[HQ SCAN] Yunho on Vogue Japan October Issue

[TRANS] Tohoshinki's Interview With Vogue Japan - October Issue (Special 15th Anniversary Issue)

The Gift of Celebration

The Promises with Tohoshinki of a bright future to be congratulated for

As foreign artistes, Tohoshinki were the first to hold their own exclusive concerts in Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome for 3 consecutive years, and the fastest in history to achieve the feat of mobilizing 2 million audience members. Coinciding with the sale of their DVD which records the live happenings of that legendary performance, they also participated in the congratulations for Vogue Japan's 15th anniversary. We also heard their stories about their wishes for their future.

The live performances of Tohoshinki, who frequently let us hear the words "putting my life on the line" (Yunho), are passionately hot to the extent that to a person who has never seen their live performances will not be able to imagine it. On the stage which creates and causes the staff, who have been touched by Tohoshinki's sincerity and hard work, to become one, there is no futile moment even if just for a second. For a packed 3.5 hours, Tohoshinki brings the touched feelings and fanaticism of the audience to a world of a different league. Making the "Dome tour which we had dreamed of since debut" (Changmin) a success, and while mobilizing 144,000 people in 2 days for the tour finale at Nissan Stadium, they have achieved an amazing feat for being the first as foreign artistes. When it was revealed that this year's "Tohoshinki Live Tour 2014 Tree" would be held, perhaps it was because we started anticipating that Nissan Stadium would once again be included in the schedule, but what Tohoshinki was thinking about was an approach which was virtually completely different from the previous year.

The Tohoshinki special in the October issue contains 8 pages. From the handsome shots of them decked suavely in suits, to the up-shots which appear as if they are staring at you through the camera, to the natural looks of the both of them who are conveying the fact that they are approving of each other, this issue consists of photos which one cannot get enough of even if one keeps looking at them. Only in this special, just the number of photos which are totally newly captured totalled more than 30! We published them generously. In addition, because a specially made polaroid card is also included in each book, you definitely can't miss out on it right!

It was the first time for Changmin-san to have a Champagne shower and he seemed to be enjoying it so much that we had to ask him to control his facial expression (he was just too happy).

[TRANS] 140827 Editor Blog - Let's Celebrate the Release of Tohoshinki LIVE DVD & Vogue Japan October Issue Together!

Original post

Hello, everyone! I am Mihoko Iida from Vogue Japan.

Have you received the Oct issue of Vogue Japan yet?

LIVE DVD [TOHOSHINKI LIVE TOUR 2014 ~TREE~] (8/27 on sale) and Vogue Japan Oct issue (8/28 on sale).

We are so grateful to everyone because we received many exciting tweets and comments every day and night〜♡

Today & finally, we just released a full version of the making film and please, please watch it. First of all, in order to direct [Celebrate] that was the concept of this shooting, Satoko Fujisaki-san, a wine-stylist, prepared Champagne bottles and a fruits plate. Actually, Fujisaki-san is the Fujisaki-san who writes a column in Kami-no-shizuku (Drops of God), a legendary comic that is one of Changmin-san's favorite JPN comics〜. Fujisaki-san knows everything about alcohol, so she taught Changmin-san how to do Champagne shower without a rehearsal (!)

どちらがシャンパンを開けるか、「チャンミンがチャレンジしてみたらいい」と譲るユンホさん、ドキドキしながらチャレンジするチャンミンさん。ステージ上の兄と弟の信頼関係を、撮影現場でも感じることができました。

Which one of them to open the bottle of Champagne, Yunho-san let Changmin-san do it, “Changmin should try/challenge it!” Changmin-san looked a bit nervous but he tried it.

We were able to feel the strong brotherly relationship where they are bonded with trust at the photo shoot.

シャンパンの泡を直撃させてしまったユンホさんを気づかうチャンミンさん。撮影を終え、インタビューの前にユンホさんはシャンパンだらけになった顔を洗いに行ったのですが、チャンミンさんは「ちょっと待っててください、すみません」とスタッフにも気づかいを。

Changmin-san was a bit concerned/worried about Yunho-san who had Champagne splashed over his face. After finishing the photo shoot, Yunho-san stepped out to wash his face before the interview. Changmin-san said, “Can you wait for him a little? I am sorry.” to show care/respect to the staffs.
