Our talented and humble boys~
What an awesome last night in Japan before I headed back to London.
Spent the evening at Kyocera Dome with Tohoshinki (TVXQ).
The amazing stage set & special effects was only surpassed by the brilliant musicianship, captivating choreography, Two young men at the top of their game singing, dancing and communicating effortlessly to the masses. 3hours & 30 minutes when by like a blur. It was emotional when the band played Colibri as #yunho and #changmin talked to their adoring fans. They are one of the biggest bands in Asia, yet there was not one over inflated ego in sight. Back stage I was blown away as they told me that Incognito was a part of the soundtrack of their lives. Thanks for a brilliant night fellas!
One Love… Bluey #tvxq #tohoshinki#kyoseradome #kpop #kpopdance #avex

SPUR Special Long Interview TOHOSHINKI
Yunho and Changmin talked about their “Precious time and Feeling of love”.
~After we had been separated, we understood the importance of each other.~
Q. Your fans and SPUR had been so looking forward to your return! First of all, can the two of you tell us how you were during the two years?
YH: Yes. Prior to the two years, I worked as Yunho of TOHOSHINKI but in these two years, I spent some important time as Jung Yunho to look back myself. I thought over the path that I took while working very hard. I also thought about the new path leading to my future as a human being, Jung Yunho, as well as Yunho of TOHOSHINKI. And thinking about these things made me excited about my future!
CM: For me, it was the period of a new turning point. The environment that I was in was completely different from where I was previously and it was really hard because I had hard time for getting used to that kind of life and sometimes I felt inconvenience. On the other hand, I was able to do something that I could not do well previously. Like reading a book or keeping my journal. I think after all it was a good experience for me to challenge myself in many aspects. Continue reading

Joyful dates that the two of Tohoshinki have in their minds.
Q. You just resumed your activities after two years of hiatus, so I guess you don’t have time to think about a date. But today, it will be great if you could fantasize about a “joyful date”.
To begin with, do you have any movie or drama in your mind that have your ideal date scene?
YH: There are many. I do not know the Japanese title but, there is a Korean movie where a college student couple sneaked into an amusement park after it was closed and spend their time all alone there. It is thrilling and I think that it will be a special memory.
CM: Is that about “My Sassy Girl”?
YH: Yes, you are right. Well, it is violating the law to sneak into the amusement part (laugh). But I wish to rent the amusement park for my date.
CM: For me, it is in “1 Day” a British film. I do not have a particular scene that I like but overall it is a romantic film. Right now, They enjoy spending time together and when they are apart, they still think about each other. They are passionate and it is really lovely.
YH: I guess, I’ll change to “Beauty and Beast”. On our special day, I want to dance a waltz like them and do something special. Continue reading
