[Trans] 100206 Update of "smart" Magazine Editor’s blog

T/N: This is related to smiley's trans here.

Thank you so much for the huge number of comments I received!

Hello to everyone reading this blog.
I am Igarashi Souhei who says, without being an understatement that he is the one from all men living in Tokyoto Meguroku that listens to "Break out" the most often.

Yesterday this blog recorded the highest access number and we even received the same number after that.

I can't say it enough; this is all thanks to the Fans from Junsu and Tohoshinki. The whole editorial team is thanking you from the bottom of their heart.

Unbelievably the number of comments we receive is still increasing. Like I did in the previous blog I thought I would answer all comments, but there are way too many....
Therefore I am really sorry but I will stop answering the comments for a while...
Sorry for everyone who wrote a comment. The number of comments became so enormous that it became a level where I cannot answer them anymore.

Usually the staff reads all the comments. And it makes us very happy.

And a big thank you to the people writing the comments and to everyone reading this blog.

Special thanks to Junsu and Tohoshinki who brought us near to all of you.

Everyone's comments are so bright, friendly and warm. Tohoshinki members are the same as such wonderful fans, bright, friendly and warm.

Currently Junsu's page from smart No.4 is making steady progress.

I just looked at Junsu's photos carefully and I am sure that looking at these photos, not only Junsu’s female fans but also boys who don't know Tohoshinki will say "This is cool!"

This time you can not only look forward to Junsu’s performance, but I am happy that the male fans increased.

Only 20 days left until the magazine is published, please wait for it.

I am not able to answer the comments and I am so, so sorry for that!

Please continue to support this blog and the magazine.

[Trans] 100205 Chilean Fans of Kpop Become Famous on Korean TV

A group of young supporters, followers of Kpop, dance together to music that is raging in the distant continent,
a hobby that even drew the attention of South Korean television.

They dance, sing and some of them even learn Korean. These are some of the activities of Chilean fans of k-pop,
music that is fashionable in Asia and which each day calls the attention of more Chilean adolescents.

Youth ranging from 15 to 18, meet every week at the Discoteque Alpha Lo Prado to dress,
sing and move at the pace of the lyrics they themselves are responsible for translating
and that to many it even lead to learning the Korean language.

Arlette Ramirez, one of the representatives of the group TVXQ! Chile, said that the interest came from Japanese anime
and from there, looking for information about groups on the Internet,
they began to come together to talk about their taste for Korean music in a forum created especially for it
and that now has more than 100 thousand hits, 2 thousand of them in Chile alone.

Groups like Big Bang, Rain, Changmin or Jewelry are most likely to sound totally unknown to the common public,
however, for the fans they are true stars who follow their every step, despite being so far away from them.

Besides getting together each week at the Discoteque Alpha, groups of fans formed friendships with who they come
together to share and view YouTube videos, learn choreography and collect posters and photographs of their idols.

Such is the enthusiasm for Korean culture, that it aroused the interest of the television network SBS of Korea,
who will travel to Chile to make a report, documenting their fanaticism, and that we present below.

T/N: It seems that the writer of this article thinks that Changmin is the name of a band,
and not one of the Members of TVXQ.

[Trans] 100202 Tohoshinki Breaks Record - First Foreign Artist In 12 Years To Sell Over 200K In Singles For Initial Sales

they got 1st Oricon Monthly for the first time
and 1st Oricon Weeky for 7th times...
Congratz for them..more and more proud!! ^^
----------------------------------

Date: 02 February 2010
Time: 04:00

■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.

[Trans] 100202 TVXQ Chosen By Viewers Of American Talk Show 'Ellen Degeneres Show' As A Rising Star

TVXQ has been chosen by viewers of a famous American talk show as 'the foreign artiste who should be introduced to Ellen'.

In the 'Send Ellen Your International Music Suggestions!' event that began on NBC's 'Ellen Degeners Show' homepage in January, TVXQ received over 20,000 suggestions and was recorded as the artiste most suggested by netizens. This was achieved by a collaborative effort of fans in Korea as well as in Asia.

Many of the suggestions included the popularity of TVXQ/Tohoshinki in Japan and in Asia in general. This seems to be the work of fans across Asia coming together for a common cause.

With TVXQ being chosen as the singer with the most suggestions, many wonder if TVXQ will appear on the 'Ellen Degeneres Show'. The 'Ellen Degeneres Show' is a representative talk show in America alongside 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' and is popular with around 10 million households tuning in. Even just appearing on the show will be a strong foundation for an entry into the American music market for TVXQ. The Ellen Degeneres Show homepage did state that the singer with the most suggestions may be asked to appear on the show.

Regarding this, TVXQ's agency SM Entertainment stated, "We did hear about this but we have not yet received an official invitation." He also continued to say, "Currently, TVXQ is split between U-Know Yunho-Choikang Changmin, and Xiah Junsu-YoungWoong Jaejoong-Micky Yoochun. At the current situation, it would not be easy for the five members to appear on the show together." Currently, TVXQ is performing only in important events in Japan.

[Trans] 100202 Japanese Magazine 'SPUR' - Changmin Interview Blog Post

In the February 23rd edition of SPUR, there will be a photoshoot and interview with TVXQ's youngest member, Changmin. He stands at 186cm stall, and has gotten slimmer these days. He has gotten more mature recently and the stylists put together clothes of styles that are in fashion these days from COMME des GARCONS. After the photoshoot began, what surprised me was that when he was wearing a suit, he was able to fully showcase his versatile facial expressions and poses that were as good as, no, better than those of a model. With the best smile in the world and a shy expression that had traces of his childhood, he had a mature look in his eyes when wearing the suits and his overflowing charm made the staff forget what they were doing and say "Changmin, you are so handsome." Because the photoshoot went so smoothly, he finished earlier than expected. (That doesn't happen that often)


After the photoshoot, Changmin said, "It was fun to wear different styles of suits."

He was polite and well mannered during the interview.
The magazine will be released on February 23rd, please anticipate it.

[Trans] 100202 Tohoshinki’s Junsu In「Mozart!」The Musical Becomes A Hot Topic

TVXQ member Junsu played the lead role in the musical「Mozart!」and had his first performance on 20 January 2010 at Sejong Center in Seoul. The tickets are already sold out, and a lot of fans from Japan will be going to watch it. The performances will last until 21 February.
This is an Austrian musical that is being performed in Korea for the first time, and it is a piece of work that portrays the life struggles of the talented genius, Mozart. Various musical genres like classical, rock and jazz are incorporated, and it became a hot topic due to the innovative design. They were given permission to run the musical, and this is a special production as it is one of the most historical and prestigious works from the Theater Association of Austria.

The Seoul newspapers printed articles about Junsu’s performance with a picture of him in dreads and jeans. They wrote that, “Junsu was overflowing with youthful ambition and energy. This musical is his first, and his performance was a full house with tickets all sold out, and the fans watched his stage with intense interest.”
In Korea, such comments could be seen on the Internet:

Mozart is a musical genius with a strong sense of freedom. Such a Mozart is a great match with Junsu’s voice.
Junsu’s musical debut is a historical moment, and I’m glad I could witness it.
I was surprised that the other TVXQ members came to the performance.
His acting was also wonderful.
There were also comments like, “There are similarities between Mozart and Junsu’s characters. Also, the story and the significance of the struggle that the genius had to go through, also seem to be similar to TVXQ’s current situation.”
After the first performance ended, the venue became like a concert hall, with cheers and standing ovations for the musical. For the fans that have been worried about TVXQ’s possible disbandment, this is one of the few good news that they’ve had in awhile.

[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.
