Gushing over TohoTohoToho ^^
DBSK is Yunho, Changmin, Jaejoong, Yoochun, & Junsu <3
These boys have made me fall in love! <3
It seems really really late, but whatsoever, i don’t care! For me, this and another really-late-reactions just affirm that i’m not eassily fall in to a rush, it’s fine for me to not follow the trend, though so many times my reactions really too late- i start my celebration long after the real celebration has ended! XD
Like this one. Some friends also complained about this.
Me and my -late- on fire passion onto the boys made them wondering where did in the world actually this girl live??
How can she doesn’t know DBSK before?? XDDDD i want to state that i knew them before, since high school, i’m sure i don’t get it wrong. But at that time, i didn’t interested in them at all and it is make sense cause what have catch my attention lately are their later work, not their early. But, i still admit that there is a long delay. So, i’m not troubled by their complains, i can get what they might think clearly,
“They have been a legend, but this girl behave like they are just debuted their first album.” Haha, indeed, they ain’t wrong at all.
These boys carve up a deep impression on me. Seriously. Abundance work of them and everything related to them that i can found in the internet dominate my collection because seriously, i’m not only falling into their work but also falling into them as a person. In the name of simplicity, i would say that they are my new addiction.
In line with my getting-older-self, i want to be wiser as well *ehemm* In my opinion, it is childish when u can’t clearly define reasons that underlie your action. I’m not such a blinded fan, i have logic argument about this. So, by this case, i want to show the world that i’m not such a childish girl anymore! No, I’m not! (however, i think everybody still can feel the vibration of childish-ness around me, don’t you? XD)
Well, lets back to the main business, DBSK.
Chronologically, i enjoyed korean drama first -also has a really late addiction on it-, then was having a lot of fun with Family Outing (a successful Korean variety show). I saw Junsu and Yunho (2 members of DBSK) became the guest of this show but i had no special feeling toward them, not yet :P
Then, just right after it, coincidently i got copy of some DBSK’s MVs. One of them, Mirotic’s MV catched my attention, but honestly, at that moment it was just about the very good looking Changmin XP for crap’s sake, he is realllllly looking good in that MV! *stop screaming!* He is the one with the most neat outfit, i swear i didn’t pay attention to Jongie and Yunho -which showed a way too much for my taste, i’m a good girl! :D- It was the beginning, and the time i am completely mesmerized by them is come nearer. Let’s count...
Doushite Kimi Wo Suki Ni Natte Shimattandarou? live at Avex 20th anniversary, the video isn’t HQ but the sound still clear and i could heard their 5 voice blended harmoniously. I replayed the video so many times, and after XX times, yes, they have mesmerized me, unofficially. As usual, if i said that i like something, my curiosity will arise to the optimum degrees and make me a digger, i’ll dig everything about my idol in all possible way.
I’m serious with this, seems like obsession, this kind of digging-action-in-all-possible-way is also happen when i am falling in love with Bima Arya Sugiarto -yes, it is <3 *blushed*- and being hooked by actor Bae So Bin, i only will stop when there is nothing left to be dig XD -Are you afraid of me?- So, yup! I dig their another MVs and Live Performances and i happened to find Mirotic-Wrong Number Live at SBS Gayo 2008, and it is an epic! I have been mesmerized by them, now it is officially! This performance is awesome, REALLY AWESOME! The Songs are great, their vocals are great, the dances are perfect, and the elements of surprise inserted in it -ad libs, dance break, and the one makes me WOW : Yunho & Junsu’s onehandstand on stage!- are precious! By seeing this i was convinced that they are true singers, they do have qualities to be the star, and they deserve all praises addressed to them. So, if there is one ask me about the reason why i love them, i’ll definitely answer that mostly, their Live performances can make my jaw wide open.
The more i dig everything about them, the more i praise them, then, without doubt i claim myself as a part of Cassiopeia -DBSK’s fandom- ! Yeah, proud to be Cassie! But, just a day after it, I read news that They Suspend Their Group Activities in Japan and i was like WHUTTTT?????
Ok, it is another story and i won’t take this note into that direction. Seriously, it is dramatic one, the story begin around a lawsuit that arised by the three members of DBSK, slave contract, and then grew with some secret meetings, many kind of petitions, even in latest progress, mafia thingy is involved too (29/5) @_@. I bet this story would be a great movie script and a happy ending is necessary!!
Set back to talk more about DBSK.
You can find complete information about them by asking Mr. Google, they are POPULAR! No doubt.
Now, just let me talk about them in my personal point of view. Ough, where do i have to start? So many things about them keep running in my head, hope i can wrap them up and write them down systematically.
First, i want to stated my impression toward each member. Noticed, this is random, i just put what first come to my mind.
Yunho,
He is Leader sshi! -one distinctive point about korean boy/girlbands is they always has a leader in their group- He is my ideal type of man (yeah!). Hardworker, dependable, but can be dorky at the same time! *drooling :Q....* He handle low notes, rap parts, and also known as the leading dancer in DBSK.
Changmin,
He is effing funny & handsome devil! He is maknae -youngest member- in the group. Vocally, i agree with a Pop Review article that mention Changmin as the resident screamer in DBSK. Yes, he is! He handle the high notes really well.
Jaejoong,
He is gorgeous man -mentioned as the hottest man in Asia two years in a row- and he has voice that can make your mind blowing. He is Gorgeous! (just HAVE to emphasize it) He is handsome -zillions of fangirl definitely will kill me if i don’t admit it- even a way too handsome & too gorgeous for my taste, and sometimes he looks pretty beautiful -i keep wondering, it is will be hard for his girlfriend cause she has to be more beautiful, gorgeous, and attractive than this effing beautiful & gorgeous man-. But, still, he isn’t my favorite number one -mian Jongie...- though, i really love his voice, he is leading vocal in DBSK so he bring the melody part and he does it pretty pretty pretty well! He make all distinct voices of the other members blend harmoniusly, and his voice make a whole song regardless the genre, whatever it is, sounds like the most natural thing ever ( i quote this from an article and i nods like crazy when read it).
Yoochun,
He has such a charming dorkiness. In recorded version, his voice give uniqueness to DBSK. I dont have any intention to neglect his talent, but my impression toward him mostly molded by his personal stuffs such as Yoosu’s thingies XD and it is kinda rated, so i have to pass! XD
Junsu,
He has multipolar personality and ultra passion that made him adorable. He is my bias! Yup! I admit that he isn’t the best good looking member, even if I have to rank them according to their appearances , he will be the last one -mian Su!-. The rank probably Yunho as the first (I acknowledge that manliness is main point for me. Huh, Who’s care?? :P) followed by Changmin, Jaejoong, Yoochun, and the last Cuttie Junchan. But, however, he attract me in so many another ways. For me, his singing and dancing is the best among the five. He has the best vocal technique in the group and also wellknown as Asia’s number one vocalist. Besides that, he is also a hardworker and his passions toward everything he does just made him glaring. As a person, he show himself as a family-man and the most attractive point for me is he is NAIVE (ough! Too long way to go if i have to explain this, so just believe me! XD). He is not my ideal man -i consistent to say that Yunho is-, but i praise him as a great artiste. *clap.clap.clap*
Next, How about their works??
Hmm, i’m not a musics critic and i have no idea about vocal techniques or anything related to it. I’m only a music lover, i enjoy and appraise music in my own way. I try to be objective but i can’t help my subjectivity as well. So, maybe my next review is a bit trashy, however, no one is necessary read this too. So just let me continue my gush, i definitely will stop when i am getting bored XD *the undeniable nature of me*
DBSK debuted in early 2004 and have released 4 albums in korea and also 4 albums in Japan. But actually i don’t follow their whole discography, i am enjoying their latest work mostly. The said work is Mirotic, their 4th album in Korea, and The Secret Code, their 4th album in Japan. Honestly, for me, DBSK’s song ain’t too impressive. There are gazillions others musicians that have great songs, for me, I love James Morisson’s songs in the first place. His songs never make me bored, it can comfort me and stimulates so many kind of feelings, it is simply moving and I adore that kind of song. DBSK’s songs are decent but have nothing in common with James Morisson’s songs that are my favorite. Many of their songs are great but it is not enough to make them the remarkable one. So, if i have gauge them only by their songs, i wouldn’t fall in to my feet before them like i do now. Well, i’l try to review their two latest album. Mirotic as i’ve said before is their 4th album in Korea. A song under tittle Mirotic also the first single of this album, the song has up beat tempo, catchy and it make me addict -though i’m not sure weather the song or the the MV that make me so XD-. The 2nd single is Wrong Number, the 3rd is Picture of you (Neul..baraboda), for these three single and almost for the rest of this album, i’ll just say that they are ear-catching, i enjoy it but not too special for me. But there is a song in this album that exceptionally great for me, it is You are My Melody -“mianhae...mianhae” part that is sang by Junsu is really something for me- . As a miserable amateur, technically, i can’t define why this songs sound great to me *Mianhae Yorobunnnnn XD*
I think The Secret Code Album is a way more impressive than Mirotic. Almost the half of the album is epic! Bolero, Wasurenaide, Doushite, Sennen Koiuta, 9095, and TAXI are ballad song, and believe me, even without understand the meanings, these song will make your mind blowing away. These songs nailed DBSK’s member voice in my head and make me craving for them, yes! It is really happened. Secret Game and Force are exceptionally unique, but for crap’s sake, these two songs are really familiar in my ears. Secret game reminds me to James Bond and the melody of Force -BELIEVE ME!- is pretty similar to melody of one song from SAYKOJI!!! At least some part of it (kekekek, has no idea how to respond).
Ok, they don’t have the greatest songs in my opinion, but they have live performances that are Brilliant like BRILLIANT! Seriously, i’m feel lack of words to describe it and according to the nature of Live Performances it is better to watch it than to read my chaotic review XD as last addition, i just want to say that The Secret Code live tour concert at Tokyo Dome is their best concert so far (in my amateur opinion). The rearrangement of the songs, their BEYOND belief performances, and the hysterical cheerings from more than one hundred thousands fans are really jaw dropping! Believe Me!!!!!!!
Hahaha, i’ll stop now! I’ll let your imagination wandering by itself! Hoho *shout out Cassies’s motto* “Always Keep The Faith!!” ... “One World. One Red Ocean. One TVXQ!”
*Wink*Wink* Annyeong............. :D
