The MV I most wanna see...

The very first TVXQ song I would like to see an MV of in the coming Year 2007 is...

"Hey! Girl" from the third Korean album "O"...

I've even thought of the concept of the MV when I was listening to it one lazy evening...

But before I describe how I visualised the ...

Here are the translated lyrics...

Hey! Girl
~~~~~~~~~

[Micky] Sexy lover.. Can't take my eyes off you whenever I'm next to you
No reason, just that happy smile.. Yeah
[Hero] (Such beauty that cannot be compared)
[U-No] Because you're so perfect from the tip of your head all the way to your toes and,
([Xiah] I love you)
You have taken away all of my soul

*[All] Hey, girl When you're by my side I am complete as a man
You can have the energy, the world in front of me is fair
Hey, girl (Hey, girl) You can plant the last of our love
Never change now
With me, Eternally..

[Max] The words I want to tell you, a man's heart has only one love
[U-No] (You can't erase the remnants)
[Xiah] Come inside my heart, you have become every part of me
[Micky] (Even my eyes, my steps)
[Xiah] Because I only look at you Hey, girl

*[All] Hey, girl When you're by my side I am complete as a man
You can have the energy, the world in front of me is fair
Hey, girl (Hey, girl) You can plant the last of our love
Never change now
With me, Eternally..

[Xiah] The people who say there is no such thing as an everlasting love
Those that don't even have that kind of confidence
[Hero] In one's life, If true love comes, when that time comes I will know Girl
[Max] The one that can take Part of my heart

[All] Hey, girl I cannot tell where the end of your universe comes
Your eyes that are like the deep ocean along with a small cosmos,
Hey, girl (Hey, girl) There is nothing to fear when you're by my side
There is nothingI need anymore
My dear..

*[All] Hey, girl When you're by my side I am complete as a man
You can have the energy, the world in front of me is fair
Hey, girl (Hey, girl) You can plant the last of our love
Never change now
With me, Eternally..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Basically I see the MV set in a jazz lounge/pub where the guys are decked in dressy black suits, and performing on stage as jazz singers &/or band members...
The plot goes something like this...
There is a resident female singer at the lounge/club who has a terrible boyfriend, and he ditches her one day for another, causing her immense pain and sorrow...
One of the guys will have the honour of being the knight in shining amour, who holds a secret crush for her, to save this damsel in distress...
I think this guy should be U-Know cos he looks most like the part...
Unable to show his love for her openly before (due to the boyfriend), he decides to perform a song for her, and to declare his true feelings for her after the song...
The MV intercuts to shots of the guys performing the song on stage...
Customers (in pairs) watch the performance with a dreamy, romantic ambience...
The female singer steps out to get ready for her song, and catches bits of the performance...
-Know notices her and walks towards her to lead her out onto the stage...
At centerstage, he declares his love for her...
Crowd and band members cheer him on...
She accepts him...
And they kiss...
Fade to black...
~THE END ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually for the last part, as many fans might kick up a HUGE fuss if it DID happen...

I think I shall change it to a hug instead of a kiss...

Seriously...

I think this song beckons for a good MV...

So...

SM Entertainment...

Please make a MV for "Hey! Girl"!!!

"want to know more abt hero"

"want to know more abt hero" with chinese subs Part1


"want to know more abt hero" with chinese subs Part2



Seriously the part when he said that people will most likely find him cold and not easy to communicate with on first look...

And the reason that some fans actually like him is because they can see the deeper side of him...

The more human side...

The fact is that when a guy with a cold or seemingly cold exterior displays affection and emotion, it's so much stronger and impactful...

I can't agree more with what he said...

And I can't believe what I heard/ read rather cos I don't understand Korean...

He absolutely put into words what I had in my mind when I first saw him...

I do find his exterior cold compared to the rest of the group members (cos they are always chatty n smiling, whilst he's quietly sitting in the middle), but there is just this mystical force that is pulling me more towards Jaejoong, instead of Junsoo whom I noticed first on TV...

This sparked off a series of rampid online searches for videos and information on TVXQ, and more specifically on Jaejoong...

And the result of the rampid search is that I find myself more and more drawn to this young guy, who speaks like a matured man on camera (if he speaks), but yet behaves like a child off camera...

I don't know if this holds true for all girls, but unlike what happened in Jaejoong & Yoochun's battle for the perfect girl in the variety drama show I saw recently on Youtube, I think girls are more likely drawn to the bad boy/ cool guy (I shall call him cool guy instead, cos I think he's more cool than bad) (Jaejoong) more than the romantic guy (Yoochun)...

It's just so much stronger and impactful, like what Jaejoong said, when a cool guy with a cold or seemingly cold exterior displays affection and emotion...

Especially when THAT strong and impactful affection and emotion...

Is for YOU....

This is probably why he is voted 41st in Korea M.Net's 100 Top Most Cute Guys...


While Changmin (Max) was voted 28th...


And Junsoo (Xiah) was voted 4th!!!



But then since a fan said that 1st is a 10 year-old actor...

so I guess it's not too bad, cos it's REALLY based on CUTENESS... as in child-like cute...

so Jaejoong don't have to be sad or disappointed...

cos you have matured into a man already, and you can save your child-like cuteness for us!!!

the fans that can see your inner beauty and love you for you!!!

muacks!!!

cheerio,
Same Old Fanatic...
PS: sorry for releasing my mass hysteria onto my blog again... it's been a looooong time....

When do you know someone can really sing?

When do you know someone can really sing?

When the person sings, you really want to listen with 100% attention...

When the person sings, you really feel your heart beat faster...

When the person sings, you really "see" the song in moving visuals in your mind...

When the person sings, you really feel the song running through you...

When the person sings, you really feel your heart skip a beat...

When the person sings, you really are totally mesmerized by what you hear...



So with ALL these points in mind...

This is what I mean by someone who can sing, especially since it's acappella...




Cheerio,
Same Old Fanatic...

PS: Can someone tell me if TVXQ's Xmas album is out here yet??? I need my guardian angel beside me when Xmas comes this year!!!When do you know someone can really sing?

What's with people nowadays??!!!

Below is the shocking article that made me very very very very angry...

------------------------------------------------------------

這是一個歌迷的朋友寫的
____________

我聽了很多謠言,你不一定明白,但這是一個令人悲傷的情景
我是一個“東方神起”的歌迷
我更加是“Xiah”一個人的歌迷
不過今天我改變了我的想法
從此以後,我會自信地說我是“東方神起”的歌迷
我今天聽到了很多驚人的說話
我住在DaeGu 你記得在12號有一個東方神起的簽名會嗎?
我聽到很多不好的說話,甚至是從陌生人那裏聽來的也有關於在簽名會上發生的事情
你知道那個最年輕的“Choi Kang Chang Min”嗎?
那裏沒有什麼人給ChoiKang簽名
即是是一個正在讓ChoiKang簽名的歌迷也不能相信在眼前發生的事
有些歌迷被工作人員強迫去拿ChoiKang的簽名
那些歌迷對著ChoiKang破口大瘗
這真是很悲傷的情景...她們是真正的歌迷嗎?
但是ChoiKang,像個傻瓜,只會說“謝謝你們的到來”
他真的太善良了,太善良了...
有一個人去拿ChoiKang的簽名
因為根本沒有去排隊,ChoiKang問她叫什麼名字
然後那歌迷就哭了,邊流淚邊說“對不起”
但是ChoiKang說“你為什麼要說對不起呢?不要哭啊..." 然後他們握了手
當歌迷要離開時 ChoiKang很小聲地說“謝謝”
他沒辦法表現出他的感情,但是他對歌迷的感情是那麼的美好,他就是太善良了...

_________

這是那位歌迷的文章
___________

我心急地排著隊 Changmin和Jaejoong正在玩
Changmin在轉著筆 Jaejoong沒有事可做,所以就站著不動
當我差不多到前面時 根本就沒有歌迷,空空的讓我感到尷尬
我接近Changmin 他問我叫什麼名字
我說xx
Changmin笑得很燦爛
突然我就脫口而出“對不起,我感到很對不起...”
但是Changmin沒有哭,也沒有感到不開心
他說“為什麼你要說對不起?不要哭啊...”
我沒辦法停止哭泣...
我討厭那些在等待Micky和Xiah簽名的歌迷
他們只是Micky跟Xiah的歌迷
我想罵她們,但是我不能在Changmin面前這樣做
我得到他的簽名後,我要求跟他握手
他握住我的手
我的眼淚又再次湧出眼眶
當我準備要離開時 Changmin很小聲地說“謝謝”
當我聽到他的話時,我感到很悲傷,很悲傷
我跑出去然後哭了,真的太悲哀了,沒有歌迷排隊給Changmin簽名
但是善良的Changmin沒有不開心,他只是燦爛地微笑著
只喜歡某個成員的歌迷,你們有什麼了不起,竟然做出這麼過份的事情
我從朋友那裏聽來的 在Micky與Xiah的隊,他們有那麼多歌迷
工作人員要某些歌迷到Changmin跟Jaejoong的隊去
但是她們不要還罵人
我們都是DaeGu人,我感到很丟臉
這真是太殘酷了
現在是,Micky的歌迷比Changmin多很多
但是他們都是東方神起的成員,為什麼會變成這樣?
在簽名會上,Micky與Xiah有那麼多歌迷
所以工作人員強迫她們到Changmin與Jaejoong的隊去
有個人去到Jaejoong的隊
Jaejoong問“你的名字是?”
那個人說“你不需要寫我的名字”
真讓人生氣
只喜歡某個成員的歌迷 為什麼你要這樣做?
到底你是不是喜歡東方神起?
你值得被稱為歌迷嗎?
東方神起在廣播上討論成員的人氣時,Changmin總是說他不是那麼受歡迎
我們應該要喜歡東方神起的所有成員!
他們都是東方神起啊!
我討厭只喜歡個人的歌迷...
=====================================

這篇文章並不是由某個歌迷寫的,而是某歌迷的朋友,這位朋友是陪著歌迷去一或者兩天前的dae gu簽名會
========================================

我是跟著朋友去到這個簽名會的,有7個朋友一齊去,只有3個被選中,所以我就進去了
但是這是真的,沒被選中的都是Jaejoong的歌迷
如果你看到她們的紙牌,她們都是Jaejoong的歌迷
不管怎樣,我進去,我並不是神起的歌迷,但是我有點喜歡Jaejoong 所以我就去排隊拿他的簽名 有人正想去Micky的隊,但是Jaejoong的隊沒有人,所以工作人員就推她到Jaejoong的隊
然後就在Jaejoong面前,她說“啊,我根本就不喜歡Youngwoong Jaejoong”
Jaejoong有點警覺,但是他只是微笑
神起其他成員都看著Jaejoong
我太吃驚我只能盯著那位歌迷,她說得很大聲
然後有另一位歌迷,她應該是Xiah的歌迷
Jaejoong的隊又是空無一人,工作人員推她到Jaejoong的隊去
她就轉頭對著她朋友說“我已經有Jaejoong的簽名了,這真的很煩人,我要拿Xiah的簽名” Jaejoong依然微笑著,但是在門外沒被選中的歌迷卻哭得很慘
一會兒後,Jaejoong對著Micky笑得很勉強, 老實說,我看到他的表情覺得很難過
因為沒有歌迷要拿他的簽名,他就在那裏練習舞步
另外一個工作人員要某位歌迷去拿Jaejoong得簽名,她說“不~~”
一開始Jaejoong還是笑著的,但是越來越多歌迷說這些話,到最後Jaejoong低下頭不再抬起來
然後有一個歌迷尖叫“我不要去Youngwoong Jaejoong那裏~~啊~~不要~~放開我”
Jaejoong聽到了,他把頭埋在雙手裏...
真的,Micky跟Xiah有很多很多歌迷等著拿簽名,Changmin有4個吧,而Jaejoong是零
我不算是歌迷,但是我感到很悲哀
====================================

這是一個Changmin的歌迷寫的

真的沒有任何人去拿Jaejoong跟Changmin的簽名,好像是所有他們的歌迷決定那天不去參加簽名會,真的很糟糕,我真的不知道該怎麼做,最後我哭了,我邊哭邊走向Changmin 我不想讓他知道我哭,但是他發現了,他說“不要哭...”但是我停不下來,我跟他道歉
因為我哭了,因為那些只喜歡某個成員的歌迷...
Changmin看著我,笑著說“你不需要感到抱歉啊”
他幫我簽了海報後,我很小聲地說“我愛你”然後他回答“謝謝...你這麼愛我們”
當我要離開時,他說的話讓我很難過...
他看著Xiah,說“我想她是你的歌迷吧...”
是那些只喜歡某個成員的歌迷讓他這麼想的,這是為什麼每次我給Changmin一罐飲料, 他遞給Xiah,每次我給他什麼,他想也不想就給了Xiah
當然很多歌迷都無法控制她們對偶像的喜好,但是也不能不顧其他神起成員的想法啊...
醒醒吧...


Reading this really makes my heart ache...

What happened to all the people nowadays???

Don't they have basic respect for others' feelings?

I remember that in the past when we were idol-chasing, such things never happened...

Yes we ALL have our faves...

And my fave is Jaejoong followed by Junsoo... So I don't like what I've read above... The fans bullying Jaejoong and Changmin like that... It's inhumane... If I was there, I'll probably just stick around and chat with them to keep them occupied and make them feel wanted, not neglected like unwanted children... I'm sure the personnels won't mind...

But for those that we don't like or less prefer in the group, we would at least take ONE pic with them, and definitely get their autographs to complete the group...

Since when did liking a band and showing your support, become such a cruel and inconsiderate thing???

If I knew that such things will happen here, I'd rather they not come here in the first place...

Cos it'll only diminish their own self esteem, self worth and self confidence...

Furthermore, in the long run it'll hurt their band spirit...

They are ALL such brillant singers...

I don't think that should be taken away from them...

Jaejoong, Changmin and Yunho, you are ALL fantastic singers, performers and dancers... So don't let the childish behavior of some get to you...

So pls fans, before you get overwhelmed by your own adoration for your fave member of the band, do spare a thought for those who are less favoured in the band, and show your support for them the same way you would for the one you love the most...

Cos he would have wanted you to do it that way too...

SO PEOPLE, PLEASE WAKE UP!!!
