Want to convey Junsu’s sincerity to the fans
[TRANS]
Translator’s note: Junsu is not fluent in Japanese, but he still tries his best to try to convey his feelings to the Japanese fans. I am going to translate word for word what he said. If i feel it is too vague to understand, below that i’ll write, in my own words, what his disjointed words are aiming at.
I really have a lot of various memories. and amongst those memories, everyone is always
well, like a-nation, all of them
At anywhere, everyone was there together (with me), right.
That is, even till now.
At that time, or right now. (You) were together with me.
I am really grateful (for that) and.
I was able to come so far, because everyone was there at that time and.
That was, all along, as usual
Don’t I say this every single time,
Till when will everyone’s heart go on?
(T/N: this is what he literally said, he meant to say till when will everyone’s love and support for him continue)
(Fans: giggle)
so much,
and I honestly don’t believe it will go on for so much, (go on) forever
(Fans: ehhhhhhhh)
Of Course
Of course, it would be good if it became such a relationship.
But right now with those feelings (T/N: feelings that it won’t continue forever),
I’ve overtook, an year, an year, an year and that has now (been) 6 years.
That is why I don’t want to believe in that even more so.
That is reversely, the feelings of wanting it to continue on forever,
because it gradually becomes bigger.
Therefore, If I believe in that.
(pause)
Some day, If that disappears
that is, that is,
I thought that regarding the feelings, (I would) become lonely
so reversely, I didn’t believe in it.
and all along did a mind control so as not to believe in that.
Well, even if that disappears, it is not lonely
To tell you the reason why,
till now, even right now the people who have come here,
if, in the past, ah later,
ah the next time, (even if they) are not able to come,
That is without a question, how do I say,
I am thinking that to me it is a miracle that they even came till now.
Though i keep saying this every time
For 6 years. Though I am releasing albums in Korea for 6 years, probably I am the only artist who hasn’t even once shown his songs or performance on a show.
Despite this, in Korea, in Japan as well, in China as well, like this, people always come, I think is a miracle.
(audience applause)
That’s why, it’s not that I don’t have the confidence.
If everyone do not appear the next time,
more than having bad feelings regarding that, reversely to those who came till now, I want to say I am thankful (to them).
Do you understand such feelings?
It is a bit difficult to express it in Japanese.
(audience applause)
Therefore, without giving up, continuously
if everyone comes, that is even if the numbers decline, even in a hall or amongst 100 people,
I will always seriously sing from my heart.
(audience applause)
What kind of artist I will become, I as well (have thought of it) many times, even now.
Recently, that is, reversely
In the past, I aimed at how am I going to be at the top.
Right now, I am thinking how will I come down.
(fans: eeeeh, Junsu laughs)
No, but really really
It’s not that I mean that i want to come down right now.
But it is that, regarding popularity and what do i say,
ah, even if I am not able to do this kind of stage,
in a small hall, even if it becomes smaller
if there are people who (want to) come to listen to my voice, my music and if they come,
really, I will always stand on the stage
At that time, I think maybe I can return (the favour), of my feelings of gratitude right now.
Right now, probably no matter how many times i say thank you, I will not be able to reciprocate. I think i will definitely loose to the feelings everyone has given to me.
At that time, for sure I will return (this favour) (T/N: the fans love and support)
even if i become old and am not able to do such intense dances.
The thing that is most important, what i think is important, is the form of seriously singing from my heart.
I have confidence that I will perfectly, always, show (T/N: referring to the form mentioned above) till the time I am standing on stage,
I will become such an artist.
(audience applause)
T/N: such deep thoughts, Junsu did his absolute best to sincerely express his thoughts in Japanese. I hope my translation did proper justice to what he wanted to express ><

We understand and applaud Junsu’s sincerity ❤ Such heartfelt feelings to the fans makes me love and support him more. 🙂
I love his sincerity, it brought tears.
It is such a huge loss to us all that JYJ hasn’t been able to perform on TV ~ praying that will change soon…
My goodness, I’m always astonished when seeing an absolute god-given talent, a true genius of an artist being this humble and down to earth. Hats off to you, OhMyGodSun, I swear even if I was deaf I’d want to listen to you singing. Your voice is beyond everything. Please don’t ever stop following your dream. The real ones will stay by your side 🙂
“The real ones will stay by your side :)”
soooo true!! and the real ones will increase in number once they appear on TV shows soon. With JYJ’s talent and personality, I strongly believe it. It’s their personality that attracts me in the first place. I’m just hoping against hope to see them perform live. Wish they will have a concert in the Philippines in the near future. 😉
🙂 Let’s hope we’ll see JYJ doing a great big world tour reaching out to all countries where they have a big fanbase. I see many people would love to see the guys in their country or at least at a place within reach (fingers crossed)
10 long years ago i got spinal meningitis and lost all hearing on my left side and partially on my right. dbsk helped me out of all the rehab and waiting to see if i had any hearing left. now i follow JYJ and am very grateful i can still hear well enough to listen even if it is hard to hear it all. they have inspired and helped me for a long time and i will follow them til i can’t any more. ❤
Oh, I meant my comment as encouragement, I guess I ended up quite expressive. I never thought it would be so true for someone. But when that’s the case then hats off to you too and all my respect. Battling such a severe condition must take a lot of courage and energy. For me JYJ are singers who give their all into their performances and when someone puts heart and soul into creating beautiful music, it certainly brings healing effect. In my case I have problems with depression and music is a way for me to overcome them.
you had a good comment. i was just reminded of how grateful i have been for dbsk and now jyj’s music and performances. they have been such inspirations to me and many many others 🙂
No junsu you are not the only artist, there’s Jaejoong and JYJ too all the 3 of you never shown their music on a show. to be honest I hate it when Yoochun or Junsu talk about the end of career as much as I understand what they mean I want to tell them they are still sooo young to dream big. 12 years career being in the TOP is huge for idols but I have never seen JYJ as idols. JYJ career was based on their artistic projects, they have not been in shows or were supported bu those Kpop festivals for idols and such. I think most of JYJ fans are not Kpop fans because we found out about JYJ in a diffrent way, we stayed loyal because JYJ deserve it. I hate to see them thinking they are idols who aged and should think how to end it. JYJ is band composed of artists not idols or dancers. I hope to see what kind of artists JYJ will be in their 40 🙂
I’m crying for them (JYJ). I’ve been a fan since the whole mess started 6 years ago (maybe even before) and I’ve also witnessed, along with everyone else, how cruel and unfair the industry is to them. And yet, despite all these things, Junsu (along with Jaejoong and Yoochun of course) proved to us that they are worth waiting for and worth fighting for. Hearing and seeing him (them) cry or worry about their future always bring tears to my eyes. It only shows that they are very serious and passionate about being artists who want to share that passion with everyone. I hope that, in the future, they’d finally be able to be free from all the inhibitions and hurdles obstructing them from doing and sharing what they love. And we, as their fans who have witnessed every struggle they’ve overcome, will be with them, supporting them, loving them, and guiding them to the place where they always deserve to be.
ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH FOR JYJ!
JYJ FIGHTING!!!
