PART 1: 150111 WITH RELEASE EVENT in OSAKA, 2nd Round (8 pm)
The followings are the translation of tweets by Miuraya-san (@sivasingh). I thank her for allowing me to translate her tweets @(_._)@
Greetings from TOHOSHINKI
YH: Hello, Everyone in Osaka, long time no see. I am Yunho for everybody. This is the first of the year 2015… appreciation event.
Note1: YH said Mina-san that is a polite form of Min-na. He usually says, I am Minna-no Yunho :)
Note2: I am not sure whether he wanted to say the first event being held (kai-sai) instead of appreciation (kan-sha) event. In either case, it is nice of him :)
Talk About SURISURI
YH: I do not think that this song, SURISURI, is the first one. Has anyone predicted that this would be the first song we would sing? I guess that some of you might, but those who predicted, just pretend that you did not know either. Okay, no one knew about this, right? Thank you!
Talk About the End of 2014
YH: We participated a festival in Korea and showed people that "this is TVXQ"
CM: After showing that on our stage, I had a great end-of-the-year party. I also showed people over a drink, "This is Shim!"
Minshiru-san: Okay, Keep going and keep up the momentum, this year!
CM: You mean, drinking?
YH: I hope him keep going.
Talk About the meaning behind the title, "WITH"
YH: It is not just WITH (that you know). It is Yunho WITH Changmin.
Bigeasts: Phew, phew (whistle, whistle)
YH: TOHOSHINKI WITH BIGEASTS
Bigeasts: Phew, phew (whistle, whistle)
YH: The title, "WITH" includes such meanings so please (listen to it).
Talk About the Album, "WITH"
CM: We have fun/enjoyable songs, also bittersweet ballads and a variety of songs.. I think you can share your feelings with TOHOSHINKI. I think this album is something like that.
Talk About 10 Year Anniversary in Japan
YH: Its amazing! (Bigeasts giggled)
YH: Oh, I said it a bit too casually www. I feel that 10 years has passed in a blink of my eyes. We have been doing our best from the beginning.. and we have been loved so much by all of you and we can be here now… I guess many of you, Bigeasts must have a lot of thoughts in your hearts. I could feel your hearts on stage.. and express/convey my feelings (?).. I really wish to make a stage that is truly meaningful to us all. Honestly, I think that I have been a lucky person. Thank you very much (for your support and love).
Minshiru-san said that YH has changed in the last 10 years.
CM: To compared to Yunho 10 years ago, Yunho still sticks to his guns (carries out his original intention). Yunho has not changed even a bit.
YH stak his tongue a little bit (feeling a bit shy/embarrassed).
Minshiru-san: Oh look at Yunho-san, his nose crinkled and he looks so happy.
Minshiru-san asked CM what he thinks that he has changed over 10 years.
CM: I do not think my facial feature has changed over 10 years. I looked older back then. Now, I finally get to the age that is suited to my face. This is the best time for my face!
Minshiru-san: Well, you'll have a long way to go.
CM: Never-the-less, right now is my best!
Minshiru-san asked TOHOSHINKI about "10-year old" Bigeasts
Minshiru-san: Look! Everyone here has radiant/lustrous skin, right?
CM: I think they have aged. This world is filled with bittersweet things. For example, you get older.
Minshiru-san: I am not talking about their appearance, I am talking about their minds/hearts.
YH: Of course. You are right. The appearance would change gradually.. but as time passes… 10 years have passed.. I think our passion to each other has not changed at all. I think that is amazing. Thank you so much!
CM: But clearly, the power/momentum that we felt from you 10 years ago and that we feel now may be a bit different..
Minshiru-san: Everyone, did you hear that!? You need to make sure that Changmin-san would admit that he was wrong at the upcoming tour!
CM: When you watch the live show, they will complain that their bottoms hurt just from sitting. It is sad to get older.
Minshiru-san: It is not sad at all!
CM: I do not appreciate that I am getting older.
Talk About the "WITH" Tour
YH: Every time, I get nervous (my heart beats faster) and I always say, I will do my best! but this time, a lot of thoughts are flashing through my head while preparing the tour.. The title of the tour is "WITH", so we are doing our best in preparation in order to give you the stage where we can enjoy ourselves together "WITH" you all. Please look forward to our tour.
CM: We have been practicing a bit by bit. But we will be seriously preparing for the tour very soon.
YH: We made our set list.
Bigeasts: Phew!
Minshiru-san: I guess we can look forward to it, can't we?
YH: Yes, you can. I think you can experience a whole new TOHOSHINKI through this tour.
Making Video of SPINNING
Minshiru-san said that the quizzes given during Round 1 about making videos were pretty difficult.
YH: I do not remember anything at all. I live an ad-libbed life every time. www I live my life just how I feel, my instinct. www
In the video, a staff put a jacket over CM's shoulder.. CM screamed, "Too cold!"
CM said, it was because "I was soaked in my sweat."
YH commented on himself trying to steal the bar of gold, "Do not worry, it was fake gold."
CM commented on himself looking cool, "I tried to look cool."
CM was trying to look handsome/cool and lip-syncing to the camera. A staff called him, "Please spin the roulette wheel." the look on CM's face!
Minshiru-san said, "Please pay attention to his face!"
He looked a bit like Mr. Inoki (a Japanese wrestler who has a characteristic turned-up chin) and was so cute!
Making Video of Chandelier
YH: I really loved the location.
Two deers came in front of our car out of the blue.. Dame~ (No) Deer!
It was not just one deer but two deers, they turned their heads (YH acted like deers, turned his head and stared at audiences)..I was really surprised coz I said, Dame~ Deers!
Minshiru-san: Did you lose to the deers?
YH: They were really tough. Our car was large.. therefore I thought that would intimidate them. But.. (YH again impersonated the deers).. No I am not joking. Its try! its Hon-ma (Osaka dialect meaning True).
Quiz about CHANDELIER
Favorite part of the CHANDELIER lyrics.
YH: Okaeri-no-koe (The voice saying welcome home) YH wrote it in a really small font size.
YH: I actually wanted to write, You're my chandelier." but I forgot how to spell …
YH: Because I forgot about it.. I got nervous.. so i wrote my second favorite.. this one..
but I love this one too!
YH added something to his writing..
"Baby you're my S…"
Minshiru-san: I think Chandelier starts with C, does not it?
CM looked completely in shock.
YH: On occasion! S and ch.. you use them in a similar fashion. I am sorry. I need to study English harder.
YH covered the half of his face and laughed shyly.
CM: I lost my words.
After being embarrassed so much with his spelling error, YH rubbed his thigh and hit it hard while saying, "Yes!" Looked like that YH collected himself.
Minshiru-san: I think the cap of your pen has dropped. w
He got his pen cap back but threw it back without turning back.
YH: its okay.
CM looked like, "WTH did he do?"
YH Introducing CHANDELIER
This is the song where we wish to convey our feelings of "WITH YOU" to you all. This is the first time for us to sing this song (in front of audiences), so my heart is beating very first (I am nervous).
Note: YH said, "hatsu uta-u" in Japanese, which is really cute. He was not totally wrong but we say hajimete (adverb, for the first time) uta-u (sing) in Japan. hatsu (the first) is used usually before a noun (adjective).
PART 2: 150111 WITH RELEASE EVENT in OSAKA, 2nd Round (8 pm)
The followings are the translation of tweets by Miuraya-san (@sivasingh). I thank her for allowing me to translate her tweets @(_._)@
Off-Shot Movie of "WITH" CD Cover Picture
YH cut across in front of CM and petted the stuffed wolf sitting next to CM,
CM said, "Stop it!" in a way that he talks to his close friends..
Was CM jealous of the stuffed wolf?
Having said that CM did karate-chop to the wolf at its neck while saying, "Neck slice!" www
YH was laying on the sofa where he had his stomach on it, and he was petting the head of the stuffed wolf by one of his hands. The way he stroked the head of wolf was so gently as if the wolf was alive.
YH spoke to a child "What is your name?" but the child had an expressionless face and did not say anything. I was more perplexed about CM than the child because CM was walking around like a little mouse behind YH and CM touched somewhere YH's elbow for a few times… and also Yunho who did not react at all even CM was touching him!
CM then tried to have conversation with the kid who gave a cold shoulder to YH. CM waved hands to the child in front of his/her* face. But still no response.
Minshiru-san: I guess he/she is smiling a bit?
*Beriko not: sorry I cannot tell the sex of the child.
Off-shot Movie of "WITH" CD Bigeast version
YH picked up the receiver of the phone on the wall.
YH: Yes, moshi-moshi (hello, hello) Whaaat! The TOHOSHINKI tour next year.. again..
CM hanged up the phone.
But YH said again, "Whaatt!"
YH: Did you hear that? They will add another day of concert! on February 6th It is my Birthday!
Bigeasts: Phew!
Tour pamphlet Off Shot Movie
Shim-yama Kishin (Note; Shinoyama Kishin is a very famous photographer in Japan) was taking pictures of YH who was lying on the sofa from every direction i.e. from the floor down the sofa, from the front of sofa, and above YH! Eventually CM climbed onto the sofa and straddled over YH to take pictures! I was really amazed by the fact that YH did not care at all and continue to make his pose. I wonder this is a routine matter!?
They took a selca while YH was lying down on the sofa (lying his back on the sofa) put his head on its elbow rest and CM stack his head behind the sofa. Both of them were smiling gently/softly.. and I really want to see the pamphlet asap!
Minshiru-san: You guys did/played great for taking pictures.
YH: We are going to …. for everyone..
Minshiru-san: You are going to show everyone..
CM: It was like we are taking gravure pictures..
Minshiru-san: You looked a lot like Shinoyama Kishin-san.
{t/n: In Japan, Gravure pics are not equal to nude pics but Kishin Shinoyama became famous for his “Gekisha” series = ever evolving often extremely polar photographic works. Read more. I think the way CM took pics of YH lying on a sofa from every angle reminded her of the famous photographer.}
Quiz on Numbers of Extra
YH: Who came up with this quiz? w
CM: What is Human version? Oh, its the last time..
YH: Yeah the last time, you got the cold shoulder from the child.
YH: When you got the cold shoulder from the kid.. the number of people who were there..
YH: Perhaps we won't be able to answer correctly.. but if we came up with the same number, that would be great!
YH closed his eyes and made his chin up. CM stayed still, looked down with an expressionless face.
CM wrote the number on a board but when he looked at YH who were adding a drawing. he looked a bit surprised.
Minshiru-san: Yunho-san, Changmin-san was looking at you as if, "what the heck he is doing!? Yunho-san, are you ready yet? Are you ignoring me? You can just write down a number."
Both of them wrote down, 20 and it was a match!
YH drew a face of the child who gave a cold shoulder to CM and he also wrote something in Eng.
CM bursted into laugh after reading it. Then they whispered something.. YH corrected his Eng on the board.
CM: What's your name?
YH: What apostrophe s!!
YH: Somehow something wrong with my English today.
The correct answer was 14 people.
YH: I think WITH means our thoughts/feeling to each other rather than the correct answer.
CM: I am not really interested in how many people were there around me. Oh, sorry I spat.
Quiz on something that they want to eat in Sapporo
YH was taking a bit longer time to draw a picture of something that they want to eat in Sapporo.
CM: I think he needs more time..
They both chose, crabs!
YH drew a crab with four legs :)
YH: The reason why crabs in Sapporo are so delicious is that the crabs have hairy legs. This is hair, hair! They are doing Banzai (meaning Hurrah!)
YH insisted that although they had only one correct answer but they had two matching answers.
The more they had correct answers, the more Bigeasts can get posters with their autographs.
CM: The posters are like OTOSHI-DAMA (means New Year's present) from TOHOSHINKI.
Its pretty impressive that CM knew the word, OTOSHIDAMA.
Lottery for Poster
CM picked cards (with seat numbers on), spread these cards on the box and picked some from them.
YH: Are you supposed to pick randomly coz this is a lottery?
YH to Bigeasts: I think it is Changmin's kindness to give people sitting in different seating area.
CM needed to select 5 cards at the end and he said, "Aigoo…"
When YH put his hand into the box, CM helped YH to keep the box steady. YH picked a lot in one shot.
Everyone except him was nervous.
YH: I have been doing this for 10 years and I know how to do it." Then he picked five and checked the number.
He laughed a little and said "Oh I am sorry!"
The winner of the poster lottery was someone in the Mezzanine and she screamed.
CM: You are chosen! you are chosen!
YH: Someone there was screaming all the time so perhaps she was selected!
The winner had a mask over her face.
YH: oh you are wearing a mask.. that can catch our eyes."
KAKIZOME (A Japanese tradition, literally first writing, The first calligraphy of the year)
The BGM of KAKIZOME was a traditional Japanese music.
CM: When we first came to Japan, we ate Katsu-don (polk cutlet with egg over rice) at a restaurant.. and I think this music is..
YH: It was just like the music (at the restaurant )
CM: (in high tone) Hello, Welcome ~ (to the restaurant)
YH: Ita-daki-masu♪ (I will enjoy this meal)
YH put a stress to the end of the phrase.
They sounded so natural and we saw a glimpse of the world of the two of them.
YH wrote down his plan/wish/aspiration for 2015 seriously while having his left hand on his chest to keep his jacket and he bent his upper body over the board . and he looked really handsome!
CM on the other hand wrote down something quickly but freely.
When YH was writing his plan/wish/aspiration for 2015 using his right hand, it was shaking..
CM: Are you okay?/Are you well? Your hand is shaking so much..
YH: I am O.. kay..
CM wrote Shi~m in the middle and his autograph in Korean on the right. On the left, he wrote, "Ee-jya-nai-ka (meaning Don't mind/Whatever will be will be/Que Sera Sera)
CM: Even for having fun, I will put all my effort.. the Shim right now.. Whatever happens, no matter what.. I will live my life with such a positive attitude as Ee-jya-naika and I want to be happy and healthy.
YH wrote, tomoni (Japanese for WITH) in the first line, WITH in the send line, and Yunho-gahaku (gahaku means the master artist) in the third line.
YH's handwriting in the third line was really blurred.
CM: See it shows you how shaky your hand was..
YH: In the occasion like this.. my hand is better to be shaky.
Minshiru-san: is that so?
YH: I first wrote Ei-en (means Forever/Eternity).. but I was thinking about a word that is even better than Ei-en.
Then I thought about tomoni, WITH. I think we worked hard together WITH you all and we wish to keep moving forward together.. so I wrote down WITH.
CM gave his thumb up to YH.
