TOHOSHINKI / TVXQ's 23rd SINGLE's B-SIDE, "BOX IN THE SHIP" MAKING WAVES
SpiderLiliez LiveJournal
By: SpiderLiliez
Media: melinrain @youtube


I was just browsing some news earlier and found out about “Box in the Ship.”

Though only a B-side for TOHOSHINKI’s 23rd single (Doushite Kimi wo Suki Natte Shimattan Darou?), the song “Box in the Ship” has been floating around like a treasure wanting to be found. Thanks to the audio previews that has been popping out recently at music and video sharing sites. We got a chance to hear this happy upbeat song.

The song has a sunny, summer feel to it, it even reminds me a lot of the Caribbean beaches. The genre is a cross between reggae and pop. It’s a very catchy song, and it's just another reason why you should buy the single. I’m quite certain they’d be singing this song in A-Nation which will take place late July until the end of August. The song is just perfect for A-Nation and the summer season.

Below is the preview for “Box in the Ship” thanks to DNBN.

TVXQ / DBSK’s 4TH ALBUM PRE-ORDERS BREAK RECORD

Two years after their “O-Union” album, TVXQ is now finally set to release their 4th Korean album!

Amazingly, on the first day, according to SM Entertainment, the number of people that pre-ordered the album broke records. Reportedly the pre-orders were already a whopping 200,000 just on the first day. When TVXQ released their first album (Tri-Angle), it was only 10,000. During their second album (Rising Sun), they got 130,000 pre-orders. On their 3rd album “O-Union” pre-orders on the first 2 days reached 100,000.

TVXQ has been a very busy group. They have been concentrating in Japan for almost a year or two and their popularity has truly skyrocketed across Asia, making international music audiences curious. Now that their 4th album is set for release, not only their Korean fans, but also International fans, are buying the album.

Fans across Korea have been waiting for TVXQ to make a comeback in their homeland. These Korean fans have been anticipating an album release since last year. That much wait must have been frustrating. But fans still show their support and love despite it all. In fact their support seem to have gotten even bigger.

It is expected that TVXQ will take home some prestigious awards by the end of 2008. According to our source, last year’s Golden Disk Awards top record was 150,000 record sales. But now that TVXQ has already received a big 200,000 pre-orders on the first day, what more when the album is officially released? It is predicted that their record sales might even reach to 500,000 or more!

The 4th album release is set for September 2008. TVXQ is now currently busy recording songs for the new album. Fans have been spotting them in and out of SM Entertainment’s office for the past weeks. Reportedly, TVXQ will be releasing a Korean version of their Japanese song Kiss Shita Mama Sayonara (As We Kissed Goodbye), which was written and composed by TVXQ members, Micky Yoochun and Hero Jaejoong collaborated on this song.

Indeed, TVXQ is becoming better and better as they grow with their music. They have proved that they deserve more than be called “idols” in Korea. And we already know that they have become more than that.

FAN CLUB MEMBERS INCREASE: CASSIOPEIA AND E.L.F.
엠파스
Edits: E L F Philippines


V I P, Cassiopeia, E L F, Wonderful, Jewelry Box. What do these words represent?

Most teenagers would know the answers to this question because either they are or their friends are members of these clubs.

The words written above are all names of celebrity fan clubs. Members of these fan clubs consist mostly of teens. More and more teens are starting to get interested in celebrity fan clubs, especially those for singers.

The number of teenagers joining fan clubs is so great that they are getting attention from around the world. Cassiopeia, the fan club of Korean boy band TVXQ (동방신기), has been recorded in the Guinness World Records book of 2008, for being the biggest fan club for an artist in the whole world. Cassiopeia consisted of over 800,000 official members from China, Japan and South Korea when last counted. This number is excluding the non-official members.

Fan clubs follow their artists wherever they go, whether it is an airport, a TV station, the stars' homes and office. Sometimes they wait not knowing when their stars will appear. But they don't feel tired or fatigued at all because being able to see their idols make them happy.

Having the passion for someone and something is a positive thing. But some of these fans have too much passion that they tend to forget their schoolwork and make their parents worry. Celebrities like to be loved by their fans. But it is apparent that they do not want their fans to quit or drop out of school or have conflict with their family.

AFTER 7 YEARS, TWINS (CHARLENE AND GILLIAN SPLIT)
SINA, MINGPAO
Lena @AsianFanatics


Over the past seven years, TWINS members Charlene Choi (Ah Sa) and Gillian Chung (Ah Gill) have joined hands to get through the most difficult of times together and become a powerful group. However, they have finally decided to formally disband and go their separate ways in the development of their careers.

Established during the new millenium, TWINS brought together Charlene and Gillian, unknown, ordinary girls who gained immense popularity and swept into the music, acting, and advertising industries. This combination of such popular girls won them the prestigious "Asia Pacific's Most Popular Female Singer" award.

In February of this year, however, Ah Gill was involved in a sex scandal that led to harsh criticisms and backlash. During these past months following the scandal, Gill has been seen diligently studying dance and English to pave the way to her comeback. Because Gill was able to hold a number of advertisements during her time away from the spotlight and Ah Sa has been filming and advertising non-stop, EEG has the confidence to allow for their independent development and has chosen to disband TWINS. It has been understood that ever since TWINS' last Mandarin album, no new songs have been recorded and thus, their CD project has been suspended.

When approached about the news of TWINS disbandment, EEG's artist manager Mani only said, "Over the years, TWINS have been creative, capable in their workload and have had their different styles." Asked whether Sa and Gill would work together in the near future? "It's not a matter of within the short term of time because their organization of work is separate."

It appears that their disbandment is imminent.

After completion of her two films "The Butterfly Lovers" and "Storm Warriors II," Charlene will be moving onward with her work in films. As for Gill, it has been said that it has been arranged for her to star in a Hollywood film.

NAMIE AMURO SUES WOMEN'S MAGAZINE OVER PHOTOS
Japan Today

Singer Namie Amuro, 30, this week sued the publisher of women’s magazine Shukan Josei, claiming that the magazine violated her privacy by publishing photos of her and her 10-year-old son. Amuro is seeking 22 million yen in compensation.

According to Amuro’s lawyers, on June 10, the magazine published photos of the two of them walking together and shopping at a convenience store. In a statement released by her agency, Amuro said, “We don’t want our private life to be exposed to the public and we don’t want to live with the fear of always being on display to the public.”

PARK JIN YOUNG: "RAIN HAS NO HITSONG"
EDAILY
By: KRNLoop


Fans of Rain did not like what Park Jin Young (JYP) said in his recent interview with GQ magazine.

Park Jin Young said, “1/3 of Wonder Girls’ albums and digital music income is already half of Rain’s albums and digital music income. Wonder Girls’ has low promotion costs but its album and digital music profits were relatively high. Rain had high promotion costs but he doesn’t have a hit song.”

For Rain’s fans, it was “disappointing” to read such statement from Park Jin Young, who handled Rain’s career while he was still in JYP Entertainment.

Fans also added that for Park Jin Young to say that Rain had “no hit song” was a slap on his face because Park did most of Rain’s songs.

“What a terrible birthday gift,” was also one of the fans’ comments to Park Jin Young’s statement. Rain is celebrating his 27th birthday today, June 25.

TOHOSHINKI / TVXQ's "DOUSHITE KIMI WO SUKI NI NATTE SHIMATTAN DAROU?" DRAMA VER. MV RELEASED

AVEX knows how to keep TOHOSHINKI / TVXQ fans at the edge of their seats. Today an official MV was released, but TOHOSHINKI wasn't in a single frame of the video.

Some fans were a bit disappointed since they've been waiting for the video for weeks. It seems like the drama version was only released to buy TOHOSHINKI and their production team more time to work on their own MV version.

The current MV is only a drama version, the storyline is exactly what the title suggests. It shows a young man attending the wedding of a girl he loves. He never told her his feelings even up to his last chance that he could. He just kept it all to himself, and telling himself why he had to fall in love with her.

Reportedly another version will be out as well, which will feature TOHOSHINKI this time. There's been no definite date on when the said video will be released. But we think anytime soon. And it might catch you by surprise.



And just in case AVEX deletes the link of the embeded video posted above.
Below are some alternatives you can go to.

TVXQ PERFORMS AT AVEX's 20th ANIVERSARRY GENERAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
KBS GLOBAL


TVXQ, one of the top male vocal groups in Asia, was invited to perform at Avex's 20th anniversary general meeting of stockholders at the Saitama Super Arena on June 22.

Some 8,910 stockholders and their families attended the general meeting to congratulate Avex on their 20th founding anniversary. The number of Avex stockholders this year increased by 2,800 compared to last year.

TVXQ, which has established itself as the face of Avex, was among the performers who performed at the event. They included singer and songwriter Noriyuki Makihira, TRF and seven-member dance vocal group Exile.

TVXQ is set to tour Japan as part of the 2008 'A-Nation' concert tour which will be held from July until the end of August. It plans to return to Korea in September with its fourth studio album.

J-POP STARS ROCK AVEX'S SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Mainichi Daily


Top J-pop singers of major record label Avex Group Holdings Inc. wowed the audience Sunday at a Saitama Super Arena concert after the company's shareholder meeting.

Among performing artists at the concert held only for the shareholders and their companions were Namie Amuro, Ai Otsuka and Kumi Koda. Individual shareholders are known for being quiet about the company's management, but the shareholders at the concert cheered loudly for their favorite artists at the concert.

This year's Avex shareholder meeting drew a record 8,910 people, an increase of 2,800 from last year. "Our shareholder meeting has become Japan's largest in history, overtaking Sony's shareholder meeting held on June 20 that had some 7,800 attendants," company officials said.
