[Trans] TV Pia June 16 – Jejung’s Impromptu Korean Spurts!
(t/n: this is a section of Jejung’s interview)
“The filming for the drama has already finished halfway. Now, doctor has perfectly blended into my body. Even if we’re not filming, I still exist as doctor. Like how innocently blank he can be (laugh).
I feel that although doctor has always been using Japanese, he still unintentionally bursts out Korean words when his emotions get the better of his logical thinking. Because of this, whenever I film such scenes, I will spontaneously add in a few Korean lines.
It is really fun when all 5 of us film. Sometimes, even if I like talking a lot, my Japanese isn’t as clear, so it causes everyone to be confused and kind of creates a cold atmosphere. During those times, Tamayama-san will directly say to me, “what did you mean by that?” immediately relieving the situation!
In my opinion, I hope that the 5 of us are be able to achieve happiness by the end. Compared to how doctor will be in the future, I’m more concerned and anticipating how all of us develop.”

[Trans] CD&DL で-た June 2010 Issue – Junsu
This single includes songs from the cool R&B genre to songs which touched people’s hearts, reflecting the great and handsome charm of Xiah Junsu.
The singing becomes the soul in an album.
As a singer, Xiah Junsu has taken an important step from here.
Q: Xiah Junsu finally started as a solo artist. First of all, can you tell us how you’re feeling?
A: I feel very nervous and stressed out, but I’m also very happy. All in all, I’m having mixed feelings about it.
Q: Are you still feeling stressed?
A: Of course! Every time, I always think whether I’m capable of giving a good performance for everyone.
Q: So, what’s the theme of this solo project?
A: This single is entitled “XIAH,” the name which I use in Korea. As a singer, I hope that my music can reflect more of myself. I think “XIAH” can describe the theme for this solo.
Q: “XIAH” also shows a strong demonstration of Junsu’s personality. It’s a really good song.
A: What do you mean?
Q: (laughs) I think all the songs are nice.
A: Ah, that’s great! The CD is already on sale. Have you heard the songs yet?
Q: I heard the songs already so I’m recommending it to people around me.
A: You have to!
Q: I know. (laughs) “Intoxication” is produced by Junsu. In what kind of mood or situation were you in when you composed “Intoxication”?
A: Basically, “Intoxication” was produced while I was singing and dancing. I was thinking of the dance steps of the R&B genre at the same time, so I have to maintain a balance!
Q: So that means Junsu’s center of music is still R&B?
A: Yes. I already loved R&B while I was still staying in Seoul. Now, I’ve already performed many Jpop and intense dances, that’s why I would like to try R&B for my solo activity. Isn’t it great for everyone to see another style of Xiah Junsu’s performances?
Q: Yes, it is. What were your feelings during the recording?
A: Recording the important parts isn’t the same anymore. When recording as a group previously, we need to consider the synchronization. We need to harmonize with the members, not just finding the feel of our own parts.
When recording as a solo artiste, the climax of the song is decided by one person (myself). This is the most important thing. Whatever it is, it’s very difficulty. Music is very difficult.
Q: There are English and Japanese lyrics; are there meanings behind them?
A: I just want to let everyone have a taste of the different aspects of European music. I used English when I sang!
Q: The song totally reflects Junsu’s thinking!
A: Of course! I was given a lot of assistance, but luckily the production went on smoothly. I also learned a lot from it. It’s great.
Q: In “Intoxication,” the words ‘toxic’ and ‘addition’ jump at you. Did you have this kind of experience before?
A: I did not experience poisoning before. (laughs) But I’m into composing lately, which the staff often wants…
Q: Do they say “Please compose a melody” like this?
A: Yes, in a way. Of course, I’m eager to try too!
Q: Do you use a piano when composing songs?
A: A: Yes. But when it comes to composing songs in the dance genre, I use a Mac. I also use ‘Sound Module’ or metronome instruments too. There are times when I can finish composing a melody in five minutes!
Q: What’s that situation about?
A: For example, there’s always a “No matter how hardworking I am today, I still can’t finish it” kind of feeling, but I’ll still put in twelve hours of hard work into it until I feel that it’s time to sleep, or when I feel pain in my back. Even my butt hurts…
Q: Do you have times when you suddenly realize that it’s morning already?
A: A lot. Time flies. It feels like one hour is just one minute; it’s really an addiction. If I look in the mirror, my eyes are bloodshot. (laughs) I also forget to have meals.
Q: That’s really addiction!
A: Yes! (laugh) But I think it’s a positive kind of poison.
Q: “Intoxication” also has this ‘drunk’ feel to it. Junsu, do you drink soju or wine?
A: I don’t know how to drink, and I don’t feel like drinking either. I feel that soju and wine do not taste good, and it’s bad for the health too. I always see the staff and the other members feel very uncomfortable while working the next day after drinking the night before!
Q: Because of a hang-over!
A: I often think to myself, why do we drink in the first place if it’s very uncomfortable? (laughs) But I love the atmosphere when everyone gathers together for a drink! Though I seldom drink in celebration parties, I get drunk in the atmosphere. While drinking, my eyes get smaller. I’m like this.
Q: (laughs) The ballad song “Kanashimi no Yukue” is also included in the CD. It’s a great song. Junsu’s voice really blends well into it.
A: Thank you. There’s always a positive point in a dance song or a ballad song. There are different parts to take note of. We need to pay attention to the rhythm and to the beat when dancing, whereas we need to put in emotion when it comes to a ballad. For R&B, we need these two, so I really like it.
Q: “Kanashimi no Yukue” describes the fragile part of men. Does Junsu have any particular favorite parts in the lyrics?
A:Yes. I like this part: 幸せは 终わるより かわる方が ぼくにはさみしい (End of happiness, in return for my endless grief).
Q: Because of resonance?
A: Yes, but this is only my opinion. Different people have their own different perceptions. Often, there are many reasons that result to an “end.” For example, when someone passes away or someone goes to a far place – aren’t these things which we can’t do anything about?
Q: Yes!
A: But once there is a change of heart, the results will be different. I have to admit, this is rather sad. So ‘ending’ it would be much better.
Q: Ah… The meaning is deep.
A: Yes! The song has a very deep meaning.
Q: It’s very great to interpret the feelings of the song.
A: It’s great. This time around, I exerted a lot of effort for this song – not pretending, just wanting to sing out my true feelings. My voice will tremble in some parts, but this might as well deliver the true feelings to everyone.
Q: Instead of the right tone, you still preferred the strong mood for the song.
A: Yes! I hope to simplify the song as much as possible. That’s why I only used the piano and an orchestra, not putting any rhythm into the song.
Q: This single fully reflects Junsu’s personality as a singer which is very intimate. Is this effect that you want?
A: I’m glad that I’m able to present the results that I want to everyone. It makes me very happy. Of course, I’m also very thankful towards the staff.
Q: You’re very modest.
A: No, no, I’m only telling the truth. I feel very blessed. I hope to deliver Xiah Junsu’s music to everyone.
Q: You’re no longer telling jokes (oyaji gags)?
A: No, but I still make them when requested. (laughs) It’s just that my mindset is on singing onstage. Recently, I don’t have many chances to do that, so I’m looking forward to it. I wish to meet the fans too.
Q: We shall wait and see! Lastly, as a soloist, can you tell us your vision for the future?
A: I’ve already mentioned it. It does not relate to me personally or to the group. I just want to sing, sing a song that transcends the sands of time. I wish to be thought of as a singer who “seriously likes music.”

[Trans] The World That Xiah Junsu Made- WHAT’s IN? June Edition Interview Extension of Junsu Speaks English!
From the revealed solo performance, we can already expect a finished project of high quality. Meticulous to even the tiniest details of the song editing, this solo single fully expresses his outlook of the world.In addition, it grasps and honestly expresses the excellency of his individuality on the whole.
“This time, through many different parts, I think it really benefited me too”
Interview:
—— You’re soon going to be running your solo activities, how do you feel now?
I’m nervous but expectant at the same time. I’m very anxious to see exactly what type of solo did I create.
—— Do you think the things that you wanted to do appeared in this solo?
Yes. I’ve been thinking about it all the time. Everything I wanted to try out will be fully included in this single.
—— This solo has been produced and edited by your ways, so what is it that you wanted to do the most?
Things that Tohoshinki hasn’t tried before. For me personally, I’ve always wanted to try out R&B and rock genres. With this in mind, I’ve been working hard in trying to make music.
—— The first song “Intoxication” is one that carries the R&B flavor. How was this song created?
This song was created during the musical Mozart in Korea. In terms of time, it took about 1-2 hours a day, taking about a week to complete. It was then revised and fixed when we took it to the recording studio.
—— It must have been hard to handle both the musical and composing right?
It was alright. The world of the musical and my own composing world are completely different. You can actually say that I found it to be more relaxing.
—— What do you want to express from this song?
I want to create the feeling of a sexy, more mature adult. Although it is rather different compared to my image from before, I want everyone to experience a song that corresponds more to the stage.
—— Speaking of sexy, it can totally be seen. It actually might even be close to a feeling of sultriness.
Speaking of rock music, there are quite a lot of music that are one looped, which can make many different melodies. But it has to suit me though because one loop has a very wide range to experiment with.
—— The use of strings gives the song a great feeling, it’s a song that people can sing along to easily.
The chorus has such a feeling. In this case, both the strings and the guitar were used in the recording. Electronic sounds were also added. I just went along with what I felt like using, and the result turned out well. Also, there is a bit of a sexy feeling, with a bit of sadness. Using this song, I wanted to express the emotions of a heart-broken man, and I feel that it is worth listening to.
—— Also, were you involved in the arrangement of the strings, guitars etc?
I was in Korea during that time, so I could not be personally involved. However, I did ask the producer to send me the recordings so that we could discuss and confirm it.
—— So this means that your personal thoughts were also included in the production process?
The verse with “Tell me what you want” has electronic sounds, and initially it was very soft (in volume). As the dance for this part is very intense, and I wanted to express the change in mood, so we increased the volume of the music. It was also my suggestion to add the “Hey hey” part.
—— I see. So your efforts are really injected into the arrangement this time.
Yes, I feel like I have learnt a lot from this process, so I was really happy when it was finally released.
—— H.U.B.’s lyrics were also very sexy and used a lot of passionate words.
I feel that, to suit the rock environment, these lyrics are more suitable. When the tune first came out, I tried humming it, and the lyrics “Touch me baby” just came out naturally. I think that such lyrics just suit the whole atmosphere of the song. So, I suggested to the lyricist to use such words creatively in the song. There is a lot of English words in the song as well, as it seems to have a more “Western Music” feel.
—— Which part of the lyrics do you especially like?
“Yuubi kara karamete karada jyuu made”(Trans: Starting from the fingers and entwining through the body). Also, the line “Himitsu no mitsu wo mitsuketeku” (Trans: Looking for the secret honey) was also made to rhyme due to my suggestion.
—— The “Mitsu” part rhymes well
Yes. “hi MITSU no MITSU wo MITSU keteku” Even though the meanings are different, but the pronunciation is the same. H.U.B san totally understood my suggestion, so I’m happy.
—— The last part of this verse “Yureru koe ni iki so Beautiful” (Trans: The sound of your shaking breath, so beautiful) is great, but it sounds a bit pornographic. (Laughs)
Yes, it really is a bit pornographic.(Laughs) Please listen to it well. (Laughs)
—— Let’s continue talking about the song. The completion of this song will have a big impact right? Maybe it helps to draw a clearer picture of the world, and it is a very sexy sound.
Because it is an R&B song, if it cannot use the tune creatively, then you will not be able to sing the song well. This is why I placed a lot of emphasis on this to complete the song. To me, there are many other challenges faced, recording the song in a changing atmosphere.
—— Were there difficulties?
It is not an easy song to sing. But due to the fact that it was my own tune, so it was smoother for me to sing it. Just that, it is important to put a lot of feelings into such a song, and I also focused on those parts where I needed to put more emotions into.
—— The song’s dance is also more exquisite, you can imagine the dance once you listen to the song.
When I was writing the song, parts of the choreography already appeared in my mind. So, I was thinking about it while arranging the song. Truthfully, those sections were also done according to my initial idea. Those parts that fit the strings atmosphere, felt a little greasy (Laughs). On a whole, it is not a very intense dance, and it has a bit of a controlled feeling. This gives it a more modern feel, and I want to show it to everyone quickly. I hope that everyone can see my dancing side.
—— Then, the song that shows off your vocals best, “Kanashimi no Yukue” is a very sad song, right?
This time, we are combining R&B which is a style I like, together with another style I enjoy but is extremely different, and that is the ballad. Put together in the same single are songs that give people a totally different feeling. But both song’s shows a man’s feelings. “Intoxication” was written to incorporate part of what a man sees, while “Kanashimi No Yukue” is a man’s softer side, or it can be said that it is a song that expresses his inner feelings.
—— So you’re saying that both song’s have a different feel, but have similarities.
That’s correct. Even though the song wasn’t written by me, I personally picked it from about 20 – 30 different songs. If you listen to it, you will notice that there is no harmonizing, or mixing of sounds. It is only one sound from start to end.
—— Ah, I see.
And there isn’t much rhythm, only piano and strings. I feel that in this kind of music, I can just immerse myself in the feeling and sing. Although I used the 2nd and 3rd verse was done in falsetto, I felt that if the 2nd verse was done in my true voice, it would be better, so I tried changing it, and the result was good.
—— Because the arrangement is so simple, it is a song that cannot be sung well without your own determination. From this angle, we feel that it was completed very well.
I tried my best. (Laughs) But I feel that if the arrangement is simple, the feelings are more obvious so it’s easier to sing. I feel very happy when I sing songs accompanied by only the piano or guitar.
—— The “breathing sounds” seem to add to the feeling of the song.
Ah, before the mixing, I already asked them. To leave the breathing sounds and slightly wavering voice in.
—— Which part of the lyrics leave an impression on you?
“Shiawase wa Owaru yori Kawaru houga Bokuni wa samishii.”(Trans: Happiness to me, compared to ending, change is even lonelier.) I felt for this line from the start. I feel like, ah, so it’s like that. Everyone will think about their own romance when listening to this line.
—— This song is about an ended relationship, right?
Yes, it shows the fragile side of a man who slightly regrets it. Men tend to have this kind of side. Although they look strong and hide their sadness, sometimes they want to show their soft side as well.
—— Are you like that too?
Yes. Because men and women are the same (laughs). Therefore, I want to express this feeling in the song.
—— Your works this time show a good range, do you feel that shows of your unique points?
I feel that it doesn’t lose out to previous works. It’s been a while since releasing a single in Japan, and I hope that everyone can hear music that belongs solely to XIAH Junsu.
—— So will you be continuing to write more songs in the future?
I will, I’m really addicted to writing songs now. To be able to sing my own songs makes me very happy, and it is also very meaningful. If there is a chance, I hope everyone can hear it.
—— So, how did you feel about appearing in your first musical?
Extremely happy. It is very challenging compared to other genres, and it was a good challenge. And I got to meet many people and learn a lot of things. I feel blessed.
—— Do you also want to try acting?
Because this is a musical, I feel like I can still do it. If it’s just acting…I still don’t know for now. But what I am really interested in is still music.
—— But in terms of expression, what you learn in acting can still be applied in music.
Ah, that’s true. An artist should be good at both singing and acting. For faster songs, you need to look happy while dancing, and for ballads, you need to show feelings to improve the performance. For this, (acting) will be a good experience. Actually, when I was doing the musical, I did a lot of different vocal exercises as well.
—— Lastly, please say something to our readers.
For the fans who have been waiting for me, I give you music and a stage that belongs to XIAH. Please look forward to it.
A Pure Artist with the Ability to Produce his own Music.
XIAH Junsu is a singer with a unique voice, and a pure artist the ability to produce his own music. This much anticipated solo “XIAH” proves this well. To showcase the attraction of his dance, he challenges something that even some western artists will fail at, and the R&B influenced “Intoxication” was completed. Also, a song that suits the Japanese audiences, a ballad “Kanashimi no Yukue.” These two songs are totally different, and was done this way to showcase his charm. This talented piece, is for everyone who is waiting anxiously for it.
Profile
XIAH Junsu, Born 1st January, 1987 . One of the members of Tohoshinki, a vocal group who uses Korea and Japan as their main platforms to reach out to the whole of Asia. Aside from his Solo Activities, he is also working with Jejung and Yuchun as part of a 3 member team. This unit will be performing in Osaka’s Kyocera Dome as well as Tokyo Dome.
Favorite Music
“What have you been listening to recently?” We asked. He enthusiastically replied that he’s been listening to Korean musical songs and such.
I have also been listening to various CDs. Because of my participation in musicals. I have also been listening to such music. Like the “Phantom of the Opera” etc. They are all very good, so I cannot pick a favorite. Classical music and R&B has a very different kind of appeal to me. Because there is a lot to learn from it, so I try listening to it. Aside from that, I have also been listening to Boyz II Men. Even though I have heard their songs previously, but I recently started to listen to them again. The harmonization between each member is very good. There is also Brian McKnight, JOE, Ne Yo and many others. I rarely listen to female singers, but I really like Beyonce and Whitney Houston. To learn more about my music arrangement, I listen to Timbaland, and I learnt a lot from him.

[Trans] TV Japan Magazine June Issue
First Drama DVD Release celebration interview
YUNHO
As an actor he took a new step, we asked him about the drama and his decision for the future-
The drama Yunho was the main character of and his real actor debut drama is going to be on DVD!
“In the beginning there was pressure but I thought if I work hard the viewers will understand so I was able to enjoy it. The character I played, Cha Bong-gun has a pure heart in the beginning. But as he meets many people he matures. At the same time I think I was able to mature with him.”
He talked how it is different from an artist who has to act/express in 3 minutes during a song.
“I want to challenge a character that’s different from Bong-gun. Like a bad guy, or a sad character. The actor I look up to is Johnny Depp. I envy how he is attractive even if a kid sees him or even if an adult sees him.”
And what we want to know is as Yunho what he wants to challenge in the future.
“Even if I get a chance, if I think I shouldn’t do it yet I won’t do it. If I had a chance and when I have confidence then I want to challenge. Then I want to show everyone how I am challenging passionately. My motto is ‘a genius can’t win a hard working person’. I think im proud that everytime I do something I work hard. So that’s why I want to be more hard working. And for singing and acting I want to become Yunho who levels up so please watch over me.”
2010 world cup support message:
Korea and Japan is getting better so I’m looking forward to it. I will be supporting with passion!
Korea and Japan good luck!
