[TRANS] TVXQ 4th Album!! ^^

Q1 Condition of TVXQ
All: Hello, we're TVXQ!
CM: Yes, we recently were prepareing for our 4th album, and we also were active in Japan simultaneously. And recently, there has been a concert with our SM family, with SM Town, right?
YC: Right.
CM: It was a place where all the SM members performed together, something I dreamed of; with our juniors, and with BOA senior. It was very meaningful and fun!
JS: Yes, it was great.

Q2 Introduction of the 4th Album
YH: Yes, this album is a very special album to us.
JJ: Of course, we have come back after one year and seven months! We're actually releasing an album after such a long time, and the title of the album is "Mirotic". Yes, and firstly, Mirotic is a new word! Just like the two chinese characters, it means 'maze', and -tic. -Tic is an english word, which you put after a an adjective. So you can say that it's a fusion between chinese characters and english. So it's a new word!
YH: Does it mean that this album is an album you can't escape from?
JJ: Yes, it does.
JS: It means it's that type of album, with that type of song.
JJ: Yep, you can't come out of my spell. I feel as if the album connects with our song called "Joomun (Mirotic)", and if you listen and listen again to our album, you probably can't stop. (YC:Attractive album). As much as it took us to prepare for this album, it is filled with very solid songs as well, so please listen to it.

Q3 Introduction of the Title Song "Mirotic"
JJ: And our title track!
YH: Our title track is "Mirotic," and, I mean can't you just feel something by just the title?
JJ: It's a spell!
YH: Yes, it's a spell!
JS: Please order the album (Joomon in korean means both spell and to order!)
JJ: A while back, there was an Internet article called "We take orders for TVXQ," I was so shocked! Look at their type of sense.
YH: Our title song, Mirotic, is a dance song composed of a reverse beat. It is a song with a very sophisticated yet cold touch to it. I think that the chorus, especially, is very charming. You fall for me, you go crazy for me, you're my slave, and so on. It's basically about us, putting on a spell onto one woman. A thing like 'you can't leave me'.
JS: It's the apperance of a very confident man.
YH: Yes, a very positive man.

Q4 An episode you remember the most during the prepare of the album
YH: During the time of a year and 7 months, there were numerous episodes while we tried out best to produce this album.
YC: There were more than many! Firstly, while we were filming the music video of Mirotic; during Changmin's solo scence, it was very late, and everybody was tired. Well, Changmin was under water, in a water tank, and he dived and swam around BUT that tank ended up breaking!
JS: What broke?
YC: Don't you not know? The tank!
JS: Huh? It broke?
YC: HAHAHAHA
JS: Ah! Right it did break!
YC: You know right? (JS: Yes, yes, yes!) Well, the tank broke, and so it took more time than we expected, and plus, Changmin had a cold!
JS: I felt bad for him, while I was watching him film his part.
YH: What I remember the most is during our photoshoot; even though the music video was filmed excitingly! There were slightly some scenes where we showed some skin, right?
JJ: Yes there was.
YH: So I remember how the five of us excerized
JJ: We really tried our best
JS: Really tried our best!

Q5 Future Plans in Korea
JS: We're back after a year and seven months, finally, and releasing an album. We put a lot of effort in it, since it's our fourth album, and we tried our best to produce and prepare for it. We'll be greeting you with an awesome performance, awesome live, and awesome dance with Mirotic, so please look forward to it. We really want to be active until the end of 2008 in Korea, so please help us, and support us!

JS: It was TVXQ until now! Thank you!

[Trans] TVXQ Exclusive Interview: Fourth Album Surprises

Reporter ®: The latter half of 2008 will be dedicated to your fourth album. The cover picture has already been released; how do the members feel about the picture?

Jaejoong: Actually, revealing the cover picture now is good, and so are the videos. These are only very small portions of what is to come. When the time comes for the official release of the fourth album, we will show fans many things they've never seen before. We hope people will keep supporting us. Please anticipate it!

R: Do you think there are any special differences between Chinese and Korean fans?

Yunho: First of all, there is the language difference. (Laughs)

Junsu: The most unique aspect of Chinese fans is their lightboards. From the "TVXQ" lightboards to individual member name lightboards, the impression is good.

R: TVXQ's performances always have a lot of dance steps. It's raining today; are you guys worried that it will affect your performance? And there will be many fans attending, so do you guys have any words of caution for your fans?

Yunho: We're actually pretty worried that the rain will affect the outcome of our performance. But we can't stop the rain, and if you think about it another way, we can make some very special memories with our fans, being in the rain with them.

Junsu: With our clothes wet, maybe the effect will be even better!

Yunho: And, everyone! Don't catch a cold by standing in the rain! Safety is always first. Don't slip and fall!

R: Do you feel anything different coming to China this time?

Yunho: Last time we came to China for a TVXQ concert, but this time, we're here not as TVXQ, but as "SMTOWN." The feeling is really good.

TVXQ: TVXQ fighting! Sohu, fighting!

R (after thoughts): If I'm not mistaken, this is Sohu's first interview with TVXQ in two years! I was also able to see them from this close of a distance in 2004, and if we talk about differences, over four years, a group of cute boys have grown into charismatic men! After the interview, the media asked TVXQ to switch poses for pictures, and they went back to their humorous personalities, making new hand gestures and laughing at the same time.

{Trans + pic} KERA Magazine - Jaejoong's Solo Interview (April 2008)

Do the best in all 17 performances

Interviewer: From February until March, singles featuring each member were released and the last one is JaeJoong’s ‘Keyword/Maze’, right?

JaeJoong: This is the very first time we done it one by one like this. Each with the genre we like, like Yunho’s genre is hiphop.

I: Then, JaeJoong’s genre ‘Rock’?

JJ: Yes, I like ‘Rock’. When I was in high school, I did vocal for the members. When being asked what my wish is, I answered, “I wanna try something Rock”.

I: Even in fashion, among the members, JaeJoong is being thought as the rock type also, right? And you even sing with husky voice, song with heavy beat, so cool!

JJ: I like tight (tight-fit) clothes. This time, it seems that TVXQ are able to receive this genre well, that’s really great.

I: Coupling song, ‘Thousand years love song’ is the theme song for the drama ‘The Legend (太王四神記) where Bae YongJun stars inside, right?

JJ: Yes, this is also a new taste of a song. We want to challenge different ‘taste’ of songs like this while hoping to let everybody listen to different types of our songs.

I: Well, I think by the time this book is being published, the Arena tour concert will be in second half already. The size of the concert ground is smaller than in Korea, so you guys already get used to it already, right?

JJ: The size is almost the same but we didn’t do as long (as in Japan). This time, there are 17 performances to do in Japan. I’m happy. I’ll do my best.
