[TRANS] 100404 “I Believe That Tohoshinki Will Come Back with Smiling Faces”

A Reporter’s View

On the 3rd, an announcement was made by avex that the Korean dance-vocal quintet Tohoshinki, whose total sales in Japan have exceeded 5 million copies and who has appeared on NHK’s Kouhaku Utagassen for 2 consecutive years, will be taking an indefinite break. The reason of this is known to be because of the contract dispute between their Korean company and the 3 members, and after a conference made between the 5 of them and the officials from both Japan and Korea, they have come to a decision to suspend their activities. From now on they will be focusing on their solo activities.
Tohoshinki who had already been a top star in Korea started in Japan as a new artist, mastered the language, and did their activities steadily and honestly. In the beginning, most of their fans consist of women in their 30s and 40s who are Hallyu fans. However, after their great efforts to improve their dancing and singing in Japanese, their fanbase has spread to females who are in their 10s and 20s, and they have become a top star in Japan.
Because the cause of this is the contract dispute with their Korean company, with such great efforts that they’re carrying, this break is not something we should be sad about. Because the cause is definitely not that the members hate each other. I want them to do well with their solo activities, and I want to wait believing that the 5 of them to come back with great success and smiles on their faces.

[TRANS] 100404 Max Matsuura's Twitter Updates (New)

Since I don't know if the Korean side will permit us, I can't say anything in my position, but I will try my best for the continuation of Bigeast. My friend messages will be updated @message_max

Max Matsuura just opened up a new twitter. If you guys remember how he used to send out friend messages on his blog, he says that this twitter will work as his friend messages. He hasn't been updating his blog these days, but he updates Twitter regularly.

I'll be happy if you can warmly watch over them who are having a fresh start. At the very least, I intend to go forward with the staff to a good direction with a positive and optimistic attitude. It's already Sunday evening, so I hope you'll spend the rest of Sunday well (end).

"The things that I've been wanting to tell up until now but cannot, but it would be good if I could tell you" is a strange expression. However, from now on, as a positive start, I'll change my attitude because I think it is a necessary thing to do. I think it's something I can do (cont.)

I am very sorry for making everyone surprised by the announcement made yesterday. I myself also don't know what to do… on the other hand, even if I knew what to do, everyone (cont.)

[TRANS] 100404 Sankei Sports News “There is still a possibility ..."

Yes, there still a hope for all of them~

Cassie, Bigeast and i-Cassie should stay strong together ~

---------------------

Partially Translated:

Despite the current tough situation in the music industry, TVXQ had sold 5,130,000 pieces of CD.

They appeared as five at TBS "CDTV SPECIAL! Premium Live 2009-2010" last December. From now on, they will focus on their solo activities, however the person in charge had mentioned, “There is still a possibility that five of them may appear and perform as TVXQ in the future”.

*Note from the translator:
Personally, I have prepared my mind for this from the end of July last year. And that was the time I started to translate here at O!. It was because, I wanted to deliver uplifting translations to you. No matter what, we love all five of them. So let us continue to support, love and hope for the best for them! Fighting TVXQ and us fans!

Always Keep The Faith!

[COURAGE from CASSIOPEIA to CASSIOPEIA] Reader Request - From 류인, Cassiopeia

cHeeSe_tHea :

Dalam pernyataan yang ditulis di web official, hanya disebutkan mereka akan rehat sebagai group dan melanjutkan aktivitas resmi dalam bentuk individual. Di sana tidak disebutkan adanya ‘disband’ atau ‘bubar’ sama sekali…

Bisa dibilang, saat ini mereka hanya mengesampingkan aktivitas group untuk sementara waktu, namun bukan berarti Tohoshinki akan bubar, toh mereka masih tetap memakai nama Tohoshinki / DBKS / TVXQ di belakang nama panggung mereka dan mereka masih berada dibawah bendera SM dan Avex~~~

So everyone, kita harus sabar menunggu, PASTI MEREKA akan KEMBALI lagi sebagai 5 MEMBER TOHOSHINKI~

JUST KEEP PRAY and KEEP the FAITH in GOD and in our BOYS~

WE’LL WAIT TVXQ COMEBACK~

--------------------

read text below~ and get a courage from it ^^

------------------

Pass this post, if you don't want to read but a reader had requested to me to post this. It will encourage you because it encouraged me too.

-----

This is my first and Hopefully its not the last for me to post a comment here in DBSKnights. I'm a Cassiopeian ever since 2003, when DBSK stood on the stage with the help from BoA. I celebrated their 6th Anni, and celebrated my own 6th Anni of being a DBSKHolic.

Frankly speaking, This news did not Trigger me much. Why? Not to mean that I'm not interested anymore, I'm just following and Respecting the path. In the first place, they mentioned of becoming a Successful singer. So it's actually not surprising if they choose their Alternative ways to Complete this Dream of theirs. When a pair of wings are ready, it attempts to Fly itself.

"Tohoshinki will stop their activities as a group and please support their solo activities".
- I find no 'DISBAND' nor 'STOPPING FOREVER' in this quote.

Keep in mind that the name is still under SM.Ent, so As long as no Official statement from them stating they're Disbanding, they'll Still be using "DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki" as much as possible in their Solo Activities, in Korea or Overseas. (Eg. Yunho's using [DBSK] and [U-Know] in MJ's Tribute.)

Each of the five boys stated that they'll Come out one day and Explain everything. Did they come yet? No. So I choose to be patient, and will continue waiting.

We Don't Know the Real Truth, and I don't think we have the Need to, for I Took a step forward directly to their backs, Leveling with their Shoulders. I won't put ALL THE Blame to SM.Ent, And I sincerely hope that the rest would do the same. Because it's The Five's choices to Fly.

DBSK is More than Just An Idol for me. I Found who I am from them, I Learned every single Singing Technique from them. I Love Music from them, and I confirmed myself of to be a Singer from them.

I Support all of them, Though Jung Yunho's my Fav among all >.<. No Activities from DBSK? I support Tohoshinki. No Activities from Tohoshinki? I support Each of them, Individually.

Always Keep the Faith?

I, hereby to Declare.
I, Forever Keep the Faith.

I did everything I can. At the end of bitterness, I’ve decided to support my very best for their choice.
To them who are flying, if that is what they want I am planning to do everything I can. It doesn’t matter what position I’m in, my personal sadness is probably the same as the Tohoshinki fans.

[TRANS] 100106 Kim Junsu Sets New Record - All 15 "Mozart!" Performances Sold Out

Su2…… Kamu pasti kerja keras yah untuk performance ini ^^….

But, please keep healthy ^^

My Dolphin-Oppa should enough rest now ^^

===============

TVXQ's Xiah Junsu (Kim Junsu) created a new record in the acting industry.

All the dates for Kim Junsu's performances in the musical "Mozart!", where he plays the lead character, have been sold out. Kim Junsu will be acting in 15 of the 41 performances and in a short span of time, all 45,000 tickets have been sold out.

When news came out that Kim Junsu would has been confirmed for the role, it could already be seen that his "power" was beyond that of others. During the first ticket sales, his fans bought 6,000 tickets in under an hour, and not only did all the tickets sell out within two hours when the second ticket sales started, his fans also caused the site to crash. During the third and fourth sales, although tickets to Kim Junsu's performances were sold at a different time, all the tickets sold out under three hours, despite slow internet speed due to high traffic.

This is a situation that has not been seen in a long time, even with Jo Seung Woo performing. Although other artists from Super Junior (Kangin, Heechul, Yesung, Sungmin), Girls' Generation (Jessica), Big Bang (Daesung, Seungri) and FT Island (Hongki, Jaejin) participated in musicals, such tremendous results were not seen.

A musical actor needs to have the ability to dance, sing and act all at the same time, and doubts that were raised over the choice of Kim Junsu, an idol singer who does not have any experience in musicals, were eradicated by this evidence of Kim Junsu's ticket power.

Sell-out ticket sales is not the only benefit of having an idol star participate. Because of Kim Junsu, those in their teens and twenties are more concerned about "Mozart!" and there is a growing interest in musicals. This helps in boosting overall sales of tickets as they develop an interest in watching the other actors' performances as well.

Representative of EMK Musical Company, as well as Producer from "Mozart!", Um Hong-hyeon also expressed that this is an opportunity to expand the audience market for musicals to include those in their late teens and early twenties.

"Mozart!", the most highly anticipated production for the first half of 2010, will be performed at the Sejong Center for the Performing Arts from 20 January until 20 February 2010.

[Trans] 100107 TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho Visits Grandmother In Hospital

Wahhhhhhhhhhh… Yunho memang selalu menjadi artis yang dapat dicontoh…. Setelah sebelumnya ikut serta dalam amal lewat pembelian kalung Bvlgari ^^, sekarang YUnho mengunjungi neneknya di Rumah Sakit…..

Mnegapa “mengunjungi nenek di RS” bisa dianggap hal yang keren???…. Karena memang di Korea, mengunjungi seseorang di RS cukup susah karena butuh persyaratan yang cukup panjang (long-term procedur)….

==========

TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho is garnering attention for visiting the JangsungHyo Love Hospital in Jeolla Province during the afternoon of the 6th to give his greetings for the New Year.

U-Know Yunho was there to visit his grandmother at the hospital as soon as he returned from his activities in Japan.

U-Know Yunho, who went to visit his grandmother at the hospital despite his busy schedule, gave the elderly at the hospital rice cakes and drinks and is said to have had a great time with them.
The reason that U-Know Yunho’s visit is in the spotlight is because not many family members visit patients due to the nature of the long-term hospital so he is being seen as a role model for his visit there.

On the other hand, TVXQ, in which U-Know Yunho is a member, ranked as the most searched artiste at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen 2009 and solidified their popularity overseas as well as in Korea.

[TRANS] 100105 Hangeng reportedly will not be present for SJ’s concert(s) in China; fans refund the

a little news about SuJu’s Hangeng T.T

*absen untuk Super Show II di Sahnghai nanti T.T

sepertinya masalah bertambah parah …. T.T

bahkan masalah TVXQ tidak sampai membuat Mirotic Concret (yang terjadwal sebelumnya, minus Shenzen~ tak terjadwal oleh Member ^^) terhenti ……

Ganbatte SuJU ^^ Ganbatte Hangeng….. I think Teuki bakal stress T.T….

===============

Recently at Hunan TV’s countdown concert, Super Junior M made a special appearance, but while fans were pleasantly surprised at their presence, the seven-member unit was missing their leader, Hangeng.

Hangeng’s case will be heard in court on the 8th of January, in Korea. If the court approves, Hangeng will be free as early as March of this year. His lawyer has confirmed that Hangeng will temporarily be absent from all activities to do with SM Entertainment.

From Hangeng’s fan site, it has been learnt that he will most likely be absent from the Beijing stop of SUPER SHOW II, on the 23rd of January. The ticketing company has also started to refund tickets.

On the 31st of December 2009, Super Junior M’s performance was the highlight of Hunan TV’s countdown concert. Fans quickly noticed leader Hangeng’s absence, and only the other six members sang their signature songs during the performance.

Hangeng’s lawyer has explained that Hangeng is currently on vacation, and will temporarily not be attending any events. One reason is that Hangeng does not feel well and wants to rest properly. Also, not coming into contact with SME means that there will be lesser chance of more conflict. The other reason is that since he has filed a lawsuit against SM Entertainment, his lawyer’s advice is to stay away from any SME affiliated events.

(Repetitive part about lawsuit omitted)

On the 10th of January, Super Junior will begin their Asia tour with their Shanghai stop, and will hold their Beijing concert on the 23rd of the same month. Previously there were rumours that the lawsuit was only a publicity stunt for the Beijing concert stop. The concert-organizing unit has already addressed the issue by saying that “there is no need for such publicity, the tickets have already been sold out”.

It also claimed that everything is going smoothly, and they have not received any news about Super Junior or Hangeng not coming to Beijing for the concert. Yesterday, information from Hangeng’s Baidu bar (T/N: basically a huge forum like place for Chinese fans) revealed that fans have been clamouring for ticket refunds, stating: “Because Hangeng’s participation for the Beijing concert is not certain, tickets can be refunded by the ticketing management. Ticket refunding is a personal choice, please think twice before making a decision”.

Fans have responded that refunding their tickets is the most practical way to support Hangeng: “(We) Support! Geng-fan (Hangeng fans) should refund their tickets, that’s the best way to support Hangeng! Don’t allow SM to take advantage of the situation and say that even without Hangeng, the fans are still supportive.”
