[ENGLISH TRANS]

Today snow is shining all over the world
Everyday, excited and waiting for the first snow
Heaven has given me the most precious gift
More precious than my white star

Waking up early in the morning to the sound of the bell ringing
I’ve been waiting anxiously to meet you
Finding a way to go to meet you
Loving the memories of us

White snow is piled up without sound
Pacing the streets more footsteps pound
I would flutter more

That day I had been dreaming everyday OH
Today
Oh so I came

You and me holding hands, walking down the street
Memories spent with staring and laughing
You always cuddle up to me
Could not say
Today my heart wants to say I love you

Snuggling under the street lamp that illuminates
Your reflection in the transparent-like glass crystal
Little hands in your pocket
Your cheeks stained red
baby

Flow as a city full of white
Is singing
Sounds over the hearts of the people come and go
I would smile at night

Nice and anywhere with me OH
Oh you to hug me

You and me holding hands, walking down the street
Memories spent with staring and laughing
Your innocent smile like a child
Oh I’ll protect you forever

We walked down the street, holding hands,
facing each other again
We created the memories one by one with you

Even if there are times when you get tired sometimes frightened
Do not forget
I’ll be here for you always like today

Forever by your side

This song for you

Newly Discovered Mozart Piece Performed

Dedicated to Our Xiahzart.

Associated Press 

Newly discovered Mozart piece performed

VIENNA (AP) — A piano work experts attribute to Mozart as a child prodigy was performed for the first time Friday since it was found last year after apparently being left in an attic for centuries.

The lively 84-bar passage — marked “allegro molto,” or “very quick” — was played Friday on the composer’s piano in a room of his Salzburg home by virtuoso Florian Birsak.

The Mozarteum Salzburg Foundation, which staged the event, said the manuscript was found last summer as part of a 160-page book of handwritten piano music as the musty attic of a house in Tyrol was being cleared from centuries of detritus.

Part of a collection of notes from a village music teacher, the book was dated 1780 — 24 years after Mozart was born — and the manuscript played Friday bore the name “Del Signore Giovane Wolfgango Mozart,” Italian for “Mr. Wolfgang Mozart Jr.”

Musicologist Hildegard Hermann-Schneider, who traced the composition to Mozart, said the fact that other pieces in the book were known works by Mozart’s father, Leopold, strengthened the case that the work was genuine. As well, Leopold Mozart often used “Wolfgango” when labeling works written by his young son, she said.

From the style of the composition, Hermann-Schneider attributed it to Mozart at around the age of 11.

The piece exhibits “a series of components that are found repeatedly in other Mozart piano works,” said the Mozarteum in a statement. “Judging by the current level of knowledge, it thus has to be a genuine sonata phrase from Mozart.”

Pianist Florian Birsack, Beate Palrader, member of the provincial government of Tyrol, Music scholar Hildegard Herrmann-Schneider and Urlich Leisinger, leader of the of the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg present sheets of music, recently identified as a composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, during a press conference held by the research department of the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, Austria, Friday, March 23, 2012. The previously unknown piano piece from Mozart was discovered in Tyrol in Austria. The Mozart Foundation in Salzburg says that the piece was found in a hand written music book from 1780.

[NEWS] Still coping with father’s death, Yoochun to return to work?

[NEWS] Still coping with father’s death, Yoochun to return to work?

It seems that JYJ‘s Park Yoochun who is still broken hearted over the recent death of his father will be returning to work even before his tears have had a chance to dry.

According to a broadcast insider, Yoochun will be heading over to the set of his new SBS drama ‘Rooftop Prince‘ after his father’s burial on March 16th.

Until now, the ’Rooftop Prince’ staff members have planned their filming schedule around JYJ’s Chile and Peru concerts, but they did not expect the sudden passing of his father.

Because Yoochun plays a leading role in the series and ‘Rooftop Prince’ is set to broadcast its first episode on the 21st, the situation cannot be helped and it will be difficult for the staff to allow any delays.

A staff member remarked, “Yoochun’s representatives have been told of the circumstances. He must be both physically and mentally drained, and everyone sees this as an unfortunate event.”

‘Rooftop Prince’ is a romance story that spans 300 years. The first episode will air on March 21st.

“Their” rooms versus “Our” rooms. He…

“Their” rooms versus “Our” rooms. Hehe. I couldn’t resist.
But seriously, I wish Twitter would allow direct messaging to someone who isn’t following you…however, the problem of contacting JYJ personally would be the same as it is now.
More’s the pity.
I just want to encourage Jaejoong, but I don’t know if he sees what I send him.
Ah, well.
