[TRANS] 111218 “Water Supply Cuts”, “JYJ”, “Ganbappe!” Are Top Keyword Searches Of The Year For Ibaraki
Posted on December 18, 2011 by TheRarasaurus

Yahoo! Japan (Tokyo) revealed that one week after the Tohoku Earthquake (11-17 March) the fastest rising internet search keywords, in the case of Ibaraki, was related to lifelines. Also, the Japanese representatives of one of the biggest search online search engines, America’s Google, too said that for Ibaraki, the top “Fastest Rising Search Keyword” (Words that suddenly rose in the search rankings) was related to “Hallyu.” These are the keywords of Ibaraki for the year.

Yahoo! Japan revealed in the “2011 Searchword rankings,” the fastest rising keyword searches that occured a week after the Tohoku Earthquake for each prefecture.

Within the Ibaraki prefecture, the top 5 search words starting from “Tsukuba City Water Cuts” at no.1 were all lifeline related words. Despite the destruction by the earthquake, it was understood that the Southern areas of the prefecture were still able to connect to the internet and clocked a large number of searches.

Also, in Google’s annual search rankings, the words that rose the quickest in ranks compared to the year before, for Ibaraki, were “JYJ Live.” JYJ is a Korean idol group, and made out of 3 former Tohoshinki members. In October, they held Lives at Kokuei Hitachi Kaihin Koen (Hitachinaka City) and search numbers increased mainly due to the Hallyu fans.

In relation to the Tohoku Earthquakes, the no.2 Keyword was a project started by local volunteers, the “Ganbappe! Ibaraki Project.” No. 3 and 4 were related to “B-Grade Gourmet” and at no. 5 were topics about the “strange” nature of having internet among the devastation in the prefecture.

The company also said that in this year’s prefectural rankings, aside from the 3 affected prefectures in Tohoku (Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima) the other 44 prefectures’ ranked keywords were primarily about tourism, sports and entertainment.

I believe that the story of the beginning of DBSK/TVXQ/TVXQ5 needs to be reviewed periodically so that there is clarity for those new to DBSK/TVXQ and JYJ.

[Trans] 111213 Yunho Splatters Milk On Changmin, Pushes Blame To Milk Tea Shakers

 After anticipating for 3 years, Korean band TVXQ held their fan party at Taiwan. Fans were still as passionate although the group was left with only Yunho and Changmin performing on stage.

Yunho started doing some tricks as the duo were on stage shaking bubble tea, accidentally causing some milk to be splattered onto Changmin.

The duo complimented each other on being manlier during the 3 years. Changmin appeared on stage in a deep V suit, displaying his chest lines. Yunho said shyly, “recently, many people have said that my expressions have become deeper.” The host then asked him to electrify fans with his eyes, causing fans to scream, and Changmin said jokingly, “my liver conditions have improved.”

 The both of them loves drinking Taiwan’s bubble milk tea, hence the organisers arranged for the duo to shake “double Q milk tea”, signifying that with the “mixing” of Yunho and Changmin, the duo has gained better rapport.

As Yunho tried to do some tricks with the shaking of the milk tea, he accidentally splattered some milk tea onto Changmin; after which, he said jokingly that the shakers were a defect when he couldn’t open the cover. Even then, having a sweet tooth, he still drank up the milk tea in big gulps.

TVXQ continued activities as a duo, and Yunho and Changmin have performances practices during Christmas, Changmin said, “I will listen to Christmas carols back home.” As fans were worried that he might be lonely, he said jokingly, “ah…life.”

111215 Happy 25th Birthday To Kim Junsu from Momma Cha

Posted on by

Hi Junsu.

You may never see this post, but it is my desire to express to you how much I appreciate you on your birthday. What is it about you that endears you to my heart like a family member? There are many things–the way that you laugh for one. Your laughter is so contagious, and I love to watch it start in your eyes and travel through your entire body. You make me laugh with you, and there are times when I truly need a good laugh.

I love to hear you sing. Yes, you’ve heard this before, but believe me June, your singing is  unique. Your vocal tones range from piano to forte; from legato to tinny. Yes, you can be tinny, but it is such a wonderful sound that it can capture my attention in the midst of all the other voices on the palette. I really cannot describe your vocals fully with the musical vocabulary that I possess. I can only close my eyes and let them play.

I enjoy the athletic side of you. You are a wonderful dancer. I am a person who loves to move and dance; take a hike –or at least a good, long walk. I was so thrilled to realize that you and the members had climbed the mountain. I want you to take care of yourself, but part of that is staying physically fit. I didn’t have an interest in soccer until I became aware of your team. Now it is something to watch and pursue.

I simply love your “humanitarianism”   🙂  You were describing your red-faced demeanor while gaming, but I define your ‘humanitarianism’ as helping others less fortunate than yourself–whether it is building houses for needy families to planting trees et al. One of my favorite pictures of you is the “Happy Energy” picture. The smile in your eyes seems to reach out from your soul. I know that some of the charities that you participate in are joint ventures, but I see the tender part of your spirit that desires to give. Adoption is a part of you.

I love the fact that you still cling to church and family. Family is so important in life, and when you possess a wonderful family such your own I ask you to treasure it with all of your heart. Church is also important because it is a place of sanctuary from all of the evil, mean things that life can throw at you. It is somewhere to go where you know that you will be loved and nurtured.

Last, but not least, I admire you as an actor. You have enormous potential in this field, especially stage acting. You have always been able to command a stage, and you have the ability to separate yourself from the role once you exit the stage. Choose your roles wisely and you will secure a future for yourself and your posterity.

 

Happy Birthday Junsu. I pray that you will have so many more wonderful celebrations. You are a private individual, and I thank you for those parts of you that you choose to reveal to us. That is our gift from You on this Christmas Season. Merry Christmas and Have a Wonderful New Year.

[TRANS] 111211 JYJ Kim Jaejoong, China Solo Fan Meeting Concludes Successfully! 1,000 Fans Show Their Support Outside The Location

JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong has once again displayed his long-standing popularity.

On 10 December, Kim Jaejoong held his solo fan meeting at the Shanghai International Gymnastics Center. This fan meeting was organized to thank the fans for their show of love for the SBS drama “Protect the Boss,” and all 4,000 seats for this event were snapped up once ticketing opened, showing the high interest level for this event.

Kim Jaejoong arrived in China via Shanghai’s Hongqiao Airport, and made formal preparations for his fan meeting. This day, over 1,000 fans were gathered to welcome him at the airport, and on the day of the fan meeting itself, not only the 4,000 ticket holders, but about 1,000 fans who were unable to purchase tickets were gathered outside the event location to show their support, and his (Jaejoong’s) popularity could be visibly felt.

At the fan meeting. Kim Jaejoong revealed the behind-the-scene episodes that happened during his appearance in “Protect the Boss,” and also sang the drama OST song that he wrote, “I’ll Protect You.” Aside from this, there was a question and answer session where he selected and replied to questions that had been hand-written by the fans, and he personally made phone calls to fans which were selected by ballot. He also played “cham cham cham” at the event, with all games receiving a great response from the fans.

He said, “I know that there are many people who support me in China. I know that I can’t come here very often, and this is something that I always feel sorry about. However, having come here after a long while, I’m really thankful for the unchanging, passionate love that I have been given. In the future, I will work hard to become an even better actor, and a more charming singer.”

Management company C-JeS said, “Due to Kim Jaejoong’s popularity, “Protect the Boss” has done shockingly well in terms of overseas sales. Aside from China, many other parts of the world have been requesting for interviews and promotional activities.”

The organizer of this fanmeeting said, “Chinese fans did not watch the local broadcast (of “Protect the Boss”) but watched the drama online using SBS’s real time stream, their passion (for the show) evident. Prior to this, Kim Jaejoong was already very popular, and with the charm of his role as “Cha Mu Won,” his popularity exploded. We were surprised that over 1,000 fans who weren’t able to purchase tickets stood outside the location in the freezing cold to show their support.”
