[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.

[Trans] 111212 TVXQ Takes Time Out For Fan Boys, Accepting Their Declaration Of Love

[Trans] 111212 TVXQ Takes Time Out For Fan Boys, Accepting Their Declaration Of Love

Photo Caption: The Pair of Cassiopeia brothers Chen Hao Zhong (left) and Chen Yi Guang, who supports TVXQ and JYJ.

At TVXQ’s fanparty in Taiwan, fan boys were in for a treat; TVXQ had especially taken time out of their schedule, to allow approximately 30 fans to openly declare their love for Yunho and Changmin. They shouted “I love you!” loud to the duo on stage; there were even some worked up fans that kept screaming Changmin’s name, causing Changmin to reply, “I can feel goose bumps already!”

According to a research in Korea, only 3.25% of the 800,000 Cassiopeia are male fans, and some of them went to the fan party. Yunho said, “Sometimes when I suddenly hear deep male voices saying ‘I love you’ I’ll always get a shock.” Changmin said, “Actually it’s not easy for guys to express love to another guy, I’m really thankful for the love of male Cassiopeia.”

Among fans, there were a pair of brothers Chen Hao Zhong (20) and Chen Yi Guang (18), who came to the fan party with their parents and sister. The family of 5 are hard core fans, and they screamed much for TVXQ. They expressed that they love TVXQ and JYJ, hence their entire family usually switch fan identities: when JYJ came in April, they were JYJ fans, during these 2 days when TVXQ came, they were loyal fans of them. The brothers were asked if liking TVXQ 8 years ago caused any conflicts, and they replied, much to many fans’ anticipation, “I believe the 5 members in TVXQ will come back together.”

[Trans] 111130 JYJ Become “Sold-Out Boys”…. 70,000 Copies Of Remix Special Edition Sold Out

[Trans] 111130 JYJ Become “Sold-Out Boys”…. 70,000 Copies Of Remix Special Edition Sold Out

Group JYJ’s special edition album has sold out at 70,000 copies.

On 30 November, JYJ’s management company C-JeS revealed that “JYJ’s first Korean album released in September, recorded 250,000 copies in sales despite the broadcast restrictions, a proof of their burning popularity. To express their gratitude towards the fans, JYJ released a special edition album which included a MV DVD and remix versions, and this (special edition album) is currently sold out at 70,000 copies.”

This Special Edition album includes remix versions of the two songs that have been greatly loved by fans across the world during their worldwide concerts, “Get Out” and “In Heaven.” The trendy electronic mix for Get Out was co-produced by DJ Fractal, who had previously worked with Seo Taiji.

As for the ballad “In Heaven” which leaves a deep impression of people with its 3-member harmony, it uses an acoustic guitar sound as its focal point, blending the unique softness of pop ballads together with powerful rock elements.

JYJ said, “As these are songs that we wrote ourselves, the remix versions are even more special.This year, be it those who hope to have a sensitive, delicate year-end, or those who are at a party with their friends, we hope that everyone can enjoy the remixed songs comfortably, and with our new music, spend a warm winter together with your loved ones. “

C-JeS said, “The “In Heaven” Special Edition which was released last week was sold out from its release, and requests from fans who have not been able to purchase the album have been pouring in. As this is a special edition album and not an actual album, having a situation of such a high level of demand is extraordinary in the music industry. To thank the fans for their never-ending support, we will continue to use various opportunities to give back to the fans for their love.”

JYJ’s remixed tracks will be released on Melon, Dosirak, Bugs, Cyworld and other key music distribution sites on 1 December.

[Translation] 111116 JYJ for Happy Energy

[Trans] 111116 JYJ for Happy Energy

“Love will come back”
Jaejoong: JYJ’s happy energy, I would say, is the boomerang of love. The dramas that we act in, the albums that we create and release, these are all things that we have put all our efforts into. So with all these things, if the fans watch, listen, enjoy, and give us their love, we gain our strength from them. We then combine the strength that we gain and show our fans an even better side of us. I feel this is like a boomerang. If we give love, we will receive love in return. It’s like a boomerang.

“Straight to the age of 60″
Jaejoong: JYJ’s sharing will continue until the age of 60. The reason for this is because after the age of 60 we should also be receiving some of this “sharing” right? (laugh) For JYJ, the practice of sharing is very important to us. Even though we also have tough times due to various circumstances. And in those times, we receive strength from so many people that give us empowering words, that’s why we want to give support too. Because we are in the process of taking the strength we received and turning it into a good outcome, so we want to share our love with more people.

“We were like that too”
Jaejoong: There are books that are written with the structure of a fairytale, and there are books like “Talmud” that are like a fairytale. Books that give us so many lessons to learn from. The lessons that are always with us in our minds and that we feel we should practice, I think all of these lessons are embedded in fairytales. In regards to music, there are so many forms of good music aren’t there? Besides music, there are also the real sounds of nature aren’t there? What we consider noisy sounds, if we concentrated on them one by one like the sounds of an insect or the quiet voices of conversation, I think these little experiences would be good for kids.

“Thoughts about “giving”
Junsu: The people we want to help are kids. Ins’t education the most important thing for children? But with education, I think learning from daily from experiences is more important. Regardless, the kids from family with poor conditions have a greater probability of not being able to grow up under a good educational environment. For those that can also thrive later on, I want to give them nourishment as a present.

3 gifts
Yoochun: We have prepared a love collection for everyone. Jaejoong hyung chose a book he has read, here’s the signature. I brought a passport case I used before. Junsu’s is a jersey. The jersey Junsu wore when he played soccer. “Did you have a game yesterday?”
Junsu: “Only a practice”
Yoochun: “Practice right? It’s still wet.”
Junsu: “I couldn’t wash it”
Yoochun: Because this jersey really is very hard to find, everyone please pay a lot of attention to it.
Yoochun: Ya, did you really not wash it?
Junsu: I didn’t wash it!
Yoochun: Didn’t do it
Junsu: Didn’t do it

Sharing highkick is unstoppable
Yoochun:
If everyone can just devote a little more care, you can feel the feeling of satisfaction that you haven’t felt up until now.

Junsu: Our love and care can become the seed of hope for many people. If you want to feel happy regularly, then it would be good if we participate in this together.

Jaejoong: “Sharing” can be returned, I believe it is this way. If someone will be happy because of me, it will make me feel very satisfied. It would be wonderful if everyone can do a lot of sharing.

Jaejoong: it’s okay if I take one right? (takes mr bean thing)

[NEWS] JYJ’s European Tour, People Caught Between Feeling Wronged And Feeling Dissatisfied

[NEWS] JYJ’s European Tour, People Caught Between Feeling Wronged And Feeling Dissatisfied

[Reporter Park In Suk’s Pin Light]

Disputes have been breaking out online between those who are proud of JYJ and their first Spanish concert and those who are skeptic and dissatisfied. One side feels wronged to see JYJ’s achievements dismissed and diminished while the other side is dissatisfied with all the exaggeration. Though I understand where both sides are coming from, as someone who was there at the concert, I’d rather avoid the conflict entirely. There’s no need to exhaust oneself with such an argument.

This is only JYJ’s first step into the European market. Just like how they started from the ‘bottom’ again, on stages that were almost too embarrassing to be called an actual stage, in Japan as rookies after being hailed as stars in Korea. But they know that they must keep going forward, no matter how unsure they are of their future. And they are paving the road that they are pursuing with courage, a road which everyone else will just follow.

I won’t talk about the number of concert attendees as I’ve already written an article about that controversy. Whether there were a hundred people there or a million, people will only believe what they want. I can see where people are coming from when they raise controversies over the issue as they point out the empty areas behind the audience members in photos that were taken. It was because the organizers had people enter the concert venue in small numbers at a time (almost so slowly that it got boring to wait in line for so long) to ensure that there wouldn’t be any accidents.

This is justified as at the Manga Festival performance, a fan fell over while running towards the stage to get a better view (It should be noted that even after the nasty fall, she got up with no hesitation and started running for the stage again). It was surprising and almost touching to see blue-eyed Westerners showing the passion most characteristic of Korean fans. Shall I say that it was also different from watching Japanese fans, who are usually reserved and don’t dare to get too close to celebrities, cling onto their favorite Hallyu star. The enthusiasm at the concert was beyond anyone’s imagination (though I’d prefer to have found a different expression as I feel that this phrase is used too often that it’s lost its impact).

As soon as the concert ended, the members of JYJ said, “We feel somber.” There could be many meanings behind this statement. There isn’t much time for any of us to look back on what we’ve done till now, through the bitter and sweet times. For those like JYJ who have taken the time to reflect on themselves, they grow and mature that much more.

JYJ are getting ready for a concert in Germany this weekend. No matter what, a flood of controversies are sure to spring forth from this concert as well. But regardless of that fact, the fans will be ecstatic to be able to meet their favorite stars in real life, and they will express this joy to their hearts’ content. Like how they did in Spain. The members might feel somber again. But they will continue to move forward and think of their past experiences in a more positive and optimistic way. Just like how they spent all those days as rookies again in Japan.
