Video of the Week | Week #4

This is one of my favorite videos.. Please Enjoy. ^__^

Another SHINee interview!

Please tell us what you would want to be told by fans.

When they write “Himune” in fanletters to show their support.

In Japanese, it means “Ganbatte”

What do you do on a day off?

A trip! I love the beach so I want to go somewhere I can see the pretty sea.

Just relaxing is the best.

What’s your strong point?

 (To be able to) concentrate and strive with all my energy towards one (goal).

What Japanese have you recently learned?

 Reading (dokusho). I bought a book to study Japanese and it’s the first word that caught my eye (laugh).

Recommend a place (to see) in Seoul

 I would recommend the pretty streets of Samcheong-dong.

The cobblestone side streets have such a nice atmosphere. Please go and see it!

Please tell us what you would want to be told by fans.

I’d like to be (asked) “kibuni choa” by Japanese fans, this means “How (are you?) Are you ok?”, but when I hear it in Korea, I feel completely refreshed.

 What do you do on a day off?

 I go training at the gym or shopping. (Right now), I want to go shopping for fall clothes.

I want a monotone style leather jacket that’s suited to an adult.

 What’s your strong point?

 A honest / frank character. On stage, even when I’m nervous, I will still openly say what I’m thinking.

What Japanese have you recently learned?

 Nigecha dame! (I will not run away!) It’s the line of the main character Shinji-kun from my favorite anime, New Genesis Evangelion. (laugh)

Recommend a place (to see) in Seoul

There’s a lot of people and many attractions at Dondaemun, with lots of carts lined up on the sides of the streets selling delicious food like Ddeokbokki, that’s my recommendation.

Please tell us what you would want to be told by fans.

Moshitta means the same as “kakkoi”  (cool / handsome”) in Japanese. When we’re standing on stage, I’m happy if I hear this being yelled out.

What do you do on a day off?

Exercise. On days off, I play soccer and futsal with friends.

I like physical activity. [1]

Your strong point(s)?

I think positive thinking and no matter (what my goal is) I will strive until exhaustion.

What Japanese have you recently learned?

Sakura Flower arrangement (sakura no kadou).  I only learned this from Slam Dunk, the main character’s name is Sakuragi Hanamichi and I misread it as Sakura flower arrangement (laugh).

Recommend a place (to see) in Seoul

Garosu-gil. It’s a fashionable shopping area like Omotesando and Aoyama, it’s my favorite.

Please tell us what you would want to be told by fans.

Tanoshikatta (I had fun) is 재미 있었어 (jaemi iss-eoss-eo) in Korean. If I was told that after a concert, it would make me happy.

What do you do on a day off?

Stuff like shopping, going for coffee, after 2- 3 hours, I’d take it easy at home.

What’s your strong point?

I’m bright (cheerful) no matter what.

If someone is down and thinking “that’s enough”, I like I can cheer them up. (laugh)

What Japanese have you recently learned?

“Arisou na” (“That’s likely” or “Probably”). If I’m thinking “that’s true” in Korean, in Japanese, I’ll end up saying “Arisou”.

  

Recommend a spot (to see) in Seoul

My recommendation is (a) Hanok Village. The old buildings and the food are fascinating.

Please tell us what you would want to be told by fans.

 It doesn’t matter when I hear it, I feel happy when I’m told “Sayounara” and “Ai shiteru”

What would you do on a day off?

 Dance Lessons! I practice my singing as well, but recently I’m being taught lessons by a dancer.

What’s your strong point?

 When I decide on a target or a dream, I stoically accomplish it. I hate to lose, it’s being greedy in a good way.

What Japanese have you recently learned?

 “Arienai yo~!” (laugh)

When I hear something that sounds like a lie I use it.

What spot would you recommend in Korea?

Busan’s Haeundae where the sea breeze is refreshing, you can sit on the docks, play with seagulls, and the scenery is pretty.

Tohoshinki’s / DBSK’s younger brother, rumored newborn star came to Japan! After debuting last year they swept the rookie awards in Korea and topped the hit charts.
Korea’s Super Idol finally comes to Japan! Can’t help but support this five cute and fresh people. A Press conference was held in Tokyo the day after the fan meeting on August 10. It was big, and there were a lot of reporters (mostly female journalists) crowded in for their long-awaited visit to Japan.

ALL: Kagayaku SHINee desu! Yoroshiku Onegai shimasu (In Japanese) Hello, we are shining SHINee.

> Please let me hear the story before SHINee was formed.
Taemin: I was done the casting in the town, auditioned while practicing, and passed.
Onew: At that time, the debut has not been decided yet though we practiced together for 1 or 2 years.
Jonghyun: I think it was 2 years before that 5 of us, SHINee debuted.

> What is the meaning of SHINee?
Key: SHINee has the word significance of “shine”, right. We combine “shine” and suffix “-ee”, the group’s name carries the meaning of “one who receives light” or “one under the spotlight”.

> At last, your album “ROMEO” was released in Japan recently.
Onew: It’s wonderful that everyone is expecting. I’m so thankful.
Key: If there’s a chance, I would like to ask to all of the fans what their impressions to our music are.
Jonghyun: Even in the fan meeting, our fans were lively and I felt their passion.
Onew: The first song was “Noona, You’re so pretty” was only released in Korean but all of the fans stood up, hold their pen light, waved and supported us.
Minho: Not only in Korea and our album was also published here in Japan. On top of that, we received ardent support from fans. I thought that I will do my best from now on.

> In the album “ROMEO” the second track recorded song “Juliette” has a DVD, right?
Onew: Because it’s the music that Jonghyun challenged writing songs for the first time, all members expressed inner feelings.
Jonghyun: I have interest in writing lyrics for a long time so I practiced all the time. This time, I was able to write songs and it was good.

> Someday, do you want to write your lyrics in Japanese?
Jonghyun: I would like to challenge someday. But, first of all I should practice Japanese. (Laughs)
Onew: Yeah. I want to learn and be good at Japanese quickly.

> I catch what you said well!
Onew: Just a little (self-conscious laugh)

> Please explain the other recorded tracks from the album.
*TALK TO YOU
Taemin: In the album, there’s a story and this song starts to decorate the album.
*HIT ME
Onew: A lover plainly depicted a man feeling anxious for not being able to communicate his feelings well. The more you listen to the song, the more you will like the song.
* SENORITA
Key: This song has an exotic feeling and unique melody. The intro’s rap was Spanish. I studied and did my best. (Laughs)
*PLEASE, DON’T GO
Jonghyun: An orthodox group ballad which until now is not been heard. Onew and I sing a duet together. It’s good to listen before you go to sleep.
*ROMEO + JULIETTE
Minho: Tune that finishes off the end of the story. I think each member’s voice respectively showed their personality.
“Very touched by their noona’s support”

> What is your impression about Japan.
Taemin: I was deeply touched when many fans came to the airport although it was my first time to come to Japan. From now on, I think we should show more SHINee’s image to the Japanese fans in the future.
Onew: Also in the event, Our Noona fans were like a young girl with pure feelings passionately supported us and I was really touched.
Minho: This time, our stage was only one time but I would like to do again..

> What places where would you like to go and eat around Japan?
Jonghyun: I would like to go to Tokyo Disneyland so much. I like noodles so I like to eat udon (thick white noodles) and ramen etc.
Key: I would like to go to Odaiba, Tokyo Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan. I like to eat okonomiyaki (meat seafood and vegetable pancake)
Minho: I would like to challenge Japan’s simple meal served before a ceremonial tea. I also like to go to Tokyo Dome.

> It’s good if someday you’ll have a live in Tokyo Dome!
All: OH! (Claps)
Onew: If were able to do live surrounding with such amazing staff members, I would like to challenge everywhere in Japan.

> What are your targets in the future?
Onew: I want to become an existence that everyone will imagine SHINee to be contemporary. We will do our best so please support us!

So Amazing! The SHINee legend: 1. They swept the rookie award immediately after debut.
May last year, In South Korea, they debuted at their first mini album “Noona, You’re so pretty”. After 1 month they won the rookie award. Thereafter, for only one year, they won 7 rookie awards! Not just music, they also appear in commercial and modeling and are now active. Suddenly they are included as one of the top stars. They are one of the hot stars now. Regardless in South Korea-Japan, they are not popular to the teens but also to the elder women.

2. The tickets to their first fan meeting were immediately sold out.
They are still newcomers here in Japan, rumors and music were passed the border and reached to Japan! The tickets to their first fan meeting and mini concert on August 10, in Nakano Sun Plaza were sold out. On the day of the event, about 2,200 fans got the premiere tickets and went widely exited. An additional decision was made and they will have their 2nd fan meeting in Japan on September 14 at Osaka Kousei Nenkin Kaikan Hall.
