[NEWS] BIG BANG does "Mezamashi" theme!



Korean group BIG BANG will be making an impact on morning television, as their new song "HANDS UP" has been chosen as the next theme song for Fuji TV's "Mezamashi Saturday" (6:00am).

This is the first time that BIG BANG has done a theme song for a Japanese news show. It is also the first time that any Korean artist has done one for a news show on Fuji TV.

BIG BANG made their debut in Japan just last June, but they have already become very popular in a short amount of time. In December, they earned the title of Best New Artist at the 51st Japan Record Awards.

"HANDS UP" is currently in production, though it is described as being an uptempo song. It is scheduled to be used on "Mezamashi Saturday" for six months, starting on April 3. The song does not yet have a release date.

Previous theme songs for "Mezamashi Saturday" have been by artists such as Thelma Aoyama, FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, and GReeeeN.

[News] 2000 Fans Showed Excitement Over U-Know Yunho’s Michael Jackson Memorial Concert


TVXQ’s U-Know Yunho had his appearance in Michael Jackson tribute concert ‘A Tribute’ band from Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT movie and U-Know Live’ held at Yongsan War Memorial Square today on the 27th.

The venue was filled with approximately 2000 people. Japanese, Chinese, and Korean fans were all anticipating the concert which was supposed to start at 6pm.

At 7:10 U-Know Yunho climbed up the stage with the track ‘Beat It’ and welcomed the whole 2000 fans.

The performance was highly influenced by one in Michael Jackson’s last movie ‘This Is It’, however U-Know Yunho showed up his own dance style while was dancing to Michael Jackson’s routines.

After finishing the first song, Yunho said, “To be the lead singer in Michael Jackson’s tribute concert, I feel delight to stand here.” also, “I hope the performance will chase away the coldness.”

Yunho got his stage again in the middle of the show, for ‘Smooth Criminal’. U-Know Yunho dazzled the audiences with his dance and definitely blew the cold away. He reached the peak of his performance during the song ‘Thriller’. The amusing ‘drill’ dance put on fire at the audiences, and they began to shout “U-KNOW YUNHO!”

U-Know Yunho then said, “Please keep showing a great interest in the future, thank you!”

However, due to the lack of preparation, there were some significant inconvenience missing in the whole concert. From the scheduled performance that was supposedly started at 6pm for approximately 2 hours, the actual concert only lasted for 1 hour 10 minutes and only started at 7:10 pm.

An official said, “The concert had been delayed due to mechanical inspection.” he asked for audiences’ patience. With most of the audiences were standing, they needed to wait for the stage to be prepared.

Above all, the R area that costs 110,000 won and S area that costs 99,000 won are considered expensive tickets. Whether this concert could be seen worth for all those costs, we should reconsider again.

With the involvement of Ken Stacey, Van Johnson, and Tony Terry as the concert’s singers, the concert had been expected to be a concert with 100 points of vocals, however seems that this Michael Jackson’s tribute concert had been overvalued. The performance skills were below expectations. It was Michael Jackson’s songs, but with feeling of limited power of the song itself.

Ken Stacey’s skill doesn’t reach U-Know Yunho well. In the end this memorial concert was said to be just U-Know Yunho 100,000 won concert.

U-Know Yunho is expected to attend Michael Jackson’s tribute concert at London’s Wembley Arena at June 8th (local time), and be the only Asian artist on the show.

[DKP Poll] Battle Of The Bangs Between Sungmin and Jang Geun Suk: Who can work it out better?

Found out something funny today, and i wouldn't be selfish enough not share to it here.
Well, I've been searching for photos a while ago and notice that Jang Geun Suk and Sungmin's hairstyle were somehow the same. Proof on what i am saying and to make it clearer?

Here is Jang Geun Suk's hairstyle when they were still filming You're Beautiful. His bangs covering his right eyes, looking so mysterious and remembering during the drama his face were so serious, wearing black coats and those black eyeliners but still so handsome and so cute. Okay sorry, daydreaming already(LOL). Were am i, oh right, here is the photo! XD

swo6_4.jpg picture by sukira18

And here is Super Junior Sungmin's hairstyle. So handsome isn't he? Somehow he looked so mature here but still charming. His hairstyle is not opted for a drama but judging from the photo it's a press conference (i guess) of their Super Show II Concert (see you on the 10th!) and i don't know where and when this is but still so cute!

sungm.jpg picture by sukira18

Well what can you say, their quite similar right?
Just gonna ask you guys then, who can pull those bangs better, is it Sungmin or Geun Suk?

[news] G-Dragon was seen bowling with 2PM’s Junsu and Nichkhun


#1:
I saw 2PM Junsu, Nichkhun, Big Bang Kwon Jiyong, Se7en, Park Hanbyul, Lee Hyuksu, and the 2NE1 coordi (yanggeng)! I had heard that they came here to hang out but seeing them in person was so amazing They were all so cool looking. Prince Nichkhun was extremely cute. Kwon Jiyong and Junsu were so hot… They were very friendly and close looking. They bowled for a really long time… Se7en and Park Hanbyul were just holding onto each other the whole time. They were all so close!

#2 2010.3.24
Today must be my lucky day or something! It was around 11 PM, I went down to Apkujeong’s bowling alley. I went there for the first time and saw 2PM Nichkhun with some girls bowling! About an hour later, there was a whole group formed! Big Bang’s G Dragon, 2PM Junsu, Se7en, Park Hanbyul, Lee Hyuksi, 2NE1’s coordi. I was so surprised, thought I was going to faint.
Nichkhun, Junsu, and G Dragon sat together and talked for about 10 minutes, then Junsu, GD, and Junsu’s friend, and 2NE1’s coordi formed a team and went to bowl~ Junsu got a strike and started screaming and hand shaking everyone, it was nice to watch. Most of their friends had a gyopo feel, they were mostly using English.
Se7en and Park Hanbyul, and Park Hanbyul’s friend just sat and talked the whole time… Lee Hyuksu was walking back and forth and mingling. It was cool!

#3
I went to a bowling alley in a designer club. I recognized Nichkhun right away because he had NICH KHUN written on the back of his shirt. He was bowling with some girls, and then 2PM Junsu and Big Bang Kwon Jiyong came. I think I saw Lee Hyuksu too. Park Hanbyul and Se7en came also. It was hard not to notice because they looked like they were having so much fun. ^^

12:53: SuJu has exited outside from gate B and boarded the car to go to lunch. But currently there are still many fans waiting to glimpse SuJu even though they went out a different gate.

12:30: Super Junior boarded the car to go eat lunch, probably a Daewoo*, then there was news that the group will check in at the hotel on Hoang Dieu street at 2pm.

11:18: News from the HHTO group** at the hotel: right now there are almost 100 fans waiting at Fraser Suites hotel. The atmosphere greeting SuJu is still relatively calm because the boys already appeared and were ready to perform at My Dinh. They (the fans) have waited there (at the hotel) since 9AM.

Every car which approaches the hotel will be mistaken by fans to be SuJu and (they) would yell loudly "Super Junior! Super Junior." These fans here have not yet known that SUJU are actually rehersing at My Dinh. The security at the hotel was increased.

10:58: Kyuhyun suddenly raised two hands to shake a fan's hand at My Dinh stadium. She* burst into tears after being lucky enough to shake hands with Kyuhyun and Ryeowook.

10:57: Super Junior is currently at My Dinh stadium to reherse.

10:45: News from the crew at Super Junior's hotel: right now no customers are allowed to sit in the hotel lobby. If anyone (even a customer who has already booked a room) by any chance happens to sit there, they will lose their room reservation immediately. Security has been tightened to the upmost to ensure the safety for Super Junior while they are in Vietnam.

10:37: According to the news from the crew at the hotel, security is very tight. No customers of any type are allowed to check in before noon. Everyone, even if already booked a room a few days before will have to check in after 2PM.

10:00: Unlike the predictions, Super Junior still exited the airport via the normal route. The members of Super Junior stepped out from the waiting room before the screams of almost 3000 fans.

9:45: Most of the fans waiting outside Noi Bai airport could be tricked, Super Junior has a large chance of exiting through a different route. Right now the atmosphere of anticipating SUJU at Noi Bai airport is very high. All the fans right now only hope to be able to see their idols in person.

9:31: There are about 10 Korean staff sticking close to SUPER JUNIOR. The fans were excited. The whole waiting area at Noi Bai airport is currently packed, fans all rushed to the area and constantly chanted "Super Junior! Super Junior!"

9:30: SUPER JUNIOR has arrived in Vietnam!!!

9:20: The other people arriving at the airport were all very surprised when they saw the long lines of fans in an orderly line.

9:08: Currently, Noi Bai airport has about 3000 fans waiting for Super Junior. Many fans from Sai Gon have been waiting at the airport from yesterday night. The security force was effective, so SUJU fans lined up orderly and civilized. They will no doubt follow Super Junior's car back to their hotel and then straight to My Dinh.
