Tohoshinki, who are currently holding their nation-wide tour “Tohoshinki LIVE TOUR 2012 ~TONE~”, with 26 concerts in 11 venues, held a free live viewing of the Fukui Sundome concert on 10 March (Saturday) for the residents of three areas in the Tohoku region which were hit by the disaster.

A year since the Tohoku Earthquake, in which many Tohoshinki fans were also affected by, these live viewings were decided as (Tohoshinki) wanted to bring smiles and strength to the victims of this disaster, even if it was just one person.

The live viewings were held at 5 cinemas in the Iwate Prefecture, Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture. 2000 people from these three prefectures, including fanclub members residing there and students in the disaster areas, were invited to the viewings for free.

The duo shouted, “Everyone in the Tohoku region, let’s get excited together!”, and showcased powerful stages including their new single “Still”, which will be released on 14 March, as well as “The Way U Are”, which was specially prepared for this day. During the encore, they had happy expressions on their faces as they said, “I feel deeply connected to everyone in the Tohoku region,” and “We would be happy if today’s live managed to bring you laughter, no matter how little,” captivating over 17,000 audiences over the 2 days.

At the cinemas, red penlights were distributed to the viewers as they entered and they enjoyed the concert, singing and waving their penlights along with the songs.

Personal Note: 120312 Condolences Extended To Shim Changmin

Condolences To Shim Changmin and His Family on The Passing of His Grandmother

On March 11th, 2012, Shim Changmin’s grandmother passed away. We are very sad because we know that Changmin dearly loved his grandmother. Changmin arrived in Korea without Yunho to be with his family at this time of mourning. Our prayers are with Changmin and his family at this time of bereavement. The Cassiopeia fanbase has adopted the hashtag #STAYSTONGCHANGMIN as they sponsor a twitter campaign.
JYJFANTALK extends our sincere condolences to Changmin and his family and give them our highest respect at this time of loss.

Editors Note: A Year Has Passed Since The Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami

Japan’s earthquake and tsunami that rocked the world in 2011 doesn’t seem a full year ago does it? The tsunami still seems close because there are so many reminders around that it actually occurred. There are nuclear summit talks, charity events for victims, and rebuilding of stricken areas as an ongoing project. The tsunami will figure forever in the saga of JYJ’s struggle to stay above the water and to conquer the water through 2011. Not only did the tsunami aftermath effects bow to the concerted efforts of people around the world–but the industry that has tried and is still trying to drag JYJ down has had to bow to the ultimate realization that they are survivors. This is partly due to the utter talent and tenacity of JYJ, and the ingenuity and tenacity of JYJ’s true fans.

It is so easy to sing and dance along with a thriving group like TVXQ was before 2010. It takes more courage to survive a splintered group situation with your heart and loyalties intact. I am happy and proud to say that not only have we survived, but there are those of us who have enough love, passion, and compassion in our hearts to still embrace all five of these truly special young men.

The tsunami taught the world how to give and pull together to rebuild and rethink a way of living. The split of TVXQ has prayerfully taught the world how to acknowledge, evaluate, and start to restructure the entertainment industry.

Dear Jaejoong, Yoochun, and Junsu. Please do not ever regret doing what you felt was necessary for your own happiness but also for the happiness of others. Yunho and Changmin–do not ever regret doing what you considered to be the best for you. We may not ever fully understand what happened, but the important thing is to forge ahead and make a history that may someday converge onto a path that includes all five once again. Until then, and because there is a hope of then, we keep Fighting and Keeping the Faith!!

Editors Note: Addendum To The Double-Sided Nature of Fandom…

Where do I start? We all knew that the Chileans [and soon Peruvians] were going to be passionate. That was a given. We also knew that Jaejoong was going to be the main target. After all, he was voted the sexiest man in the world, right? or something thereabouts… 🙂  Even with that knowledge I don’t believe that JYJ and their staff were prepared for the airport debacle that just occurred. I gathered from reading accounts and watching the videos that there were flashmob dances and a warm reception planned for our Guys. Obviously, something went wrong–and instead of a warm welcome, JYJ received a hot mobbing. I am thankful for those fans, staff, and reporters who leaped to the rescue, and I understand that some were hurt in the process. Beyond Monica was there and tried to help as well. Our Guys were man-handled and that is why I am writing this addendum.
BTW, why didn’t the airport security help? The situation with TVXQ’s Yunho having to quiet and direct the fans was due to insufficient participation by the airport security. But I digress…

All of the controversy about JYJ being abused by fans is reflected in what has just occurred and has been happening on an escalating scale for 8 years. I am very grateful that this has come to everyone’s attention, because it is time for the fandom and the world to realize how devastating and demoralizing this type of behavior can be to JYJ, TVXQ, and other groups. I have read that Shinee’s fans can be quite rambunctious.

How do you point the blame for emotional outbursts only on the artists? Admittedly, they have to exercise self-control as much as possible because the fans are their livelihood and you never want to abuse anyone. They put up with this type of behavior day after day, year after year, and no one expects them to occasionally lose it? That is totally unrealistic. They are chased by sa-saengs(privates)in cabs, by the Paparazzi, and it is reported that approximately 150 sa-saengs are on their trail each day. I personally do not see how they have not gone completely insane. I believe that it is the knowledge that we are there praying for them and supporting them, along with their own families and friends providing support that help them to stay stable.

Now I know why Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun are so close, as are Yunho and Changmin. It is survival. They all share experiences either collectively or individually that would boggle your mind. These experiences encompass not just fans who do not understand limitations, but also (as we are all aware)the companies they work for.

I commend you, JYJ, TVXQ, et al. You have excellent self-management tools that you have had to develop over the years. All I ask is that you continue to communicate when you are so stressed that you are afraid that you will lose it. Don’t disguise it; speak to us frankly. We cannot help you if we do not know the facts. Lots of love. Momma Cha

Apart from including the residents of the relevant districts, this event will also see students being invited to the live broadcast of Tohoshinki’s concert for its Japanese nationwide tour on March 10.

[News] 120223 Despite Blizzard, 2,000 Fans Gather To See TVXQ in Japan

[News] 120223 Despite blizzard, 2,000 fans gather to see TVXQ in Japan

A heavy blizzard did not deter Japanese fans from seeing their favorite K-pop stars perform.

Popular idol group TVXQ continued their national Japan tour by performing at the Niigata Toki Messe on February 18th.

Heavy snow has been falling in the Niigata area since January, causing the airports to shut down and even taking the lives of 50 citizens.

Without fail, the snow came down hard on February 18th, the day of TVXQ’s performance. Despite the dangerous weather, 2,000 fans stood outside the venue since the early hours of the morning waiting for the performance to begin.

 More fans arrived as the merchandise began selling at around 1:00PM, and all the goods sold out within an hour of going on sale, setting a new record.

By the time TVXQ wraps up their Japan tour around April, they will have put on 26 performances in 11 different cities including Hiroshima, Osaka, Saitama, Tokyo, and more.

TVXQ will have performed in front of an estimated number of 550,000 total fans by the time the tour comes to an end, making it the single greatest tour TVXQ has ever put on.

At the awards ceremony on this day, the awards were divided into the “monthly digital sales” category and the “quarterly album sales” category.

TVXQ’s “Why” has created a record of having sold approximately 235,669 copies.

Meanwhile, this year’s inaugural Gaon K-Pop Awards makes use of the total calculation of the digital music sales and physical album sales over the past year on the Gaon Charts, an officially-recognized music chart in Korea, as a fair judging criteria to select its award winners.

Music Video of TVXQ’s New Single Has Been Completed and Partially Revealed

Music Video of TVXQ’s New Single Has Been Completed and Partially Revealed

By CTVXQ Staff_IRENE_KIDMAN

The music video of Tohoshinki’s new single “Still” (to be released on Wednesday, March 14th) has been completed and partially revealed.The concept of this music video is to express “the feeling towards a person already gone”, ” sorrowfulness”, “loneliness & fidgetiness”. In the beginning of the video, the duo carried out few acts expressing sadness, which became precious clips showing Yunho and Changmin’s charismas as actors.

The music video was filmed for one whole day in a studio located in Tokyo city at the end of January, in between their concert tour lives. Although an idea of location shooting was also proposed originally, there were concerns about the possibilities of bringing chaos to the shooting site. Therefore, the filming team eventually decided to build the stage sets, including a coffee shop, in the studio.

In a scene of walking on the street, the treadmills were used for shooting. By changing the directions of the treadmills for several times, it attempted to express an even stronger feeling of loneliness on a noisy street.

The comments from the members themselves are as follows.

” It conveys the feeling of loneliness by the scene in which there we are sitting alone in the coffee shop with a glass window facing the street that lots of people are walking on, or the scene that we are standing alone but there are many people walking around us. ” (Changmin)

” The highlight is the singing scene with sorrowful facial expressions while looking into the camera. I think it would be quite touching, as we also feel kind of embarrassed when we watch it ourselves.(laugh) ” (Yunho)
