Having concluded the tour that was attended by 250,000 people, Tohoshinki speaks about their dreams from this point on.
Hop, step, jump, then leap. 2008 was the year that they jumped. All the singles that they released became number one on the charts, and also appeared on KÅhaku Uta Gassen at the end of the year. Although they were already top artistes in Korea, when they debuted in Japan in 2005, they could not really converse in Japanese, and also started out from scratch from doing small events. Tohoshinki, who jumped in their third year, took a giant leap forward on their forth anniversary, and became artistes that could draw forth 250,000 people for their Arena Tour, which included a 2-days Live at the Tokyo Dome.
Introduction
Based on the album, , that was released in March, they are currently holding their national tour, which will be attended by 250,000 people. During the tour, they announced that their new single, , will be released on 1st July, and the song’s preview has been released. Sure to be a big hit, this sad love song is the continuation of the popular single , which was released last year.
Besides this, it has been decided that the encore and final performance will be held in the Tokyo Dome on 4th and 5th July; their first time performing there. Just like the album, a more mature Tohoshinki with fantastic dance moves, excellent vocal abilities and hot dance stages will be presented during the Live.
JJ: I feel that the feeling is similar to the case of the male lead being in darkness all the time, unable to see light and that he cannot leave the happy memories behind and in this darkness shows the memories of him and his ex-lover…
CM: The male lead, from my point of view, is one who when reminiscing the past, is determined that he will find hope and continuing his life. Although the melody is soft and gentle, but the feeling is similar to that of being in a darkness and only able to see a small ray of light.. Just like to black and yellow, it’s that kind of feeling.
“Unable to leave the blissful past, I’m currently in darkness..”
– This year’s summer song is a slow romantic song.
YC: Mm, although this song does not sound like usual summer pieces, but it does bring about the kind of loneliness you feel on a summer night.
YH: Till now, there are alot of songs similar to “Sky” and “Summer Dream” that have a carefree summer feeling. Although on the surface, the song “Doumini coopere kimi wo suki ni natte shimattan darou? (Why I like you?)” that was released last year and “Stand by You” which was released this year do not have this carefree feeling but we want to let everyone experience a summer day full of meaning and show everyone that we have matured.
Due to a small meeting, the members arrived at the venue earlier and as if to ensure that everything goes well, they ended the small meeting early and got ready for the filming.
Amongst all this, we walked over to Junsu, who has finished his work, while holding our lunch-boxes. He was holding some food which he bought form a convenience store.
“Woah.. (His eyes start to shimmer), what are you all holding?” He asked.
“It’s our lunch-boxes,” I answered.
“You came just in time (Grinning), have you all been looking at me? Or have you all fallen for me already? Eukyangkyang (aka Junsu’s weird laughter)”
