U-Know Yunho becomes men’s magazine ‘men’s uno’ cover for August issue.
Just kinda browsing around melon awards website, and somehow I got shocked to see their top 10 winners list O.O
as you can see through this vote in top 10 artists selection, TVXQ is leading while SS501 is following behind. However, none of the top two got chosen in the final top 10 artists that will be candidates of artists of the year (see the screen cap after the cut)??
The first 2009 Melon Music Awards will be held in Seoul Olympic Stadium on December 16th, the award is rumored to be one of the biggest event at the end of the year
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 ^^
日テレ = NTV (Best Hits Music Festival, etc.)
TBS (Japan Record Award, Utaban, etc.
テレビ朝日 = 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:
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
Charm's note: THIS is AMAZING. Not only we, DBSKnights were mentioned but also Bigeasts is taking a step forward to voice their opinion!
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:
Avex Entertainment Co.
Avex Building 6F,
Attention: Tohoshinki
3-1-30, Minami Aoyama,
Minato-ku, Tokyo,
Japan, 107-0062
It's true that an international postcard mailed today might not reach
Japan by November 30th. MAIL IT ANYWAY. Always keep the faith!
Yesterday, SM Entertainment resumed uploading all of TVXQ's Korean music videos beginning with The way U are. With the 19 new videos, this brings the total number to 22 TVXQ music videos on SME's official channel.

(Do you spot Bigbang's name on the screen?)
TVXQ In: Bigbang Out:
Around 03:02, they announce the name of TVXQ (東方神起) as a chosen performer of Kohaku 2009,
but interestingly that Mezamashi TV station had already placed a flower on TVXQ's name.
So, Mezamashi TV program must have known TVXQ's appearance at kohaku 2009.^^
Bigbang had mentioned many times in their interviews in Japan that
their wish in Japan is to perform at Kohaku this year.
However, they did not make it this year.
(In the Mezamashi TV we can spot Bigbang's name on the list.
And they had a special "watch" mark in front of their name.)
Everyone knows that Bigbang is a talented performer.
It is just being selected to perform at Kohaku is something very special in Japan.
Like Jero who made it to perform at Kohaku for the first time with TVXQ last year
had openly shared his dream in his life was to perform at Kohaku and he cried at Kohaku.
Jero wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jero
So, for the Japanese TV stations and the news paper companies to predict TVXQ's Kohaku
appearance undoubtedly is indeed an amazing news itself. ^^
Let us look forward to TVXQ's performances to come one after another in Japan
starting this coming Wednesday! Yeah!! ^^
According to the newspaper above which was posted in 2ch today (a very popular Japanese community forum) and was also pointed by many netizens in poplez, Tohoshinki is confirmed that they will attend 2009 NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen!
This is their 3rd confirmed attendance for Japanese year-end events after Nihon TV “Best Hits Song Festival 2009″ and Fuji TV’s “FNS MUsic Festival.
