[Tohoshinki] ~The Secret Code of 5 Gods from the East ~ 7th Thread ~

AyUmIXx · #1 23rd February 2009, 11:10 AM

Welcome to thread part 7

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.

thanks for liking the topic starter..
since the other threads have been so creative..so i kept on thinking to make more creative one wahuahua lol

what do u think of the new Survivor PV??

rookies · #5 23rd February 2009, 12:06 PM

^ I think the PV is good, but the song is okay.

It's not as good as Mirotic though, hmm... maybe I'll have to listen to it more for the song to grow on me.

I liked Mirotic during the first listen cus the song was so catchy, and also the lyrics were good. "I got you... under my skin". Most memorable lyric in that song. <3

With "Survivor", I can't find anything catchy about it yet. Hmm...

Neferet · #6 23rd February 2009, 02:11 PM

YAY!!!! New thread!!! ^___^
I love the PV and the song is awesome!!! It's soooo catchy!!!!

English Lyrics

Everytime, everyday
everybody now is a survivor
Looking for everywhere
In this case, don't give up

Standing up from here
searching for the light
Together we have a chance
to change, so let's try
oh baby let's try

With One Smile
you find a heart Shine on me
Two Smiles
that we can join, Shine on me
Shine like the world does
Smile, Smile
Survive, Survivor!

Even if you're going
on a u-turn, it's not so bad
remember something important
Being alone is too hard
We can unite our feelings / thoughts to begin
Oh baby we can

Somewhere there's One Dream
With the main aim to Still (going) on
Two Dreams for a Brand new world
and someone to love
Dream Dream
Let's hug

With One Love
Tomorrow can be So easy
Two Love(s)
that we can join to Be happy
believe in yourself
Love Love
Survive, Survivor

Everyone is a Survivor
Together we are Survivors
Smile and dream now
Everybody Everybody night

With One Smile
you find a heart Shine on me
Two Smiles
that we can join,
Shine like the world does
Smile, Smile
Let’s hug

With One Love
Tomorrow can be So easy
Two Love(s)
that we can join to Be happy
believe in yourself
Love Love
Survive, Survivor

GRACE · #10 24th February 2009, 01:57 AM

D: I'm still not feeling Survivor. I don't know why, especially since JJ had great solo parts....

Huaka · #11 24th February 2009, 05:46 AM

OMG, I love Survivor! The song is great. The video's alright. When they're dancing in white I'm just like... ROFL. This is so not impressing me. Haha.

Survivor is okay. Not my favorite Tohoshinki song. I have to admit though the chorus is very catchy.

I wonder if they will be cooking on next week's SMAPxSMAP, hehe.

And from that preview, looks like they will sing with SMAP, cus I've seen past SMAPxSMAP episodes, and the members of SMAP always join together with the music artist to sing songs together.

AyUmIXx · #20 25th February 2009, 12:15 PM

the translation of the lyric~

Everytime, everyday, anybody is now a Survivor
Looking for everywhere in this situation of things now, don't give up
Start looking for the light from here
Change the opportunities together, Let's try!

In your heart One smile If you find it, Shine on me
Two smile if it repeats, Shine on me
Just like how the world shines, Smile Smile
Survive on, Survivor

Even if you linger on the streets, Not so bad
Forgot something important, Remember
Even if its something you can't do alone
Start when it suits your mood, We can
Oh baby we can!
Faraway, that One dream, don't know when its still on
Two dream, set out now Brand new world
Just like loving someone Dream Dream
Hug tightly

In your heart One Love, maybe tomorrow will be So easy
Two love, tightly interlinked, Be happy
Survive on, Survivor

Everyone is a Survivor
Move on together, Survivor
Everybody Everybody Night

In your heart One smile If you find it, Shine on me
Two smile if it repeats, Shine on me
Just like how the world shines, Smile Smile
Live on, Survivor
Survive on in a tight hug

In your heart One Love, maybe tomorrow will be So easy
Two love, tightly interlinked, Be happy
Just like believing in yourself, Love Love
Survive on, Survivor

Too bad the lyrics don't really make sense to me XD
