[NEWS] TVXQ to release special Japanese album on July 15

Korean idol group TVXQ will be releasing a special Japanese DVD album on July 15, according to Japanese daily newspaper Sankei Sports on Wednesday.

Sankei reported that the group, despite having halted all group activities, will release a special album in DVD format with highlights from the upcoming Japanese film "Kimi Ga Odoru, Natsu" which also includes an advance ticket for the movie.

The boy band's song "With All My Heart" is featured as the theme song for "Kimi Ga Odoru, Natsu," set to hit theaters in September.

"The members of the group are currently working on individual projects but they have prepared this surprise for their fans," an associate from Sankei explained, adding that the album will go on sale on July 15 although there are no plans for it to be sold as a single album.

The theme song "With All My Heart" is one of the tracks from their best album "Best Selection 2010," which was released in February, and the latest version has been rearranged with a simple piano instrumental. The special album will also include three different versions of the song.

TVXQ has halted all activities as a five-man band with Xiah, Hero and Micky applying for provisional disposition of their 13-year contract with SM last July. They then filed a lawsuit against SM last week, demanding they be confirmed their contract had been nullified as well as be handed their share of profits they claim to have failed to receive.

The three singers formed a new trio away from their original band TVXQ with Japanese agency AVEX a few months ago.

SM too has sued the three singers for the damages the agency and the remaining two members, U-Know Yunho and Max Changmin, have suffered from the legal battle.

Since their 2004 debut, TVXQ, discovered and managed by SM, had arguably been one of the most successful K-pop acts in Asia with reportedly the largest fanbase in the world.

“Everyone must have a lot to say to us. We are very well aware of it. There are times when we cannot cry even though we really want to, so while we are standing here on stage, we wish to let it all out, to our hearts’ content, including what we have held back in previously.” That was what was expressed by the trio before the performance at Osaka.

“Then again, when we see everyone gathered in front of us, full of smiles on your faces, it might not be the right time to cry, and because we are blessed by your smiles, we would like to personally face everything with a smile too.” JeJung expressed to everyone towards the end of the performance.

JeJung and YuChun have appeared as actors before everyone through Mizuki’s sunao ni narenakute and BeeTV’s television drama respectively, while JunSu has also released his first solo track intoxication. After having focused on their own solo activities for a period of time, the gathering of the trio caused a great excitement at the event.

Furthermore, mostly at the Tokyo Dome’s event, numerous big-scaled and rarely seen stage equipments were added, including the tilting runways and clear big screens at all corners of the stage. No matter where one was seated at in the huge auditorium, one could always see the trio clearly and up-close. However, there was a trace of surprise on their faces as the platform started going up while they sung いつだって君に at the opening. During the MC segment, one could also see that they were quite nervous. As this performance was only carried out through four sessions at two venues, Tokyo and Osaka, fans from all over the world vied for tickets for the performances. But through detailed accounts, we still hoped to let everyone, especially for the fans who were not able to make it for the event live, experience for themselves how spectacular the event were.

Frankly speaking, though, what was more precious than the event was what JeJung was trying to convey through the words that he had spoken earlier. In the opening of the MC segment, JunSu said, “If I am unable to sing again, then it would be no different from dying, so from here on I still want to continue to sing, for as long as I can, with all my might.” YuChun also said after that, “Having seen how everyone have encouraged us with your love, the only thing I can do is to work even harder, and I also hope that there will be even more a mutual understanding between (everyone and) us, and we are very grateful for how everyone has waited for us.” After this, JeJung honestly expressed his feelings by saying, “We are really thankful that so many people have attended this performance.

From everyone’s perspective, even though we are unable to be by everyone’s side realistically, we are really grateful for this, just being able to have you sing together with us, smile with us and cry with us. We are also motivated by this, and we will work even harder from now onwards to reciprocate everyone’s love. Please continue to support us in the future.” Probably (and I really mean probably) what the trio never thought of, was that the lyrics of the last song long way and the encore song w really described what everyone felt,

“Even though we are separated now/But because there is still a future to move towards/We do not want to lie to ourselves. Facing the future a step at a time/Forging towards the road ahead. Even though I cannot be with you now/But I will never ever forget you/I will always guard the place where you are/Just for that moment when we will be able to meet again. All the effort that I am putting in now/It is all because I want to meet you again.”

Such lyrics can be comprehended simply as lyrics of a love song, or lyrics that has a deeper meaning, but no matter what, what the trio can do now is to work hard and move forward, to prepare well for the activities from here on, to look ahead, to strive on. Is it not good the way it is now? To do what we can to help the three of them, and the future, whether if it is to the three of them, or to everyone who is continually giving them support, is it not filled with dreams and hopes?

Through the three hours while keeping this in mind, the trio also announced during the performance that they have decided to participate in a-nation this summer, and that the new tracks that they have performed will also be released soon. The trio also shared on stage later, in order to meet all the fans in Japan, they will work harder from now onwards to hold more live events. A full detailed message will be released in the magazine from here on.

[TRANS] 100626 GQ July Issue – Interview with Lee Jung Mi (Who Played Mrs Weber in Mozart!)

Q. How do you find Xiah Junsu, having performed in the musical “Mozart!” together with him?

- He is really excellent. There are four main lead actors for “Mozart”, and amongst the four of them, he was the first to have memorized the lines, the actions and the lyrics. He was very hardworking during the rehearsals, and he always had this determination to want to give his best. A few days ago I heard he won the best newcomer award in “The Musical Awards”, and I was worried that people who have not seen him performed would say that “it was an award won based on popularity”. In the musical I play the role that antagonizes Mozart, but because (Junsu) was so outstanding in his acting, I even felt apologetic about having to oppose him. I told him before, that I hope he will continue doing this, and he himself also expressed that he wishes to carry on performing in musicals.

TVXQ special history 2004~2010

2004 Emergence of Dong Bang Shin Ki! Prologue of a Legendary Group
choir, acapella, dancing, these are essential qualification needed to be fulfilled by an idol group. However, it is difficult in pursuit of high quality skills in all members. Hence, under these circumstances, specialization among the members into member who is in charged of vocal, in charged of rap and in charged of dancing. However, it is totally different in DBSK. This group is formed by members who has capability to be the lead vocal equally.
DBSK begins on 14th January 2004, when debuted gorgeously with single 'HUG'. In Korea which was in the midst of cooling down Idol fever, even debuted may need to struggle (before achieving any result). However 'HUG' won no.1 in various musical programs for countless times, and gaining popularity rapidly. This is like the meanings that expressed in their group's title, the moment of 'Rising Gods of the East'
Later on, the boys who were instantly turn into popular singers released their first album 'TRI-ANGLE' in October the same year which sold a total of 100 thousand copies. With wining the Best New Artist award in the year end Musical Festival, they nominally, practically ranked among the top stars in Korea. At this time, a press conference was held in Narita International Airport, to prepare for their debut in Japan officially.


2005 As JPOP rookie, they tasted bitterness during their stay in Japan
Debuted only for 1 year, they already considered as top stars in Korea. Taking advantage of effects from Korean series drama 'Winter Sonata', went into Japan which was in the midst of Korean wave.
Although having possibilities in gaining popularity through debut, they did not take the short cut. In order to let their abilities being recognized, and to maintain long term popularity, although achieved extreme popularity in Korea, they still choose the path to debut as JPOP rookie. Five of them officially switched their activities towards Japan, and begin their life together in Tokyo.
After learning Japanese language and vocal practice, on 27th of April 2005, they released their first Japanese single 'Stay With me tonight', but it did not get the same response as they debuted in Korea. They can gather 50 000 fans during LIVE in Korea, but in Japan only 50 people. Walking on street, people surrounding them also won't be surprised... stunned and mortified by such kind of popularity, and the gap between their recognition in Korea and Japan, they even produced ideas to give up their activities in Japan. However they did not depressed because of that. In order to get recognition from Japanese, in order to understand the lyrics, and can communicate fluently, they put all their efforts in studying Japanese language.

2006 First LIVE tour -- Cumulative efforts begins to bear fruit
On 23rd March 2006, their first Japanese album 'Heart, Mind and Soul' was released. Their continuing and practical efforts started to display bits by bits, gradually gaining recognition and popularity. The close relationship between Tohoshinki members, their stiff but cute Japanese language, as well as the personalities of each member that showing off gradually, not only captured attentions of fans who are attracted to their songs, but also increasing in wide range of fans.
From 13th of May till 28th of June, they started their first ever Japanese LIVE tour '1st Live Tour 2006 ~Heart, Mind and Soul~'. This LIVE tour was performed in small scale, the tickets were all sold out within 1 day. In this LIVE tour, the members probably had concrete feelings towards their activities in Japan for the first time. In summer, they took part in grand musical festival - 'a-nation' which was organized by their Japanese Record Company for the first time. There should be a lot of fans who were influenced by their high quality enthusiastic performance at that time. This year was the year of LIVE, in February there was 'The 1st Live Concert Rising Sun' in Korea, in July was 1st live tour 'Rising Sun 1st Asia Tour' which unfolded in Malaysia, Thailand.

2007 Realization of Live Tour in Budokan, Moments of Locking vertex
DBSK besides focused their activities in Japan, they also maintained their regular activities in Korea. In 2005, they released 2nd album 'Rising Sun'. In between, they still released their mini album, and performed in 3 different live tours. No matter how young they were, their exhaustion in these densely packed schedule was beyond imagination. Therefore, there was quarrel between members during dance practice for LIVE.(I think this sentence referred to the scene found in the film 'Vacation' = =)
Under these circumstances, they still released 7 singles and their 2nd album 'Five In The Black' in Japan. In May they began their '2nd Live Tour 2007- Five in The Black', performed in Budokan for additional 2 days which attracted a total of 22,000 fans. With a grand total of 77,000 fans, it showed more affection if compared to 1st live tour. And starting from that moment, their single debuted in upper position on the Oricon chart for the first time. It was not far from the day when TVXQ Fever swept through Japan.
