrased, you'll feel shy.
JS: Right, right, the sky will turn into a pure white.
JJ: Junsu's first answer is more interesting. "Ah, I'm still alive!" Hahahaha.
YC: Hahahaha
JJ: "Ah, I'm still alive!"
JS: Then let's just use that answer.

-

How do you say it in Korean?

fanmail saying she wants to hear Jaejoong say: "おはよう。朝だよ。早く起きて!" to her.
(Morning, it's morning, hurry, wake up !)

Japanese:
おはよう - ohayou (morning or good morning)
朝だよ - asadayo (it's morning)
早く起きて! - hayokukite (hurry, wake up)

Korean:
안녕 - annyeong (hello)
아침이야 - achimiya (morning)
빨리 일어나 - pali ileona (quickly wake up)

after that, Jaejoong also says it in English ^^

English
Yo ! - informal way of saying hello ? LOL
Good Morning ! - what you greet people with in the morning
Come on ! - to urge someone to get going :D


And that's what I thought were the highlights of this episode ^^ HoMin next week ~ (thanks to heartmindsoul@pixnet)

- random note: did you know, if you use Google translate to translate 東方神起, you'll get TVXQ and not something weird like "east god rise"

Registering on Daum @ 6:53:00 PM

Another pictorial, this time for http://www.daum.net/

1)


2)


3)


4)


 - have your phone ready as they will call you (voice recording) as soon as you click the button, have pen and paper ready so you can decode the numbers later

5)


6)


7)


8)


That should be it (I accidently ... did something so my browser closed, but after that page your account should be ready and so whatever is next doesn't really matter :D

Ah, as for the academic level and occupation, I didn't get a chance to show that before I closed the browser... but from what I remember it should be elemenary > high school > univeristy for the academic levels (there are a lot to choose but any one of them works the same). For the Occupation tab, if you're a student, look for 핰상 if you're a student LOL (I'm pretty sure I typed that correctly)

 - note: please remeber that your NAME should be CAPATALIZED or else it won't work. Your nickname can be in lowercase. Also, your ID (something@hanmail.com) is used to LOGIN so please remember your ID (you just need to know the 'something' part). And lastly, use a real phone number or else it won't work ! You'll recieve a call and you will need to write insert the number code into that small box !!

Okay, that should be it.

One more thing, I did take time and effort to do this (it took be quite awhile cause I couldn't use the same phone number for my account) so if you repost this, CREDIT, or I will not be very happy with you. Don't edit out my name (if you can find it) on one of the pictorials or else -warning- (smiles)

Oh right, as soon as you make this, I'm sure the first thing you want is DBSK's daum fancafe, right? ( bricked ), hehe, here is it ! http://cafe.daum.net/soul48  (click the big pink button to join ^^)

Have fun with this ~

Yahoo! Buzz Award 2009 @ 11:03:00 PM



Thanks to cathy@pixnet for the heads up !

Turns out that DBSK is now #3 on this list, coming
behind Kim Hyun Joong and SS501. (not to mention KHJ has twice as
many votes as DBSK, but he does LOL)

So, let's all help out and vote right here: http://kr.buzz.promotion.yahoo.com/asiabuzz2009

And here is how:

1)



2)


3)


4)


The message says that you can vote 10 times a day for the same artist but, from my experience, you cannot re-vote just by closing that window and pressing "vote" again. You have to close the browser and go back on the site and go through the same procedures to do so. (maybe it's just my computer, but just in case ^^) Ah, and this also tells you how many times left you can vote.

5)


Another option, much quicker

6)


This should come up after you press vote ^^

That should be it -- once again thanks to Cathy for the instructions !

SM Says ... @ 5:22:00 PM




This should be news from Nov 12/09 ( I think ) I'm not sure if it's
completely accurate since I haven't seen this being posted on other
sites (or maybe I just don't check often enough..) but SME has revealed
their earnings for this third season.

From what I understand, the red line is the turnover (the rate at which goods are sold (I THINK)) and the blue columns are the earnings (total income?). Don't rely on me for these terms, I really am just using the best of my abilities to turn it into English ..

So, compared to the earnings from June earlier this year of ₩46,300,000,000 (463 billion), we can see an obvious decline of numbers.



Nothing to big of a deal, stocks and earnings declining.

But SME  purposely said that even without Dong Bang Shin Ki, the company is still doing fine since SNSD, SHINee and Suju are doing so well with their album sales and digital sales and also with f(x), who have just debuted in September recieving such great popularity.

"With SNSD is having their Asia Tour concert, Super Junior-M and their activities in China, SHINee and f(x)'s schedules all planned out till the year end, it looks like SME's fourth season will continue to go up"

Wake up call -- their stocks are doing down..

We all know Dong Bang Shin Ki has been missing and have been very busy being Tohoshinki in Japan and so if that fact makes SME think that they're doing fine without DBSK, well... I hope they remember part of their stocks and earnings come from what Tohoshinki are doing in Japan.

There was:

January's "Bolero", ranking #1 on the O Chart
March's "Survivor", #2 on the O Chart
Their fourth album, [The Secret Code], #2 on the O chart
April's "Share the World", #1 on the O Chart
July's "Stand by U", #2 on the O Chart
September's "Colours ~ Melody and Harmony", #1 on the O Chart
Their Fourth Live Tour - Tokyo Dome - The Secret Code
History in Japan Vol. 4
All About DBSK Season 3

... all either with sales near 100 000 to near 200 000 ( I can definitely see how fine they would do without all that :D )


  - please concure that these are just the opinions of a very aggravated fangirl *

時ヲ止メテ @ 1:10:00 PM

時ヲ止メテ

急ぐように 夏の星座たちが
ビルの谷間に 傾いて隠れてく


通り過ぎる 僕らの毎日
ちっぽけなことで 泣きそうな時もある


いつか君が行きたがっていた
あの店はもう無くなってしまったけど


どうな日も 僕達は
二人の恋は終わらないと信じていた


時ヲ止メテ ずっと君のそばにいたい
もっと君を抱きしめたい


ひとつひとつ君のことを覚えながら
永遠だけ信じてた


時ヲ止メテ ずっと君のそばにいたい
見上げた空 願い込めて



ひとつひとつ輝く星 つなげながら
君のカタチ 探してた


時ヲ止メテ ずっと君のそばにいたい
もっと君を抱きしめたい


ひとつひとつ君のことを覚えながら
永遠だけ信じてた



讓時光停住

夏天的星座們 好像在趕時間
傾斜著消失在高樓大廈的山谷裡


我們共度的每一天
有時也會為了微不足道的事 快要哭出來


你愛去的那家店
總有一天會消失不見


但是不管哪一天
我們相信兩人的愛情永不結束


讓時光停住 一直待在你身邊
緊緊抱住你


記住你的每一件事
只相信永遠


讓時光停住 一直待在你身邊
我抬頭向天空許願


一顆顆閃爍的星星 連成星座
找尋你的身影


讓時光停住 一直待在你身邊
緊緊抱住你


記住你的每一件事
只相信永遠


Let Time Stop


Summer's constellations seem to be rush
Through the open valleys and over the high-rise buildings


Every day that we spent together
Sometimes it seems we cry over small things


The shop you loved to go to
Will likely one day disappear


But no matter when that day is
I believe our love will never end


Let time stop Let me always stay by your side
Holding you tightly


Remembering everything about you
Only believing in forever


Let time stop Let me always stay by your side
I raise my head to the sky and wish

On the stars that create the constellations
Looking for your shadow

Let time stop Let me always stay by your side


Holding you tightly


Remembering everything about you
Only believing in forever






It's been translated many times (I know) But I thought I'd post it
here too cause the song deserves too (why isn't their a CD for this..)

Anyway, credit Chinese subs to picnicxiah, English by me LOL

Heaven's Postmain Trailer - Translations @ 6:00:00 PM

I need to mention that school has officially gotten the best of me.
It won, I lost. (sigh) Anyhow, I still managed to get hold of the
Heaven's Postman trailer HQ version and the Chinese subbed version so,
because it's so short (wish it was longer), I translated it.

I probably (most likely) sub it later and post it on youtube so check
there if you would rather have moving visuals + words vs. just words
 ( bold = narrator's words / italicised = character's words )

-EDIT-

The video: (yes, I subbed it LOL)



The letters heartbroken people send to their loved ones can be recieved
But who are you?
Heaven's postman
At this place, this girl meets the postman who delivers letters to Heaven
What are you doing?
Aren't wasting your time?
With his own secret to hide, Jae Joon
No foot prints
Are you a spirit?
Angel
But, like normal people
There are things that are hard to believe
Over there...
Is there a person there
Yes, there is
There is
Yes


These things make it certain that he is well and alive
If so, then how does he send letters to Heaven?
Have you thought of helping me with work
What
Here, Jae Joon, lists out conditions for work
Every hour, 20 000 won
A bit suspicious, but Ha Na is gullible enough to believe
Next, the job to sending letters to Heaven starts
You're saying that my father can recieve this?
Yes
Thank you so much
Ah, no, no
But doing the job like this, isn't it a bit suspicious?
If there's no problem...
Could you sign here?


The answer is, once the job is recieved, it happens like that.
Grandpa, are you there?
On the other hand, Jae Joon works on something else
It's this one
This is a letter that this Grandpa has always been waiting for
 - talk talk talk, I didn't understand this part -


This is a movie from the Asia's top stars, Dong Bang Shin Ki's gift to fans
Han Hyo Joo also put a lot of time and effort into this
She really is hardworking


Together with Jae Joon, a relationship soon starts to blosson
But like before, a woman comes to send a letter at the mail post
That woman is...
I know her...
She's my deceased lover's lover
When I cry, there's never anyone beside me
I'll leave a spot for you in my heart, how is that?
Not knowing when it started, the two ....
When is it going to end?
Ended
When?
When it becomes revealed
In the end, what is Jae Joon's past?
The answer is here.... (movie title)

If you take these translations and sub your own video saying you translated it yourself
I will come over and shoot you in the head :D Just credit and all is civilized and of course,
feel free to repost on your blog or whatever LOL just credit ;]
Ah, and of course, there could be mistakes (most likely) so don't kill me if I mistranslated ^^

Junsu's Cyworld @ 8:32:00 PM

Now I've always known Yoochun had a cyblog, never knew Junsu had one too. According to fans, he opened this blog under his brother, Junho's name.



So anyway, Junsu updated his blog last night with this...

"한동안...말을 잇지 못했다"

Which roughly means,

"Suddenly, I have no way to connect the words to say"

What are we going to do? I do, in a sense, feel a bit betrayed by everything. I can only see one outcome to all this, which, in no way,
invovles all five of them together on stage as Dong Bang Shin Ki. If
this is the outcome, then why make us believe? Why not just
tell us earlier that things would turn to the bad side? Wouldn't that
feel like less of a betrayal?

But in the end, I know I won't give up on them (sigh). fighting!

Ah, right, this blog is only confirmed to be true by fans, I cannot guarantee that it is in fact, Junsu's blog.

Just a little Something @ 5:03:00 PM


Now LSM might (and probably not) the only one to be blamed at SME
but blame him for having the company named after him, right?

Honestly, this is the worst time to worry about the whole lawsuit for
me as I am quite behind on my studies. Just goes to show how greatly
being a fan affects a fan's life. Anyhow, I just went on several sites
and read some feedback and what can I say, everyone has mixed opinions.
For once, there are fans siding with SME instead of the other three.
I guess... that's only natural.

Here are some that I decided to post:


"What HoMin wrote might not be what they really mean...
Ah, it really might not be...
The other three must be feeling very upset...
Who's to say something didn't happen...
I feel so lonely and hurt
The more I know, the more polluted my love for you is
I won't search or read anymore of this."



Someone else said: "What is this??? What about us fans???"


Those who saw SME's statement: "Next year spring? Does it mean that the comeback, one that Korean fans have waited so long for... if the three members choose to not come back, will become nothing? So are they using HoMin's name as a threat for the other three?"

Next person: "It seems like... the 2 members who stayed with SME are the right ones... but because they have stayed at SME, what if they were not allowed to disagree with the company... but...if the two are saying this, then does that mean that compromise is impossible?"

Another person: "What is this, a fight? Touching on this matter (the cosmetic business), isn't it becoming too out of hand? Our Yunho .. really ! That's why we need to make sure if he really wrote it. I'm getting more and more worried about next year's fanmeeting.."

This person...: "Can I say something? Yunho... your signature, isn't it Tohoshinki Yunho's signiature? On a document like this, you should sign it seriously like how Changmin has signed it." (she/he is saying that the signature Yunho used is the same as the one he signs on fan products).

Lastly : "The painful part is coming again... only 10 days (the deadline). I still don't really understand the thoughts of the two still staying with SME. Is it really trust or is it some other reason? As a Tohoshinki fan, I hope all five of them can leave SME and continue their activities together. That's what I think... sigh, split in in half..."

Japanese fans, they're still gentle in their comments (unlike us over
here, laughs). There is one that contains slightly more rude, opinionated thoughts :D

Fan: "What is all this ?? What kinds of threats did you pull to make the two sign the document?


Using those two as hostage, even dragging in their parents, how can you do that and not feel ashamed???


Your ill manners are too well known.
SME and Tohoshinki signed a 13 year contract, which basically means a slave contract can easily be claimed void by the court with simple law rules.
Please do not take advantaged our your upperhand in this situation to hurt people, to make us hate you more, to want to curse you.
Please to not make me spit out: "You (insert word), you will definitely not live a happy life~~" types of curses.
If it were you who were the industry's top stars, you wouldn't want to work under such conditions.
Bring out all your evidence of innocence,
Please don't abuse Tohoshinki and their fans' relationship ~~"

Still pretty gentle sounding to me, very reasonable, not all rushing out to conclusions. Pretty... negotiatable. Notice the "putting yourself in one's shoe" analogy :D

I have no reason to bash any side as I refuse to take sides. Hmph.

SM'S Counterattack @ 11:20:00 PM

Lately, there has been tons and tons of news about the lawsuit and
there are so many I don't even bother looking anymore (laughs). Luckily,
all the important stuff are usually highlighted on other fan blogs (hehe)
so lucky me gets to read the main points instead of going through a few
billion words.

So this is what I found that made me kind of want to... strangle someone.



This is from an SM Representative: "During these times, all these talks
about unfair contracts, human rights, slave contracts and what nots are all started because of the Cosmetic business and the greed for money. 
In all 5 years, Dong Bang Shin Ki and SM's relationship have been the
most trusted and close relationship out of everyone else, like a brotherly relationship. But ever since those three members started the Cosmetic
business, their wants and requests became more and wanted to have
their own way of business. So they did what they wanted, not through
the company, but by themselves. From that moment, the three members and SM started to have disagreements and rumours started coming
out. Slowly, the relationship between all five members and the
company became different."

"By doing all this, those three members have betrayed and destroyed
Dong Bang Shin Ki and the company's hard work, trust, relationship and everything, only caring about their Cosmetic business and the money
that they can get from it. For money and benefits, they have first broken
the contract and then proceed to recieving the fundings."



I have nothing to conclude.

[EDIT]




I don't know what the heck to say anymore. A quick translation from baidu:


"We are Dong Bang Shin Ki's Jung Yunho, Shim Changmin"
"After the three members applied for the lawsuit, towards why the
situation has become like this, we have recieved a lot of questions"


"Just seems like after the three's cosmetic business started,
everything started to change"

"Towards the whole situation, we aren't very clear, but using our
common sense, if the cosmetic company wanted to use Dong Bang
Shin Ki's name for their products, they should first let us and our
company, SM, know about it beforehand."


"But because this company has not said or asked anything to our
company and have used other ways to use our members to further
initialise the cosmetic business, it seems like problems are bound
to happen. As the situation is like that, both of us have no way to
 participate."


This-- sigh. I'm worried.

(I'm also a new co-author at sweetfig so I'm not stealing posts from them
just in case anyone sees (almost exactly) the same posts ^^)
