JYJ Albums In The Market To Be Recalled If Injunction Is Accepted.. D-Day Is The 18th

Which side will the Seoul District Courts favor?
Sports Korea has verified the reason, content and future of SM's injunction.

It was on the 8th that SM filed an album sales prohibition injunction against JYJ's first album. At the current moment, it cannot be known whether or not the Seoul District Courts will accept the injunction and consider it valid.

The issue at hand between SM and JYJ seems to be the scope of the independent activities JYJ won in their legal dispute with their agency. It can be predicted that both sides will engage in a fierce legal battle regarding this matter.

At the hearing on the 11th, Warner Music Korea, the distribution company in charge of JYJ's first album , stated, "We see the selling of this album as an act that is allowed according to the previous verdict made on the injunction filed by JYJ against SM that gave JYJ the freedom to pursue independent activities." It was told that the Courts seemed to agree with this statement.

It is difficult to predict the Courts' verdict at this current moment. However, it looks like the Courts' views formed from the hearing may determine the future of the injunction. JYJ's album was released in the market on the 14th. If the Courts' accept SM Entertainment's injunction as valid, all of the albums in the market will be recalled.

Both sides will be submitting additional documents till the 18th. The verdict is expected to be made later this month.

JYJ vows brand new beginning to fans

The end usually opens the door for a new beginning. For boy band JYJ, however, a new beginning reflects many things: the past, the present and the future.

JYJ is comprised of Jae-joong, Yu-chun and Jun-su, the former members of one of Korea’s and Asia’s favorite boy bands TVXQ. After a long feud with their former agency SM Entertainment regarding ``slave contract’’ issues, the three idol stars have finally launched a brand new band, poised to leap again with a new album and a showcase in Seoul.

The three may have left the group, but their fans certainly haven’t left them. Some 10,000 fans packed the Hwajeong Stadium, Korea University, from top to bottom Tuesday night, to the extent where it was a bit worrisome. The area filled up instantly with young fans resembling pouring soda into a cup, and while the fans in the front dangled on the security guardrail, the ones in the back constantly moved forward to find a better position to watch the stars.

As soon as the lights went out, the three members appeared center stage, all dressed in black with rather determined expressions on their faces.

Without saying a word to the cheering fans, the trio sang ``Empty,’’ a track composed by famed producer Rodney ``Darkchild’’ Jerkens. The funky electronic number with a catchy punch is one of the 10 tracks that will be on the group’s first album ``The Beginning.’’

All recorded in English, the new record was produced by Jerkens himself, who has worked with some of the world’s most famous artists including Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, while some songs were written by hip-hop artist Kanye West as well as the band members.

``This (was) a very special project for us,’’ the producer said during a short video of the trio recording an album in Los Angeles, and it was easy to see that the experience of working with top musicians helped the members bring out a new side ― groovy and sophisticated with a hint of hip-hop.

As soon as the trio continued with the track ``Be the One,’’ it was easy to see that they were in pretty good shape. Their vocals were almost flawless: not too strong and rough like their previous TVXQ number ``Mirotic,’’ but a lot smoother and easier to listen to. Having only three voices, compared to the original five, did create a bit of a void, but JYJ managed to fill it with fancy and fluent dance moves. Yu-chun’s performance was particularly meaningful, as the 24-year-old has been working on his moves and vocals while shooting the currently airing drama ``Sungkyunkwan Scandal.’’

The R&B number ``Be My Girl’’ was a present for their fans, and it was evident the audience loved every minute of it as they screamed and reached out when the singers crooned ``you should be mine.’’

Throughout the showcase, which included two more songs plus the original soundtrack number from Yu-chun’s television drama, it was hard not to notice the excitement, joy and also some nerves on the three members’ faces. Nervous and complicated their minds may be, however, the concert was the perfect way to show fans, and the world, that they were starting all over, feud or no feud.

``The only way for us to communicate with our fans was through an album. I was worried if we would be able to continue to bring that channel to all of you, but now I think we can,’’ Jun-su said during a short interview session.

At one point, the young men looked as if they would cry, but they held back their tears and assured their fans that they were back, and back for good.

``Thank you,’’ Jae-joong started out but gave a long pause.

``There has been a lot going on and I believe there will be much more happening soon. We wanted to go on stage so bad and it was hard not being able to do so. We want to get busy and create something that you can all relate to and this record is the start of that vow,’’ he said.

The video they shot in LA showed the three singers rehearsing with artists and the producer. For the fans, this was indeed a treat since it was the first official video that showed them what they have been doing for the past months. With the local press making various speculations concerning their relationship with TVXQ and their former agency, the video assured fans that the young artists were not just reading media articles, depressed and killing time, but were actually working hard to bring something completely new, especially for the fans.

``We wanted to hold the microphone. All the albums we have worked on have special meanings, but this one required more thought and worries. We are so happy to be busy and we are grateful to the fans that helped us get back on track. Thank you,’’ Yu-chun said, waving to the crowd.

The group, whose new album can now be found in major record shops, will continue the showcase tour in nine different locations, including Thailand and the United States.

Meanwhile, SM Entertainment filed an injunction on Oct. 8 to prohibit the sales of JYJ’s new album. The agency said Wednesday that signing a contract with C-JES Entertainment was prohibited before any ruling on the case.

[News] Park Min-young closest to Micky Yoochun on set

It sounds like the Joseon era F4 is establishing a good rapport on the set of the upcoming drama Sungkyunkwan Scandal. In a recent interview, actress Park Min-young said that she grew close to Micky Yoochun the fastest, and that along with Song Joong-ki and Yoo Ah-in, the four of them are as tight as siblings.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Production is well under way, and the four stars who are of similar ages became fast friends and are reportedly stuck to each other like glue. Park met Micky Yoochun for the first time on the set of the drama, but she said, “From the start, because Yoochun and I have the most scenes together, we were the first to become friends. Because the set was unfamiliar, I was thinking I should be the first to say, ‘Let’s be comfortable with each other.’” [This is another way of saying, let's speak banmal.]

Park: “…But Yoochun and I both have bright, outgoing personalities, so without even having a chance to say the words, we quickly became like friends who had known each other for years. As I started acting I became more outgoing so I’m not a shy person, but Yoochun is really not shy at all. He has a great personality. He always thinks of other people and he’s a deep person, and a considerate friend.”

About Song Joong-ki and Yoo Ah-in, and the foursome, she said, “It’s like moving up a grade and meeting new friends. Because I’m dressed like a boy, more and more it seems like they’re treating me like a brother. During production when actors have good relationships it can be a great deal of strength, and our personalities fit well together and the mood is always jovial, so I’m thankful for that.”

PD Kim Yun-sung said, “The actors’ ages are roughly the same, so they all became friends quickly, without reservations, making the mood on set always bright. The staff always jokes that they’re the modern version of their characters. I think we can happily anticipate good things.”

Park’s character in the drama cross-dresses to attend the school, and makes friends with the others, becoming one of the boys. Micky Yoochun’s character is known for sticking to his principles, Yoo Ah-in plays the hopeless screw-up, and Song Joong-ki plays Joseon’s Number One Playboy.

This? Should be awesome.

The campus-fusion-sageuk Sungkyunkwan Scandal airs after Gumiho: Tale of the Fox’s Child completes its run, and premieres on KBS, August 30.

Trans] 100811 SHINee’s Minho Talks About Changmin And Their Relationship

40-45 minutes into the radio interview

Jonghyun: If not, then let me ask you in another way; Minho’s closest member in TVXQ, Choikang Changmin said “Our explosive charismatic Minho ah~ your hyung can’t sleep right now, so can you sing a song for me?”
Onew: Wait, this is Changmin senior…
Jonghyun: Sorry, Changmin teacher said it. What song would Minho sing for Changmin?
Key: It must be hard
Minho: Honestly, Changmin has been pretty depressed lately…
Jonghyun: Just what did Minho sing to Changmin?
Minho: Changmin-hyung has a song he really likes, but doesn’t listen to it often because it’s his cellphone ringtone… I’m the one who listens to it more so I sang it to him
Jonghyun: What song is it?
Minho: It’s called “Confession of a Passionate Man”. ‘It’s not like that, my heart isn’t like that, for you, only left with a prepared confession, if it isn’t just my love for you, compared to this, I have more romantically sweet words in store…’
Jonghyun: That was well sang. We’ll clap 3 times, but ‘tallest Chang-god’…
Everyone: HAHAHA
Jonghyun: So this was for ‘tallest Changmin senior’?
Minho: Yes
Jonghyun: ‘It’s not like that, my heart isn’t like that…’
Minho: No, this is just the song I wanted to sing
Onew: The people who are listening to this radio show right now may misunderstand their relationship. Some people took Minho’s back for a girl’s, so photos of him and Changmin sitting together were mistook as Changmin’s rumored girlfriend. How did you feel when you first heard of this?
Minho: Very imposing, that was my first rumor ever
Jonghyun: Your first rumor was with TVXQ’s tallest Changmin, and then the song you wanted to sing for him was “Confession”

Minho: At that time, I was attending TVXQ’s Yunho senior’s Michael Jackson Memorial Concert performance. It was really cold that day, so I started talking with Changmin about the weather and such.
Jonghyun: Do you want to send him an audio message?
Minho: Why make an audio message all of a sudden?
Onew: If we let you do it, then you have to do it! We’re the DJ’s
Minho: My first rumor wasn’t with a girl, but rather, a guy. To me, it is a huge honor. However, because of the rumor, our relationship has become more cautious and demure. I hope it won’t be like this later on, because you are my most loved hyung, yet I’m still inadequate to be called your dongsaeng. I will do my best, and I wish we can continue to maintain our relationship in the future.

[Trans] 100705 Xiah Junsu hospitalized in LA

TVXQ group member Xiah Junsu was hospitalized in Los Angeles at around 10 PM on the 3rd.

Xiah Junsu had been suffering from a very high fever and fatigue since the afternoon. Staff members and company associates rushed him to the ER as his symptoms began to worsen. An associate of Xiah Junsu stated, “Xiah Junsu was hospitalized to a hospital in Koreatown in Los Angeles at around 10PM on the 3rd local time, or 2PM on the 4th of Korean time. Because it was the weekend, we tried over 20 hospitals before finally finding a hospital where he could receive proper treatment.”

Xiah Junsu has been busy with recording schedules, and as a result he continued getting a high fever and fatigue. At first, they didn’t think much of the situation because his symptoms were that of a common cold, but as the night went on, his symptoms worsened and he was then taken to the ER. When he reached the hospital, his fever reached over 40C. After receiving emergency care and some shots he has stabilized. This associate says, ” Xiah Junsu, plus the other 2 members are in America to record their album, and they have been pouring out their passion into the recordings. Thinking of meeting their fans after such a long time with their music, they became overenthusiastic and sang repeatedly without rest, and now their body has shown these signs of fatigue.”


The three members, including Xiah Junsu were hit hard with the shocking news of Park Yong Ha’s death. This associate said, “Hero Jaejoong was very close friends with Park Yong Ha, so the news gave him great mental shock and he was unable to even speak for awhile. All three members have been becoming more and more fatigued and even when staff members around them advised them to rest, they were concentrated in recording and in result their health has deteriorated to the point of finding the ER.”

The management side says that for Xiah Junsu’s treatment, they will take a 2 days rest.

Xiah Junsu, Micky Yoochun and Hero Jaejoong are currently in America recording with Kanye West, who has a great influence in pop music. Kanye West, who was born in 1977, has won 13 Grammy Awards and is a famous Rapper/Producer in America. He has produced music for the albums of Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, and Janet Jackson. The three members of TVXQ are the first to work with a major pop artist and producer like Kanye West. Because of this, many people are looking forward to what kind of product is released from this collaboration.

A Reporter’s View On the 3rd, an announcement was made by avex that the Korean dance-vocal quintet Tohoshinki, whose total sales in Japan have exceeded 5 million copies and who has appeared on NHK’s Kouhaku Utagassen for 2 consecutive years, will be taking an indefinite break. The reason of this is known to be because of the contract dispute between their Korean company and the 3 members, and after a conference made between the 5 of them and the officials from both Japan and Korea, they have come to a decision to suspend their activities. From now on they will be focusing on their solo activities. Tohoshinki who had already been a top star in Korea started in Japan as a new artist, mastered the language, and did their activities steadily and honestly. In the beginning, most of their fans consist of women in their 30s and 40s who are Hallyu fans. However, after their great efforts to improve their dancing and singing in Japanese, their fanbase has spread to females who are in their 10s and 20s, and they have become a top star in Japan. Because the cause of this is the contract dispute with their Korean company, with such great efforts that they’re carrying, this break is not something we should be sad about. Because the cause is definitely not that the members hate each other. I want them to do well with their solo activities, and I want to wait believing that the 5 of them to come back with great success and smiles on their faces.

[Trans] ARENA37°C April Issue

Releasing “break out” in january and on 2/17 they released the “best selection 2010″ their best album that is full with their past hard works. They both made a record and was a huge hit. They are a big group now that needs no explanation of who they are. Many media’s have said how their dance and songs have great quality.

That it true but that’s not the only charm. Each of their characters, how they treat theirfans, how they treat the media always with a smile, and always being honest and looking straight forward. When you make into words it sounds so easy but that is something you can’t do easily. If I exaggerate a little you can say that they are great as a human being. That’s why when you listen to their songs you want to listen to their human nature. When they sing a love song you can see how they understand the story,when they overlap the harmony with their voices, and how they look at each other and care about them. You can’t just label them as people who are good at dancing and singing.

On 3/24 they are releasing their 30th single CD, the song that was in the best album too “Toki wo tomete”. It was used as a television commercial song. Many fans were waiting for this song to be released. In the intro its as if jaejoong is whispering and junsu’s beautiful but a bit sad voice heats up the song, when it comes to the bridge of thesong, Yoochun’s sexy voice, Yunho’s strong voice, and Changmin’s voice that can become high to low makes the song dramatic. “Stop the time and I want to be near you”. It has a strong and straight forward feeling that isn’t just beautiful but stable. Near the end the piano makes you imagine the sky full of stars. The second chorus part where Jaejoongsings “I can’t say I love you well”好きだよって上手く言えなくって」 represents Tohoshinki’s many love songs that has the theme “Love that passed by”通り過ぎた恋.

Each sings a phrase that can be used in a movie or a drama. You can’t explain in words but they make the climax natural. The song after “Toki wo tomete” is Yunho’s“Checkmate”. Yunho sang this at the 2009 concert, it has a sexy dance that is unforgettable. Usually he stands as the leader and looking our for the members but when he sings the solo song he puts out all of him. When you listen to this song once again with the tokyo dome, you want to have fun and enjoy it again but “Tohoshinki 4th live tour 2009 ~thesecret code~ final in tokyo dome” blu-ray is going to be released on3/17. You have to check that out.

Also on the same day the DVD withTohoshinki’s PV’s “Tohoshinki video clip collection -the one-” will be released. From “stay with me tonight” to “break out ” will be in it, making it total of 26 clips. Same with the CD’s and lives you can tell the history of tohoshinki. And on 3/24 tohoshinki’s mix cd with all their great songs are going to be released, their 2nd mix cd “TVXQ NONSTOP-MIX VOL.2″. From their strong songs to sweet ballads a CD that you can enjoy.

From all the items that are going to be released it seems that you will be able to feel the five’s moving steps.

[Trans] 2010 non-no magazine No.6 3/20

Jejung
I’m a bit masochistic during work. I don’t want to become overly full of myself.
Even though I thought my image in my first meeting was very important…how should I say this…my image was a bit weak?? It’s more like I looked like a bad boy. But after I debuted in Japan I became a brighter. I thought my image was colder in Korea, and I wanted to change my image a bit. I mean, wouldn’t you dislike it if my personality was the same as my appearance? I’m sad when people misunderstand me. For example, if Junsu says “Idiot!”, others would see it like a joke. But if I say the same thing, everyone would probably think I really mean it. The normal Jejung is absolutely not cold at all~ If I had to say it in one word, I’m a bit M (laughs). When everyone says “I’m tired~ It’s too bothersome~”, I’ll say “I’ll do it first!” Changmin is the same. We like work!! I am a bit spontaneous too. I would suddenly become happy and sad sometimes, a bit masochistic in work, but I think I’m an S-type in love… But I’m conscious of these sides. Because I know myself the best (laughs). I want to treasure this gap. Well, I don’t want to become overly full of myself (Lit: Doesn’t want to refer to himself as ore-sama). I would hate that. I want to become a friendly companion to everyone.

Yuchun
I have various charms (laughs)
I’m not really sure about myself, but people around me say I’m free, sexy, difficult to approach, and other things… But I guess that means I’m charming in various ways! Hahaha (laughs)!! I always treasure the people I like, like the staff, my family, and others close to me, but to not let others who don’t really know me misunderstand me, I usually only say greetings. That’s why, I hear that I have a cold personality often. They tell me greetings are different from properly talking to them. It’s not that I’m afraid of showing myself to others, but I’m not good at making friends with others from the start. But personally, I think greetings are important, and I greet others often, so I wonder why others still tell me that I have a cold personality… (laughs bitterly). When I’m with the members, I get high when Junsu does. I really want to thank him for being sensitive (lit: reading the atmosphere)and livening up the atmosphere at times. But I’m quick at reading the atmosphere/situation too! It’s not that I consciously read into something, but I can feel it immediately from others’ expressions and their words. But when I’m too sensitive to others reactions (lit: read too much into atmosphere) and hold back what I want to say, I feel like exploding from stress. To move forward from those times, and to forget things I want to forget, I hint to them sometimes. If I do that, I really do forget after a month. I’m proud of that (laughs). Well, I’m basically a positive person! I enjoy work too! I feel lucky.

Yunho
I’ll protect the person I love with my life
I work hard as Tohoshinki’s leader, but when I’m with my friends or members, I’m just a normal guy. I am courteous, and tell jokes too. Although my original personality doesn’t change, I’m different from the Yunho you see at work. I’m a bit more energetic. Changmin always tells me, “Yunho-aniki (older brother) seems pure and simple like a high school student.” That’s because Changmin usually emits more of an aura than I do (laughs). Lately, I personally enjoy traveling here and there. Even when I’m busy, I try to make time for travelling. Changmin is filming in Jejudo right now, and I went there to cheer him on, telling him to do his best. I also snowboarded there! It was a great adventure. I didn’t know how people my age pass their days before. I wore a mask and a cap, and dressed like a normal university student. Just by walking here and there in that 5-6 hours, I felt that there are so many people living their various lives to the fullest. That became my drive, and I carried a new attitude towards my work. Because I’m the leader, I tend to be the leading type in love. If I like someone, I would date her for a long time, like 3-4 years. I cannot date or love someone lightly. But I would probably observe her as a friend for 2-3 years before dating her. If I then think she really is a good girl, I would immediately confess to her. But right now, I still have my dreams and I need to work hard at my job and level myself up. After that, I’ll protect the girl I love with my life.Photo Inspired by Purple Line

Changmin
Recently, I’ve become more mature and fixed my shyness.
Even though it’s embarrassing to say this out of my own mouth, I thought that I had the face of a “good boy” and a “good student” from a long time ago. But I felt pressured because of those views. Maybe I’m the only one who thinks this, but I feel that I must always show my best side to others. Contrary to everyone’s thoughts, I’m really not a good student (laughs)!! The truth is, I’m usually unsparing (when criticizing). Actually, I’m more at ease when I’m like that. I feel that I can’t hold myself back anymore, and I’ve given up completely. I’ve become colder to others. I’m determined not to look back, even when it’s in love. People often say I’m shy, but I’ve changed recently and became more mature. But I still place utmost importance when it comes to consideration for girls. I have two younger sisters, and when I was young, my father often told me to treat girls kindly. Unknowingly, it’s become part of me. I do want to be kind to my sisters…but I haven’t said it aloud. It’s a bit embarrassing tell them that I’m grateful for them and for their love because it’s family… Actually, my whole family isn’t good at saying those things. I guess we’re all shy. But we have a sharp tongue. I guess we’re that type of family (laughs).

Junsu
I want to become an adult who can handle work and love at the same time
When I’m with my members only, I’m really quiet. It isn’t that I’m super-quiet, but I’m shy. I was really shy back then, and it was worse then. I was really at loss when it came to meeting people for the first time, even in normal places. I didn’t know what I should talk about. I’m especially weak when it comes to girls (laughs). I really wanted to talk to them, but I couldn’t speak well. I’ve become better lately…but compared with the members, I’m not! Because I’m not good at talking, I like girls who are bright (Note: weird wording). But if I meet a girl I like, I’ll definitely confess to her first. That’s because I’m a guy! I work hard at telling jokes…and I really want to thank the people who tell me they’re funny even when they’re not (laughs). The funny thing is that I would tell them to myself to raise my spirits sometimes. That’s because I become happy when everyone laughs. However, I don’t want to have to think hard about carrying out jokes or relationships, I want to naturally do it. I want to live showing my true self to others. These thoughts may change as I grow older, but I really don’t know yet. But…I want to become capable adult, whether it’s for work, in private, or for my state of mind…and of course for the girl I love! It’s embarassing~~ (laughs)!!

In other issues of Vivi, the last 4 pages had a [Out Of Topic Chapter], it is similar to Behind The Scenes feature. (1) We heard that in Jaejoong’s room, Christmas decorations are still hanging. (2) Changmin uses toothpicks to eat strawberries while others just use their hands directly. (3) We heard that on the day before a photoshoot, Yoochun only sleeps 2 hours. (4) While in the process of applying make up, Changmin was listening to music non-stop. (5) In the breaks while doing a photoshoot, Junsu keeps singing. (6) The first time Yunho tried to draw a hairstyle, he failed and drew it again. (7) When Junsu saw (I Like A Person..) written on a paper, he burst out into uncontrollable laughter for no reason. (8) When the members were asked to write [I Like A Person..] in Korean, maybe it was because they had just finished writing it in Japanese, they suddenly could not recall the way to write it in Korean 9) Jaejoong used to like elephants, and because of that, many fans gave him elephant toys as gifts. (10) When asked what animals they like, Changmin replied dogs, but actually he was referring to his own dogs as he has no interest in other dogs (laughs). (11) Concerning fan’s messages, this time, many letters were received and it can be said that a new record for most number of letters sent has been set for Vivi’s artistes. （12）The most popular song among readers is Mirotic. （12）Many readers use blogs to share information.

VIVI 605,000 Copies Are Sold!Yet Another #1 in History from its’ Foundation Done by TVXQ! *Note: No offense to Jonny’s fan.This is an article written at Nikkan Gendai News.Their main readers are adult male (businessmen etc).So, it is written with the guy’s point of view. Nikkan Gendai News Japan100227 Things which the wives and children are absorbed in recently when dad comes home.It is a Korean idol group of 5 “TVXQ” who participated in NHK’s Red and White Singing Battle lat year.They are an absolute uproar in Japan now on days. Woman fashion magazine “JJ” which TVXQ was displayed as a cover was all sold out last month.In addition, another woman’s fashion magazine “ViVi” (released on February 23rd) which attached a supplement of TVXQ’s articles to a magazine had published their best 605,000 prints since its’ foundation. And it is said to be sold out surely. It is possible that Japanese Johnny’s women fans might be moving toward TVXQ. There is a research that supported this flow by collecting the vote of, “Who I want to make as my lover” at the “CDTV” (TBS), which was broadcasted on February 13th. This research at CDTV has been carried out twice every year, in summer and in winter. And for the previous five times, the first place was Jin Akanishi of KAT – TUN (Jonny’s), and consecutive four times, Kazuya Kamenashi (Jonny’s KAT-TUN) kept the second place. However, it was a member of TVXQ who won the first place this time.And Kamenashi ranked the fourth place this time.TVXQ members were ranked within the top ten ranking range,and Jun Matsumoto of “Arashi (Jonny’s)” that was the seventh place until last year did not make it to the top ten place this time. Additionally, group of 5 idol group, “BIGBANG” also from Korea is developing a force in Japan.Jonny’s might be feeling uneasy recently with these Korean male idol forces. source: Nikkan Gendai News: http://gendai.net/ +ViVi translated by: Junsulv@OneTVXQ.com shared by: OneTVXQ.com { One World.

時ヲ止メテ TOKIWO TOMETE I WANT TO BE WITH YOU FOREVER Lyrics by Shinjiroh Inoue Music by Ichiro Fujiya Arranged by Daisuke Kahara 急ぐように 夏の星座たちが　ビルの谷間に傾いて隠れてく Isoguyouni natsuno seiza　tachiga biruno tanimani katamuite kakureteku The summer stars are rushing away and fading out behind the buildings 通り過ぎる僕らの毎日　ちっぽけな事で　泣きそうな時もある Toorisugiru bokurano mainichi chippokena kotode nakisouna tokimoaru As the days are speeding by, I’m almost in tears even with little things いつか君が行きたがっていた　あの店はもう無くなってしまったけど Itsuka kimiga ikitagatteita ano miseha mounakunatte shimattakedo The shop that you have wanted to go has gone どんな日も僕たちは　「ふたりの恋は終わらない」と信じていた Donna himo bokutachiha futarino koiwa owaranaito shinjiteita We have always believed that our love will never fade away 時ヲ止メテ　ずっと君の　そばにいたい Tokiwo tomete zutto kimino sobaniitai I want be with you forever, my love 見上げた空　願い込めて Miageta sora negai komete Looking up to the sky, I wish with all my heart ひとつひとつ　輝く星　繋げながら Hitotsuhitotsu kagayaku hoshi tsunagenagara Connecting the sparkling stars one by one 君の形・・・ 探してた Kimino katachi … sagashiteta I am longing… for your shadow 好きだよって　上手に言えなくって　波打ち際で震えた　幼い恋 Sukidayotte jouzuni ienakutte namiuchigiwade furueta osanai koi I’m not good in expressing my love for you, my first love is trembling at the water’s edge たどたどしく　並んだ目と目が　瞬きさえも　惜しいと感じていた Tadotadoshiku naranda metomega mabatakisaemo oshiito kanjiteita Haltingly, side by side, our eyes can’t even spare one blink 砂に書いた誓いはすぐに　引く波にさらわれて　消えてしまっても Sunani kaita chikaiha suguni hiku namini sarawarete kiete shimattemo Even though our words are written in the sand, it will be immediately washed away by the waves あの頃の僕たちは　「ふたりの恋は変わらない」と信じていた Anokorono bokutachiha futarino koiha kawaranai to shinjiteita During those days, we have always believed that our love will never fade away 時ヲ止メテ　ずっと君の　そばにいたい Tokiwo tomete zutto kimino sobaniitai I want be with you forever, my love もっと君を　抱きしめたい Motto kimiwo dakishimetai I want to hold you, again and again ひとつひとつ　君の事を　覚えながら Hitotsuhitotsu kiminokotowo oboenagara As I’ve recognized you step by step 永遠だけ・・・信じてた Eiendake shinjiteta I just believed in an eternal love 時ヲ止メテ　ずっと君の　そばにいたい Tokiwo tomete zutto kimino sobaniitai I want be with you forever, my love 見上げた空 願い込めて Miageta sora negai komete Looking up to the sky, I wish with all my heart ひとつひとつ　輝く星　 繋げながら Hitotsuhitotsu kagayaku hoshi tsunagenagara Tying all the shining stars together 君の形・・・　探してた Kimino katachi sagashiteta I am longing… for your shadow 時ヲ止メテ　ずっと君の　そばにいたい Tokiwo tomete zutto kimino sobaniitai I want be with you forever, my love もっと君を　　抱きしめたい Moｔｔo kimiwo　dakishimetai I want to hold you, again and again ひとつひとつ　君の事を　覚えながら Hitotsuhitotsu kiminokotowo oboenagara I’ve recognized you step by step 永遠だけ・・・信じてた Eiendake shinjiteta I just believed in an eternal love T/N: The title in Japanese is 「時ヲ止メテ」, and can be directly translated as “Stop the time”. Here, Shinjiroh Inoue (the lyrics writer) is using katakana characters, not the usual 「時を止めて」 with hiragana characters. I believe that Inoue has included a special meaning, and the meaning is especially difficult to express in English.In the very last part of the song, there is the lyrics 永遠だけ・・・信じてた (T/N: I just believed in an eternal love), so I thought 「時ヲ止メテ」 maybe a symbol or symbolic representation of the song, meaning “forever”. Therefore, though not literally correct, I’ve made the trans as above, not including “Stop the time”. I also personally think that “Stop the time” is not really poetic….Thank you for your understanding!

A net ‘fortune-telling’ entertainment/網易娯楽reported in China: The questionnaire includes items such as ◆ cognitive degree ◆ income ◆ singing ability ◆ the performance/dances ◆fashionability ◆ collective strength. TVXQ missed the first place to another group with performances and fashionability, but they kept the first place in all the others, it showed that the person concerned (Korean entertainment reporters) all “took off their hats / showed their respect” to TVXQ’s ability. “The brand power” of TVXQ is in good health, including their new song “Break out” topping the Oricon Chart which was released in Japan this January. Their popularity was also seen in a reprint of Japanese women’s fashion magazine “JJ” which displayed TVXQ as the cover, and the brisk sales of their first best album. The questionnaire result is as follows. ◆ Cognitive Degree： 1. TVXQ 2. Big Bang 3. 2PM 4. Super Junior 5. SS501 ◆ 2009 Income： 1. TVXQ 2. Big Bang 3. Super Junior 4. 2PM 5.
