In relation to the article I previously posted, here’s a news article from Allkpop about DBSK making two Oricon records for this week. Can there be anything more amazing than this? :D

Jaejoong and Micky are on top of the Oricon Weekly

Last week, Jaejoong and Micky of TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki enjoyed much success, crushing the competition, with the release of their new single album “COLORS ~Melody and Harmony / Shelter.” A week later it’s on top once again, this time on the Oricon Weekly Sales Chart, selling nearly 150,000 units (149,363 to be exact). Good Night, Sweet Dreams to the competition because they crushed the competition once again as VAMPS came in at a distant second with only 31,504 units sold (COLORS first day sales nearly tripled the second place total weekly sales).

The album was practically first every day on the singles album chart this past week, so it was only a foregone conclusion that they would be first on the Oricon Weekly. This marks the seventh time that TVXQ has reached first on the Oricon Weekly Chart, which breaks their own record for a foreign artist… but this isn’t the only good news.

“TVXQ 4th Live Tour 2009 – The Secret Code – FINAL In Dome” has also achieved first on both the Oricon Daily and Weekly DVD Charts, the first foreign artists in over 20 years to do so! This marks the first time that they have been able to accomplish such an impressive feat. This is very impressive for them and their popularity in Japan keeps on growing. Congratulations and hopefully their issues with SM are resolved soon. Make sure to check out the ONETVXQ Forums.

A short message of thanks from me… October 6, 2009

For the first time in a long while, I’m posting an entry which is not DBSK-related. But I just felt the need to do this to somehow show my gratitude to all the people who remembered me today.

Before the day ends, I want to thank my friends, officemates, and everyone who sent their birthday greetings to me (personally, through SMS, or facebook) today. Even of it’s just a simple “Happy Birthday”, the fact that you guys remembered it despite your seemingly busy schedules is already a big thing for me. I want you to know that I really appreciate your efforts and your birthday greetings and wishes made my day.

Also, thank you to my family – my parents, my aunties, my cousins, nephews and nieces for coming here to celebrate my birthday with me even if I already arrived quite late tonight. I’ve always celebrated my birthday every year with you guys ever since young and I’m thankful that even if I already turned 21 years old today, you’re still here to celebrate it with me. I  hope you enjoyed our simple gathering as much as I did. :D

Again, I want to say THANK YOU/SALAMAT/KAMSAMHIDA/ARIGATOU to everyone who have been part of this special day. You guys rock!

Have you guys already watch All About DBSK Season 3 DVD? If you already have, I’m sure you can remember the members laughing while talking about “airport Junsu” on the Saipan Vacation part where they were talking in their hotel room. Many fans, including me, were curious of what “airport Junsu” really means and why the members are teasing Junsu for it. Well, no need to be curious anymore. AIRPORT JUNSU is finally revealed!

WARNING: Be prepared to laugh your heart out when you read about “Airport Junsu”. I nearly fell-off my chair while reading this! LOL! Hahaha! :D :D :D

Fans’ comments about DBSK (A-Nation ‘09 Tokyo day 2) August 25, 2009

Awww… this is such a nice fan account. I particularly love how the one who posted this took note of the impressions of the fans of other artists about DBSK. This only goes to show that it’s really easy to like the boys and be impressed with their personalities and performances. I hope those fans become DBSK fans, too! :D

090823 TVXQ Fan Comments: a-nation Ajinomoto Stadium in Tokyo, JAPAN Day 2

Second day at the Ajinomoto Stadium~
It was obvious that all five TVXQ members were having a really good time.
Their stage was just incredible!!

And it happened again today! The whole place was filled with the green towels of TVXQ!
When our TVXQ appeared onstage, the whole place turned to red mixed with blue theme of
a-nation which blended into purple. Once again, we felt as if we were standing in a TVXQ concert!

Ayu fans who were standing right behind us were saying, “TVXQ fans are amazing, would our Ayu okay?!”
But of course, TRF and Ayu fired up the whole audience at the end. It was really cool to observe that these young ladies after TVXQ’s performance were saying, “Wow, no wonder they have so many fans. They can not only sing well, but their dances are superb on top of the fact that they are all so nice-looking. Oh no, I think I already like them.” “Me too!” said her friends. ^^

An a-nation blog site (T/N: I am not sure which site it is) mentioned that there were TVXQ fans clearing the stadium after the concert on the 1st day and they were being praised by their good act. I was so happy to hear about that. We should be good fans to support our TVXQ.

We were cheering Changmin who was standing right in front of us (Lucky us!). When he started to sing, his microphone was not working properly, but it recovered soon. He tried to switch it, but the stuff could not give him a new one. Maybe because of Changmin’s microphone situation today that Jejung was the one who said “Next song is~~~” at the 2nd day of a-nation Tokyo.

As it was Jejung who said “Next song is~~~” we were not sure if we are supposed to scream “No!~~~~~~~”.
We did not want to break Jejung’s heart.

When it is not Changmin, we fans do not scream “No~~~~~~~!!!” in a really loud voice, which we felt that something was missing. ^^

Oh, I forgot to report that on day 1, the male fans of Ayu who were standing right next to us were shocked and stared at us when we TVXQ fans yelled “No~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!” (In Japanese, え~~~~~~; direct translation would be “WHA~~~~~T??!”) to Changmin. They could not believe we fans were so uncooperative to Changmin. ^^ But then after they saw us laughing, they could tell that there were strong ties between us fans and our TVXQ.

It is our love to Changmin that we scream at him every time he says, “Next song is…”,
A love-hate relationship, kind of like a long-time married couple? Hahaha

Junsu was so cute again today. He said ” I love you~~” in a very unique way which melted our hearts.
Other stars’ fans were saying “Wow, he is so cute and fun.”
He looked very happy and energetic again today.

Jejung….. How come sweat which is supposed not to be pretty suddenly turns into beautiful sparkles when it is on his face and body?
We were speechless when we heard his sweet voice which is well-matched with his beauty.

Yuchun made many new fans again when he sang his part,
“Kimigaireba~~~~!” &
“Wasurekaketa~~~~!”
His unique husky and powerful voice was sexy as ever.

Yunho said “Are you having fun~~~?!”
Fan screamed “YEAH~~~~~~~~!!!!!”
“Wish to have more fun~~~~?!”
“YEAH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!
It was as if the whole stadium was screaming like there was an earthquake.

People around us were saying, “Wow, these fans sounds like they are one big family.
Going to a TVXQ concert should be fun!”

We were happy to hear that, but at the same time, we thought that TVXQ should hold
their next concert at least 5 days at the TOKYO DOME.

Yunho, as he left the stage with the members, he yelled “WE LOVE YOU~~~~~!!”.

At the end of a-nation concert, Ayu, who is the queen of J-POP had a green TVXQ towel again on the second day to clearly show her support towards our beloved TVXQ!

An open letter to DBSK August 4, 2009

I was restless right at the moment I woke up this morning because I did not have a good sleep thinking of what the members will release in the press conference. Up to the moment I reached the office, I couldn’t concentrate much on my work because of my anxiousness and worry. During my lunch break, I secretly browsed the internet for any news about the press conference that was held. Just so you know, although we’re not totally prohibited to surf the internet at work, we’re also not allowed to do that. Our PCs were SUPPOSED to have no internert connection at all but somehow mine has one. I seldom open it since I know it’s not allowed but I couldn’t wait any longer ’till I get home to read the news.

I was really happy when JaeJoong , Yoochun, and Junsu said that DBSK has no plans of disbanding and that their relationship with the other two members is ok. It’s like a large weight, which I was carrying since this weekend, was lifted off my shoulders when I read their statement about the rumored disbandment. At least that eased all our worries of them breaking up.

But more than the happiness I felt, I was really shaking in anger when I read what the three members revealed about their contract with SM and the way SM treats them. I was enraged when I knew how UNFAIR and UNJUST they treat DBSK (and probably all the artists under them). I said yesterday that I despise SM but what I’m feeling right now is beyond that. I don’t usually curse (as in hardcore cursing) but I unconciously mouthed a series of curses a while ago when I read this news. Good thing no one heard me or else I’ll be reprimanded by my superior. But seriously, I was telling my officemate a while ago (who is a KAT-TUN fan but I’ve converted her into a DBSK fan, too) that if I were in Korea now, I would have gone to SM and burned that building together with all those heartless and greedy monsters who doesn’t give a damn on the welfare of their artists. Until now, I’m still angry but thank goodness I’ve calmed down a bit.

What more can I comment about the things the boys said? I couldn’t say anything more because it’s so obvious that the boys were treated unfairly. I pity the boys so much. Thinking about it now, I want to cry because I never knew they were under those circumstances. I mean I do know that SM doesn’t treat their artists the best way possible but I never imagined they could be this cruel especially to DBSK who has brought so much success and profit to the company. It’s infuriating to know that they’re not being treated the right way. As if not being compensated the way they should be is not enough, they’re freedom of choice and rights – not only as artists but as persons – are also being violated. SM only uses them as tools to gain profits which is totally unfair and degrading to all the DBSK members. They are not money-making machines which the company could use to their advantage. Like what I have said before, I’m happy for and proud of JaeJoong, Yoochun, and Junsu for coming forward and taking action on this situation. They’ve endured so much for the past five years and I think it’s time for them to make a move to change their situation. This path they chose sure is a tough and complicated one. Many people and many of their activities got affected. Even their personal lives and the way people view them have changed. But as they say in order to gain something, sacrifices should be made. And I applaud JaeJoong, Yoochun, and Junsu for having the courage to take on this challenge and make those sacrifices for the betterment of their situation.

I’ve also come to realize one thing in this whole scenario. You know what that is? It’s OUR – the fans – role on this whole issue. After thinking about it, I honestly feel so guilty because DBSK always made it a point to make us happy by giving their all in every performance and always smiling in front of us but it turns out that in reality, they are not ok. We were all enjoying what they’re giving us – being excited on their concerts and doing everything for them to go to our country and have a performance there – without even realizing that maybe our demands and wishes are sometimes the reasons why they were silently suffering this kind of fate. Yes, SM is definitely at fault but I can’t help but think that we also somehow triggered SM to give the boys this kind of treatment because of our endless demands for DBSK. SM capitalized on the fact that we’re “hungry” for DBSK and so they grabbed this opportunity to make more money by making the boys work harder than they can actually manage.

And so I would like to tell JaeJoong, Yoochun, Junsu, Changmin, and Yunho that I’m deeply sorry for being part of the reason for all your suffering. As a fan, I promised to support and protect you but it turns out that my longing to see more of you might have aggravated the already bad situation you are in. Sorry for not noticing the pain behind the smile on your faces. I always act like I know you in and out but in reality, I know nothing about you. I only know the things you say on your interviews but I never really knew what’s happening after every show and every concert. I had no idea of how hard “fulfilling the wishes of your fans” was for all of you. I always call myself a true and loyal fan but in truth, I’m nowhere near that because I really haven’t done much for you. I might not be able to do much in the future, too but one thing I can assure you is that you have my love and support now and forever. I’ve never grown this attached to an artist before and so I want to be your fan and keep you forever. I promise to be a better fan from now on and always remember that no matter what happens, I – along with the rest of the PEARL RED OCEAN – will always be here for you.

I will always have faith in you and you’ll always hold a special place in my heart.

DBSKforever5

ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH. FOREVER FIVE. BELIEVE IN DONG BANG SHIN KI.

DBSK held their 3rd Asia Tour – Mirotic Concert in Beijing yesterday and here’s a news on how successful the concert was last night:

TVXQ: An Explosion Of Cheers From 40,000 Audiences

mconcertbeijing
mconcertbeijing2
TVXQ’s “Mirotic” Tour arrived in Beijing, receiving a standing ovation from 40,000 Chinese audiences.

Besides the Seoul, Nanjing, and Bangkok concerts — on 11th July, at 7.30pm, “TVXQ The 3rd Asia Tour Concert Mirotic In Beijing” was held the Beijing Workers’ Stadium, garnering explosive cheers from an audience of 40,000 people.

A thing to note is that the large-scale Beijing Workers’ Stadium is used only by mega-stars like Andy Lau and Jacky Zhang for their solo concerts.

On the day of the concert, for the audience’s safety, 3,200 Chinese policemen were deployed, once again proving that TVXQ is the top group in Asia.

TVXQ started the concert with “Hey!”, “Are You A Good Girl” and “Rising Sun”. Besides performing the songs in their 4th album, they also included hit songs like “Hug” and “Balloon”, as well as the members’ solo performances, performing a total of 26 songs. Unable to escape from TVXQ’s charm, MIROTIC has captured the attention of fans from around the world.

Not only did the Chinese fans use red light sticks for TVXQ, they also prepared different coloured light sticks for each and every members’ solo performance, creating eye-catching images.

Throughout the concert, the audience stood in their seats dancing along with TVXQ, and reacting enthusiastically, letting one fully experience the charm of cheering together with the crowd.

After the performance, TVXQ expressed their thoughts on the concert, “Coming back after a year to have a concert in Beijing, we’re really thankful to keep receiving such warm cheers. Once again, we’re able to feel the love from the Chinese fans, and we really treasure the time we have spent together.”

DO NOT REMOVE/ADD ON ANY CREDITS

Our dear boys are really big in all of Asia. I’m so proud of them because not a lot of artists can reach the same heights as they have reached so far. They’re so successful now and are recogized all over Asia and other parts of the world as well. Only artists as big as them could manage to attract that many fans in one concert. I won’t be surprised if one day they would be performing at a venue that can accomodate 100K people (if ever such venue exists) and still manage to have it fully packed. Hahaha.

I will be posting the pictures from their Mirotic concert in Beijing some other day because I’m still in the process of collecting and organizing the pictures before I finally upload a zip folder and share a download link. If you still haven’t noticed, I’m not the type who post stuff by parts (or in separate entries). I only do that if I really have to. As much as possible I want to share it all in one go. So I hope you guys can wait for the pics and the DL link for just a few more days. I have with me about 200+ pics already but I’m still waiting for more uploads from dnbn, baidu, and other sites. :D

P.S. Are there any Filipinos out there (specifically those coming from Manila or Pampanga maybe?) who will be watching the Mirotic concert in Shanghai this coming October? I really want to go but I don’t have anyone to go with. I’m still not sure if my parents would allow me since my mom found out about the A(H1N1) case that happened in their Mirotic concert in Bangkok but I still want to try my luck and ask permission again (even though by the looks of it I will really have a hard time convincing them). I want to make sure I can go with someone before I actually ask them to allow me to attend the concert. And anyone knows how to purchase concert tickets? I HAD the url of the website where the tickets are being sold online bookmarked but I somehow lost it. I think it might have been accidentally deleted when I was deleting some of the pages on my bookmark list. T_T

The boys are also featured on Arena 37′C magazine August issue. Their pics from this mag are much better than the ones from Pati-Pati. They look so playful, relaxed, and innocent. The pics I love the most are that of Changmin where his eyes are closed and he seemed like he’s praying and the pics of Junsu where he was holding a cherry and playing the Rubik’s cube. But all the pictures are worth looking at and keeping! LOL.

First set of fancams from Tokyo Dome concert. :D

090704 – Share the World + Doushite

090704 – Ment

The boys look so tired but they are happy. I can see it in their faces. :D

090704 – Take Your Hands

090704 – Red Ocean during Soulmate duet

The red ocean is so pretty. IN MY OPINION, no one can match the beauty of the red ocean. Only Cassiopeia, Bigeast, and DBSK’s international fans can create such a lovely image.

Just on blog leave =) March 21, 2009

Hello my dear friends and readers!

I’ve read all your comments and although I wasn’t able to reply to them, I want you to know that I was really touched with the comments you left and I appreciate all your encouraging words. I’m sorry for making you guys panic, sad, or worried because of my last post. I just want to say that I WON’T QUIT ON BLOGGING - well, at least not now. Even though I was really quite affected by the recent event that happened, that won’t be enough reason for me to stop writing and updating you guys with news about our beloved DBSK. So sorry for making you guys worry!

BUT I MIGHT be on blog leave for the next week or two. I would still TRY to update but I’m not promising anything because with my tight schedule the next few weeks, I might not have the time and energy to do so. Work is definitely eating all my time and energy because people in the office just think that I’m some superwoman who can do everything all at the same time. I have to do so much work and what’s worse is I have to do it all at the same time and meet the deadlines. Although the hotlinking and copying without crediting me issues are two of the reasons why I was quite losing my enthusiasm to write, those weren’t the main reasons. I’m kinda losing it because my work has so much to do with writing. Therefore whenever I think of writing anything, my mind almost automatically equates it with work. Plus, my mind is so drained and tired from all the writing I do at work so when I come home and attempt to post a blog entry, I couldn’t come up with sensible things to write or comment about anything anymore. I think my writing is becoming monotonous and nonsensical by the day and I seriously hate that. That’s not what I want. That’s why I guess I need some time to rest and regain my enthusiasm and love for writing again.

I hope you guys would understand that and would continue to visit this blog even if I won’t be able to update it for a couple of days. Now it’s my turn to tell you to please don’t leave me during my short hiatus and hopefully once I come back, you’ll still be there, ok? But promise, I’ll try to update from time to time and come back sooner. =)

Anyway as a way of me TEMPORARILY signing-off, I’ve posted quite a lot of pictures and interview translations today. Sorry if my comments are quite short (I didn’t even have the chance to comment on the boys’ personal interviews). I’m just too drained from a whole week of work and I think all my brain cells have died. Hahaha. Here are the links for my posts today. I figured I would list them and provide links just in case you miss them because they’re too many. LOL.

Obstinate people DO EXIST and they are UTTERLY ANNOYING March 17, 2009

Posted by lovetohateme in Uncategorized.
12 comments

Yes, and these stubborn people are pissing me off big time.

I found out that there are some people who ENTIRELY COPY my entries and post them on their own blogs WITHOUT even crediting me and keeps on HOTLINKING the pictures I post. Wow, how  much nicer can these people get? And if you were wondering how I found out, I told you I have my ways of tracking these annoying people who keeps on doing these annoying things.

If you haven’t noticed yet, I am seriously pissed right now. I mean, who wouldn’t be after seeing your OWN POSTS being used by other people without even minding to give you credit for your effort? Take note, she did not only copy one post but four (4) OF MY SELF-WRITTEN posts and I only got the chance to scan up to the third page of her blog. I don’t know if she copied more than that since I didn’t scan the succeeding pages.

People, how many times have I said that you should always make proper credits when taking out anything from this blog? I mean that’s like a standard procedure for almost all sites and it’s even written on the “rules” section of this blog. Looks like a lot of people are really too lazy to read, huh? But I think it’s also common sense to include credits if you’re taking anything made by other people, right?

This might not be a big deal to you but it is to me (and I’m sure to a lot of writers too). I may not be good at writing but writing is something I love doing. All my written compositions, whether blog entries, essays, school papers, or reflective compositions, are things that I really treasure because I really devote time and effort in writing them. Seeing other people use them as if they’re their own compositions is just irritating and disappointing on my part. It would have been ok if you’re only copying the parts which I quoted and got from other sites and posting them to your own sites without adding me to the credits. That’s totally fine with me since I’m really not the one who wrote those things so I don’t mind not being credited. BUT copying and re-posting a FULL entry, which includes my PERSONAL OPINIONS AND COMMENTS, without crediting me is a different story. Some may find this situation – having other people re-post their works on other sites – flattering but I DON’T. I’m not exerting so much effort in writing and expressing what’s on my mind on this blog just for other people to take it out and claim it as if it’s their own.

Another thing that is seriously annoying me is the fact that people still HOTLINK pictures. For people who insist on hotlinking, which part of PLEASE DO NOT HOTLINK don’t you understand? It’s just a simple request right? I’m not even asking you not to copy the pictures and re-upload them anywhere else.  After all, sharing it with you is my purpose for uploading them and posting them here. All I’m asking is for you to NOT HOTLINK meaning SAVE IT ON YOUR COMPUTER AND THEN UPLOAD THEM ON YOUR OWN PHOTOBUCKET, IMAGESHACK, OR WHICHEVER PHOTO HOSTING SITE YOU USE. Very, simple right? But how come many people still can’t follow this simple request? Can’t you just do this simple request as a sign of gratitude to me (and other uploaders out there) who take the time to find these pictures, save them on our computers, and upload them again just to share them with you? It really makes me sad thinking how some people can be so ungrateful and unappreciative of others’ efforts.  I swear if you people do not stop your habit of hotlinking, I will NEVER POST PICTURES again.

SO basically what I’m trying to say (and I hope you read and understood what I have said very well) is to:

1) MAKE PROPER CREDITS WHEN TAKING OUT ANYTHING FROM THIS BLOG ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE RE-POSTING A FULL BLOG ENTRY ON ANOTHER WEBSITE. It wouldn’t take too much effort to write “Credit: lovetohateme@wp” right? If you’re too lazy to do that, then I suggest you just make your own entry by getting the  quoted info/news and stating your own understanding/opinion/comments regarding the topic.

2) STRICTLY NO HOTLINKING OF PICTURES. Simple as that.

There you go. I just had to say that because if I won’t call the attention of these people, they just might think  thatwhat they’re doing is fine with me. I won’t name names or blogsites because it’s not my style to embarrass people. I just hope whoever those people are, they would stop doing these things because it’s seriously irritating and disapponting on my part. I love blogging and updating so much that I wouldn’t want to come to a point where I have to stop doing what I love just because I had come to my limits due to these stubborn and ungrateful people. Please stop it now and don’t let me be forced to stop writing on this blog just because you refuse to abide by my requests.
