Found another picture of the boys for their upcoming Japanese single “Break Out!” which will be released this January 2010. I love this picture since they look so gangster-ish. Cool! But I do have to say that Junsu’s hair looks a bit funny. LOL. :)

Max Matsuura Blog Update about THSK Best Album December 18, 2009

I know some people might view the release of the Best Album as something negative that’s why I decided to post this blog update by Avex CEO Max Matsuura. Please read the statement in BLUE and keep that in mind. Having a “Best Album” doesn’t always mean goodbye. It may just be a showcase – a reminder – of how successful an artist is. Now, let’s view this in a positive way, shall we? ;D

Max Matsuura Blog Update

Today at 14:00, we have decided to release information about Best Album. This is something that is already planned since the beginning of the year.

So it’s not something which we just suddenly decided lately at all.

We are still struggling.
Please understand that we never give up, we’re still seeking the very best way to promote them, our policy has never been changed.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

Writing something like this, maybe there’s a feel that it sounds a very businesslike.

But releasing a best album, it’s not a say “(They’re) going to break up!” to any artists.

This is something that has been decided long time ago.

Other “AVEX” artists indeed have always released their best album,
We know that releasing a best album may directs to many pros and cons, however

Up until now, we never give up anything, and we’re still doing the job we’re supposed to do.

Honestly, we don’t know the result yet, it’s impossible to promise anything, but the only thing we can promise is

The fact that we will always do our best just like we always tell.

Wow, this album sure is great and it has so many versions! But why is “Love in the Ice”, “Forever Love” and “Proud” not part of the list? :( If I got the message right, there are 8 songs, which the members have chosen, that will be part of this album and are not mentioned on the list. I just hope “Love in the Ice”, “Forever Love” and “Proud” were chosen by the members.

Anyway, I can’t wait for this album! :)

I think I’m liking the jacket pictures. They look so cool with their outfits, hairstyles and poses. For once, their Japanese single jacket photos are looking so rocker-ish and adventurous. Can’t wait to see the HQ pics!

CD + DVD

Also, here are some solo pictures of the boys from Tohomobile. I’m loving Jae’s messy hair (much like the one he had during their “Survivor” single) and Changmin’s “mature” hair. Chunnie’s hair looks weird AGAIN. But it’s a bit similar to his hair during the “Five in the Black” days.

DBSK’s total accumulated sales in 6 years reach 6 million copies(?) December 14, 2009

This is still somewhat unofficial but still, this is another thing we could be proud of our boys. Congratulations to our dear DBSK. Keep up the good work! May these guys create more great music and influence the lives of many people through their music. :)

TVXQ total album sales break 6million copies!

The preliminary report was out, recorded that the male group TVXQ has been selling 6 million copies album throughout their career both in South Korea and Japan.

The report announced that after the accumulation of sales from TVXQ’s Japan and South Korea studio album, special album, singles, and DVD, it was figured that the total sales reached 6 million copies. The result also includes the aggregate information of sales record from the international fans.

Eventhough it’s only an informal record, however it still proves the special figure of TVXQ as Asia best group.

Taking a look to TVXQ history in Korea for the last 5 years, the sales record of TVXQ 4th album ‘MIROTIC’ which broke 500,000 copies definitely stands out. For exact, the 4th album recorded sales for 540,000 copies. Total singles and album sales, including the 4th album is 2.058.000 copies, special albums recorded 283.000 copies, and Japan licensed album which is sold in Korea results in 525.000 copies, sums total of record sales for 2.866.000 copies overall in Korea alone.

Japanese sales record history is even more interesting. From the very first single released in Japan in November 2004, ‘Stay With Me Tonight’ to the latest 29th single release in last September from Jejung & Yuchun, ‘COLORS ~ Melody & Harmony~’, the group has recorded total sales of 1.788.000. In addition, the 4 released Japan albums and other special albums add 572.000 copies sold.

In fact, on last December 10th Japan largest TV cable USEN announced its annual broadcast rank and according to ‘USEN J-POP Comprehensive Annual Ranking’ (aggregate period of January 2nd to December 3rd), TVXQ’s ‘Stand by U’ was ranked the 2nd after Japan rookie singer JASMINE’s ‘Sad to Say’.

It’s not only that. In total 16 DVDs that are released both in Japan and South Korea, it records total number 774.000 copies sales.

If the entire total number of sales are calculated together, it results in 6.000.000 copies sold. While the calculation system is not thoroughly comparing all the album sales charts in Japan as well as considering the South Korea problem occurring, it’s believed that the sales number is likely to exceed 6 million.

This is a sad news but I think the cancellation of the event is inevitable at the moment. I somehow expected this since everything is getting complicated by the day but still, I feel really down after knowing this news. :’( But I guess, considering the situation of the boys right now, this decision is the better choice. It’s better for the boys to cancel this for now and just push through with it when they feel they ok again. We don’t want to see them try to entertain us and give us forced and fake smiles, right? This may be disappointing for now but let’s trust  and UNDERSTAND the members’ decision and hope to see their genuine bright similes in the near future.

Bigeast 4th FANCLUB EVENT” Cancellation Noticement

For all your even warmer support for Tohoshinki, thank you very much.
Today we have to deliver everyone a very important notice. We finally decided to cancel the “Bigeast 4th FANCLUB EVENT” which is planned to be held for one month next year.

We know that all Bigeast has been waiting for the event with much anticipation, therefore for us to write this announcement, we feel really sorry.

We think some of you may have already known from media that currently Tohoshinki is having some domestic problems and after we did much consultation and discussion with the members themselves, in the end we come to decision that we need to cancel this fan club event.

For all Bigeast who has been watching over Tohoshinki in warm support, we again have to apologize that the result turns out like this.
We hope for your understanding that we just can announce this today.
About any refund for this event, we will contact you later.

Bigeast secretariat strongly hopes that you all continue supporting Tohoshinki activities as five members. Thank you for the future of Tohoshinki.

- Bigeast secretariat -

For everyone who are always supporting Tohoshinki, Thank you very much.
Encouragement from Bigeast gives us more power. Nevertheless, to always give you such worriness, we feel really sorry.

Now that we have to stop the fanclub event you all have been looking forward, we have to apologize even more.

We always have feeling to create a stage as professionals so that all of you can enjoy the circumtances, and in front of all Bigeast, we have will to be honest.

Afterall, when our true smiling face can not be shown yet we still stand on stage, it means that we lie to all fans there, thus we decided to cancel the event.

We need time to organize our mind, and finally we would like to meet everyone with a true smile.

Really sorry to cause you worriness.

Here’s a message from Max Matsuura:

We have announced the notice from supporting fanclub Bigeast secretariat and comments from Tohoshinki members,

It’s regretful about the cancellation of the event,
for all fans who have been waiting for this, I truly apologize.

The five members feel reluctant, but they’re considering the present circumstances.

After repetitive discussions over discussions in which included the members, it’s still a tough decision.

Indeed, for today’s announcement, we ask for your understanding.

As quoted from the secretariat, we will continue to support the five members activities in much power.

Thank you.

My heart is also going on with you, Bigeast….

I still can’t believe Bigeastation only has three episodes left. So sad. *cries* But at least the last episode will be hosted by all five members. They’re ending it just the way they started it – with all five of them together. I’m gonna watch out for this episode. I hope the atmosphere won’t be awkward but instead a very cheerful one just so it would leave a good memory to all the listeners of the show.
