This is a general and fast guide for ifans who wish to support Tohoshinki!

 

  • Online Stores:

Please support Tohoshinki’s DVD/Single/Official Releases by buying your own copy through online stores such as

  1. Amazon Japan, (Japanese Store, English available)*
  2. CDJapan, (Japanese Store, English available)* [Update: currently, new CD/DVD can only be shipped locally in Japan]
  3. HMV, (Japanese Store, English available)*
  4. YESAsia (non-Japanese store)

*Check the post below on how to count your purchase on oricon chart.

You could also later buy the Korean/Taiwanese official release of the DVD/single when it becomes available:

  1. DVDHeaven (Ktown4u) (Korean Store in English)
  2. YESAsia

 

 

  • Oricon Chart:

As many know now, Oricon Chart no longer counts products shipped overseas from any Japanese store, that’s it, right now Only products shipped locally/inside Japan are counted.

However, there is a way for overseas fans who wish to have their Tohoshinki purchases count in Oricon Chart:

  1. Buy from an online Japanese store that count on Oricon (e.g. like the 1-3 stores listed above, or check more here).
  2. Ship it to a local (Japanese) address.
  3. After it arrives there, ship your item to your oversea address.

How to get a Japanese address?

  1. You could use the help of a friend who lives in Japan, by shipping your purchase to their address then they ship it to yours abroad.
  2. OR You could use Shipments Forwarding Services in Japan such as Tenso or Celga:
    1. They provide you with a local shipping address you can use for any online Japanese stores to ship the desired items locally first.
    2. Next, Tenso/Celga collects it, keeps it for you (see their websites for how long), and this way your purchases can be counted on Oricon.
    3. Lastly, Tenso/Celga ships it to your original address overseas.
      (Read their websites for more information on the procedure, available shipping methods and the handling fees, etc.)

 

For any questions/updates to the list, please comment bellow or email us at TVXQExpress@gmail.com and we will try our best to help

[Trans] 140825 Tohoshinki: The reason why tears are overflowing our eyes while watching Tohoshinki TREE DVD? [Spoiler]

Note: first part of the article, which was introducing Tree Tour and the description of the DVD contents wasn’t covered in this translation.

The reason why tears are overflowing our eyes while watching Tohoshinki TREE DVD? [Spoiler]

http://ure.pia.co.jp/articles/-/25358

The most interesting footage is the making video of the tour that is included in the third disk for the first-run limited edition. It shows the behind the scenes of their spectacular stages, and everyone including Tohoshinki fans should watch at least once.

The full smile of young and old, man and woman who were gathered under the tree of Tohoshinki.. I am sure that your eyes will be filled with tears from the very beginning.

The disk includes individual interviews of the two, rehearsal, how they were just before coming out on the stage, interactions/communication with staffs, how they were when they were relaxed, and etc. I was completely absorbed into their many expressions and words/actions, and lost time.

Their eyes were totally serious when they were doing rehearsals, they are professionals when they discussed with Sam who was the producer of the tour. One time, Changmin argued and talked about his own thoughts. He was assertive but calm. I was quite struck by the fact that this face of Changmin is a bit different from him on the stage. And of course, this is because Changmin has matured and I was impressed by that.

And I was so touched by Yunho talked about Changmin, Changmin for Yunho, and his relationship with Changmin. There are not many people who can find a partner like the way where Changmin is to Yunho. Further, I also was very touched by Changmin talked about Yunho, Yunho for Changmin, and his relationship with Yunho. The celebration of 9 years of Tohoshinki… and the atmosphere surrounding staffs, band members, dancers, everyone in the team Tohoshinki made me feel so comfortable/assured and I was envy for all of them.

In addition, both Yunho and Changmin revealed the side of them being human. They showed their frustration, irritation, impatience towards themselves. That is all because they were very serious (about their stage/performance).

They had 29 concerts only in two months. One would not put 100% effort but take it easy on occasions, or get injured because it was such a hard schedule. Yunho had injured his ankle ligament, however, he always put more than 100% of his effort and he has never taken things easy. He was absolutely professional. Of course, it’s not just Yunho but Changmin too.

Why? You can find the answer in the documentary.

At the end, they talked about their dreams. Yunho who had dreamed about standing on a stage for a long time, and Changmin who was discovered and then stands in the spotlight.. they are just like the two sides of the same coin.. their dreams are full of them. Their thoughts and feelings overflow through their dreams.

In the ending, their comments at the Kyocera Dome (that fans are longing for) are included. I hope you can see their faces/expressions, and you feel the tone and the pitch of their words, and the temperature/atmosphere. I wish you can feel their overflown feelings through the scenes.

After I watched the documentary, I watched the concert again. Usually, they do not show behind the scenes so I felt something different. But I was glad that I watched the behind the scenes. This DVD completes The TREE TOUR. Now the tour is over.

[trans] October issue of WITH magazine, Part 2 of the behind-the-scenes stories of Tohoshinki’s cover page photoshoot — Tohoshinki’s charms which even men fall for!

<Tohoshinki’s charms which even men fall for!>

When was the last time that we worked together with TVXQ… While preparing for the photoshoot in the studio within the city of Tokyo, I checked my iPhone in order to recall when that was, and would you believe it, it has already been 3 years ago!! Perhaps it was because I had been feeling the activity of the both of them constantly on TV, in movies, in magazines and compared to anything else, at their live concerts, it did not seem like it had been something that long ago. The cover appearance which I had continuously wanted to work together with them on from that time onwards has finally been realized in this issue. So a long time has also passed before it has been realized… While I was dwelling over this, “Hello!”, (I heard) the familiar voices which I had heard in CDs and at their live concerts!!! Tohoshinki, who made time amidst their concert tour to come, exuded a comfortable atmosphere which was again different from those artistes’ faces which were filled with overflowing anxiety while they are on stage. Of course, even with such an appearance, Tohoshinki are also as suave as them. While going “It’s been a long time~” and speaking with us, even the air in the studio received a “bo~ing” boost at their easygoingness.

While he was in the midst of trying out his outfits, Yunho-ssi and I stood chatting. While being thankful for the opportunity afforded by this job, I tried throwing a simple question at him, going “A live tour with 29 concerts in 11 cities nationwide, aren’t you tired out by such packed schedule?” “If I think of it as work or obligation,it would perhaps be too much for me (laughs). I am doing it because it’s enjoyable. The live concerts are something precious which we create together with the fans as we go along, and because this is something we challenge ourselves with.” Ah.. So this is it. Tohoshinki, who have not in the least changed from the first time we interviewed them, and who have always maintained this upright mindset. It is of course not just the ladies who resonated with this strongly in their hearts.

After completing the preparations, the photoshoot finally started! Amidst the various requests which were emerging in order to capture and emit the “present” of Tohoshinki, who possess the mature aura of men, the both of them responded to the said requests with “more than that requested” in an enjoyable manner. Starting from the staff who were checking the monitor, including the cameraman, the voices of “Great!!” kept emerging, but once the shots appeared, because they kept having new facial expressions the more the shots appeared, the photoshoot was not able to stop!!! (laughs). There is something known as the best subject for photography! And it is this!! These breath-taking soundless moments where the staff unanimously go “This facial expression… yes this is it!!”, how many times did this happen on this day… Thanks to them, the photoshoot was extended a little and although it is also a fact that the interview time was decreased, it was really shortened by only a very little bit. A little bit!!

Even during the interview, the both of them also responded with replies, with each and every phase reflecting their own thoughts. However, it is inevitable that the time for ending the interview soon approached closer, the more we thought, “We want to hear more from them!!” When they were greeting us as they were leaving, Yunho said, “When we did a photoshoot the last time around, you said “let’s do a magazine cover page some day”. It’s been realized”.

While going “So he.. remem.. remem.. remembered…!!!” and desperately trying to stop myself from crying from being moved by him, I said “Thank you!!!” while greeting him deeply with my heartfelt feelings. While going “Someday, let’s again have a cover page with Tohoshinki on the cover no matter what!!! To my heart’s content!! Extra large page size!!”, I pledged strongly to myself deeply within my heart.

Tohoshinki is scheduled to appear in the October issue of Vogue Japan (release on 140828). This issue includes a making video of the photoshoot and a message from Tohoshinki

Here is a preview of the video, it includes an NG cut of the comment (Yunho said the 10th Anniversary instead of 15th) that’s been edited out from the upcoming Making Video:

Also Here are translations of some tweets on the topic by Magara Eri (@magaratta), an Editor:

Which one of them to open the bottle of Champagne, Yunho-san let Changmin-san do it, “Changmin should try/challenge it!” Changmin-san looked a bit nervous but he tried it.
We were able to feel the strong brotherly relationship where they are bonded with trust at the photo shoot.

Changmin-san was a bit concerned/worried about Yunho-san who had Champagne splashed over his face. After finishing the photo shoot, Yunho-san stepped out to wash his face before the interview. Changmin-san said, “Can you wait for him a little? I am sorry.” to show care/respect to the staffs.

“I really had a great experience.” Changmin-san greeted us politely with full smile. “I did my best.” Yunho-sand said. (I am sorry the photo shoot was really a hard one!><) Tortoise and Champagne.. if the photoshoots of Vogue are good memories/experiences for Tohoshinki, that is really great. Thank you very much!

in addition, the comment in the short movie is edited out as a NG scene. The OK scene will be included in the making film so please look forward to it.

Tohoshinki featured in VOGUE JAPAN Oct issue
written by: Mihoko Iida (@mihokoiida)

Hello Everyone, I am Mihoko Iida from Vogue Japan.
Thank you for waiting! Tohoshinki are featured in the Oct issue of Vogue Japan. This year is the 15th anniversary since the first publication of Vogue Japan. The Oct issue is the second special issue for the anniversary. I thank the two of them (Tohoshinki) as well as all the staffs for featuring Tohoshinki for this very special issue!!!

The date, Aug 28th on which the Oct issue will be on sale is coincidentally very close to the date for their Live DVD [Tohoshinki LIVE TOUR 2014 TREE] being on sale. So we decided to celebrate each other splendidly!!! That was the concept behind the shooting this time.

We will show you a glimpse of the behind the shooting scenes.
→http://www.vogue.co.jp/videos/detail/2014-08/25/the-gift-of-celebration

Actually, when we were thinking about the concept of the photoshoot, we initially planned to let Yunho-san open a bottle of Champagne. At the venue, Yunho-san told us, “I had experience in opening bottles of Champagne. So it should be okay!/Do not worry!” And everyone was “ Sounds great!” and counted on him. However, when the photo shoot started, we soon realized that the bubbles of Champagne have to splash from the left to the right to make the photo look the most beautiful. In order to make the possible, they needed to stand in the positions switched from their usual ones. Changmin-san’s hair was parted in the right and his bang was a bit covering over his left eye.. so if he stands on the right, we could not see his face well because his bang was covering his face. So, they needed to keep their usual positions and we were going to let the bubbles of Champagne splash from the right to the left. As soon as we suggested, Yunho-san said, “You know, I have done this before. So this time, Changmin should try it!” Changmin-san looked delighted to hear that and said,”Since I have not done it, I wanna try it!” It looked as if the very kind/caring older brother was letting his younger brother to do the task. They both looked so cute/adorable. However, there were only a limited number of bottles so failure was not really allowed. So I asked Changmin-san, ”Do you want to practice opening a Champagne bottle first?” (I am sorry Changmin-san!). Then Yunho-san pointed out, “If you let him practice, you gonna miss the best shot/best facial expression.” Ohhhh, certainly!!! I understood immediately what Yunho-san said. Subsequently, we were able to take the first shot with a bit of accident where the Champagne directly splashed over Yunho-san’s face (!). Changmin-san was able to experience opening Champagne bottles for a few times. We were able to take the best and cool pictures of Tohoshinki in celebration. After finishing the photo shoot, Changmin-san said, “The last time, we were able to take pictures with the tortoise and this time, we were able to have a Champagne shower.. we really had a good time.” His words touched our heart deeply~. Also, I sincerely thank from my bottom of heart for your wonderful teamwork.

(omit the rest)
