DBSK are still leading in the categories they’re nominated in, which are 2009 Star and 2009 Mania (the rest of categories are mostly topped by SM artists, lol ^^;;;;)

2009 Song -SNSD
2009 Artiste - Super Junior

How to Watch Japanese TV Online

1. First, download a program call KeyHole TV (NOT KeyHole Video): http://www.v2p.jp/video/english/

Around a year ago, there were many other ways to watch Japanese TV online (TVU, etc.), but since then Japanese companies have become much stricter about copyright issues, so for now, the only way that I can know of is through KeyHole TV.

2. KeyHole TV has working versions for both Mac & Windows. And I think the installation is very easy to follow. I've installed this since forever so I don't remember the installation steps though :/

3. After you already install KeyHole, it should look something like this (mine is KeyHole for Mac so Windows' might look slightly different):



4. If you scroll down to the very end, the most important channels (TBS, Fuji TV, NTV, TV Asahi) all concentrate in this area ^^

ζ—₯テレ = NTV (Best Hits Music Festival, etc.)
TBS (Japan Record Award, Utaban, etc.
γƒ†γƒ¬γƒ“ζœζ—₯ = TV Asahi (Music Station, etc.)
フジテレビ = Fuji TV (FNS Music Festival, HEY! HEY! HEY!, etc.)



5. To watch a channel, select the channel and click on the WATCH button.
If you accidentally hit something that only the audio comes out, that means you just hit a radio channel lol. Sometimes if the broadcaster is online, you'll also be able to listen to Bigeastion on KeyHole ^^

6. And before that, don't forget to check the time so you won't miss the show ;D

Message from Bigeast fans

Message from Bigeast fans:

Dear Cassiopeia Members,

This is Kocha from Bigeast, Japan.

This may not be the appropriate place to post this news,
but we do not know exactly where to, since most of us cannot
write Korean.

First of all, we would like to thank you all for always protecting TVXQ and keeping the faith in them.

Because of the differeces in organization and in culture, we cannot do as much as you do in SK and the rest of Asia.

However, now that TVXQ are in Japan, we would like to do our
best to avoid their disbanding.

We know from the news TVXQ are very close to disband.
And we've learned fan's power is very needed.

We are working on this movement, called "Send A Thank You Postcard to AVEX".

It is to let Mr. Matsuura know our appreciation for his support for the five, and also to beg him to guarantee their activity in both S.Korea and in Japan (and the rest of Asia).

We believe there is no Tohoshinki without Dong Bang Shinki.
TVXQ is the precious star that was born in S.Korea.
It is unbearable to see them not able to sing in their own country.

The thank-you post cards are supposed to be arrived at AVEX on
November 30th.

It is important that all the mail arrive on the same date so that Japanese media will pick up the news.

But this may not enough, because Japanese media this year tend to focus on Arashi's 10th year anniversary and their first time attending Kohaku.

We would like to make sure that this "send a thank-you post card to AVEX" to be broadcasted and told through Korean media, so that
SM will hear it clear.

So, we need to ask all the bilingual(English/Korean/Chinese etc.) writers a help.
Because we believe this may be our last chance to keep the five together.

PLEASE!! spread this news here in DBSK Knights, AiNoSaranghae, DNBN, Korean TV Stations, Korean newspaper, Korean magazines, and any other media
possible.

We don't want to lose our last chance!!

Make sure to let them know that even the QUIET Japanese fans are raising their voice!!

However, we are not hoping for a battle.

If there is 1% of possibility for them to avoid disbanding,
we would like to bet on it.

Again, all the mail will be ARRIVED at AVEX on November 30th.

Thank you very much for your support.

This is the time when Bigeast and Cassiopeia get together to fully support TVXQ.

Sincerely,

Kocha from Bigeast, Japan

Mel's note: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! We're mentioned by Bigeasts. I thought that our blog is just some small blog but we're actually considered big. This really made every DBSKnights admin and staff really happy!!

Rachel's note: I just can't believe that DBSKnights and DNBN are mentioned in the same breath! Thank you! And since everyone is asking, here's Avex's address:

SM "We Never Sold TVXQ Tickets Without

SM has released an official statement regarding the civil appeal TVXQ fans submitted to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism that pertains to the group's China concert.

On the 24th, SM stated to Money Today Starnews that, "We had originally planned twelve concerts for TVXQ's third Asia concert tour with Korean Concert Agency Dream Maker in June of 2008," and "According to the contract, all concert procedures and permission applications, as well as ticket sales are being covered by Dream Maker and a domestic concert planning agency."

They strongly stated that, "Therefore, it is incorrect to say that SM sold TVXQ's Shenzhen concert tickets in China without the permission of the Chinese government."

SM also added, "We conversed with concert planning agency Dream Maker, who was in charge of the Shenzhen concert that was to be on the 21st as well as the entire Asia tour. Dream Maker stated that there were no problems with ticket sales or permission grants for the Shenzhen concert."

SM stated that Dream Maker said, "The Chinese concert planning agency we worked with was the 'Nanjing Asia Pacific Correspondence of Culture Exchange Corporation' and they were informed by the People's Republic of China's Ministry of Culture that 'Permission is granted for TVXQ's Guangdong (Shenzhen) concert' on the 21st of October. The Chinese agency also received the 'Ratification by the Ministry of Culture of Korean TVXQ's Concert in Guangdong (Shenzhen) [2009] Number 2146." Dream Maker states that it began selling tickets as soon as permission was granted on the 21st.

SM said, "The 'TVXQ Guangdong Concert Permission Related Ratification' that was released on October 28th was related to the documents and visas foreign artistes needed to perform in China, and had nothing to do with ticket sales."

They continued by saying "We are having to pay compensation to the Chinese concert planning agency as the Shenzhen concert was canceled," and "To say that we would sell concert tickets, then cancel the concert on purpose is just a spiteful statement; we would like it if people stopped saying false accusations that are far from the truth."

super junior m super girl #1



Great news! SUPER JUNIOR-M “Super Girl” Mini-Album is the NUMBER ONE album in MUSIC ONE stores ! What’s amazing is that the album shot straight to the #1 position of its first week of release ! The chart is based on the total sales tabulated from the three Music One record stores (Glorietta, Greenbelt and Quezon Avenue).

The Asian superstar group’s latest CD outsold albums by Andrea Bocelli (My Christmas), Michael Jackson (This Is It) and Taylor Swift (Fearless Platinum Edition). This is the SECOND NUMBER ONE for Super Junior and they are the ONLY Asian act to have TWO NUMBER ONE ALBUMS in the Philippines. This further confirms the strong support the group is getting from their solid followers here! Universal Records is the FIRST record label in the country to have THREE NUMBER ONE Asian Pop albums – Super Junior “Sorry Sorry”, Girls’ Generation “Genie” and now Super Junior-M “Super Girl” !

Super Junior-M often referred to as SJ-M, is the third official sub-unit of Korean boy band Super Junior. The group consists of Super Junior members Han Geng (the leader), Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, and two other members, Henry and Zhou Mi. The “Super Girl” mini-album contains songs written by some of the best Korean songwriters including Yoo Young-jin, who has penned music for Boa and TVXQ, and E-Tribe, best known for Girls’ Generation’s hit single “Gee”. The album tracks are sung in Chinese, as the group mostly works in China. The seven members become every girl’s superman for their first single “Super Girl”, a mega-catchy club dance number similar in style to the Super Junior hit “Sorry Sorry”. Helmed by the director of “Mirotic” and “Gee”, the “Super Girl” music video has a house party theme and features the guys’ hot dance moves plus a cute guest appearance by Girls’ Generation’s Jessica. Other than “Super Girl”, Super Junior M’s first mini-album comes with four more Mandarin ballads and fast numbers including “Blue Tomorrow” and “Only U”.

Super Junior-M “Super Girl” Tracklisting :

01. Super Girl
02. εˆ°δΊ†ζ˜Žε€©(Blue Tomorrow)
03. ε‘Šη™½(Confession)
04. ε‹•ζƒ… (Only U)

He seems to abroad the airplane.
Yes, the airplane coming to Japan.

I told Jaejoong how he is loved by the Japanese fans.
I told him little by little, one by one, in details.
First of all it was "Do you know how much you are loved by the Japanese fans?"
And next one was,
"For everyone, Tohoshinki is Jinsei (T/N life) itself….Do you know the meaning of Jinsei?"
"Oh, yes, I understand" ← this is Jaejoong’s words.
"You are the light, support, and encouragement of their lives."
I was saying to him, "I made a promise with your fans that I will convey their feelings, as far as time permits."
Jaejoong was saying "Yes, yes", during my words.
Everyone is so worried about you.
"Oh…Yes"
"Say a word to your fans"
"Well…What should I say? For this case, what is the correct answer?"

JaeJoong, JunSu and YooChun took the flight to Japan at 7:40pm from Gimpo Airport.

Because the the flight schedule was so sudden, only 10 or so Cassies managed to make it. The 3 of them seem to be in a good mood and JaeJoong even gave Miss Kitagawa Eriko (writer for 'Heaven Postman') a call before boarding. YooChun was humming some song loudly.

[NEWS]091124: SM "working on having all five member make an appearance." quoted by SM.

TVXQ to appear on NHK's "Red and White Song Battle"

Korean idol group TVXQ is set to appear on NHK TV's "Red and White Song Battle" next month,
according to the Japanese broadcaster's website.

NHK announced on its official website on Tuesday that the K-pop boy band will appear on "Battle",
which has been Japan's signature year-end festivity for the past sixty years.

The show brings together the most successful music acts in the country and Asia and divides them
into two teams -- the Red Team for female artists and the White Team for male artists.
The singers or groups perform for their teams and the winning team is decided at the very end of the show,
which ends shortly before midnight.

According to the report by NHK, TVXQ will be performing for the White Team which includes 24 other
top singers and groups such as Arashi and SMAP.
This makes TVXQ the only Korean artist to appear on "Battle" for two consecutive years.

TVXQ, a five-member boy band, is one of most successful K-pop acts in Asia.
Recently, the group has not been performing as a group since three of its members are
currently in a legal dispute with their agency SM Entertainment.

SM, however, was quoted as saying that they are "working on having all five member make an appearance."


"Battle" airs live on NHK channel on December 31.

Selling Tickets Without Government Permission, TVXQ fans Complain...


TVXQ fans has filed a complaint to SM (CEO Kim Young-min) to relevant department about the starting of ticket sales of Shenzhen concert scheduled on last November 21st before getting any permission from China government.

On last November 16th a complaint file entitled “SM Entertainment ignores China’s Administrative Procedure-A concern to China Cultural Exchange Inhibition” was received by Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism from TVXQ fansite DNBN.

“According to the complaint filed in homepage of Department of Cultural Affairs, the official approval for TVXQ concert that was supposedly held in Shenzhen, Guangdong province, China was out on October 28th, however the ticket sales was already accomplished at the end of September, eventually SM had sold concert tickets without any permission from the Chinese government.” the fansite pointed out their complaints.

“Eventhough now there’s a ticket refund for the audiences that are supposed to go to the concert hall, however it’s still not considered transportation costs, visa fee to enter China for especially foreign audiences including the opportunity costs damage everyone has suffered.”



(the screen capture of TVXQ’s fans complain in Ministry of Culture website)


In particular they continued, “SM ignored the administrative procedure as they announced the concert to public in the process of China’s approval. This unreasonable South Korea Entertainment ticket sales could leads to national image damage as the Chinese government would think other South Korea singers may do the same act of holding concert before getting any permission.”

“Usually SM artists’ concert is held at least 4-6 months after gaining the permission, thus this process of Shenzhen concert is definitely unreasonable.”

Towards this accusation, SM official responded on the 24th to Star Money Today, “TVXQ’s 3rd Asia Concert in Shenzhen is their 12th stops which was planned already when the contract with Dream Maker was signed back then in July 2008. Under the agreement, all aspects that are related to the concert including ticket sales and permission approval from local government are obliged to Dream Maker.” he said.

“Therefore, the claim of selling of TVXQ concert in Shenzhen ticket without any permission from Chinese government shall not be directed to SM.” he strongly refuted. “We also had contacted Dream Maker earlier about the plan to conduct the last November 21st-scheduled TVXQ Asian Tour in Shenzhen and they confirmed that there’s no problem at all in ticket sales and any related legal procedures.”

Dream Maker, in other side, explained, “For this last stop of concert in China, the Ministry of Culture of RRC autorizhed TVXQ’s concert in last October 21st. ‘The content of Korean TVXQ Guangdong (Shenzhen) concert agreement is ratified by the Ministry of Culture [2009] No. 2146′”

SM said, “(related to fans’ complaint) the permission approved by the Cultural Affairs of Guangdong Province issued on October 28th was unrelated to the ticket sales permission, it’s merely about visas for foreign artists which will perform and relevant documents and information submission.” he also added, “Because the cancelation of concert in Shenzhen, we’re now in the situation where have to pay for the damages. As we already sold the tickets, canceling a concert is definitely not our intention. In the future we hope there’s no more false claim like this being refrained.”

Avex President Max Matsuura's Blog Entry


[T/N: I previously translated Max Matsuura's blog entry about a fake email about Tohoshinki was being spread around. However, today, another fake email has been spread around again, so he had to clarify it on his blog.]

An email regarding Tohoshinki has been spread around. Please take note that the irresponsible email below is completely nonsense and groundless.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

[T/N: This is another fake email about Tohoshinki that has been spread around.]

As everyone already knows,
there are some people who have been causing troubles to Tohoshinki lately,
and those people who think badly of Tohoshinki
have been slandering and harassing them.
All the members have been getting a lot of damages due to that.

I, as the responsible personnel of the company,
wasn't able to stop those harassing websites early enough.

However, because of everything that is going on right now,
I have been thinking
that I should take some actions
to shut down those harmful website and mobile sites
that I mentioned above.

I believe that the fans who have been loving Tohoshinki
from the bottom of their hearts,
have been hurt a lot.

I am asking for your understanding
regarding this situation.

The Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) came to an end Saturday, but unfortunately, there were some shortcomings despite it being called Asia's best music award event.

The much-anticipated event was held at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, with young fans lined up near the entrances in hopes of catching a glimpse of some of their favorite K-pop singers.

Mnet Media scrapped its 10-year Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF) in October, announcing that it was bringing an upgraded music event for not only fans in Korea, but throughout Asia as well. While the overall show was entertaining, it failed to truly captivate fans with its results and concept.

The red carpet entrance was a good way to kick off the six-hour event, with female singers donning stylish outfits, mostly in black, some in fur and others in leather.

MAMA offered eight main stages, or ``waves,'' each with special concepts and performances.

The first wave, ``Asian Fever,'' featured Drunken Tiger, who later won the Best Male Solo Artist. The award for the Best Female Solo Artist went to Baek Ji-young. The Best New Male Artist went to the Supreme Team, while 2NE1 won the Best New Female Artist, and two other awards eventually, including the Best Music Video and, one of the grand prizes, the Best Song of the Year for ``I Don't Care.''

The second wave, ``Girls x Girls,'' featured top girl groups the Brown Eyed Girls, which won the Best Female Group and Best House & Electronic awards, and KARA, which won Best Dance.

Seo In-gook, the winner of the Mnet's popular reality program, ``Superstar K,'' also performed in the third wave, ``Super Stardom,'' while the fourth wave, ``21st Street,'' featured the girl group 2NE1 performing in a short musical skit. The stage was decorated like a small village with shops and a two-story house, which was where Park Bom sang her solo number ``You And I.'' The musical was lively with the members singing ``I Don't Care,'' with a chorus line twist, but the signboards were embarrassing, misspelling a couple of words, including ``coffee.''

After former g.o.d. member Kim Tae-woo received the Best Ballad/R&B award, the stage made way for the Best Asian Star, TVXQ. The first official appearance of the three members Xiah, Micky and Hero since the dispute with their agency started surprised fans for two reasons: one was because the group's agency SM Entertainment boycotted the event citing flaws in the judging system and the second was because they appeared without the other two members. The three members are currently engaged in a legal dispute with SM regarding their contracts and cosmetic business.

``We are very happy as the award was given by our Asian fans. For our fans, and also our two friends who may be watching this somewhere, we would like to say that we love you,'' Hero said.

The fifth wave ``Free to the Women'' brought an exciting lineup of female rappers, while the sixth wave ``World of Temptation'' captivated fans and singers with a vampire-inspired stage featuring sexy singer Ivy and 2PM's Nichkhun.

Park Jin-young, the creator of the Wonder Girls, also made a special appearance to receive the Best Asian Composer award.

Big Bang members Tae-yang and G-Dragon rocked the seventh wave, ``Korean Dream,'' dressed in black and white with impressive dance moves. The last wave was a tribute to veteran singer Sim Soo-bong, who was the first singer to make it to the MAMA Hall of Fame. Singers Kim Tae-woo, Epik High and Seo In-young sang some of Sim's best songs, while all the singers came on stage to congratulate the singer.

Along with 2NE1's win for Song of the Year, the other two grand prizes went to G-Dragon for Album of the Year and 2PM for Artist of the Year.

``Thank you, Jae-beom. I know you're watching. We love you,'' Chan-sung said in tears, referring to the group's leader who left the group after being criticized for his comments he made of Korea when he was a trainee. Fans also expressed their excitement and sorrow by screaming out Jae-beom and the group's name.

The event ended with Tiger JK from Drunken Tiger promising a bigger event next year and, indeed, MAMA needs improvements to live up to expectations.

The event did surprise fans with congratulatory messages from famous singers, including Janet Jackson, Lady Gaga, the Black Eyed Peas and even Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls.

However, despite the title, there was nothing Asian about MAMA. No Asian singers other than ones from Korea were nominated in even one of the main 19 categories, nor were there any foreign artists performing on the local stage, except for two short performances by Asian Recommended winners Bang Bang Tang from China, which was carried out in Chinese with no subtitles, and Japanese group AKB 48 in Japan.

Along with frequent camera mistakes, the event did not include some of the most popular groups, including Girls' Generation and Super Junior, while famous trot singers such as Jang Yoon-jeong and Park Hyun-bin also boycotted the event, questioning the fairness in selecting candidates for the newly established Best Trot award.

The launch of the new event this year seemed like a teaser trailer, full of catchy acts and sequences, minus some key players and reasonable ratings. According to Mnet Media, MAMA will be held in different regions in Asia next year. Perhaps this will help the event live up to expectations as Asia's best music awards, but for now, it has a long way to go.

Fan Accounts About TVXQ @ MAMA

091123 Fan Accounts About TVXQ’s Appearance in MAMA

TVXQ’s appearance at the MAMA was surrounded by controversy but even so three members - Youngwoong Jaejoong, Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu made an appearance to greet the fans. According to fans who were there, the boys didn’t have an entourage of stylists, make-up, bodyguards like they normally do.. this time the cassiopeia present did not surround them either, instead they made way for them so that they could leave peacefully and quietly. Here a fan account of a cassiopeia that was present:

(Full Credits to jeeelim5 at Tohosomnia)

she was one of the Cassies who moved out of the way for JaeChunSu as they left.. and she overheard the staff talking.

Staff 1 - “Hey, did you see YoungWoong Jaejoong cry?”
Staff 2 - “Of course I did. I saw him crying silently and it was so sad that I felt so bad for him.”
Staff 1 - “They must be going through hell.. All three of them lost so much weight..”
Staff 2 - “Of course it’s hard for them… Micky Yoochun and Xiah Junsu were holding back tears..”
Staff 1 - “I feel so bad for them..”
Staff 2 - “Now that I think about it, it’s the first time I’ve seen YoungWoong Jaejoong cry. He used to hold back his tears even when they won the biggest awards. But to see him cry so hard that he didn’t care about what he looked like.. Phew.. I pity them..”
Staff 1 - “They’ll survive this well, they’re young.”


+
As the three were getting off the stage..
The fans started shouting “Miduhyo! Miduhyo!”
and YoungWoong Jaejoong apparently couldn’t hold it back anymore and burst into tears..
A Cassie overheard some of the staff talking
and they said that they had never seen YoungWoong Jaejoong cry so hard before….
He cried so hard that his screwed his face up and just let it out, not caring about what he looked like…
It hurts me to think of them in such pain…..
Also, in the parking lot, someone yelled “I believe in TVXQ!”
and the three stopped their car..

+
Yesterday, the three boys didn’t have bodyguards with them so the reporters were all over them so the Cassies acted as their bodyguards
And when they were leaving on the van that they had borrowed
A Cassie stuck a ‘Miduhyo’ sign on the car window
so the three stopped the car. So they could see it more, so more Cassies could stick these signs on their window.
And when the van was leaving, the Cassies acted as blockades so that the three could leave safely.
Our kind Cassies γ… γ… γ… γ… γ… γ… γ… γ…  yuaerebi

Oh dude, seriously, no wonder he was happy. He was buying food 8D.

According to the blog owner, Changmin was spotted in a grocery store buying tuna, crab, cucumber and other stuff.
He was wearing a baseball cap (duh we can see =x), orange jacket (duh we can see too XD) and jeans.

He was looking very happy and she (blog owner) mentioned the obvious: Looks like he must be eating a lot and barely goes out.
