Livedoor will be publishing a series of interviews with Toho band members following the Toho dancers interviews published back in 2018 September!

The first interview, published on 190216, features Toho band member drummer (@th_groove) Hatano Tetsuya!

Similarly, amongst the different questions they were asked about their career, they were asked about their thoughts of Tohoshinki members. Below is a translation of some relevant parts of the interview!

――東方神起のおふたりはどんな人ですか？

ユンホは、見た通りの人ですね。裏表がないし、楽屋とかでも熱い魂を持ったお兄ちゃん。「今回も東方神起を見せてやるぜ！」ってみんなを盛り上げていく感じです。

チャンミンは、おとなしくて感情を表に出さない印象だし、“スーパーヒーロー”的な立場にいながらも、そこに執着していないように見えるんです。もしかしたらユンホよりもストイックかもしれません。「嫌なものは嫌」「中途半端なものは見せたくない」という思いが意外と強いのかな、と勝手に思っています（笑）。リハーサルで納得いかない部分があると次のリハーサルでは必ずできるようにしてくるんですよ。人知れず努力をしているんだと思います。

Translation: 

– What kind of person Tohoshinki are?

Yunho is exactly what we think he is. He is straightforward and is a passionate guy in our dressing room. “I will show Tohoshinki off this time too!” He leads our team.

I think Changmin is quiet and he doesn’t show his emotion much. Changmin may be in a “super hero position” but I don’t think Changmin really cares about the position. Perhaps Changmin is more strict with himself than Yunho. No means no to him. He doesn’t want to leave things half done. I think he is strong-minded (smile). If he is not satisfied himself during rehearsal, he practices hard so that he can be perfect in the following rehearsal session. I think he practices really hard to achieve his own goal without letting others know.
