Seek Shelter in the 10th Tohoshinki thread and enjoy their melodies & harmonies...

Welcome to Tohoshinki/DBSK/TVXQ's 10th Thread at AHS



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 am sure the DVD will sell very well!!! Hopefully No 1!!!

I think it will sell well. But let's see...!

Ahhh, labello! The Mirotic album is great!!! <333 I have it too, the first version without the DVD. Which version are you going to buy? Repackage??

A neat first post!

And wow I don't have any DBSK stuff too, but I'm aiming my first purchase to be the DVD of The Secret Code Tour... and I'm going to Thailand soon... I think I'll buy some stuff there if they have.

Oh btw, does anyone have really HQ or clear scans/pictures of the Mirotic Tour Photobook? You know the one with them having guns... The ones I have are really grainy.... : /

MirrocleHeaven* You are sooo lucky to get it as a b-day present, mine was in may T.T~

Neferet I am not sure which version I want to buy >.<
The CD+Photobook version looks great It is quite cheap, only 11€ and free shipping (But they ship it in 21 days!!! )
Or the version C, which would be great too but I'd like to have the photobook~

Version A
Version C

I think I'll get the version A, the cover is awesome and the I don't care that much about the new songs added in the version C since I already downloaded them.
Thanks for the help

I third the waterballon's request, the pictures are great but I only saw grainy ones
