[TRANS/PICS] 140825 October Issue of WITH Magazine - Behind the Scenes for Tohoshinki's Cover Page Photoshoot Part 2

Tohoshinki's charms which even men fall for!

When was the last time that we worked together with TVXQ... While preparing for the photoshoot in the studio within the city of Tokyo, I checked my iPhone in order to recall when that was, and would you believe it, it has already been 3 years ago!! Perhaps it was because I had been feeling the activity of the both of them constantly on TV, in movies, in magazines and compared to anything else, at their live concerts, it did not seem like it had been something that long ago. The cover appearance which I had continuously wanted to work together with them on from that time onwards has finally been realized in this issue. So a long time has also passed before it has been realized... While I was dwelling over this, "Hello!", (I heard) the familiar voices which I had heard in CDs and at their live concerts!!! Tohoshinki, who made time amidst their concert tour to come, exuded a comfortable atmosphere which was again different from those artistes' faces which were filled with overflowing anxiety while they are on stage. Of course, even with such an appearance, Tohoshinki are also as suave as them. While going "It's been a long time~" and speaking with us, even the air in the studio received a "bo~ing" boost at their easygoingness. 

While he was in the midst of trying out his outfits, Yunho-ssi and I stood chatting. While being thankful for the opportunity afforded by this job, I tried throwing a simple question at him, going "A live tour with 29 concerts in 11 cities nationwide, aren't you tired out by such packed schedule?" "If I think of it as work or obligation,it would perhaps be too much for me (laughs). I am doing it because it's enjoyable. The live concerts are something precious which we create together with the fans as we go along, and because this is something we challenge ourselves with." Ah.. So this is it. Tohoshinki, who have not in the least changed from the first time we interviewed them, and who have always maintained this upright mindset. It is of course not just the ladies who resonated with this strongly in their hearts.

Tohoshinki's "Adults' Sexiness" which the Writer-in-Charge Felt

After coming up the elevator of the studio which I always come to for work, (I reached) the 3rd level. At the place which the doors of the elevator open wide open to, Y-ssi of the WITH editorial department was laughing while conversing about something with these young people who possessed fairly tall heights and good physique. After going "Omo, they're handsome~" and passing them by, I belatedly realized who they were "Oh!~" and returned hurriedly and took a look again, and those people were, without any doubt, the 2 members of Tohoshinki!! Compared to the previous occasion when they did an interview during "Tone", isn't the relaxed photoshoot atmosphere much more adult-like / mature?
