■First to break Elton John's record in 12 years and 4 months

Korean 5-member group Tohoshinki have made the record as the highest selling artist for foreign artists in the initial sales for singles category. Their 29th single 「BREAK OUT！」was released on 27 January and became first on the 8 February Oricon Singles Ranking Chart.

For the initial sales record for foreign artists, up until now, it had been held by Elton John's "Memorial Song for the former British Princess Diana", 「Candle In The Wind〜Tribute To Princess Diana, Britain's Princess」(released September 1997), which sold 184,000 copies. In this area, Tohoshinki broke this record which lasted for 12 years and 4 months, by selling 254,000 copies of their single, becoming the first foreign artist in history to pass the 200,000 mark in initial sales.

In addition to becoming first place for foreign artists in initial sales, this will also be Tohoshinki's 7th work to add on to their list of achievements for getting a #1 single, making this a double achievement for them.

Their first single in 2010 is also the theme song for NHK Drama 8's 『とめはねっ！鈴里高校書道部』. The B-side to this song is the solo number 「XIAHTIC」which was written, composed and arranged by Junsu.

[News] 100203 TOHOSHINKI Still Rocking Japan

Korean idol group TOHOSHINKI graces the March cover of JJ [JJ]

TOHOSHINKI is still insanely popular in Japan. The March issue of women's fashion magazine "JJ", which featured the boy band on the cover, sold out in just two days of going on sale January 23. This is the first time that a male group appeared on the cover of "JJ", a magazine which celebrates its 35th anniversary this year. "Starting last March, we ran a special feature section on TOHOSHINKI for three months and it was a huge sensation," a source at "JJ" explained. "Our theme for the cover is 'surprise' and we wanted to prepare a surprise present for TOHOSHINKI fans, so we have been asking TOHOSHINKI [to shoot the cover] since last summer and they had finally said yes this time." The people at "JJ" explained that since the photo shoot and interview were conducted in late December, the members were running on busy schedules -- with their upcoming appearances on NHK TV's "Red and White Song Battle" and Japan Record Awards -- but they were so committed that they ended up working overtime and the atmosphere on the set was warm and friendly throughout. The TOHOSHINKI "Valentine's Day Special" feature includes an eight-page photo spread, a 100-question survey which reveals the personal lives of the five members and a chance to win an autographed picture of the pop idols.

The explosively popular issue of "JJ" then started selling at online website Auction with a bidding price of JPY 5,000 yen, which is several times the original sale price (JPY 650 yen). Numerous fan sites heated up with fans' complaints such as "I want to buy the magazine but no one is selling", "I realized once again how popular TVXQ is. I knew it was hard to buy their concert ticket but did not know it would be just as hard getting a magazine." Eventually on January 25, "JJ" decided to reprint its March issue and distribute the reprinted magazines to bookstores around the country starting January 29.


TOHOSHINKI had another reason to celebrate: their new single "BREAK OUT!", released January 27, reached No. 1 on Oricon's singles chart. The 29th single has been chosen as the theme song to NHK drama "Tomehane! Suzuri Koko Shodobu", which premiered on January 7 and airs every Thursday at 8 p.m. The single sold 169,842 copies on the day of its release, outselling No. 2 single L'Arc-en-Ciel's "BLESS" (which sold 33,051 copies) by a mile. "BREAK OUT!" also topped Oricon's survey for "The Most Anticipated New Single Album" on January 22, a day before its release. With the upcoming release of their first best album "BEST SELECTION 2010" set for February 17, it will be interesting to see if TVXQ continues their sell-out run.

Break Out! - Off Shot

start at 4:19

"Yoochun, who originally planned to use this expression, recieved this from the director..."

PD: If your expression was even softer, it'd be better

YC: Is it not soft enough?

-

PD: This is okay~

"Is the Directors [OK] a medicine for becoming active again?"

YH: OK

PD: Try this again --- next one

PD: Moving on to the next setting

YH: HAI

"Yunho, who no matter what, works his hardest to make sure he accomplishes the things he cannot do"

YH: Can we do this again? The ending part

-
"Things to watch out for in the PV?"

YH: I don't know where the spider will land and I have to make it so that it seems like there's really a spider there. How that's going to work is a bit hard.

"Finally the first one finished filming..."

YH: This time I'm the first to finish filming.... feels a bit weird~

-

"[Has he grown taller again?] Because of this question, his height was measured"

PD: It's 190cm ah ~ (#!$!#!$ should I note that he does not need to grow anymore... 190cm = 6'3'' ??)

"Changmin, who's very happy to see the dancers again"

"Seems like he wants the staff members to relax while they film..."

PD: It's been a long time ... let's start now
-
"The mood of the PV ?"

CM: It seems like it will become those very dark PV

CM: I really want to see how it will turn out

-

"Junsu's special make-up session... START!"

YC: How long will it take?

PD: Probably an hour and a half

YC: Grandpa Junsu, I'm going now~

PD: It'll be something like this

-

YC: I understand, thank you for you guidance

"How do you feel about today?"

YC: Being with the two foreigners..

YC: They were both on that side of the camera yet I was alone on the other side

YC: Each doing our own thing... it feels a bit lonely (I have a feeling he's not talking about the two kids..?)I

-

"How was the special make-up?"

JS: It took about ..... 2 hours

JS: And then I waited for about 2-3 hours

JS: Then the filming finally started (4-5 hours for a .. 2 second shot ? ^^)

JS: Filmed the shot for about 15 minutes..

JS: It really does feel like a waste of time filming ( XD )

JS: But in the PV it'll have a really good appearance time

JS: It's an important part of the PV

JS: Please look forward to it ~

-

PD: Start~

"Jaejoong suddenly laughs at this part...."

JJ: Sorry, sorry, really, sorry about that

PD: Jaejoong, gambatte !

PD: A very meaningful look, then turn around

"So the reason behind laughing is because the OFF SHOT camera appears in the filming scene of the PV"

JJ: It's all because of this camera~

PD: Cut

PD: Is it really ~ (of course not, Jaejoong just can't not laugh LOL)

JJ: Doesn't it seem very funny? It's suddenly right in front of me

JJ: This shot was supposed to be the one that needed the least time

JJ: I guess I've wasted a lot of film

JJ: It's all because of me

PD: The last scene..

JJ: I'm sorry everyone

JJ: And sorry to the members as well

I keep praying,
Don't Forget,
Baby, We keep the faith, Eternally.2x

見つめてる 夜は今 夜明け前の遠い空
確かめるように 照らし出すよ あの道のりの その先を
Mitsumeteru yoru wa ima yoake mae no tooi sora
Tashikameru yoo ni terashi dasu yo ano michinori no sono saki wo

[I'm gazzing at the far night sky now, before down
as If I'm making sure to light up the path a head]

陽は昇り繰り返し 終わりのない涙は無い
いつかはそう思えるから 生きるよ
Hi wa nobori kurikaeshi owari no nai namida wa nai
Itsuka wa soo omoeru kara ikiru yo

[Sun will rise repeatedly, there are no endless tears
I can think that someday, so I will live]


Break Out Break Out
明日へのドア 開く鍵は きっと君の手の中
Break Out Break Out
掴み取れ未来 運命なんてきっと make it yourself 君次第
Break Out Break Out
Ashita e no doa hiraku kagi wa kitto kimi no te no naka
Break Out Break Out
Tsukami tore mirai unmei nante kitto make it yourself kimi shidai

[Break Out Break Out
The door which leads to tomorrow, the key that open it , must be in your hand
Break Out Break Out
Graps the future, such a thing as the fate is surely make yourself, it's in your hand]

I keep Praying,
Don't Forget,
Baby, We keep the faith, Eternally.


駆け抜ける この日々が 空の向こうに流れても
笑った君を 思い出せば いつだって時は戻るから
Kakenukeru kono hibi ga sora no mukoo ni nagare te mo
Waratta kimi o omoidase ba itsu datte toki wa modoru kara

[Even if these passing days drift away to the other side
When I remember your smile, the time will always return]

欠けた 月の形を埋めるように 人は出会い
心ひとつに合わせて 輝く
Kaketa tsuki no katachi o umeru yoo ni hito wa deai
Kokoro hitotsu ni awase te kagayaku

[As if filling in the waning moon shape people meet and,
Put their heart together and shine]


Break Out Break Out
きっと涙は 悲しみじゃなくて 夢の足跡
Break Out Break Out
君だけにしか できないことがある believe yourself 信じて
Break Out Break Out
Kitto namida wa kanashimi ja naku te yume no ashiato
Break Out Break Out
Kimi dake ni shika deki nai koto ga aru believe yourself shinji te

[Break Out Break Out
Tears are surely not sadness, they are the footprints of dreams
Break Out Break Out
There are things only you can do Believe yourself, Believe]


I keep Praying,
Don't Forget,
Baby, We keep the faith, Eternally 2x

Dance part [t/n: maybe XD]


その願いが叶うように 祈り続けるから いつの日も
Sono negai ga kanau yoo ni inori tsuzukeru kara itsu no hi mo

[In order for that wish to be granted, I will continue to pray any day... ooooh]


Break Out Break Out
きっと涙は 悲しみじゃなくて 夢の足跡
Break Out Break Out
