Wow thanks for the HQ link! :D

And Jae-fish lips looks kinda adorable but it's so weird too, XD

Well for the lawsuit, it's apparent SM has also been trying to drag things... and this is a kind of case where it links back to a lot things; like they need to trace back how much they earn each year since 2004(5?) or so and all that, so it'll take some time, I guess, unfortunately. : /

MirrocleHeaven, woah thanks a lot!
and actually, i already have that one..i thought that the 320 kbps one..
there won't be 320 kbps right?
wondering when the original one release..

waterballoon, yeah.. i think the same.. feel like SM tries to be draggy all this long.. it's been almost 3 months now gosh!

Yeah they don't wanna admit they're money-grabbers. : /

i think there's no more HQ than the 128 kb. And that's the one from the itunes.

everytime i rad about the lawsuit, i think SM is full of demons and that work there must be like hell x_x they only think about money but not their artists

Oh it's sad there won't be a 320kpbs version, but there's only available if it's from a real CD or something, XD

And the thought of SM employing 15/16 year old teenagers (DBSK, BoA, definitely a lot more) to "debut" in an industry like entertainment is scary in the first place lol. The only merit SM has done is "create" DBSK. XD

well, SM has my favourite koreans bands ever lol (super junior, SNSD, SHINee, F(x) and llots more..) but still, they're evil! haha:no

Yeah they're so LOVE 'n' HATE LOL.

woah that's too bad that Endlessly Sweet won't have 320 kbps quality T__T
but i remember Ayu's digital single Together When... got the 320 kbps one right? and it even includes the instrumental...
hmmm i wonder why they don't release ES with cover and instrumental..
hmmm~~ weird2...

maybe because it's gonna be in their next album (whenever it's gonna be released :()
or maybe they'll add it as b-side on their next single

COLORS is at #8 today. Another top 10 weekly?

[TRANS] 091011 FRaU November Issue - Jejung and Yuchun Felt the Love from the Other Members

http://i35.tinypic.com/2rzxtec.png http://i35.tinypic.com/2cr7fwk.png

YuChun smiled shyly after being praised 'Sexy' by JeJung who peeked at him during his photoshoot. "I feel really great to be able to work on a music piece with someone who has the same goal as me. But our personalities are really different, I'm more introverted and not very sociable." YuChun who was saying that, seems compatible with the quiet deep ocean background during the photoshoot.

Mika Ninagawa said while pressing the shutter, "Though the atmosphere is quiet, it is not pressurizing. He gave people a sense of responsibility, gentleness and charm." Their single has included the desires to stand on the stage as 5 once again no matter what happens. "We have always been together as 5. As the others are not with us right now, it's embarrassing to say this (laugh~), but I felt the love from them. Therefore, I do not wish to forget the most important thing to me, and this song was written based on this feeling."

Mika Ninagawa expressed, "JeJung is like a big red and elegant flower, while YuChun is someone who has the ability to give others a sense of responsibility and charm even underneath his quiet exterior."

JeJung and YuChun from Tohoshinki, the legendary group, has just released their special unit single. Can you escape their ultimate charisma?
Photo taken by: Mika Ninagawa (T/N: A famous Japanese photographer ; her work pieces are versatile and dreamy, mostly through the use of 'flowers' and 'natural scenes' as the theme. For more information please CLICK)

JeJung and YuChun are famous all over Asia as they are members of Tohoshinki, a 5 member idol group from Korea. Tohoshinki debut in Korea at 2004, and Japan at 2005. This summer, they have also successfully ended their 4th live tour concert at Tokyo Dome. JeJung was born in 1986 and is the lead singer in the group. YuChun was born in 1986 and is in charge of the bass and rap in the group. Both their digital single [Endless Sweet] and single [COLORS~Melody and Harmony~] have been released on 23rd September and 30th September respectively.

Please enjoy our new style.

JeJung and YuChun formed a sub-unit and released a single [COLORS~Melody and Harmony~]. Today, both of them are here in the studio. "Though it is kind of lonely, at least YuChun is with me so I'm feeling better! We want to show everyone a new style of us which is different from when we are all together as 5", JeJung said. While YuChun was having his solo shoot, JeJung who was really mischievous, was disturbing him from the back of the backdrop setting. But once the actual shoot started, he immediately turned into someone who is serious and charming, seemingly like the prince who just walk out from a romance manga.

Mika Ninagawa said, "That's how someone, who is idolized by others, should be! His generous working attitude is really close to my style of working. A few of my works required him to pose in a regal manner, and he was willing to give it a try, which was really remarkable." JeJung who was posing while playing with the flower petals said, "The flower is still prettier than me ah~", which made everyone laugh. His presence always creates a cheerful atmosphere.

The 5 of them are very close... they are like Super Sentai LOL. Tohorangers, XD

Hmm COLORS seems to be shifting between #8 and #10 this week... so it should be Top 10 for the 2nd week!

lol Tohorangers. XDD
I love DBSK's group bond. Their group chemistry is undeniable. They feed off of each other's presence. I guess it has to do with the fact that the boys spent years together and went through hell and back with each other. I'm waiting for this whole lawsuit to blow over so I can see my five favorite boys together again.

[TRANS] Jaechun interview in Epop magazine issue 226 and 228

I only translated the more interesting parts, and skipped the usual questions that have been mentioned in other interviews.

Epop magazine issue 226

Q: During your break, what do you want to do most?

JJ: If it just rained, then I’d want to eat fried pancakes. Because in Korea, when it rains many people will eat fried pancakes haha! Of course, fried pancakes aren’t the main point during a break, it’s the computer! Hmm… when there’s free time (I’d) use the computer to compose some songs, look at pictures, chat with friends online, go online shopping and stuff… if not then I’ll listen to music! That said, my free time is usually spent on the computer! –laughs-

YC: I think I’ve said many times that I want to try making friends online? –chuckles- honestly, not really/I don’t really want to do that~ but recently I’ve made many new friends in Japan, so during my free time I’d like to hang out with them. I hope that I can live a similar lifestyle whether it’s in Korea or Japan.

Q: Hello Kitty’s official colours “red=close/intimate relationships”, “pink=cute”, “yellow=care” , “green=hope” , and “light purple=belief”. What do these colours remind you of?

JJ: Red reminds me of the members, and of course pink is Junsu! Because everything he does/every little action of his is naturally cute! –laughs- Yellow reminds me of our fans, though green doesn’t remind me of a person, but the Tokyo Dome~ I really want to continue doing concerts at Tokyo Dome! –chuckles- as for light purple… it reminds me of Hello Kitty?! Even when I was little I felt that the image Kitty gave off… it’s like a protective, warm embrace kind of feeling.

YC: Red… makes me think of the members who will continue having a very close relationship even in the future! And the cute pink is our fans, while yellow reminds me of the moments spent with fans in concerts. Green reminds me of my 18 year old brother, Yoohwan, and light purple represents the staff, although strict but guiding us all the while. –laughs-

Q: Then what colour makes Jaejoong feel relaxed and comfortable?

JJ: Black is not bad right? –laughs- Among so many bright colours, I don’t think there are any that makes me feel especially relaxed~ when it rains, don’t you feel safer/more secure? (Interviewer: really?) yes, I feel that way. But when it rains, I’ll be at home!

Q: How so?

JJ: Because when the weather is good I’d want to go out, and then I won’t be able to really take a rest. But if it rains, I’ll feel really calm, and staying at home will be more comfortable. Listening to music in a dark room, I’ll be able to fall asleep comfortably. Not only black, I think most dark colours can make me feel relaxed.

Q: What do you think is the difference between ‘like’ and ‘love’?

JJ: This is a hard question... Hmm... I feel that love is a feeling that suddenly flows out of you and it's very precious, whereas love is a feeling that makes your heart beat really quickly, it's a feeling that can't be found back once it's gone, it's more of a superficial kind of feeling. There are flaws in romance, but love is perfect. Romance is something you can’t be sure of yet, but true love can persevere... ahhh this is so complicated! To sum it up, romance is when after two people have gone through thick and thin together, and have confirmed to become a love that will never change no matter what happens. Yes, it’s like this!

YC: Like is a kind of coincidence. when hard work is put into this coincidence, it will slowly become a more mature feeling, that's when it becomes love. The feeling of ‘like’ between two people will always be present, but the ‘love’ that is formed from it after hard work is most precious... This is how I feel –smiles- Like during Christmas last year, when I just woke up and saw my mum, brother and his girlfriend making salad in the kitchen, the happiness portrayed by them made me feel ‘love’. Love may not be that great of a thing, but it really does exist. Even in a little happiness like this, a little love can accumulate little by little, and will bloom into a family! –laughs-

Epop magazine issue 228

Q: What do you think is the charm of each other’s voices?

YC: Just listening to Jaejoong’s sweet melodious voice, I bet all the girls will be mesmerized!

JJ: Yoochun has a very handsome voice, whether it’s a happy or sad song, he can convey the message perfectly.

Q: What message is the song (Colours) trying to convey?

JJ: Although I don’t know if everyone can get happiness through this song, but for those who listen to it I think they’ll be in a good mood (when listening to it). Especially a song like this that will make people feel relaxed, everyone must listen to it while taking the bus or the subway in the morning. The busy streets might look different to you! There was once when I was listening to this song, and a mosquito bit my wrist. I thought, ‘Since this mosquito has such a short life, it’s alright to let it suck a bit of blood.’ Haha!

YC: Me too, I listen to this in the morning, while sitting in the coffee shop eating bread~ Even if it’s people I don’t know, if our eyes meet, I’d greet them too. I’d feel really happy!

Q: What’s the most accidental/unexpected thing that’s happened so far in your collaboration?

YC: Before I thought Jaejoong’s voice and mine were the most different among the members. But after singing together we realized that unexpectedly our voices match, the feeling (atmosphere) of our singing is also similar. It’s really surprising!

JJ: Like Yoochun said, when the five of us sing together, Yoochun’s voice and my voice are the most different. Instead I thought Changmin’s voice and Yoochun’s voice matched the most, but after singing together with Yoochun I realized that there are similarities between our voices, and our voices complement each others.

Q: How do you usually compose songs?

JJ: It depends, our house has all the basic equipments to make demos. Usually I’ll think up a tune and hum along, and if it’s a good melody I’ll quickly record it. Yoochun composes with the piano. If the other members are there too, then we’ll gather by the piano and sing together.

YC: I compose while playing the piano. So I usually compose more ballads and mid-tempo songs.

Q: What are your favourite colours?

JJ: Black!
YC: White!

Q: Is there a certain colour theme for your rooms?

YC: I have many black coloured wine/knickknack shelves in my room. I designed them myself, but it’s really a bother to clean them –laughs-

JJ: The colours in my room are really messy –laughs-

YC: Not only the colours, his whole room is messy! –laughs- Jaejoong’s room, even if he cleans up a bit, it’ll still be messy. That’s because he piles up all his clothes on the bed, like a small hill!

JJ: If I’m gonna clean up, I’d start with the bed first. But I always get lazy half way through, and at night I’d run to Yoochun’s room and sleep with him! –laughs-

lol Jaejoong and the mosquito! He and Junsu are the two members that make me go "WTF" everytime they speak. XDD They can be so weird sometimes, but I love it. XD

Omg the mosquito comment was epic. XD I can't think of that when I see one sucking my blood though! And ia with JaeJung... Junsu's the pink hello kitty. XD

tohorangers? lol that's so funny!
i really liked the interview !! the mosquito comment is epic! :D

JaeJoong acts so... gay and yet I don't think he is.

lol I don't think he is. I think the fact that he grew up with 8 sisters may have something to do with how he acts sometimes.

^ You are right, he is the mama of the group. He kind of gives me an old man vibe at times too lol.

Old man vibes? lol.
Many fans who have seen DBSK live have said that Jaejoong actually gives off the most manly aura, which is funny considering he's the prettiest onscreen. I guess it's just one of those "you have to be there to experience it" thing. XD

i don't find jae gay at all... for me he's the most manly with junho :heart
the only gay alike is Changmin (yeah, 'couse he's mine! :P)

i also don't find Jae gay at all..
at first, i thought he was though..since he had that long freaky hairstyle in the year 2004-2005, specially the Miduhyoh period (sorry for ppl who love that hairstyle),
but the more i get to know about the boys, well through interviews, performances and etc.... i finally found that Jae doesn't act girly.. and he's so manly.. i think Jae is a metrosexual man.. you know..man who cares about style..fashion..and himself.. and that's hot! haha :D
he just has that pretty face on him.. sometimes i'm sad that ppl tend to think he's gay when they see his pics... majority of the ppl that i show them Jae.. but never mind.. blame to his pretty face hahaha lol :D but i love his look though... i love his coldness..

and i believe the other boys are so manly too..
