I'm suppose to write my thoughts on Heartstrings. It recently ended and it gave a bitter sweet feeling for me. I'm still trying to assimilate all that I am feeling for this drama. I was gearing up to writing my thoughts and feeling about Heartstrings but then yesterday something major happened. CN BLUE BACK ON STAGE!!!! I knew that I missed seeing the 4 boys back on stage but never would I have thought that I missed them enough that I was squealing like a school girl and my sister had to come into my room just to ask me too keep it down 3X. hehehe!!! Seeing the boys back on stage and performing together but made me so giddy and so happy. These boys really belong on the stage. No matter how improved Yong Hwa's acting is and how so good Min Hyuk is in acting they are so so so very much better and so amazing when they perform together on stage. Yong's voice was unbelievable last night. He was in his element. I love how the screams are so loud when they come out and perform. Japan really does love them so much and believe in the boys talent.
Here is an HD clip of the boys' performance in Niigata

When I first saws the boys on stage and the camera focused on each of the members I was shocked. When they focused on Jung Shin, I actually thought I was looking at a girl. I'm not really a fan of Jung Shin's new hair style. I liked his previous hairstyle it made him look manly. Now he just looks like a very pretty girl. kekeke As for Jong Hyun, I missed this boy. He looked so handsome last night and I know he missed performing too because he was just bouncing everywhere last night. As for my Min Hyuk, Min Hyuk looked tired. He was beating his drums and enjoying himself too but he looked tire. For Yong Hwa, I am loving his new look. He looked fresh and oh so young. Very charismatic and very handsome. He knows how to work the crowd and he is such a great performer. As what I have read in twitter LEE SHIN IS GONE IT IS NOW THE TIME FOR JUNG YONG HWA LEADER AND LEAD VOCALIST OF CN BLUE TO TAKE THE STAGE ONCE AGAIN. (I love Lee Shin but I am happy Jung Yong Hwa is back on the driver's seat) Last night was just PERFECT.
Before the performance of the boys in Niigata our leader YongHwa did a special stage with his partner in WGM SeoHyun from the girl group Girl's Generation. It's a vast improvement from when they first did a duet the previous year.

After this performance I read some comments in twitter and soompi and also in tumblr how others are complaining that the harmonization wasn't all that but for me as I have said this performance from the YongSeo couple was such a huge improvement from their previous performance in Korea last year. As for the harmonization....as a very biased CN Blue fan, I still haven't heard anyone harmonize so well and so flawlessly with Yong Hwa except for CN Blue's very own Jong Hyun. YongHwa and Jong Hyun's voice just meld so well and so seemlessly. Jong Hwa's harmonization is just PERFECT for me anyway. But for me I honestly enjoyed their special stage much better than last year so you won't hear any complaint from me.
Note:
I am so happy that the boys are being given so many live performances in Japan. According to @saturnkr the 2000 tickets for Mezamashi show in Japan was sold out within 5 mins. The boys will be performing in that on the 22nd of August. And again they have 2 more live shows in Japan. It seems the formal advancement of the boys in Japan is beginning. And they aren't going the route of Korean idol groups it seems and just guesting in popular shows but also tackling the small shows but with real Japanese bands in the shows. In the other shows that they will be participating it seems like they are the only Korean band and the rest are Japanese artists. I hope and pray that they will rock those stages they way they did in Niigata last night.
