[TRANS] BARKS EVENT REPORT Changmin’s comment on the miso soup-looking thingy that YUNHO CHEF of TOHOSHINKI made,”The taste of this miso soup goes far beyond what you expect for miso soup”

< TVXQ FANCLUB EVENT 2014 ” THE MISSION III ~ get back the lost coins~ ” > The fan event was held in three consecutive years and gathered ​​in total of 100,000 people. The last day of the event (Nov 6) was at Yokohama Arena.

It was a event for their fans, they played games together with fans and they also did cooking. Of course, at their live performance session, they performed their new song (just released on Nov 5th) ” Time Works Wonders” (The title is taken from a proverb/idiom, The passing of time can resolve many problems, make miracles) and “White”, a coupling song of the single “Very Merry X’mas”, that has never been performed in live before, and the performance was their Xmas gift to their fans. Nonetheless, the 14,000 fans who filled the Yokohama Arena gave them loud cheering by watching them in a different environment/style from their usual live performances.

When TOHOSHINKI appeared on a trolley from the back of the venue while the opening video was projected, a loud cheers filled in the Yokohama Arena. The trolley moved slowly towards the main stage. Minshiru-san (the moderator) introduced them once again to the audience. The two of them waved at fans and were smiling.
YH: Everyone, long time no see. This is Yunho. Although it is a limited time, I hope to clear all missions in today’s fan club event, together with you all.. Are you ready? Today’s event will be filmed. Lets have fun together!
CM: This will be the last day of our fan club event, but I want to do my best to have fun with you all..I do not want to have any regret.

Prior to the MISSION/GAME, they had a talk session.
The first topic was about the TOHOSHINKI’s second five dome tour kicks off at Fukuoka Yahoo dome in February next year (in total of 14 performances. They will be the first foreign artists who performs at Tokyo dome for four consecutive year.)
YH: Truly, the last year’s tour was amazing.. but I really want to give meaningful live performances to you.. I want to make you feel happy and give you excitement/make you feel touched.
CM: This is the second time that we will have dome live tour.. in the beginning I was nervous. but a year before the last year… the last year….? I think its the last year.. I do not want to be too nervous/tense like that I was in the last year.. but I hope to show you how cool we are.. I do not think any more explanations. I will show it off to you.
The audiences gave them loud cheers (as if it would crack the ceiling)
YH: Wow, you are cool, Changmin. Yes, we do not need any explanations. Let us… (smiled).. Let us show you! (to the camera)
YH copied CM while trying to hide his shyness under his smile.

With regard to the new single that has been just released “Time Works Wonders”,
CM: This is the perfect R&B song suited very well for this season that is getting cold.
Your memories… what?? i forgot.. oh, your “experience”.. please imagine that..
YH: Oh, you are almost perfect. sorry that you forgot about the Japanese word “experience”
It seems to us that YH was aware that there were cameras filming the event, therefore he was more acting together/alert/steady than usual.

And finally the MISSIONS/games started. Minshiru-san showed coins through a screen that would be given to them after they clear each mission.
YH: Wow, Dazzling! YH was forced to give overreaction to that (because they were filming the event)
CM watched YH from a bit distance with his arms folded.
In ‘Treasure Hunt in Red Ocean’ TOHOSHINKI, the two of them hunt for treasures (something that fans have) is like a scavenger hunt. In ‘Atema-Show! (Sketch-a-Guess)’ the talent of YH as an artist was fully demonstrated. They worked on these missions in collaboration with Bigeasts.

The third mission, “Bigeasts, Jump a long rope” Some of Bigeasts were brought to the stage. However, the fact that none of them have done jump rope recently was revealed.
YH: Oh, its worrisome.. but everything should be okay. We TOHOSHINKI are with you. Changmin will help you!
YH left everything to CM but once the practice run started,
YH: Don’t you know how to do jump rope? You guys needs to line up!”
He showed the strict/hard coach side of him.

For the actual jump, unexpectedly the team Bigeasts jumped 25 times and there were only 5 jumps left to clear the mission of 30 jumps.
YH, the hard coach, was satisfied by the results
YH: You may be better than TOHOSHINKI
The next was the team TOHOSHINKI (TOHOSHINKI+ TOHO dancers).
Thanks to the team Bigeasts, the team TOHOSHINKI jumped 9 times. CM was the one who got caught in the rope.
CM: My legs were heavy~ he had buffer smiles.
They were able to clear the mission. However, the rest of the Bigeasts who filled the venue shouted, “One more time!”
CM: Although I did not tell you about this.. but this mission is the hardest in this mission. I need to prepare for singing after this!”
CM did his best to appeal to Bigeasts ..
Then YH said
YH: Oh I have an idea. …. What about only Changmin… Changmin you should do jump rope for 40 times by yourself!
No one was expected this. At the end, YH turned the skipping rope around and CM challenged to jump a rope by himself. No one in the venue thought that CM would make it.. but he cleared the 40 times goal.
YH: It was only a joke..
Minshiru-san: Did you drink water?
CM: Leave me alone!
CM was totally exhausted and threw his body to the stage.

The next Mission is, “You Teacher! Please!! (COOKING)”. There was used to be a mission called, “Yunho’s kitchen.” and this mission took over the concept from that. CM also participated in cooking.
On this day, the two of them needed to prepare for “miso soup”. Yunho picked a lottery for Sensei (teacher).
YH: I will make a dish that you have never seen before! (Everyone thought.. what the heck is he talking.. no one ever seen dish before???)

CM was too exhausted from his 40 times jump rope and he continued to be absent minded.
YH put apron over CM and said,
YH: Changmin, you will be fine. You have Yunho-chef right next to you.
YH encouraged CM.

Their cooking show started. First, YH had a bite of marshmallow and while chewing it, he explained about ingredients one by one to the audience. In response to the cheer from CM, the assistant, YH cut the long green onion (similar to leek but more tender) and throw it into the pot. Bigeasts made some noise (because they were worried)
YH: Please believe in me!
Then YH cut a daikon radish.. in a wild fashion, and put it in the pot.
YH threw a whole tofu (without cutting) into the pot (tofu dived into the pot)
YH added miso paste, soy sauce and a tons of bonito frames in to the pot.
The pot was boiling madly.. and YH tasted..
YH: Ohh.. (YH seemed to be satisfied.)

CM: Really?
CM then tasted it.. said, “This is far beyond what you expect for miso soup.”

The time limit was approaching.. YH chef strained (!!!) his soup through a strainer (leaving all the ingredients in the strainer!) and pour it in a bowl.
CM said nothing but shook his head. Bigeasts were screaming (not cheering but pure fear)
Yunho chef’s miso soup was ready to eat.
The person who needed to taste Yunho Chef’s miso soup was one of the TOHO dancers. But unexpectedly, the dancer said, “맛있어요 (delicious, yummy in KOR)”
CM tasted the soup again,
CM: Well, actually it does taste good.. but it tastes beyond what you expect for miso soup.
YH: This is the miso soup that you have never seen before.
YH looked really confident and happy.

A few Bigeasts tried the YH’s miso soup. It was the final judgement time.
Bigeasts jury selected from the audience gave in total of 22 points.
YH looked a bit disappointed.
And the points he got for the taste of miso soup was 4.6.
So in total YH got 26.6 points. YH pouted.
CM smiled as it was fair.

In the last, they gave a mini live show. In the red ocean, accompanied by TOHO dancers, they began the show by ‘Superstar’. The next was danceable ‘Sweat’. They were completely different from them who were exhausted from jumping a rope or preparing for miso-soup like thing.
They gave dynamic, sexy, and cool performance on stage. The audience gave cheers sounded like scream and loud support.

In the “miss you”, They walked through the audience while singing and moved to the rear sub stage.
YH: We TOHOSHINKI are enjoying ourselves.. but Changmin, are you okay?
CM: To be honest with you, I am not okay.
YH: But also today you look cool.
Then they sang their new song, “Time Works Wonders” and “White” a coupling song of the single “Very Merry Xmas” released in 2013 that has never been performed before.
On the stage surrounded by Red Ocean, Bigeasts listened dreamingly the song that was a Xmas gift from TOHOSHINKI.

YH: It was a short time but I really had a good time with you like you did. I knew this.. but I do not need any words with you all, Bigeasts. Through this event, I could feel the bond between you and us/ could feel connected. What I want to you tell you at last is that my miso soup was well received off stage (back stage).

CM: What I want to tell you is that.. without any warming up, you will get muscle pain. Please keep that in your mind. And definitely, I had a great time with you.

Finally,
YH: the next year tour will be terribly exciting!

YH&CM: Thank you, Bigeasts!
They showed their gratitude to their Japanese fans and left the stage.

TOHOSHINKI will release an album “WITH” on December 17.
So far, their albums “TONE” “TIME” “TREE” – all had T from “We are T”
but this time is “WITH”. The meaning is of course, “Together forever”.
