They got you under their skins ~ 6th thread ~
 
i've seen that no one create the new thread so here am i~

Welcome to thread part 6

Basic Introduction
TVXQ an acronym for Tong Vfang Xien Qi (東方神起), is a quintet South Korean boy band formed under SM Entertainment in 2003, and later introduced to Japan under Avex Trax in 2005. Since their debut, TVXQ has become one of the most popular singing groups in East Asia, gaining great popularity in South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and other East Asian countries.

TVXQ is referred to as Dong Bang Shin Ki (동방신기) in South Korea; fans often abbreviate the name to DBSK. The Japanese equivalent of the group's name is Tohoshinki, which is promotionally only used in Japan. TVXQ, the acronym based on the Chinese counterpart of their name, is the abbreviation officially used on all products and advertisements outside of Japan. TVfXQ is also used, but not often. Their name roughly translates as "Rising gods of the East." (동방의 신이 일어나다)

Musical Style
TVXQ was initially marketed as an a cappella group, most of the group's music is mainstream K-pop and J-pop. Their debut single "Hug" was a bubblegum pop song, but their follow up single "The Way U Are" was a dance/R&B number, complete with stylized outfits and choreographed dance moves. Their third major single release, "믿어요" (I Believe), in contrast, was a ballad. TVXQ concluded the year with a Christmas album that also had an a cappella version of "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring". With their releases in 2004, the group showed a versatility in style.

With consecutive releases, they have not moved from this formula, as their second and third albums have had a similar mixture without moving outside of the mainstream. The second album's singles, for example, included a dance song (their first release) and a ballad (their follow up). The third album's releases have been dance, ballad and pop tracks. The group also recorded a cappella tracks for official albums released in both Korea and Japan, in which they rearrange original songs as a cappella versions. In the 13th single released in Japan, TVXQ arranged their debut single 'Hug' as an a cappella track and performed it in their 2nd Live Tour in Japan.

In Japan, the group's image and music has shifted towards a different market from the one in South Korea. Owing to their more mature fan base in Japan, TVXQ has gravitated towards a cappella and melodic pop songs rather than the heavy and fast pop tunes, coupled with intensive dance choreography, that are commonly seen in their usual hits in South Korea.

i 100% agree :D and i just love new singles in general, so i'm always expecting something, lol.

salutcben 20th November 2008 12:49 AM

I agree that their *** albums are overall better, though Mirotic is really good, but i also understand that they must have some Korean activities once in a while, it's their birth country, and they're pretty popular there.

Think if some of your favorite local artist just leave your country for 2 or 3 years, how will you feel, and see what happened to BoA, i think nobody's really waiting for a Korean comeback after so much time spent in Japan, it's like a betrail to her Korean Fans, isn't it?

AyUmIXx 20th November 2008 03:50 PM

Beauty4123, that pic is when they're doing their MIROTIC chin dance haha..and the pic is for SAY NO TO SMOKING campaign :)

yeaa..gotta agree with some of u here..that i prefer their Japanese songs more than their Korean songs... therefore i started to like the boys because they also sing Japanese songs.. i hope that they will release a new Japanese album next year!! :D

but their MIROTIC album isn't that bad :) :)

anyway, their performance at today's 29th BLUE DRAGON AWARDS 2008

VAL, do u like the performance of MUSIC BANK?
goshh they're so coooooool!!
the best performance for that i could say!

Sundae 22nd November 2008 12:57 AM

I like the way the camera zooms out and they just slide into place at the beginning. I always love the way they play to the camera.

chocopockymaster 22nd November 2008 04:01 AM

They need to stop changing their hairstyles...I wouldn't classify myself as a 'fan', but I'm hopelessly in love with 'Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimatta n Darou' (I rediscovered it after hearing it for the first time when I saw them perform it at a-nation this summer) and since I'm still relatively new to this whole Tohoshinki thing, their hair is the only way I can tell them apart. T^T So when they change their hairstyles, I'm back at square one! Blaaah...

Beauty4123 22nd November 2008 04:19 AM

the only time i've ever liked all of their hairstyles was in the "T" era. after that, it kinda went a bit downhill, lol.

i'm such a bad fan.

AyUmIXx 22nd November 2008 07:03 AM

chocopockymaster, hahaha yea, they love to change their hairstyles a lot of time.. Hero/Jae Joong is used to be the member who always changes the hairstyle, but this year, to everyone's surprise, specially these recent months, he doesn't change at all~ weird~ maybe he's still filming his first series... but it's always nice to see them changing hairstyles.. if u got to know more, u'll get used to it :)

Beauty4123, haha not a bad fan.. the hairstyles that i like is from Five in the black album.. that's super cool!!!

Kaiouforever, oh can u find the MIROTIC version C photobook on that link?

Sundae 22nd November 2008 10:26 PM

If they do release a completely new song rather than a japanese version of Wrong Number or whatever other Korean song, then it would make sense that the album would be released in first half of the year.

DBSK MAKES HISTORY
Currently the ones shining in Korea and Asia is DBSK. DBSK's 4th album MIROTIC has taken over the number one spot in Korea, Japan, Thailand and etc. Last October DBSK took 1st place in weekly Oricon chart and had highest album sales for foreign artists in Thailand.

DBSK on the 15th in "2008 M.Net KM Music Festival" had won ALBUM of the Year, the highest Daesang, as well as took over the BIG5 awards even with the long out of country activites, without a shake, and without a doubt. They have once again took over the title of Korea's Best Idol Group and have proven this so.

On the 20th in the Hanteo Charts, DBSK 4th album hit 300,000 album sales. SM.ENT company has announced, however, that they have reached 360,000 currently. (T/N: HANTEO charts updates are slower.)

With the current state of digital sales being over album sales, DBSK's ability to sell over 300,000 album is truly amazing and meaningful. This year has been the best year for artists/idols passing 100,000 album sales, with Kim Dong-Yul, Big Bang, Brown Eyes, Seo Taiji and more passing record sales of 100,000, the amount of sales for DBSK has surpassed even this.

In reality, the image of idol group is not that of an artist, but just singers with visual looks. Because of this idol group's music are considered not sophisticated enough among korean music fans.

However this is not the case for DBSK. For DBSK, starting with their debut in 2004, all of their 4 albums sales have been around 300,000.

DBSK BREAKS 'IDOL - COLORED SINGERS' IMAGE. (T/N: colored - great on the outside..not much going on in reality)
Korean music critic Mr. Kim said that DBSK has the most loyal fans among any idol groups and this is why they were able to accomplish this even during the hard hit time when album sales were worst for singers in 2004.

Kim said "DBSK's fans, instead of going with the new digital sales, stay with purchasing albums very strictly, and through this they show that believe and know that to support their favorate artist and to show their respect, purchasing the album is the best way to support them"

By buying albums Korean fans and music lovers show that they really appreciate and agree that the quality of the music is in high standards.

Kim said "Big Bang and Wonder Girls debuted around time when digital sales were normal and DBSK had debuted around time when album sales were still popular. So the fans know, are used to, and understand more how important purchasing albums are and they stick with tradition"

And DBSK does not just have fans in the 10's but also all throughout the 30's. Because they have a wide age range in fans, it helps their albums sell more, especially since image of a more mature and manly DBSK has appealed to fans in the 20's as well.

WHY DBSK POPULAR IN ASIA
DBSK are able to gain popularity not just in korea because they are a group with everything: image, vocals, and dance skills. This is a rare case. Starting from their debut, DBSK has always shown the most powerful stage performances with lives. Starting 3 years ago, DBSK had been doing small concerts in Japan to get used to stepping into areas of unfamiliarity. Their live performances are the best. Their tall bodies and idol facial images is what DBSK adds to their talents.

Music critic Im Jin Mo has said "in DBSK's case, their image and performance as well as music has nothing for the critics to pick on. We can't really find a bad point about them to bash about. Especially with this 4th album - it has helped DBSK and people to realize how much DBSK appeals to fans all over Korea and Asia."

KIM "The reason DBSK is being accepted as artists in Japan even with their idol looks is because of their skills." "There are no idol groups in Japan that has everything from looks, great vocals and perfect dance performaces, this is why DBSK appeals to them. They are filling that empty spot for the Japanese fans."

Kim Ki Woong (MNET CP) "DBSK is a group that has surpassed the 1st generation idols H.O.T."

UNIT GROUPS SOLOS? NO! Reason is DBSK's stubborness.
Many idols currently are busy doing solo work as well as unit groups, but DBSK has never publicly done solo works.

Unit performances can definitely help the group to gain more popularity among various categories in the entertainment industry, but this can also bring negative effect to the groups. Also the image of solo work can get in way with the image of the members in groups as a whole too.

SM ENTERTAINMENT has said "DBSK will not be doing any SOLO work in the future or neither do we have any plans for it" "DBSK is a group that puts GROUP and TEAM first. "

MBC MUSIC CORE PD
"DBSK is like fusion food. You can put them anywhere in Asia and they will still be on top."
- Their vocal stills are really great. They have surpassed the past image of idols. They also are very good at keeping their group image. Since their debut I have never seen their image crumble and this is rare to see a group that have kept their image well this long... The reason why they were able to do this is because DBSK members are a very hard working group and they don't give up. They must be extremely tired with their schedule but I've never seen them show their weak side ever. Even when I meet them to have a conversation during recording, they always show high energy.

SBS INKIGAYO PD
"They are an idol's dream as well as an idol's end." (T/N: meaning they are what all idols wish to be what they dream about, and DBSK will end the idol world themselves meaning they will carry their fame till the end.)

- DBSK's performance, charisma, music, and visual image are best. They've shown a lot more relaxation onstage recently but their performance energy has gotten bigger. Are there any groups that can compare their talents with DBSK right now?

M.NET COUNTDOWN PD
"DBSK is Korea's representing idols because they are the highest idols of our country. They are at the top of the peak."

DBSK has surpassed the image of the 1st generation H.O.T. Their performance and music has been upgraded. Especially DBSK'S MIROTIC-Jumun; there are no groups or singers that can actually be able to do this music and actually make it look good as DBSK does. Their 'pose' on stage isn't something you can joke around about.

Temari_2 25th November 2008 11:53 PM

Not sure if any of you heard this but there are rumors going around that Changmin was attacked by an anti fan at the Kimpo airport

Apparently when TVXQ was at the Kimpo airport a few days ago, two chinese anti-fans approached Changmin, yelled at him and hit him on the head. There really isn't much evidence of this actually happening. People are making these accusations off of a fan video where the boys turn around and see some commotion happening in the background (where Changmin was) and also some photo's of Changmin adjusting his beanie on his head.

Here's a video below

^Why are people so freaking mean to THSK???

brand new love 26th November 2008 12:28 AM

i heard about it on the dbsg lj community (though the entry was deleted for drama lol). i'm not going to automatically assume that it did happen, but honestly, it looks like it did. :no a bag is obviously thrown at him at the beginning of the video and the people around him seem to be a bit too worried for him to just be adjusting his hat.

AyUmIXx 26th November 2008 12:36 AM

Temari_2, yea.. bout that incident.. actually everything is still rumor.. never really know what exactly happened on that day...
still got no any fancams where we got to see the girls hitting Changmin..
but just praying that Changmin is ok with it :)

oh well..more pics of them at the press conference!

many versions of that incident..

Spoiler:
some said, he was not hit by the antifan, some said he was hit..
but for sure, the girls shouted cursed words towards him (or maybe to all the boys..)
my opinion is that, the girls are antifans of the boys..

but other version said that those girls are Jae's fans...maybe they don't like Changmin or something..

also...... some said, they're new fans of the boys...
and the reason of why they were doing the attack was because JaeMin scolded them before when at the time, don't know where, JaeMin were about to go the toilet and those two girls were stalking them to the toilet too..so Jae was mad at first but not really mad though, Changmin who was the one who really really mad at those girls and scolded them real loud..
so the girls pissed off....
(gosh who wouldn't mad if we got stalked by someone to the toilet?? it's a privacy!)

so, they planned to attack JaeMin at the airport.. but Changmin was the one who was targeted maybe because he was on the back? and Jae was already up to the escalator?


i think those fancams bout the incidents have been deleted so that ppl will just forget about it.. so i think we'll have to forget about it too..
i believe that the boys are not even thinking about it.. they must be so happy about NHK KOUHAKU now!

Temari_2 26th November 2008 06:14 PM

I think they'll surprise us like they did with Box in the ship (Boxin' the sheep:D). We all thought it would be a bad song since the title was weird, but it's actually a nice summer song (which they didn't sing live:irked).
We'll just wait and see:yes Or maybe the want to satisfy their Spanish fans:P Imagine them in the costumes of the male dancers in appears from Asia Tour 2007:roflmao:innocent

Sundae 1st December 2008 06:00 AM

MIROTIC deemed harmful to Korean youths

Quote:

According to sources, the Commission of Youth Protection usually examines around 100 songs every month to see if they are harmful or detrimental to youths in Korea. But this is the first time that their scope is targeted specifically towards popular mainstream singers in Korea right now. In the last month, among the 110 songs that they have examined, 32 of them were Korean songs which was a new record in recent years. The reason for banning Mirotic was the same as Rainism in that part of the lyrics were inappropriate.

The ruling will come into effect from 4th December with the song being banned from playing on tv or radio before 10pm. The Mirotic album will have stickers affixed to them that indicates “unsuitable for people under 19 years old”. The song lyrics will have to be modified if they are going to perform this during concerts or events. Action will be taken if any of the above are flouted.

Although affected singers and their companies have expressed that they will adhere to the ruling, they can’t fathom the reasoning behind the ban.

Industry critics feel that this will only heap more misery on the already suffering music industry. And one wonders if the “19-only” stickers restricting the sale of affected albums will actually have any effect. DBSK for example are already done with promoting Mirotic and are actually in the midst of promoting their follow-up song Wrong Number. With album sales already exceeding 300,000, it also means that most of their fans have already gotten the album already.

A Disney-friendly Korean music industry in future? Hope not.

Dear Commission of Youth Protection,

You have failed in protecting Korean youths. 300,000 plus albums of MIROTIC have already been sold. These songs have already infiltrated the minds of young Koreans.


Seriously though. How useless is this decision?

AyUmIXx 1st December 2008 11:43 AM

YUIAyuNamieUtada, thanks for those links :)
i'm about to watch the full show now... :)
gosh they sang MIROTIC Japanese version live..that's just so cool..
and i feel like it's even better than the Korean version :)
and LITI..gosh~~ going to watch now!

Sundae, woahhh that's just so ridiculious..i mean... the album has been released two months now..and why they just investigate like just NOW? weirdd~~
i think it's only some jealolus ppl who don't want the boys to win at Gold Disk Awards ~~
and i don't even think MIROTIC contains such explicit/sexual words... the lyric's meaning is just fine~

kawaii otaku 1st December 2008 03:22 PM

Ouch that's ridiculous.

Let's compare "Mirotic" to a few American songs like "Love in This Club" or even Kumi Koda's "Ima Sugu Hoshii" ...

Temari_2 2nd December 2008 03:08 AM

I read about this yesterday and I was laughing so hard they also did the same thing to Rain's song "Rainism" because his talks about his magic stick.

Kawaii Otaku you honestly think "Love in this Club" has bad lyrics? Have you ever the song "How Many Licks?" by Lil' Kim

AyUmIXx 2nd December 2008 06:50 AM

a ballad again :)
it's a live version..

東方神起 ドラマチックバラード Bolero
December 01, 2008 19:49:11

テーマ:日記


こんばんは。
本日は、NHKにてMUSIC JAPANの収録で東方神起です。

今日は、早くも、1月のシングルより、Boleroを歌唱します。
テレビ用なので、ちょっと短いので、、、残念なのですが、メンバーがんばって歌います!

ちょうど、コメントに「Love in the Ice」という文字が多いので、今回の「Bolero」のご紹介を。
東方神起のもう1年半くらい前になりますトリプルA面シングルの3曲目に入っていた
「Love in the Ice」。
とても人気のある楽曲で、3rd LIVE TOURでは、アンコールの最後に熱唱し、韓国語ver.もつくられました。
作曲家は、今年デビューしたGIRL NEXT DOORのメンバーでもあります、
鈴木大輔氏です。

先日、TOHOSHINKI MOBILEのブログでもアップしましたが、メンバーと写真も撮ってますね。

今回のBoleroは、
作詞:ラムジ
作曲:鈴木大輔・冨田恵一

です。

6/8拍子の楽曲。タイトルのとおり。ドラマチックに展開する楽曲に、
メンバーのボーカルとストリングスが重なるバラードです。
全長は6分くらい、、、

なので、、、短いと分かりにくい曲なので、NHKホールで今日聞かれたみなさんは、消化不良になってしまう のでは、、、と思っています。

あさって、3日より、mu-mo、レコ直、dwango他、着うた®サイトで配信開始。
全部聞けるのは、ラジオと有線が今週末あたりからになる予定です。

お楽しみに!

東方神起 Bolero
December 01, 2008 19:49:11

Theme: Diary



Good evening.
Today was the recording of NHK Music Japan for 東方神起

And today, the new single [Bolero] for January was broadcast to all to listen.
Unfortunately, the program was a little short but the members would still continue singing.
Good Luck to them!

I want to comment on "Love in the ice" because of all the songs in "Bolero" are soon to be introduce.
It had been just a year and a half ago that "Love In the ice" was on the Triple-A-single tracks.
In the very popular tour, 3rd LIVE TOUR, the members sung it enthusiastically during the encore and a Korean ver had also been made of it.
The composer, Daisuke Suzuki had too made his debut this year as a member in GIRL NEXT DOOR.

Recently, TOHOSHINKI MOBILE are still updating in blogs, but please do remember to take photos with members too.


The Bolero,
Lyrics: RAMUJI
Composer: Suzuki, Daisuke Keiiti Tomita

A 6/8 time songs like the title is to be expanding dramatically in the music industry.
The members vocal and ballad overlaps well.
The overall length for this song is about 6 minutes...

So, i think that if everyone were to hear the short version of the song that was sung today, would be difficult to understand. NHK would be asking everyone in the hall today that if it was acceptable to hear such short version. I'm hoping it would be quite indigestion(meaning that T is hoping everyone would wants more of the new song so they could sing on the same stage again.)

(T/N: i understand what the staff is trying to say but...It was quite hard for me to repharse in this last part)

The day after tomorrow which is the 3rd of December, mu-mo, direct recording, dwango, wearing Uta ® would be having the Bolero up and going.
Do expect it to hear all the wired radio this weekend.

Enjoy!

Posted on December 1, 2008 at 07:15 PM

Ok, so does anyone remember the "boy band" days? Nsync, Backstreet Boys, New Kids On The Block, or any other group with three or more members, singing and busting out choreographed dance moves? Well, in the United States, the "boy band" era, for the most part, has faded away. But in Korea--it is as strong as ever! I couldn’t BELIEVE how HYSTERICAL people were for Korean Pop (a.k.a "K-Pop"). I spent a whole day surrounded by thousands of screaming teenage girls. I loved how excited they were to see their favorite K-Pop singers, but I think I lost most of my hearing by the end of the day. Lol. Just kiddin.

The thing that surprised me the most about some of the "adoring", "sweet", and "innocent" teenage girls was the things they SAID they would do to their pop star if they could get the chance! Lol. I was thinking "Girl! You are like, 15! How do YOU know what THAT is--or how to do that -- where the HECK is your mother!" Lol. I guess I underestimated the Korean youth.

While at the festival, I learned about all kinds of FAMOUS K-Pop bands like: Girls Generations, Shinee and a whole bunch more! But, the ONE band that I heard about every single second of the day was TVXQ, also known as: DONG BANG SHIN KI. They have a fan club of more than 800 thousand in Korea ALONE --that's not including the rest of the world!

When I told some K-Pop fans that I hung-out with TVXQ, I was immediately rushed and touched as though 'I' were them! I guess I didn't realize how FAMOUS they were at the time. Lol.

Well, if you're looking for a festival you can go to for great dancing, great singing, and lots of excitement...then I HIGHLY recommend the ASIA SONG FESTIVAL!

p.s. When I returned to the United States, I came across tons of blogs asking about a particular picture with TVXQ and myself (http://fuse.tv/ontv/shows/fuse-excel...ideshow&page=9).

People were asking why TVXQ was looking so mad or confused. It was neither. During the time of this picture, I was talking to my producer regarding my position in reference to the camera. Since TVXQ didn't speak English, they were just waiting for the translator (not in frame) to tell them what we were talking about. :-)

I had a GREAT time hanging out with them. They are all COOL dudes! We were laughing and joking around with each other almost the whole time. I hope I answered some of the questions that were asked. If I missed any... hit me up on my blog, and we'll talk!

Guess what? SM is releasing an edited version of MIROTIC. I wonder how will that sound like. What will they say in place of 'Under My Skin'?

It wasn't really the 'Under My Skin' part that got it banned, it was the "red ocean" and "crystals" supposedly representing the hymen and semen that got it banned.

Sundae 3rd December 2008 11:16 PM

Really I read in an article that ‘Jumun’, ‘nol kajjeosso’, then ‘i got you under my skin’ were pointed out as inappropriate by that Youth Protection Group. There were others but those were the ones mentioned.

ka♡ri. 3rd December 2008 11:17 PM

GRACE;; WHAT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!? :bbarf That song talks about stuff like that?!

VAL 4th December 2008 04:37 AM

bla bla bla xD with this song restriction haha

anyway! im happy that we will get a new version xDDD I hope this new song will be like the remix version of MIROTIC haha with the violins sounds!!

Melon Panda 4th December 2008 04:51 AM

But it's so catchy! Oh well. You know people are going to listen to it even more now.

Lullys 4th December 2008 04:52 AM

@AyUmIXx: I already knew about the "Don't Say Goodbye" performance, but I was guessing that the other song would be "Wrong Number". Where did you read that will be a new version of "MIROTIC"?

I think "MIROTIC" without the "under my skin" part would be very weird. Well, let's wait and see, hope I'm wrong and the new version is as good as the original one.

Can't wait for the "Don't Say Goodbye" performance too ♥

VAL, actually the new version of MIROTIC means only changing the lyric, because it's all about the lyric that matters to the Commission of Youth Protection.. so i don't think there will be a new version of MIROTIC in the term of music arrangement..but yeaa who knows!!! they will release the version like on MKMF08 in next repackaged album..

_ryopi 4th December 2008 02:30 PM

I hate Korea at times. Their priorities are all screwed up man!

They should concentrate on forcing the kids to go to friggin school rather than skip school to go to TV show recordings! Jeez. "I got you under my skin" is the best line from the song and how it's suggestive sexually...well you gotta read into it WAY too much. Morons. MIROTIC sucks now. Forever bound to listening to the CD and new live performances are gonna be awful. It wont surprise me if they stop showing flesh in performances/videos because they're too sexy for their prebusecent fans. >.>

AyUmIXx 4th December 2008 04:50 PM

those government ppl are just the way tooooooooo conservative themself~~
i mean.. totally makes a big fuss about it..
damn it!!!!
goshhh i really want to see the boys going sexy like their previous performances..and i bet most of the fans love them being sexy~

well, anywayyyy~~~
magically.. the album sales have reached 460.000 copies!!

[NEWS] TVXQ's Fourth Album Breaks 460,000 Copies (TVXQ/DBSK/Tohoshinki/東方神起/동방신기)

HOMG DBSK will perform Don't Say Goodbye tomorrow at KBS Music Bank!~ *spazz* can't wait!~

TVXQ's Fourth Album Breaks 460,000 Copies

TVXQ's fourth album has broken their sales record with 460,000 copies, taking the throne for CD sales. TVXQ's company announced on the 4th that the fourth album "Mirotic" had broken 460,000 copies. According to information provided by SM until 11-30, online sales had reached 163,346 copies, while offline sales had reached 303,468 copies, making total sales 466,814 copies.

This year's highest record sales by TVXQ is one that no one can catch up to, proving once again their power continued from 2006, when they took the highest CD sale records for the second time.

The 300,000 copies of their fourth album preorders were not just from Korea, but also from Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and other such Asian countries, taking over CD sales charts and showing TVXQ's power. TVXQ said, "Receiving everyone's love after coming back with another album in 1 year and 7 months is something we're really happy for. Right now we want to thank everyone who's supported us."
