End of vcr, screens parted to show a full band on a raised stage.. YES!!! LIVE BAND!!!! So happy our Jaejoong is not using a minus one for this concert.
Jaejoong walked out in the nosebleed inducing sheer black top, and jeans of the brotherhood of torn pants. More eye make up to evoke the rock persona.. good boy rock not bad boy rock..
Show started immediately with (Song 1) One Kiss. Crowd screaming non stop, but they quieted down when he started singing.. such a cooperative crowd.. He put in all his emotions, and his neck veins were very visible on the screens on either side of the stage.. I think you can see them from the fan cams too.
Born free, sadly, but one kiss one heart
With a slowed breath, we share one kiss
I feel it with my eyes closed in this complicated feeling
Oh I’ll try to show you
A free world
Why didn’t come my way?
Isn’t it too late?
Inside my silence, my away
At the narrowed crossroads, you put wings on me
You showed me the way to go to heaven
Because I was born as me, I couldn’t know
About this common kiss and this rough heart
My dear, you taught me the exit to the hidden memories
I’m feeling oh my way?
Isn’t it too late?
At the narrowed crossroads, you put wings on me
Heaven shines on you, shines on you
I’m feeling, one kiss, one heart
I’m feeling, one kiss, one heart

I keep saying that the crowd is good but don’t underestimate how different the concert experience can be if the crowd is rowdy.. a little bit of a sing-along during chorus. Delivery of the song is nearly identical to the album. Jaejoong’s singing is really stable. Again with the bulging neck porn
I was not impressed by this song at all when I heard it in the Jackal movie, but I must say that it exceeded our expectations.
the sheer top in question.. i like Jaejoong's stylist
The ring I prepared for you lost its pair
It is only left on my finger, and so sorrow cries
Wish it rains so it can hide my tears
Cry, cry, cry again
I feel that the sad song flowing in my ears
might stop my heart that sank
The soul of love that isn’t leaving captures me again
Cry, cry, cry again
Love love, the love that abandoned me
Love love, I live in memories and reminiscence
You are already my soul
How to live, without you
Even the cup of coffee that I unconsciously ordered for you is cold
like the you who cooled off unlike my heart
Trying to fix the puzzle of love that already went criss-cross
Cry, cry, cry again
I love you I love you
also the love that abandoned me
I love you I love you
although I live in memories and reminiscence
You are already my soul
How to live, without you
Oh you are my love, where are you
Oh you are my love forever

http://www.kpoplyrics.net/jaejoong-healing-for-myself-lyrics-english-romanized.html#ixzz2LPaAbTRl Jaejoong talk - HI, I’M ROCKER KIM JAE JOONG.. TO SAY THIS FROM MY MOUTH IS QUITE EMBARRASING… random Thai greeting…. I HOPE THAT EVERYONE ENJOYS THIS AS I’VE PREPARED A LOT FOR THIS…. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT THE LANGUAGE BARRIER BUT WE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH OUR HEARTS. ROCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVOURITE GENRE SINCE I WAS YOUNG. You’ve all voted for the songs I want to sing from facebook…Now I will sing some songs from my sunbae singers.. (erm, I hope I got the translation correct here).. the next song is Sarang Haejima (I think it’s translated into I love you But).
From here on, everything is scripted and they had Thai subtitles on screen for the Thai fans.
(Song 3 - Sarang Haejiman - Though I love you) A very light, nearly acoustic delivery. Emotional with light growls, so sexy…… Apparently he had tears in his eyes after this song.
During this song he turned around and all the fans were screaming because they could see his tattoos through the sheer shirt, but I missed it coz I was checking if my recording was going well.. that’s why you will hear me say “Turn around turn around” at this song.
The song was originally performed by Kim Kwang Seok (Deceased) and was the song selected on facebook by the fans. I recall checking the song out when the song was announced, but I thought that the song was pretty standard fare.. nice, but nothing special. I did like Jaejoong’s rendition though, and I checked out the lyrics, very simple but emotional .
English lyrics translated by canisarangyou
Yesterday rain fell from morning til night
Descending in thick cloud through the dust
Your delicate voice that filled my ears
Vanished into the rain
Sometimes I will shed tears longing for you
Sometimes my heart will twinge* with loneliness
Though I loved you Though I loved you
I was just only able to look at you from afar
Unable to come close
Though I wanted to remain close by your side
I had no choice but to leave
Though I loved you
Sometimes I will shed tears longing for you
Sometimes my heart will twinge with loneliness
Though I loved you Though I loved you
I was just only able to look at you from afar
Unable to come close
Though I wanted to remain close by your side
I had no choice but to leave
Though I loved you
Though I loved you

The gasp when he said he’s singing Neorul Wihae was me.. When the opening piano strains were played, I squealed and slumped down on Phinea2009’s shoulders, and turned to my left and excitedly told the fans This is my favourite song!!! I could hear my brother in law behind me, asking confusedly what’s happening to me.. Not too much to say that his delivery was perfect, more than perfect, better than Tokyo Dome, dare I say, better than the Korean concert version.. I really think so! I felt that the Bangkok rendition is more raw, more growly, more sexy..
Neoreul Wihae was originally by Im Jae Bum and was covered by Jaejoong, Hwanhee (from Fly to the sky), Lee Ha Yi during the Kpop Star audition, MBLAQ’s Go and Se7en. I maybe biased, but out of all the covers, Jaejooong’s is the best (I think it’s either this song, or Seoshi that the original singer acknowledged that Jaejoong’s delivery was the best). Im Jae Bum has an acoustic version which is simply delicious. He also sang it on I’m a Singer, and by this time I suppose his age and experience made the performance very emotional, it’s really something else and will knock your socks off.
Translated lyrics (credit:lovetohateme@wp)
Maybe we are people
Tangled in a complicated relationship
Everyday I am debted to you
Debts that are too much for me to pay back
Sometimes like a couple, sometimes like strangers
Can we keep living on like that
Despite countless mistakes and separations
You are still there
I know that you are the only person
Who can help me live properly in this world
I, in order to live without regrets,
Should keep you by my side
My rough mind and unstable expressions
And you watching it
That is a love like a war
Because I’m dangerous, because I love you
I will leave from you
I will leave for you

http://mydearkorea.blogspot.com/2012/06/korean-music-yim-jaebums-for-you-its.html (Song 5 - The you I can’t let go - originally by Park Hyo Shin) Wow the songs are getting more and more emotional, his voice is breaking a little.
Park Hyo Shin has a deep, rounded husky voice, and his status as one of the best vocalists around belies his age (only 31!). I personally am rather ambivalent about his voice, but I did really enjoy his duet with Kwon In Ha for - Kgoutmanee nae sesang(It’s only my world) - you can watch it here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KSrJkHWBAI Yes, our Jae also sang this song, and sang it very well!.
Park Hyo Shin also covered Scars Deeper than Love with Lena Park in 2002, who sang the original with Im Jae Bum. Scars Deeper than love is my absolute favourite song by Im Jae Bum.. please go listen at
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix15GUysmpE Park Hyo Shin and Lena Park’s version :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkbrlRwCqnA Again, Jaejoong sang this song with Lena Park as well as with Jessica and Sunny from SNSD.. is there anything our boy can’t sing???
His version with Lena Park is the best - not good video but clear audio
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j26F89cF5oI Sorry.. I was distracted from talking about The you I can’t let go.. so here are the lyrics

http://aheeyah.com/lyrics/parkhyoshin/parkhyoshin_4_tran.htmEven when my eyes were open, I couldnt see
Fear covered my two eyes
For what I lived, where I went,
I know those things now
That it was you
Cant I do anything but hate?
I want to hold onto you who is leaving so much
My life without you has no light
Dont you know that I still love you?
I miss you, tears keep falling down my face
I should've done better, I have nothing but regrets
I've come to far to turn back now
Come back, I am right here
Move past all the sadness
Love came a footstep too late to me
Why does all separations come so quickly?
Did you leave so that I could know these things?
I still.. I still
I still love you
(Song 6 - Na Hang Sang Geu Dae Reul - I always miss you) Next up is the sexiest song in the entire show….this was the song that I didn’t know the title to, the bluesy one and I did some research after the concert.. He made quite a production of it, wearing shades and singing/moving to his microphone with feathers… if you hear “sexy bastard sexy bastard”, that’s Phinea2009. The part where you hear the fans screaming is when he DANCED with the mic stand omg.. @tiamo_hy has a drool inducing fan cam of this.
the stage background
The original was sung by Lee Sun Hee, a veteran singer who debuted in 1984, and she was also the singer of the Fox Rain, Ost for My Girlfriend is a Gumiho.
Lee Sun Hee’s version of Na Hang Sang Geu Dae Reul is very light and a very easy listen. You can view it here
http://www.kjpop.net/new/lyrics/new_index.php?pg=lyrics&no=12264 I cannot find translated lyrics, but from our trusty google translate, the lyrics more or less tell this story:
I always miss you even though we are not close, just like faded old photos, I always listen out for news of you, and cry a river of tears, baby come back to me. Basically just asking the lover to go back in every segment of the song…there’s something about fire (love like fire? Fiery love?)
Here’s the lyrics in hangul for those who can read:
나항상 그대를 그리워 하는데
맘처럼 가까울 수 없어
오늘도 빛바랜 낡은 사진속에
그대 모습 그리워 하네
나항상 그대를 보고파 하는데
그대는 어디로 떠났나
다정한 그 모습 눈물로 여울져
그대여 내게 돌아와요
돌아와 그대 내게 돌아와 나 온통 그대 생각뿐이야
불같은 나의 사랑 피할 순없어
그대여 내게 음~ 돌아와요
나항상 그대를 그리워 하는데
그대는 어디로 떠났나
다정한 그 모습 눈물로 여울져
그대여 내게 돌아와요
돌아와 그대 내게 돌아와 나 온통 그대 생각뿐이야
불같은 나의 사랑 피할 순없어
그대여 내게 음~ 돌아와요
나항상 그대를 그리워 하는데
그대는 어디로 떠났나
다정한 그 모습 눈물로 여울져
그대여 내게 돌아와요
돌아와 그대
내게 돌아와 나 온통 그대 생각뿐이야
불같은 나의 사랑 피할 순 없어
그대여 내게
돌아와 그대 내게 돌아와 나 온통 그대 생각뿐이야
불같은 나의 사랑 피할 수 없어
그대여 내게 음~ 돌아와요
(Song 7) - I will protect you - Protect the boss ost
This was the fan project song - on our side, we were given banners with a large red heart and on the other side, the banner was of a picture of a rose, and on the back of both banners were the words “Because I love you”. We were supposed to raise the picture part at the chorus, but some fans were fumbling so Jaejoong could see the banners from the beginning. At the end of the song, we turned the page around so that he could see the words, a simple but very nice project because the printing was done very well - the red hearts were evenly coloured, must be offset printing.
The fan project.. you can see that the back of the hall had raised platforms.. well done 411!
As expected, Jaejoong asked us sing along with him.. no worries if you do not remember the lyrics - the romanized lyrics were on the screen for us to follow.. We did the first part without music accompaniment.
Jaejoong: ARE YOU SURE WE ARE IN THAILAND??
Second part, he asked us to sing along to the piano - this portion, he sang parts of it with us because the singing was not so even. Jaejoong : NEXT TIME PLEASE REMEMBER THE LYRICS!
English lyrics translated by withJYJ.wordpress.com
I can’t look at you even when I have my eyes open
I can’t find your heart which has become cloudy amongst the worn out memories
I can’t do more because I’m tied and cried too much
No matter how much I think, I think I’ll be okay when if I see you
I want to protect you… even your bad habits make me smile when I’m tired
Although it may be difficult, I’m going to say that I love you until the day you first come into my arms
I can’t smile, I can’t remember even when I smile
today also feels like it may disappear like a dream when I open my eyes
Even when I see you, I feel like you aren’t with me
I guess I’m still awkward at expressing my feelings… to love you
I want to protect you… even your bad habits make me smile when I’m tired
Although it may be difficult, I’m going to say that I love you until the day you first come into my arms
Will you become happy when you leave me to find a different warmth?
Even so I can’t let you go baby
It’s going to hurt even more than dying
I love you.. more than anyone… no, I’m next to you
I’m holding your hand
I can’t give you to anyone else’s arms
my heart cannot let you go…why
