[TRANS] 130121 JYJ Look Back On The Last 1000 Days Through A Magazine, “We Didn’t Give Up. We’re Happy”

A magazine that details the last 1000 days of JYJ will be released in Korea and Japan at the same time.

On the 21st of January, C-JeS Entertainment stated, “The first edition of ‘The JYJ’, the interview magazine that commemorates the 1000th day since JYJ was created, will be released simultaneously in Korea and Japan. It contains records of their worldwide English album, their world tours, and their individual activities in musicals and dramas in chronological order.”

The magazine is set to be more meaningful as JYJ have concluded all legal battles that they had previously been engaged in as they came to an agreement with their former agency SM Entertainment last November and recently won their lawsuit against their Japanese agency AVEX.

A representative of C-JeS stated, “JYJ fought a long legal battle for three years against their unlawful contract. Not only have they won their freedom, but they have also provided their juniors with a better environment to pursue their activities in,” and “But because of unseen external forces, JYJ’s activities have been restricted and JYJ talked about their feelings about this in their interviews as they took the effort to find new challenges to take on instead of giving up or backing down.”

C-JeS’ CEO Baek Chang Joo stated, “For a long time, we have worked hard to walk down our own path, and we have changed obstacles into opportunities to widen the spectrums for each member, making them leaders of other K-POP stars as they have successfully completed two world tours and made their mark in the drama and musical industries,” and “We wanted to make a book that will be dedicated to the fans who have shown their love and support for the members, no matter how hard things got.”

The magazine ‘The JYJ’ was created through a total of 25 hours of interviews with the members, and will be a total of 139 pages with a special DVD. During their interviews, the members were said to have teared up as they talked about 2009, and all the people who gave them strength during those troubled times.

JYJ stated, “Though there have been hard times in the past 1000 days, we can say that we were truly happy. We worked harder than ever and though there were unexpected obstacles in our way, we were able to grow that much and learn. We wanted to share the story of the past 1000 days that were happy, from the moment we woke up till the moment we fell asleep.”

JYJ’s interview magazine ‘The JYJ – First edition, recording 1000 days’ will be released in Korea and Japan in early February and can be bought at the C-JeS store.

[TRANS] 130121 Kim Jaejoong’s First Solo Album Tops Hanteo’s Daily-Weekly-Real-Time Charts

[TRANS] 130121 Kim Jaejoong’s First Solo Album Tops Hanteo’s Daily-Weekly-Real-Time Charts

 

Kim Jaejoong’s first solo mini album ‘I’ has topped Hanteo Charts’ daily, real-time and weekly charts.

Kim Jaejoong’s solo mini album ‘I’ was released on the 17th and has ranked first on Hanteo’s daily charts for the past four days till the 20th, and has also topped the real-time and weekly charts. Though Hanteo’s weekly charts collects data on a weekly basis and the last week was from the 14th till the 20th, Kim Jaejoong was able to top the charts in a mere four days.

Though each track of ‘I’ fits within the rock genre, Kim Jaejoong has added his own style to them and enhanced their trendiness. With tracks like ‘One Kiss’ and ‘Mine’ that showcase an intense sound and charming vocal, as well as rock ballad tracks that emphasize his melodious voice, Kim Jaejoong’s album has been receiving positive reviews as a ‘high quality album’.

A representative stated, “The album has dominated the weekly, daily and real-time charts in five days. These are very surprising results. I think Kim Jaejoong’s unique musical color has fit perfectly with the musical niche that the public were hoping for.”

With an explosive response that doesn’t seem to simmer down, Kim Jaejoong will be performing the songs from his first album in his special concert ‘Your, My and Mine’. The concert, which will be held at the Ilsan KINTEX on the 26th and 27th, broke the record for the longest server crash and most overseas IP users at one time.

[TRANS] 130118 JYJ “Win Their Lawsuit Against AVEX” – Guaranteed Freedom In Their Japanese Activities

[TRANS] 130118 JYJ “Win Their Lawsuit Against AVEX” – Guaranteed Freedom In Their Japanese Activities

 

It has been found that JYJ have won their exclusive contract invalidity lawsuit against Japan’s biggest music management agency ‘AVEX’.

A representative of JYJ’s management agency C-JeS Entertainment stated, “At around 2pm, our Japanese legal representative gave us a short call to inform to us that we won the lawsuit,” and “They have stated that they will send us the detailed verdict and content of the lawsuit, so we will wait for that.”

JYJ’s fans are already busy sending their congratulations online. The rumor of, “The Courts made the verdict that Avex must pay JYJ 600 million Yen and can no longer block any future JYJ activities,” is spreading fast amongst fans. Regarding this, C-JeS stated, “We can’t confirm anything until we receive the full verdict.”

JYJ, who had also been locked in a legal battle with SM, signed an exclusive management contract with AVEX in February, 2010 for their Japanese activities. However, AVEX changed their attitudes completely in September, 2010 and conflict emerged between the two sides. AVEX suddenly began taking up an issue with the controversies surrounding JYJ’s representatives and announced that they would stop all activities. In October, they joined hands with SM Entertainment’s singers such as TVXQ and Super Junior and began supporting their activities.

JYJ and AVEX’s legal battle began in the early months of 2011. JYJ planned their own Japanese concert in Saitama, Japan as AVEX was no longer following through with their exclusive contract, but AVEX blocked the concert in a variety of ways.

In April, JYJ filed an activity hindrance prohibition injunction, as well as an exclusive contract invalidity lawsuit, and have been waiting for a verdict.

Editors Note: Whew! Is it Really Over?

While in the process of rejoicing over the resolution of JYJ’s lawsuit with SM, I think the fact that they still needed to find closure with Avex got downplayed a little? To be honest, I completely forgot that they were also in litigation with Avex over the charity concerts. Sorry Boys, no neglect intended 🙂

    I am so happy that this is also resolved. Our Guys deserve opportunities to go to Japan and to be able to perform there. Hopefully, this will release the iron band that still seems to surround JYJ. Just a word to the wise–use your freedom to create good products and good memories. Sometimes in the giddiness of freedom after a long imprisonment there is a tendency to want to fly as high as possible. Please take it slow and make it meaningful for us all.

    Japan has a lot of memories good and bad for Jaejoong, Junsu, and Yoochun, but I believe the good predominates. What’s also important is the fact that the Japanese fans have not ceased in their ardor for DBSK or JYJ. The Boys will be welcome.

Addendum: It seems as if Avex is filing an appeal of today’s court decision. Par for the course.

[Info] 130118 JYJ Wins Lawsuit Against Japanese Management Avex

[Info] 130118 JYJ Wins Lawsuit Against Japanese Management Avex

Following their settlement with SM Entertainment last year, JYJ seems to have rid themselves of another lawsuit by claiming victory against their former Japanese management, Avex.

C-JeS Entertainment confirmed the news by commenting, “During the trial in Japan on the 18th, it was ruled that Avex cannot interfere with the Japanese promotional activities of JYJ.”

They added, “Once the exact decision documents arrive, we will send out a press release.”

The group has been battling Avex since 2011 on the basis of interfering with the group’s attempt to put on a charity concert for the Tohoku earthquake.

With this ruling, it seems that JYJ may be able to start promoting in Japan again.

Something happen bb? :(
(Jaejoong, 7:02am KST) Living with bated breath, and living while breathing. When you think you’ll regret something.. and when you’re already regretting it.. The difference between “that moment”.

I wonder if these are lyrics or if he’s just feeling like being deep. hmm
(Jaejoong, 11:50pm KST) Things we can’t know.. and things we don’t know.. Things we try to feel.. but things we don’t.. Looking back.. but not looking ahead.

[TRANS] 130113 JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong Is Still ‘Hero Jaejoong’ In His Fans’ Hearts

[TRANS] 130113 JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong Is Still ‘Hero Jaejoong’ In His Fans’ Hearts

 

There are still many fans who remember JYJ’s Kim Jaejoong as TVXQ’s Hero Jaejoong.

Ahead of his solo concert, Kim Jaejoong received suggestions from fans for songs he should sing during his concert, and a flood of request came in for him to perform songs by ‘TVXQ’.

On the 12th, Kim Jaejoong held an event that took suggestions for songs he should perform at his ‘You, My and Mine’ concert on the 26th and 27th of January through comments that were posted on his official Facebook page.

The event took place for two hours and collected around 8,800 comments and 7,500 ‘likes’. Kim Jaejoong’s popularity was proven when comments were left by fans from Korea, other Asian countries such as Japan and China, as well as overseas fans who spoke English and Spanish.

However, the suggestions showed that the fans ‘want to see Hero Jaejoong again’.

Most of the fans’ suggestions were TVXQ songs such as ‘HUG’ and ‘honey funny bunny’. There were fans who requested songs by other singers such as ‘Lovers’ by Lee Seon Hee, but most of the requests were TVXQ songs.

Hero Jaejoong, Kim Jaejoong’s stage name during his time as a member of TVXQ, ranked high on the most searched rankings of various portal sites after the event began, mirroring the wishes of the fans.

Meanwhile, former TVXQ members Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu (JYJ) filed an injunction against their former agency SM Entertainment on July 31st, 2009 for an unlawful exclusive contract. They have been participating in activities independent from SM ever since the Courts accepted their injunction.

The legal battle ensued between the two sides with SM Entertainment filing an exclusive contract validity confirmation and compensation for damages lawsuit in April, 2010, which was counteracted by JYJ’s exclusive contract invalidity confirmation lawsuit. The lawsuit came to an end on the 28th of November last year through voluntary arbitration.

[INFO] Detailed Tracklist Info on Jaejoong’s Solo Album, “Mine” 1st Mini Album

[Info] Detailed Tracklist Info on Jaejoong’s Solo Album,  “Mine” 1st Mini Album

From JYJ’s emotional, delicate, and beloved vocalist Kim Jaejoong’s first solo mini-album “I”.Co-produced by Kim Jaejoong, recognized as a singer-songwriter who worked on JYJ’s album and songs from his dramas and movies.

Kim Jaejoong wants to work on a rock genre album with collaboration from Kim Bada, vocalist of Sinawe and only Kim Jaejoong’s explosive vocals can give justice to the songs. After 10 years since his debut, the lyrics of all the songs directly captured and expressed all the emotions he felt while working as a singer and actor. It is also an honest confession about his life through music. To describe this album, it is simply a “piece of work”.

01 One Kiss (Lyrics – Kim Jaejoong / composer – Kim Bada / arranger – Sean)
“One Kiss” makes use of a full synthesizer, but the song combined with Kim Jaejoong’s husky treble voice, contains the base of rock elements such as hard playing of the drums and crunchy guitar sounds(T/N it is really a rock term). Despite its intense sound, the lyrics are melancholic and is all about remembering the past, creating a deep impression.

02 Mine (lyricist – Kim Jaejoong / Composition – Kim Bada, Sean / Arrangement – Kim Bada, Sean)
“Mine” is the the title track of the mini-album, it’s a song that was arranged by Kim Bada that showcases Kim Jaejoong’s outstanding singing abilities with his explosive vocals and exceptional interpretation of the song. The magnificent and crystal texture of the guitars in the middle of the track makes the listeners feel like one is racing through a tunnel.

03 내안 가득히 (lyricist – Jeon Haeseong / composer – Jeon Haeseong / arranger – PJ, Kim JinHoon)
It is a modern rock ballad that starts with Kim Jaejoong’s melodic voice and features his delicate emotions. The gentle melody and the lyrics fits the story about love, friendship, and relationship and about someone who is about to confess his love.

04 나만의 위로 (Healing for myself) (lyrics Kim Jaejoong / composer – Kim Jaejoong / arranger – Kwon Binji)
Sweet melody sad lyrics containing Kim Jaejoong’s yearning for a lover who has gone away. The gentle melody increasingly changes to a strong melody during the emotional part of the lyrics. In the second half of the song, Kim Jaejoong’s rock vocals is truly impressive.

05 All Alone (Lyrics – Kim Jaejoong / composer – Kim Jaejoong, Kim Sejin / arranger – Kim Sejin)
All Alone’s outstanding piano melody evokes a lyrical atmosphere with Kim Jaejoong’s emotional vocals all throughout the song. The lyrics is about pulling a beautiful but sad memory stored at the back of your mind. If you listen with your eyes close, you will see a scene of the saddest but most beautiful memory.

T/N: I left the Korean titles as I’m not sure of the English translation for the songs.
