Translation 120106 TVXQ Next Goal is a 5-Dome Tour and a World Tour…

[TRANS] 120106 Tohoshinki, Their Next Goal Is A 5-Dome Tour And A World Tour – Interview With Sanspo
Jan 8, 2012 Written by jugglingtheclouds

It seems like just yesterday when we conducted this interview at a recording office in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo. In between their schedules that are packed back-to-back, we (still) got to witness the duo’s hearty laughter.

The single “Why? (Keep Your Head Down)” released last January attained 1st place (on the Oricon charts), their new album “TONE” has sold more that 450,000 copies, a highest record so far for the unit. From an Excellence Award in the (Japan) Record Awards, to quickly making an appearance on the Kouhaku (Utagassen), it seems like nothing can stop them.

In order to thank the fans, performances at the Tokyo Dome on 14 and 15 April, 2 years since their last, and their first independent performances at the Kyocera Dome Osaka, on 21 and 22 April, have been decided upon. The tour, which will have 24 performances across 11 cities, and is expected to draw a crowd of apporximately 450,000. It will be the largest-scale (tour) the unit has had thus far.

Yunho: I think the Tokyo Dome performance will be a turning point which will allow us to mature. It’s a place with memories, so we’re happy to be able to stand on that stage again. If the opportunity arises we’d like to do a 5-dome tour. (T/N: The 5 major domes in Japan; Tokyo Dome, Kyocera Dome Osaka, Nagoya Dome, Fukuoka Dome and Sapporo Dome)

They also performed in “SM TOWN” in Europe and America, including Paris and New York, and (created) much excitement at the “homegrounds” of entertainment/pop culture.

Changmin: (Seeing fans who) remember our songs made me feel very happy. If the opportunity arises, I’d like to do an overseas tour as well.

Having been 7 years since their debut in Japan, their next goal is?

Yunho: I think it’s important to showcase ourselves not only as Yunho and Changmin of Tohoshinki, but also as actors “Jung Yunho” and “Shim Changmin”. I’d hope for us to show more of our other charms, and to become artists who can bring courage and hope to people. Since this is the year of the dragon, everyone, let’s strive forward and soar like the dragon together with Tohoshinki.

“From Asia to the World.” These humbly spoken words were overflowing with their unwavering confidence.

120105 Personal Note

It is getting more and prevalent to see fraud of this type appearing not only in the headlines but also in our personal lives. There are some who view society as a means of obtaining a living at the expense of others. Sadly, this may happen again, but I am grateful that this was caught before more damage was done and I am sure that JYJ and C-Jes are thinking the same.

 

[TRANS] 12014 C-Jes–Notice Regarding “Tohoku Earthquake 1st Year Anniversary Charity Party +[TRANS] 120105 Popular Group JYJ, “Will Not Be Appearing At Disaster Relief Event” — Tickets Already Sold At High Prices, Calls Of “Fraud”

[TRANS] 120104 C-JeS – Notice Regarding “Tohoku Earthquake 1st Year Anniversary Charity Party” by Juggling The Clouds

Hello.
This is C-JeS Entertainment.

An advertisement was recently published in the Nikkei newspaper stating that JYJ would be attending the “Tohoku Earthquake 1st Year Anniversary Charity Party” organised by the “Earth Project Kizuna Committee”.

C-JeS Entertainment has no agreement nor ties with organisers of the above-mentioned events, and the contents reported were carried out unilaterally from (the organiser’s) side.

Also, in relation to this incident, we have requested, through the media that published the advertisement, for the agency involved (Earth Project Kizuna Committee) to make corrections to the content of the advertisement. However, a correction report has not be published from the day the advertisement was published till now, hence our notice on this matter. We seek your understanding on this issue.

JYJ will not be attending the “Tohoku Earthquake 1st Year Anniversary Charity Party”.

Please take careful note, so that no harm is done to any of the fans involved.

Thank you.

TRANS] 120105 Popular Group JYJ, “Will Not Be Appearing At Disaster Relief Event” — Tickets Already Sold At High Prices, Calls Of “Fraud” by Therarasaurus   Jan 5, 2012

(T/N: Before you freak out, please understand that this is most likely a case of fraud, which means that JYJ’s name was just abused in this situation)

In relation to the “Tohoku Earthquake 1st Year Anniversary Charity Party” which advertised in the Nikkei newspapers that “Popular Korean group JYJ will be appearing,” JYJ’s management company C-JeS Entertainment announced on 4 January that “JYJ will not be appearing at this event.”

JYJ consists of 3 of the 5 members in the popular Korean group Tohoshinki. Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu left the group in 2009, and (JYJ) has been popular not only in Japan and Korea but in other countries as well.

The event organizers “Earth Project Kizuna Committee” advertised on the evening edition of the Nikkei newspaper on 22 December 2011 that “A Tohoku Earthquake 1st Year Anniversary Charity Party will be held on 21 March, and JYJ will be performing.”

In the advertisement, the event’s price was 100,000yen for round table VIP seats , 50,000 yen for round table S seats and 30,000yen for standing-dining, high prices for a party. They have already started to accept payment, and it can be seen that quite a few fans have already paid for these tickets.

However, with the sudden revelation that JYJ, who were the key point of the party, were not appearing, fans have been crying out that, “This is a fraud” and “This is unforgivable” non-stop.

In this newspaper ad,

1) It was stated that this event was “Produced by : Tokyo International Music Secretariat Office” – A organization that doesn’t exist.
2) The event venue was stated as “A hotel within Tokyo” with the name not clearly specified.
3) The contact email address (“Nifty”) was a personal address

and other “suspicious” details were included, and when the advertisement was first placed, many fans had voiced their suspicions.

Furthermore, the organizer “Earth Project Kizuna Committee’s” homepage (http://earthconcert-kizuna.com) has been locked down since the end of last year, and the contact number suspended, a situation where no one can be found.

It is unclear whether this event was meant to be a fraud right from the beginning, or if this “Earth Project Kizuna Committee” and JYJ’s management agency had prior discussions.

However, if customers who have already paid the money were to report this case to the police, it cannot be denied that criminal charges will possibly be pressed, and the confusion that surrounds this party continues.

[News] 120103 Average appearance of male idol stars, “Who is the handsomest idol?”

 

Pictures, which compare male idol stars’ appearances, were recently released and drew a lot of attention.

On January 3, an online community posted pictures with the caption, “Average appearance of male idol stars.” Each of the thirteen pictures represents each boy group’s appearance. A person, who uploaded the pictures, compounded the members’ faces of each group.

Pictures of Big Bang, 2PM, and FT Island look like the members of each group: Seungri, Jang Woo Young, and Lee Hong Ki.

People responded: “JYJ looks so handsome.” “This is why they are idol stars. The average appearances look handsome as well.” “The person who compounded thirteen members of Super Junior must have worked hard.”
