(awwh! kimura takuya! we have a same birthday date! 13 november! XD)
Tohoshinki sang their first ORICON weekly topped song, Purple Line and followed by another ORICON weekly winner どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろ, created a great stage, eventhough it’s their first appearance at Kohaku’s stage, the boys got big applause and cheering from the crowd.
SMAP’s leader, Masahiro Nakai who was the moderator of White Team (red team was led by Nakama Yukie) introduced Tohoshinki as: “An Asia’s super group who was born in Korea”.
Actually the line is not really a big deal, since it’s not the first time Japanese artist said it at Japan music programs. However, as it came from the leader of Japan’s top group SMAP not to mention it’s also said during one of the most precious event in Japan, it becomes headlines in Korean news.
Sekine Tsutomu, a Japanese popular comedian who is known as Tohoshinki’s big fan sent a happy message to his daughter Sekine Marie, who became the MC of last night Kohaku Uta Gassen to see such great performance by the boys on Kohaku’s stage. Marie told the audiences herself during the show.
After Tohoshinki ended their performance, at the backstage:
“It was the best stage. Unfortunately it’s too short, next year we hope to stand again on the stage and give it another try.” Micky Yoochun of Tohoshinki said. While words from Xiah Junsu, “It’s like a dream comes true, we’re a little nervous,” (Yunho also said something but I don’t get this part, sorry.)

DBSK’s Best Year Ever
border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5286563819968173250" />The night of 29th, 7 PM, Kimpo Airport Entrance. The five stars barely got on the van with the help of their securities, going past the amazing amount of fans. The van leaves hastily, and there are at least a good ten taxi’s trailing the van. No it’s not a chase or a movie scene. It’s the five membered boy band “DBSK” and their scene of entrance.
On this day, DBSK finished their rehearsal for a Japanese end of year special show and flew back to Korea to participate in the “SBS Gayo Daejun“. They flew back to Japan on the thirtieth to receive the “Best Piece” Award. On the thirty-first they will be on NHK Kouhaku uta Gassen. Such a killer-schedule tells us how famous they have become.
DBSK sold 46000 copies of their new album “The fourth album: JUMON-MIROTIC”, which is their comeback album after a hiatus of 1 year and seven months. They re-instated that they were the best group, once again. In Japan, they’re known as Tohoshinki. Tohoshinki have acheived the number one rank on Oricon weekly charts four times. Since they were so busy, their interview had to be done on the moving van.
Q: Due to the song “JUMON-MIROTIC”, I think our fandom has become a bigger place.
Yunho: In airplanes, not only do the air hostesses request of our autographs but the pilots also. I’m very pleased that their have been an increase of DBSK manfans. During the (can't understand this), we were known as the group that sing hard songs. But now we hear from people we now sing songs that people in the thirties can also sing along to.
Jaejoong: I think we’ve become a national Idol. There are a lot of woman fans that say to us, “You guys all look like man now. We see you as man now.” Our management even told us, “You can start dating now. It’ll help with your images, to look manly.” But we have no time to meet women.
Q: I think you guys have had some difficult heartaches, during all those times.
Junsu: We were afraid of the people that kept looking us with the set mind of, “DBSK are no longer the “it” people in Korea. Your songs are no longer the trend.” We were afraid and worried during the period we were getting ready for our comeback. So we made up our minds strong. We wanted to hear, “DBSK, they’re definitely something else / They’re different from other singers.
Changmin: JUMON-MIROTIC is a song that has DBSK’s color mixed with Pop. It’s a song that gave re-birth to DBSK.
Q: Hasn’t the fact that Gagman Wangbiho (Yoon Hyung Bin) said, “DBSK’s fanclub consists of 80000 people, but how come you can only sell 10000 copies of album?” helped you in the selling of your album?
Yunho: I admit that completely. And thus I’m grateful. His word wasn’t a pact or a rule. But more of a suspicion of, “If you are their fan, then you should be buying their albums.” I hear that other artists have increased in their selling of albums also. I think fandom culture has really improved if you see the fans these days that clean up after everyone in concerts, and donate money towards the members’ birthdays.
Q: I think you guys have achieve a rival line with the group “Big Bang”.
Junsu: Big Bang and we sing a different type of music, and thus we don’t think we’re better then them. Big Bang are people, who know how to have fun yet perform good on stage. I think, when we go on stage that “We’re the best on this stage”, but I think they think that too.
Q: I hear “JUMON-MIROTIC” got banned by the Commision of Youth Protection
Yoochun: I don’t understand it. So that’s why I feel like we’ve inconvenienced everyone. When we went to the Golden Disk Awards to receive the Daesang, we had to change some lyrics, but the original feel just didn’t come alive. I’m sure the people that listened felt the same also.
Q: Ever since your debut, you have grown so very fast!
Junsu: Like some said, we’re only eating the rice that other people have deliciously made. It’s just that we also put in that much effort, and eat the rice with ‘Golden Spoons’.
Q: What is DBSK’s dream?
Yunho: It is our dream to be able to continue doing K-Pop music that only we’d be able to pull off. It is also our job, our duty to get rid of the misconception that idols can only dance good but can’t sing or have no idea of what good singing is.

2008 Kohaku Uta Gassen: The White Team Wins The Night
Kohauku (Kohaku) Uta Gassen has a line of 10 judges from variety of fields which for this year judges are:
Norika Fujiwara and Tomonori Jinnai (celebrities), Aoi Miyazaki and Yui Aragaki (artists), Isao Aoki and Momoko Ueda (golfers), Hideki Okajima (baseball star), Kanzaburo Nakamura XVIII (kabuki actor), Kenichiro Mogi (neuroscientist), and Mariko Bando (Showa Women’s University president).
