TVfXQ and JAPANESE ANIME

Recently, the members of TVfXQ are very into Bleach. In one of the many interviews they faced, Xiah Jun Su even said that "Bleach is my life"! ^^

The following is copypasted from one of the many thousand pages of the DBSK thread in soompi, a long time ago.

WHAT CARTOON CHARACTER TVXQ WANTS TO BE
Recently, TVXQ was on a program and this question was posed to them: What animation character would you like to become?
Their answers were somewhat unexpected.
Yunho's choice was: Tsukasa Domyoji in Hana yori Dango. His reason was because he felt that 'This character isn't a bad character, and is simple minded/ innocent"[T/n: The chinese will know this character as Dao Ming Si in Meteor Garden. This was Jerry Yen's character]
Junsu's choice was: Sun Wu Kong/Monkey God in Journey to the West because he was teleport around in seconds and he can ride on clouds.
Changmin's choice was Hanamichi Sakuragi in Slam Dunk
Jaejoong says he wants to be like Junsu and chose a character from Journey to the West as well. His choice was the Bronze Man. [Those Shaolin monks :x]Yoochun wants to be Totoro in Totoro because he says Totoro looks cute waiting for the bus

If i have the time, I'm gonna post DRAWINGS of each member superimposed in their chosen anime character! ^^

concert update!!!

JADEL_LING's gonna relive the experience of that wonderful night TVfXQ performed at Stadium Merdeka in KL! It happened exactly one month ago! Awesome!
24TH NOVEMBER 2007 SATURDAY
TVfXQ 2nd ASIA LIVE TOUR ‘O’



Our seats turned out to be quite good after all because we get plastic chairs on grass and our seats are close to the middle so we can actually see them very well if they happen to walk on the left side aisle… I thought all along that I’d dislike this section since it’s YooSu side and not HoMin side… but what do you know… Chang Min, Jae Joong and Jun Su walked over here quite often! Man... Chang Min has the most handsome face on earth and he’s just so nice and happy and sweet. Jun Su’s unbelievably cheerful and bouncy, especially during Balloons when he’s happily moving around in the giant toy aeroplane. Jae Joong came over a few times but had his butt facing us for awhile during one of the songs~ lol~

Wow this time people guarding the entrances, exits and all aisles are real security guards in army uniform! They’re really fierce too in nabbing those sneakily taking videos/pictures or those standing up when they should be sitting down. I did stand a couple of times because everyone’s blocking my view and in the encore, Hug, I had no choice but to stand on my chair because I simply can’t see anything. OMG songs towards the ending like Drive, Balloons, and Hug encore was the happiest moment ever…. Mostly because Jun Su was there so close by, nodding up and down cheerfully in his aeroplane.

I have obtained the order of songs from soompi’s "katsukix". Thanks very much!

1 Phantom - everyone was estatic as this song started right after the intro. The boys are finally here and performing!
2 Million Men
3 The Way U Are - LOL there was a 'war between human and beast' theme in this song and Jae Joong was screaming "It's about the way u are!!!" There was a part where Yun Ho saw Chang Min cleverly struck a sword at the beast behind him as if he knew it was coming, it's really cool!
4 Rising Sun - this song especially got us very excited as we knew the dance moves to it and we loved every moment ^^
5 One - I guess the intro for this song was the blue screen with an underwater play where 5 guys were lowered down headfirst in swimming motions. they moved with their backs facing us and were slow and graceful. My cousin Melissa said they probably weren't really Dong Bang, though, as they disappeared below the stage and the boys appeared soon after from below the stage.
6 Miduhyo
7 You're my Miracle
8 Xiah's solo - the intro had him showing off his dancing skills in a subway-themed place with lotsa hip hop punks and stuff... Xiah is so "Da God" in this performance of My Page, his brilliance shone through his gold costume and flexible body as he danced and sang for all of us screaming fans. We chanted "Kim Jun Su! Kim Jun Su!" so happily for him <3
9 Micky's solo - He tried to deliver a smooth, soothing performance singing One Last Cry. It was heartwarming. I heard he kinda got off-key abit, I'm not really sure... Lots of Micky fans were happily singing along.
10 U-Know's solo - Jiunn considered this performance of Spokesman to be one of the best and most memorable ones of the concert! It's so great and energetic!OK Yun Ho had a back injury so he couldn't dance vigorously. He still tried to give 100% effort anyway, rapping with another Korean guy whom we couldn't recognize. Some say he's Henry from Super Junior, some say no, he isn't Henry.
11 Hey Girl
12 I wanna hold you
13 Whatever they say (from the clip D: )
14 You only love - beautiful, beautiful song, one of my ultimate favorites.
15 Max's solo - I didn't know that the intro had 5 guys silhouetted in black playing musical intruments... and Chang Min was saying Ok this, Ok that... when everything finally ran smoothly - the music playing perfectly - he came out to sing When I First Kissed You. He made us fall in love with jazz because he had smooth moves and a powerful voice manipulated to swing around the fluctuating notes. Too bad during this perf there weren’t many glowing sticks in the air – I hope it’s only because everyone’s tired and had to rest! ^^
16 Hero's solo - Jae Joong’s much-awaited solo, Crying. I say “much-awaited” because there were people passing notes around telling everyone to open their mobile phones to shine light for Jae Joong during his solo. Turns out, there were many people seated at the back obliging to that. Well Jae Joong performed admirably well as usual, taking his fans to cloud nine ^^
17 Drive - the introductory video showed the boys' visit to the car showroom and the junkyard in fast motion and cartoonish music so the song got everyone cheering gleefully, it was just so cute ^^ Jun Su walked over to the left side a few times bouncing up and down.
18 Dangerous Mind - this song has another 'war' theme to it - scenes from a war zone and children hurt and all - and Dong Bang's performance got everyone just as excited anyway
19 Tri-angle - Micky was wearing this green tops with only strings like seaweed baring his chest and whenever he and Max appeared close up on screen, the fans' screams will get louder. Max was wearing a very wide-collared top that reveals his chest as well whenever he bent low. Jang Ri In sang BoA's part! She appeared in a higher platform somewhere onstage and tried her best trying to project as much power as she could into her voice while trying to keep steady at the same time. A lot of people said she looked very pretty ^^
20 O - Jung Ban Hap - Guys dressed in army uniform marched waved giant flags around for this song ^^ It was one of the most exciting performances with everyone on their feet and euphoria running high, especially the dancing and the shouting of "O! ~ JUNG! ~ BAN! ~ HAP! ~ ~ HO! HO!" Jun Su pulled off the solo dance in the intro in place of Yun Ho. Jun Su is really very good at sustaining his super high form, dancing and singing all night in so many songs ^^
21 Remember - ironically (or rather intentionally), the intro vid is themed "Memories".
22 Timeless - I really didn't expect a Timeless performance until I learned from soompi that Jang Ri In arrived in KL a day before Dong Bang. woohoo! the performance was not bad, the fans were singing along in a trance ~
23 Balloons - They showed the animation clip considered by now a classic by TVfXQ fans. It got everyone so childishly happy, especially Jun Su!
24 Hi Ya Ya - I really love this song as it was performed right after Balloons to keep the "happiness" momentum up :p Plus everyone was too estatic to sit down - the boys were running everywhere giving out goodies from 'magic bags'. Jun Su threw random flowers and gifts at our section - lucky us!
25 Pabo - One of my favorite slow songs from TVfXQ. Was it this song that they sang on a rotating platform wearing charming white suits? No I think that was Remember. There was a song where they each stood on a rising tower-like platforms at the corners of the stage extensions. Chang Min's one won't go up at first and he was so cute being stuck down there trying to sing perfectly, maintaining his cool.
26 Hug - They bade us farewell and went backstage while everyone chanted 'Encore! Encore!" Then they came out to perform this last song^^ When it came to the "Go U-Know! Go U-Know!" part, they went "Go Jun Su! Go Jun Su!" instead.
Yun Ho was kinda down that night, probably because he couldn't perform as vigorously as he liked. Nevertheless, they all seemed to enjoy themselves very much. Some fans stayed back to sing 'I'll Be There' and Happy Birthday to Xiah. I heard that the boys went to Q-Bar in Sunway after the concert and they celebrated there until 5am! They stayed at JW Marriott Hotel in KL and went back to Korea late at night the following day. Their concert was such a blast, TheStar reported that 12,000 people turned up for it, double of that last year! Way to go, Dong Bang! ^^

Palms~<3

We are all curious creatures right???
from their family background, to birthdates, to even bloodtype..downright to even their palms!!
haha~

This pic is to give you all a clear view on palmistry. It's from wikipedia:)
In-depth information: here!

-YUNHO

The most obvious thing on his palm is the line cutting across. It shows that he has great wisdom. There's a traditional saying that if it cuts on the left palm, he is a great leader. If it cuts on his right palm, he is great at handling finance.

His palm has many messy lines which indicates that he is always doing hardwork throughout his life. He is always think about other people and very busy with other people's problems, therefore makes him tired and always busy.

With this kind of hand, if he moves towards the good side, he will be respected by others. His type of hand is also very strong and when he hits people, he doesn't know whether it is painful to others or not.

LIFE LINE: There's small sicknesses throughout his whole life, but it won't obstruct him greatly.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): smooth & extensive career. He is very career minded and hardworking. He will work his way all up to be successful. However, because of this, little sicknesses and his character of always looking after other people's problems grows out from here.

-JAEJOONG

In general, his health, wealth, love, and career will get better only during his late years.
LIFE LINE: Long line indicates long life, but his health is average.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): He might meet rough times during his career. But his career will be back on track at the end. He has to be careful of evil people as his fate is to meet many bad people like this-.- His wealth line isn't really good at the front part, indicating average wealth in his young days. However, it gets better when he's older.
HEART LINE: Lots of hard times in his love life. He will have a lot of relationships in his life too. However, after marriage, he will be stable. During his golden years, he would lead a happy life.

-JUNSU

He is like yunho's palm, has a lot of messy lines. He goes through a lot of experiences in life.

LIFE LINE: Long life and good health.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): He is intelligent and knows how to grab on an opportunity. He has a smooth career life and will be successful at a young age. His wealth at a young age is better. His wealth line for the early years is the clearest among 5.
HEART LINE: He has an early love life and there's a slight of indication that he will two-time. He will also marry late. Even though he reaches his middle age, there are many opposite sex will approach him.

-YUCHUN
He has a Water Hand, which means emotions are more important than reasons. This kind of hand makes a good poet and musician. They also go very well in the beauty and fashion industry.

LIFE LINE: His life line is long too. But the front part is unclear, indicating bad health during his young days. However, during his middle years, he will have good health.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): He is witty and doesn't lack in intelligence. He is able to manage a few careers together at one time. However, his wealth line is weak. Hence, it explains that his account has only 3 digit? haha
HEART LINE: Very messy line shows he is popular with opposite sex. It is his fate that there will be many girls appear throughout his life. He will marry at least twice in his life.

-CHANGMIN
LIFE LINE: A long one too. He also has clear veins indicating very good health.
HEAD LINE (CAREER): Clear head line indicates that he is very intelligent. He is very hardworking in his career and his career starts early. It simply means that he will reach his peak of success during his middle years. There will also be a transition in his career too.
HEART LINE: His love life starts later in his life. At the start, he will be very loyal, but at the end of his marriage life, there might be some problems occur. He needs to handle them seriously. His golden years would be comfortable and easy.

Anyways, these are done by other fans, I'm just translating from chinese forums:)
I actually had this very long ago, just that I do not have time to post it up!
So thanks to those fans that wrote abt their palm analysis!!
But, I do add in my little knowledge on palmistry too! Had a little interest in astrology a few years back :)
I'm not a copycat, I compile ;)

EYECANDY~!
Press Conference in Sunway Hotel, Malaysia @ 17 Oct 2007

Sleeping Habits

Let's go right to the basic of life.
Everyone needs sleep to recharge.
They are normal humans too, but famous homo sapiens eh!
That's why it's worth talking about :D

-YUNHO

Our leader here loves to SMS before sleeping, and sometimes SMS halfway and fell asleep. Because of their tight schedule, they always fly everywhere and airplane becomes their beds. Usually, jaeho sits together, yoosu and changmin with manager. Before he sleeps, he'll take of his shoes (actually all 5 also love to take off their shoes before sleeping). Then, he'll take the small pillow, place it at jaejoong's shoulder, and sleeps on jaejoong's shoulders.

-JAEJOONG

Jaejoong loves sleeping with his stomach on the bed and NAKED (omg..nose bleeding..). Actually sleeping with your stomach on bed is bad, because it increases the curvature of the spine. Hence adding more pressure to the spine joints and also hurt the tendons at front. When part of the body weight is pressing down on the ribs and intestines, it will affect your breathing. if you sleep facing down, you need to twist your neck too, again not good la. However, sleeping NAKED is good. Without the clothes wrapping around you, you are able to relax and your blood flows smoothly. This helps you to sleep deeply.

yay!! so i encourage all 5 of htem to sleep NAKED!!! It helps widen girl fans imagination, you know!!! hehehe ;)

-JUNSU

He looks very active in shows, but at night when he sleeps, he is very quiet. He loves putting his hand underneath the pillow. He has good sleeping habits. However, when they move around attending their schedules and stays at hotel, his sleeping partner is always changmin. As known, changmin has the worst sleeping habits. Junsu got kicked by changmin is normal. So, our cute junsu can only take revenge by asking for his bank account no. while changmin is sleeping-.-"

Haha..he is like the most being bullied by the other 4 of them. even sleeping also he will be disturbed-.-" haha

-YUCHUN

As we know that he is from USA, he has a habit of hugging something at his hands and legs as well. He sleeps just like a little kid. He looks cute sleeping like this, but it is not a good habit. It shows that he feel insecure. Another habit which has not changed since he debut is he does not like to wake up early morning. It is really difficult for him to wake up after sleeping. During their early debut, his manager tried to wake him up many times and sometimes he even gets angry :D Even now, if you see him appearing in shows at early morning, he looks blank and wanders off-.-"This is because he isn't fully awake yet. So, our Micky is Ms. Nightingale!! who only fully awake during the night.ahhaha

I do realise that most of koreans that are from USA have somehow wounded psychologically. They definitely feel insecure and at times you do notice a certain level of inconfidence by looking at their faces. Probably living at a different country with a different culture and a dominant language-English, has made them suffer a lot. Ki Bum from Suju is also one of those that sleeps with hugging something.

-CHANGMIN
He did not have any sleeping habits. (note: did not) But during their Japan schedules, due to the stress, weird sleeping habits starts to appear. Then, he became the worst sleeping habit person among 5. He talks while sleeping, laughs loudly and hits people-.-" The most melancholy thing is you can chit chat with him too! Anything that you ask, he'll answer.
Person: What do you want to eat tmr?
Changmin: Ramyeon.
After he wakes up, he couldn't remember whatever he said before.

Although he looks cute doing all these things while sleeping, I somehow feel sad for the effects of stress done to him. Poor thing.

ART of SPEAKING

JAEJOONG

____speech character

When jaejoong speaks, he never limits himself. In heroine6,he'd mentioned before that he isn't good in talking. This is the main reason why he didn't beocme the leader in tvxq despite being the oldest member. In private, he's a person who can stop non-stop once started and always use a lot of exaggerated descriptions, therefore, he is definitely a humourous person. However, in formal occasions, his sense of humour is not suitable, because as an artiste, every word is crucial. A word can make an artiste succesful and can also destroy an artiste. That is why we never see him speak a lot when they first debut. This is to maintain his mysterious image and also to secure constant schedules during their early days. It does spark a lot of questions from public as why jaejoong isn't the leader because of his age. Until their 3rd album, jaejoong only reveal his trueself. Then only people understand why he is unsuitable to be the leader of tvxq. He biggest attraction in speech is that he speaks straightforwardly, but it's not a relatively good character in the entertainment field.

____speech style

Jaejoong is from Kyungkido. The distinguish feature of Kyungkido ppl is they speak slowly. This doesn't mean that the speed of speech. It is when he speaks, he loves to use a lot of particles (grammar). Therefore, when he speaks finish, people wouldn't have understand what is the main point he wants to deliver. This may also be one of the reasons he didn't become tvxq leader.

*

YUNHO

____speech character

The way yunho speaks is distinctly different from jaejoong. When he speaks, he is well organized and clearly stated whatever msg tvxq wants to deliver to public. He speaks in short sentence and goes right to the point. Besides, ppl loves the way he talks. This can be proofed during formal occasions where he doesthe speaking. He is able to use official language style which is very different from speaking in private. His art of speaking is the best among 5 of them. Perhaps the reason is he is from a strict family background. Most of the ppl in his family are of lawyers, officers, and political ppl. This explains why he is able to handle speech in formal occasions.

____speech style

Yunho is from Jeonryeodo. People from this place speaks fast, but their pronounciation is not accurate. One distinct pronounciation is "ㄹ". When he speaks really fast, his Jeonryeodo accent will come out occasionally. This is his charisma.

*

YUCHUN

____speech character

Yuchun also speaks really fast, but because he lives in Seoul, his pronounciation is accurate. He belongs to the humourous category and loves to pop out randomly. He also loves to have a dig at junsu. Because junsu has good temper, he'll bully junsu more!!~XD

____speech style

Due to his migration to US when he was 10, he uses a lot of loanwords from english when speaking in korean. He also has a habit of using the American style to express himself. In the Koreans view, when he uses a lot of english words in his speech, they find it ridiculous, however there's a lot of Koreans also admire him because he can pronounce english words accurately.

*

JUNSU

____speech character

Junsu's voice is the feature that gain ppl's attention. The Korean language originally doesn't have phonetics, but junsu speaks richly with tone=.=" When speaking, he loves to drag the words. Tvxq always make fun of him because of that. Because he always drags his words and also loves to add a lot of particles & attributives (grammar terms), we can only get his main point when the sun sets~.~He also loves sharing cold jokes with the members~XD His cold jokes are of professional level. Even tvxq members gave up on his joking ability.(omg.rofl!) He also has a platitude-'jin-jja'(means 'really' in korean). If you pay attention to his sentence, he can use jin-jja more than 3times in a sentence.

____speech style

He is from Kyung___do(can't rmbr), so pronounciation is quite accurate.

CHANGMIN

*

____speech character

Changmin is the youngest in tvxq, but he speaks maturely. He is considered as one of the members who can speak delicately along with yunho. He's the eldest son and also the eldest grandson in his family, as well as a father working as a teacher. Therefore, his parents are really strict with his education. He knows very well that he's the youngest member, therefore he doesn't speak a lot. However, this is different from the reason why jaejoong doesn't speak. He can speak orderly and with suitable manners. Therefore, since debut regardless of activities in japan or korea, every tvxq song is introduced by changmin. Besides, he knows how to add emphasis to certain words in a sentence appropriately, so it makes audiences able to know the important points of what tvxq wants to convey to public. The reason tvxq calls changmin "little adult" is also because of his speech and thoughts. He also loves to nag other members^^He also has a lot of platitudes-'sa-shil..'(means 'actually' in korean), etc. It is not really easy to notice his platitudes as he has a habit of emphasizing the main point of the sentences. However, if the platitude appears at the front of the sentence, it will be pretty obvious. (junsu's platitudes usually appear in the middle of the sentence)

____speech style

He's also from Seoul, so his pronounciation is perfect.

'06~-~>'07

*in news reporter tone* ....The year 2006 has truly been a spectacular year for DBSK, having won many awards at various events (including 4 at MKMF music festival) and staged many awesome performances around Asia.
The amount of effort put into their 3rd album, O Jung Ban Hap, could clearly be seen and fans everywhere are still fiercely supporting them.

*reverts back to fangirl mode* ...As Malaysian fans stuck on the Penisula most of the time, we managed to catch a glimpse of Dong Bang power in early July when DBSK and Super Junior came for a concert.
Oh yeah, I heard that DBSK is coming again! ~* ^o^ *~
For Kuala Lumpur is included in the list of 7 cities in which DBSK will perform for their Asian tour in 2007. We'll see the hugely exciting "molesting chest movements" in O Jung Ban Hap right before our eyes this time! :p

DBSK's performing skills can only get better. Having pulled off a most successful first concert in Seoul on the 10th, 11th and 12th Feb 2006, they went on to continue their Rising Sun Asia Tour in Malaysia and Thailand. Visits to various places in Japan throughout summer for their Heart, Mind and Soul tour also secured their fanbase in Japan -can you believe that 200,000 people turned up just to high-five with the boys?it was called 'SKY touch'- not to mention their fabulous performance at the A-nation stage braving the situation without the leader, Yun Ho.

To be honest 2006 has been a year of turmoil for DBSK's health. They've certainly succeeded in winning our hearts as well as worrying us alot! Yun Ho got hospitalized a fair few times for several things ending in "-itis" and got a problem with his leg even before coming to Malaysia. Then he went and got himself poisoned by a mad girl (now known as "superglue girl" to me coz she put strong glue on the mouth of the bottle), causing the concern of many including even Andy Lau (quote: "If I saw you -the culprit- I'll beat you to death"). The other members were down with flu or throat-related sickness a few times too. Only Chang Min has been noted to have escaped any illness for he likes eating health foods (as revealed in the showcase at Jamsil Stadium) ^^ tsk my boy sure is wise ^^ ... If there are other mishaps I've left out, I've most probably had happily forgotten them.

Well, after winning many awards (I'm too lazy to keep tabs of every single one!) and celebrating Jun Su's and Jae Joong's birthdays with a huge plain cake (I thought it severely lacked decoration), DBSK is now on vacation, lasting 20 days starting from the 1st day of 2007. The latest news I heard, Jae and Chun crashed into a tree after being chased by fans at 4am near a bridge in Korea. The only damage done was to the BMW 2-seater sports car Jae was driving. Both of us immediately wondered where did Jae got the car from!

Anyway let's hope DBSK enjoys another year of good hard work and success and may anti-fans stay far, far away from them! I also hope that I didn't make any grammatical errors in this post! :p
