[Trans] 120119 Ex-Toho Dancer GEN-san’s Blog Updates

[Trans] 120119 Ex-Toho Dancer GEN-san’s Blog Updates

 

Tohoshinki LIVE TOUR 2012 ~TONE~

Today I went to the first day of Tohoshinki’s concert tour
together with KO & YU-KI.
Of course I won’t tell the details.
Oh, I really want to talk about it~!!

I first didn’t know
what kind of feeling I would have,
but the results were…

It was really fun!!
Who are the dancers?
Who are the band members?
Ha~san, who is running backstage!
The stage director ~-san!
The makeup artist ~san!
The stylist ~san!
The security guards!
We were all having such fun,
time passed by in a blink of an eye.

It was the first time that I objectively watched the stage.
It was really dazzling.
And I missed the stage a little bit…

It was because
I was together on stage with them all the time from the ZEPP stage
(T/N: 1st LIVE TOUR 2006 -Heart, Mind and Soul-).

As a professional dancer,
I was really trained by (working together with) their stages
Not only from the technical point of view, but the mental point,
how to approach to work
and also the atttidute.
I think that the current myself is here
because I had the experience of working together in their stages.
It was a while since I last met Yunho and Changmin,
and both members were much stronger and powerful than before.
But their smiles when they realized us
haven’t changed a bit.

Even though we do not exchange any words,
when we see their performance,
we can understand a lot of things.

The two were the best.
The encounter with wonderful artists
are the treasure for us dancers.
The new dancers all have wonderful talents,
and they should really improve more in the future.

I am so thankful that I was able to go and see them!!
Thank you very much!!

To the dancers, thank you for the letter and the stick light!!
The end flew away, since I was swinging it so much!!
I am praying so that there will be no serious injuries, and the TOUR will be a great success!!

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.

[Trans] 120102 [Special Power Interview ②] TVXQ, “If We Are Feeling Lonely…”

[Trans] 120102 [Special Power Interview ②] TVXQ, “If We Are Feeling Lonely…”

 

(T/N: Part 1 will be coming up soon…I’m sorry, this translator is slightly blind in the earlier parts of the day :P )

They have already passed the stage of trying to define each other, and now the presence of the other is just a natural existence.

Being able to chat with the two members of TVXQ, U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin is always an enjoyable thing. Always very cool and unreserved when talking about themselves, they are very much like their on-stage personalities, bold and unguarded.

When performing, their sweat is used to fill the stage, and when coming off stage the two youths smile as they return. Their “double-charm” is expected to continue this year.

Although we are familiar already with their on-stage images, how do they spend their time when they don’t have any activities? As expected, they have their own hobbies that they do during their free time.

Yunho : Recently it’s been really cold in winter, and I enjoy snowboarding. I also like watching movies. I like the feeling of peacefulness when watching and enjoying a movie.

 

Changmin : I like hiking or strolling around, and I like watching movies, musicals and performances.

There seems to be many moments where they would feel alone. Everyone has a different way to overcoming loneliness. When asked about how they overcome loneliness, the two men of TVXQ smiled a little.

Yunho : There are times that I feel lonely. When I’m done with all my schedules and get home, and planning to lie down on my bed, I sometimes get lonely. If I am unable to fall asleep, I read books. I slowly started to like reading, so I’m trying very hard to read lots of books. It seems like it helps me to improve on my flaws, and also allows me to widen my range of thinking.

Changmin :  I’m the kind that gets lonely often. To overcome this, I listen to music and watch funny variety shows to make myself laugh.

Walking together on the same path like this, the two men have spent many precious moments together. To each other, the presence of the other person is more precious than anyone else. And like this, the two men must understand each other quite well.

Yunho : Changmin may be the younger brother, but be it work or on a normal basis, he always has a very calm side. He is the kind of friend who speaks more through actions than words.

Changmin : Yunho is the type who gets things done once he sets his mind on it. He is the type that is exceptionally motivated. I feel that this is his strong point, and something that I should learn. Also, when working, he will always maintain a professional attitude, and this is also another of his good points.

TVXQ’s unique fashion sense is also very famous. Their airport fashion, in particular, is often something that is noticed by the fans. However, their airport fashion gaining too much attention has become a burden.

Yunho : Fashion is one of the ways to express yourself. As a singer, you often show a powerful look on stage, but airport fashion shows a more casual and relaxed side, and is expressed through many styles. The airport fashion may be a burden, but compared to being a conscious dresser, I prefer to dress according to my own opinions, and it’s good that people like it.

Changmin : To me, Fashion is something that creates a character and image, and the way for you to express yourself. Airport fashion is actually quite a burden. (Laughs)

If one were to be able to gain the love of these two cool men, that would be such a great fortune. Let’s take a look at what types these two men like.

Yunho : If we’re judging by appearances, I like girls with long, straight hair and big eyes. In terms of artists, it would be Jeon Ji-hyun, as I have mentioned many times before. I like the type from the movie “My Sassy Girl.”

Changmin : Someone who is like the Japanese actress Takeuchi Yuko would be my preferred type.

In the new year, both men have different goals. This year, aside from Korea which is a given, you will see a TVXQ which is more active on a global scale.

Yunho : I hope to have an even happier and more meaningful year. Just like how we have been working hard in preparation so far, next year I want to be like a dragon and soar to the skies for all matters, and I will work my hardest.

Changmin :  I happen to be born in 1988, which is also the year of the dragon.It would be great if there were many good things that happen this year. Personally, I would like to train myself harder, and it would be good if this is a year in which I can progress.

Every New Year, SBS Entertainment News will see an overhaul. To express our determination, and thanks to the support of the passionate TVXQ, we seem to be off to a great start. We hope that everyone can have a happy New Year together with SBS Entertainment News.

Yunho : We hope that you can deliver news in a great way, especially good news. As this is the year of the dragon, we hope that it is a year which you can soar. I, Yunho will work hard together with SBS Entertainment News, to make it a year where we can bring more smiles to everyone.

Changmin : This new year is the year of the dragon, so it would be great if SBS Entertainment News can soar to the skies like a dragon, and gain a lot of love. From now on, please deliver lots of great news and rich content, we will be supporting you! Fighting!!”
