Starting from June 24th, JYJ’s Jaejoong will be performing his last concerts of his Asia tour in Yokohama Arena for three consecutive days. Now Kstyle will use “Jaejoong x KStyle Special Edition” as the theme, focusing on this fanmeeting and gather questions that the fans want to ask Jaejoong.
Jaejoong accepted KStyle’s interview for this fanmeeting! He talked about his drive for fanmeeting and his thoughts towards all his fans. Our editors also held a Q&A session with Jaejoong about things that he cared about. Here’s a very realistic side of Jaejoong.
Q: Regarding the last stop of your Asia tour, the next three days at Yokohama Arena, could you elaborate on things that are particularly worth watching, listening and looking forward to?
Jaejoong: This is my first solo album since debut, and I received a lot of love while I delivered the Asia tour. It was decided at the Tokyo Dome performance that the last stop of my tour will be in Japan. Since it is my first solo tour, I felt a lot of pressure; but at the same time, I had high hopes, and wanted to deliver a good performance as well as spending a wonderful time with my fans.
Q: Are the Japanese songs in this fanmeeting’s track list picked by Jaejoong? Do they carry special meanings?
Jaejoong: I hand-picked them myself, but I also asked people around me to suggest Japanese songs that they liked. Originally, I wanted to sing Japanese songs that are light and have left strong impressions on most Japanese audience. Even though I am a foreigner who sings in a foreign language, I’ve always received love and support from everyone. Thus in order to repay this love, I wanted to create wonderful memories with my fans, so I picked songs that have been loved by everyone.
Q: Yuna Ito’s “Precious”, Chihiro Onitsuka’s “Moonlight” and Ayaka’s “Crescent Moon” are all very difficult songs by female singers. What are your thoughts on them? Please talk about your feelings, the difficulties when performing and the parts worth listening to.
Jaejoong: They are extremely difficult. Since they are all originally sang by female artists, rather than the vocal difficulty, the more difficult part is that just singing will not do the songs justice. Not only do I have to have full comprehension of the lyrics, I have to consider my thoughts as well as the audience’s perspective, so I need to deliver my feelings well during performance. Most importantly, since it is a live performance, I have to focus on bringing the audience enjoyment and happiness rather than on the stage.
Q: Do you listen to Japanese music normally? Have you sung them at Karaoke?
Jaejoong: Yup, I sing them often. When I was at Tokyo with Yoochun, we often sang “Sai Ai”.
Q: Have you prepared anything special for the last performance?
Jaejoong: The biggest thing I’ve prepared is the seven Japanese songs I will be singing in the live performance; it is also the portion that I pay the most attention to. At the same time, since I have enough time, so I will deliver a brand new fanmeeting since I really would like to have some interactions with the Japanese fans. I want to hold an exuberant fanmeeting, so please have a lot of fun!
[NEWS] 130627 JYJ Spent Two Days in the Studio, Drawing For ‘JYJ Membership Week’
With the start of the 2013 JYJ Membership Week, JYJ’s Park Yoo Chun and Kim Junsu shared that they spent two whole days drawing something exhibit.
On June 27, JYJ attended the opening day photo event for the 2013 JYJ Membership Week held at the EC in Daechi. Kim Jae Joong was absent due to his concert in Yokohama.
Park Yoo Chun expressed his excitement to start up the second Membership Week event to meet and interact with fans. “I hope they’ll take many memories back with them.”
“Last year, it was an exhibition with a digital concept, but this time, we personally challenged ourselves with art,” shared Kim Junsu. “We hope that fans will see our artwork and be happy.”
He added that the members spent two days, locked up in the studio to make the artwork.
“Even during my school years, I’ve never finished an art project. It was my first time doing it. We worked hard, so please anticipate it,” said Kim Junsu. “Since it was my first piece ever, I was a bit worried, but after it was framed, it seemed pretty decent. I’m satisfied.”
One of JYJ’s artwork will be voted by fans to be put up for auction. The profits will be donated.
For four days from June 27 to June 30, the 2013 JYJ Membership Week will be open to fans. There will be various halls for fans to visit, including the JYJ art gallery and concert hall.
