“Itsudatte aitakattayo” the melody that the 3 members sang to us, I won’t forget it all my life. Thank you for being alive. I love you.

The 3 members read a letter to us. “We are walking in a dark tunnel, and maybe we are still in the tunnel, but you are the ones who are shining the light on the road.” These are not really the correct words, but I hope I can convey their message to all of you.

Jaejoong’s hug was so erotic, I heard shouts from a seat in the back “gya~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jaejoong~~~~~NO!!!!!” Afterwards, we were all absentminded.

“We were worrying that you would go to new artists’ concerts and forget about us.” Are you kidding? Come here. We will show you all of our hearts. Until you get tired.

This year’s goal, Yoochun “Be No 1 on the Japanese Oricon chart”.

Jaejoong “We are always saying that we want to go to Japan, but you are the ones who are always coming here to us. We are really sorry…but we could only say like this.” Jaejoong, it is OK, we will go anywhere. So please don’t talk like that…

JJ “OK! We can still sing, dance, and use…” YC “What do you mean by ‘use’? xDD ” Audience “Kya~~!” JJ “So..oh no, not that meaning..oh…XDDD” YC “What? What will you use? (grinning)”

[TRANS] 120114 Compilation of JYJ Lotte Fanmeeting Tweets

January 14, 2012 · by JYJ3 Team

This is a compilation of various tweets from Japanese fans about the JYJ Lotte Fanmeeting. It is not in any specific order.

JS: I want to release Japanese CD in Japan.

YC: I want to be the top in Oricon ranking.

A fan said “I can see JJ’s Tattto through his thin T-shirt!!”

JS sang a part of “Wasurenaide”.

JS used the difficult word “Hairyo” (Japanese. it means consideration or care), so fans were clapping.

Looking aroung the venue which has 1700 fans, JS said “There are some I’ve seen before.” YC&JJ was like “Liar!””How many?” JS was like “12”

YC/JJ romped to listen to JS’s greeting. They teased JS like “JS sounds ‘tsu’ wrongly!” then”TA･CHI･TSU･TE･TO! NA･NI･NU･NE･NO! WA･WO･N!” JS looked bossy. (T/N what JS said is Jap syllables.)

YC was at a loss at Twitter calls from fans. Soon JJ touched YC’s hair as saying “TSUITA ?” (T/N: stick/attach, and it sounds similarly to twitter). JJ said “not so funny” looking embarrassed. JS was like”It was funny!”

[On the South America Tour] JJ:As 3 of us and individually, this is the 1st time I think. We can’t tell how many fans there would be. But I think if we try hard, then there would be something.” he said something like this. Read More →

[TRANS] Professor Lee Dong Yeon continues his discussion on current state of kpop with ‘Go, Music’s Frankenstein’

January 14, 2012 · by JYJ3 Team

JYJ3’s note: The writer, Professor Lee Dong Yeon, teaches cultural theory at the Korean National University of the Arts. He has played a huge role in the creation of Korean Pop Music Awards and had written a book titled ‘Idols’. He is currently writing a 10-part series on the current state to Kpop: its creation and consumption, its industrialized nature, as well as its music and the ins and outs behind the scenes. The first part of his 10-part series was about JYJ and SM, which JYJ3 had translated into these 3 parts: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Go, Music’s Frankenstein

(Parts unrelated to JYJ omitted)

There were many suggested activities that JYJ can carry out since they left TVXQ. Professor Lee Dong Yeon called this “the recovery of one’s freedom to decide his or her activities.” Unlike the years when they had to carry out their activities according to SM’s one-sided schedule, they have the power to decide their own activities. They are making music and producing on their own now, hence they want to be called artistes.

The contract period with TVXQ is 13 years. Aren’t they the same as the industry’s “slaves”? JYJ survived as musicians, not avatars, artistes and not designed products. The fandom is one of the deciding factors for them. The industry is complicated and twisted; hence it is completely impossible to find a solution. The only way to change this frustrating situation is the active attitudes of JYJ’s fans and consumers. Read More →
