TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki is in the latest issue of "Duet Magazine." This is supposedly a big deal because the magazine had only put Johnny's Entertainment groups in the magazine, and having TVXQ in the issue will make it the first time a non Johnny's group is in the magazine.

Johnny's Entertainment is known for putting pressure and oppression on other companies but there's a feeling that they're making an exception for TVXQ. The reason being that TVXQ is huge in the asian market with the "World Record" fan club of over 800,000 registered fans (thats not counting the ones that AREN'T part of their fanclub,cuz I know that Hero Jaejoong, the center one has more than four million  fans) and Johnny's wanting to expand into these asian markets in the future. They want to have friendly relations because they don't want to be seen as rivals and it'll be better for them image wise with a friendly relationship.

TVXQ is doing big things in Japan at a very rapid pace, just a year ago they weren't allowed on certain Music Shows or Magazines (limited to Johnny's), but now they're breaking down all those barriers. It's good to see them grow and be more accepted in Japan. Thanks to BBang, tvxqlover, tinbum for the tips.

Ok, if you're thinking that [MR] stands for [Medical Room] such as [ER] stands for emergency room, you're utterly wrong my friend. [MR] really stands for Music Recorded, that is, the background music in the music videos or live performances. [MR] removed videos are videos of live performances that have the bakground music eliminated or decreased to a low volume. This maximizes the singers voice(s) and makes their voice the focus point. Singers that have reveived very positive feedback from these [MR] removed vids are: DBSK (or TVXQ), BoA, SS501 (the group that Kim Hyun joong, the guy that plays Rui in the korean version of HYD is in), and Big Bang. The groups that have received criticism though include: Wondergirls, and KARA.

"Hot idol group TVXQ has won a Gold Award at the 50th Japan Record Awards. Hailed as the most prestigious music award in Japan, the Japan Record Awards selected 12 artists for Gold Award this year. TVXQ got the nod for their 23rd single in Japan, “Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattan Darou? (Why Did I Fall in Love with You?)” Other artists honored include EXILE, C-ute, Kumi Koda, and w-inds...TVXQ will receive the award at the award ceremony, which will be broadcast live from Tokyo on December 30 by TBS. The five-member group will also be the first Korean idol band to be invited to the renowned NHK Red & White Songfest on December 31."

side note: AAAH! I am so proud of them!!! Lols! I'm so proud to be a (un-official)cassiopeian (for those of you who don't know, Cassiopeia is DBSK/TVXQ's official korean fanclub. Their fanclub in japan is called, "Big East")! DONG BANG SHIN KI FIGHTING! TOHOSHINKI GANBATTE!

It's been confirmed that Tohoshinki (DBSK) is invited to NHK's annual music show, Kohaku (on new yrs eve)!!!

a reminder of what "Kohaku" rly is:

 Kōhaku Uta Gassen more commonly known as simply Kōhaku, is an annual music show on the New Year's Eve produced by Japanese public broadcaster NHK and broadcast on both television and radio, nationally and internationally by NHK's networks and some overseas (mainly cable) broadcasters which bought the program... Literally "Red and White Song Battle," the program divides the most popular music artists of the year into competing teams of red and white. The "red" team or akagumi is composed of all female artists (or groups with female vocals), while the "white" team or shirogumi is all male (or groups with male vocals). The honor of performing on Kōhaku is strictly by invitation, so only the most successful J-POP artists and enka singers can perform. Even today, a performance on Kōhaku is said to be a big highlight in a singer's career because of the show's large reach.

With their 24th new single, 'Spell' 주문 from their new album "Mirotic" DBSK has topped the oricon charts once again!! Unlike the activities in korea, the boys did NOT do anything to promote this new single. DBSK will be at japan on oct 15-16 (either yesterday and today, or today and tomorrow, depending on which timezone popseoul was talking about.) But they will still be back in Korea just in time for their Mnet Countdown performance on the 16th. DBSK Hwaiting! Tohoshinki Ganbatte/Hwaiting!
