Songs Magazine Interview !!!

--♥ "Songs" JaeChun Interview ♥--

Part 1

Achieving huge success during their

Tokyo Dome Concert, Tohoshinki

was also very energetic during A-nation.

Amongst the 5 of them appeared

the Special Project Unit,

Jejung and Yuchun!

Their natural message song,

"Colors~Melody and Harmony~",

and "Shelter", a song that is able to

be at the top of the music industry,

are the best songs that 2 have composed together.

This single is not filled with

just the unlimited charm of a singer, but as a composer!!
- "Colors~Melody And Harmony~" is a song

that was performed during the

Tokyo Dome Live Concert in July right?

YC: The person who first starting

composing was Jejung.

Then, because we realized that the

song was suitable and followed the style of the both of us,

we decided to use this as the song for our

Tokyo Dome Concert solo.

Also, the melody was composed by the both of us.

The music of this song is something

that we have not tried before and is a

song that could only be completed when we are together.

JJ: As TVXQ performs a lot of songs

that have the style of a minor department of black

(T/N: Didn't quite get that, but I'm guessing it's R&B)

so I wanted to compose a song,

together with Yuchun, that everyone could

enjoy together and a song that we could sing with everybody.

As this song that

I have previously wrote fits the image

this time, we performed it at the

Tokyo Dome as Jejung and Yuchun.

- Since the song was written by the both of you,

how did you go about composing it?

JJ: Because no matter

how busy work was, we had to

cough out time to compose so

I would first enter the tune into the

computer and bring it to the hotel room and continue working on it.

YC: But "Colors~Melody And Harmony~"

was a song that was quickly

written finished with no stress at all.

JJ: If the person who wrote the song

had very complicated thoughts,

won't the listener feel the same way as well?

However, if the composer

has very simple and natural thoughts, then the content that is being shown to the listener is also very simple.

Therefore, when we were composing,

we were not thinking of very complicating thoughts.

- The both of you have been working

together to compose and so far,

what do you think of each other?

JJ: I have been criticized very strictly before.

After going through a check,

I also felt like I have grown a lot at the same time.

- What kind of strict criticism was it?

JJ: For example, "Why is still a

song with this kind of feelings?

It was like that previously too!"

YC: I was just saying that jokingly. (laughs)

JJ: Even if it was a joke, it was still quite strict.

(Laughs) Yuchun is also very straight forward.

If it's really good, he'll say "Very Good!"

But if he's not happy with it, he would

say what I said earlier. (Laughs)

- Then, regarding Yuchun's song,

what are your thoughts?

JJ: Didn't he write a song called

"Kiss The Baby Sky"?

When I first heard that song, I suddenly thought,

"Isn't he a genius?" He was able to merge

loneliness as well as happiness intro a song, really surprising.

YC: Although the both of us use the

same instruments but we come out

with different products.

Therefore, if I'm lacking something,

Jejung would have it and if Jejung is

lacking something, I will have it.

JJ: Mm. Yuchun is really good with

instruments but in terms of his method

of composing songs, it's slightly...

YC: (Laughs aloud)

Compared to Jejung, my composing

skills are quite lousy. Because I personally like music

that is being played from a live band,

so we like different styles.

- Then, because it's a rare chance to

be interviewing you, can you tell us

where does the charisma of each other lie as a singer?

YC: The moment you hear Jejung's sweet voice

that you want to melt into, girls will be

charmed immediately.

JJ: Thank you. (Laugh) For Yuchun,

he has a very cool and handsome voice.

It doesn't matter if it's a happy or sad song,

he can portray it very well.

Part 2

- Then, for the song "Colors~Melody And harmony~",

what emotions did you had when you performed it?

JJ: The only way to sing it well is when

we have no troubles. Similarly,

the expression and emotions we

felt at that time is the most important.

When you look at the face of a person

you like, you'd naturally show a smile.

I performed with that that kind of feeling.

YC: I, too, was very natural and

performed without any stress.

Just like that, it felt like

I was showing the original me.

Therefore, when we were performing

on stage, we didn't even put on any

makeup and went on stage after

changing our clothes. (Laugh)

JJ: Saving money, saving money. (Laugh)

- Then, what message are you trying

to give out through the lyrics?

YC: Recently, most of the songs have

love as their main content and this

song's contents is to pass on thanks.

JJ: I especially like this sentence,

"Even if it's only for a second,

I could make all the tears stop worldwide

and change them into smiles."

- Did the both of you harbor this

kind of feelings throughout?

JJ: Although I'm not too sure if humans

can gain happiness just through

a song but I think that those who hear this song will have happy emotions. Especially because this

song is a relaxing tune that you

can hear anytime and that is why

when everyone wake up in the morning,

please listen to this song while you are

in the tram or bus. If it's like that,

the streets might appear differently.

YC: I, too,

in the morning would sit at the

coffee shop and listen to music

while I eat bread.

If I happen to have eye contact with

anyone, even if it's a stranger,

I would still greet them.

I would feel better afterwards.

JJ: There was this day, while

I was listening to music at night,

a mosquito landed on my wrist.

I was thinking, "Ah, this mosquito

can only live for a short period of time.

Then, it's okay if I let it suck some of my blood."

- (Laughs) Even incidents like

this are being treated with a caring attitude?

JJ: Right. It's all thanks to the song that me,

myself even turned caring. (Laughs)

Part 3

- Next, you used the phrase "Colors"

in your title...

JJ: Are you asking us what color we like?

Okay, let's say it together. 1, 2, Black!

YC: White!
- If that's the case, it seems like you

have been asked this a lot of times in interviews.

Then, let me ask something else that is related to colors.

Are the colors for the both of your rooms the same?

JJ: Ah~ This question has a lot of meaning.

If you keep asking the same thing,

the readers will find it annoying.

By changing the thinking methods of

the question, it seems more interesting.
- Thank you (Laughs).

Then, please answer the question.

YC: For me, I have a lot of black shelves

that contain red wine. All of them are

designed by me but the cleaning up

part might be slightly difficult. (Laugh)

JJ: For my room, the colors are in a mess. (Laugh)

YC: Not just the colors, the interior

is also in a mess. (Laugh)

This morning,

when I went to Jejung's room after

I woke up, I had helped to clean his room

a little but his clothes are all one the bed,

like a small mountain. (=_=)

JJ: If you want to clean it up, then you

have to tidy the bed first. But, after

cleaning for a little white, you won't

want to do it anymore.

That is why, I would run to Yuchun's room

to sleep with him at night.

- (Laugh) Then, let me just ask,

which room are the instruments and

other things that you use to compose songs situated in?

YC: It would be goof is we had some

but we don't have any in the Japan dormitory.

But, I really want to build a recording

schedule in Japan for us only.

JJ: When will it come true?

- Look forward to it then.

Next, can you please introduce

the next song "Shelter"?

YC: This song, is a song that I want to

challenge the most amongst all

the songs that Jejung has composed.

JJ: From the starting until the A, B,

different melodies,

it has a sort of dark and heavy feelings

but after that, the rhythm speeds up and it feels happier.

I hope everyone will look forward to this magical change.

- What message is incorporated in the lyrics?

JJ: My world can't do without you.

You might not know me,

but I will always pay attention to your happenings.

It's a song that sounds like a stalker. (Laughs)

For example, the other person

might not know who you are but

so long as that person is alive,

you will gain a lot of strength and courage.

Isn't there such incidents?

We live for this and this song is sung with thankful feelings.

YC: The supposed thankful feelings

are actually quite similar to

"Colors~Melody And Harmony~".

However, "Colors" is very innocent and sweet where

"Shelter" is a song full of

musical characteristics.

- It is indeed a single that sends the deep

meaning of music that the both of you have.

Then, the two songs are very perfect

and soothing, could you please tell us the

secret that the both of you have in order to sing so well?

JJ: Because I feel that so long as you like it,

no matter what, you can do it and

keep on working hard. But,

I think, even if you don't have

the right techniques, it doesn't matter.

Because you like it, you will continue

working hard and there would

definitely produce good results.

Because I was tone-deaf when

I was in Secondary school, my

singing was very lousy at that time

but I didn't care and continued practicing.

YC: Coming from our message,

harboring imagination, use your

own true feelings to portray the contents of the song.

Everyone can try it!

VOCAL ADVICE

JJ: Everyone, please, as sweetly, as detailedly,

as quickly, perform the song

"Colors~Melody And Harmony~".

Even if there are no lyrics, it's also

fine to just sing "Lalala".

So I hope that everyone can sing this

song with a relaxed and natural feeling.

YC: You have to sing it with the

feeling of cleaning up your room! (Laugh)

JJ: Right. (Laugh) "Now, somewhere,

there is someone cleaning up~"

YC: (Laughs aloud) I think that as

compared to singing it awesomely, it is more

important to sing it while you're relaxed and sitting.

Please whistle, and use a happy feeling to sing this.
