[Interview] TRANSLATION: DBSK PINKY 3月: Counselor's Office

This interview has the boys "seriously answering" lol ya right the troubles PINKY readers have written in about, in their "Counselor's Office".


Fan 1: I am also interested in the boy my best friend likes. We're not dating, but we've been meeting up in secret and I feel guilty about it.

YH:
Why Did I Fall In Love With You...........? (T/N: The title of their song, どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう 8D)

YC: Idiot~! Ahahaha!!!

JJ: *plainly* Men choose friendship over love!

YC: I'd give up on a girl if my best friend liked her, definitely.

JJ: I'd do something about it to make myself not fall in love with her. I'd look for all her bad points and give up.

PINKY: How about Junsu?

JJ: AS SOMEONE WHO'S HAD THE EXPERIENCE!!

All: *burst out laughing*

JS: If I fell in love with her it would be a showdown! I would fight in order to obtain love.

YC: But isn't love not something to do with who wins or who's in the wrong?

JJ: That's certainly true. For example, if I ended up falling in love with the girl Yoochun liked, I'd say, "Yoochun, I'm going to give up on her so you definitely have to give her happiness." And then, if Yoochun broke up with her......I'd date her *laughs*! I'd say, "I'll give you happiness in Yoochun's place."

CM: Huhhhh...*sighs* I've always thought this, but....if that person really was a best friend I was really close to, a BEST FRIEND (T/N: said in English), I would give up on her first.

JS: Changmin is really that type of guy!

PINKY: Everyone, have you had that kind of experience? Where you stole your friend's girlfriend or something...Ah, you're grinning!!

CM: Me?!?! No, not me! IT'S NOT ME!!

JS: No, there was, but he only realized after doing it...

JJ: WHY IS JUNSU ANSWERING!

CM: I've never told Junsu that......

All: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

CM: But he's right...

JS: I know just by looking at your eyes...

YC: There was, there was something like that! The girl I liked had a boyfriend at first. When she broke up with him and was feeling really depressed, I started dating her myself!

YH: As for me, a long time ago, two months after I broke up with my girlfriend, my best friend started going out with her...

(The five members simultaneously start talking about their own stories)

PINKY: Um~ our reader's problem...?

YH: I think it might be good for her to talk to her best friend honestly about what's been going on. And I think she should confess to that guy about her feelings. If you like him that much, you should say so, after all. If not...it would be better for you to give up on him soon.

YC: He may not be the guy of your destiny.

Fan 2: My boyfriend was devoted to me at first, but recently he's not been making any effort. How do I get him to go back to becoming the kind boyfriend he was when we first started dating?

JJ:
IMAGE CHANGE! Even if it's just the color of your hair it really changes a lot. And by doing so that really gets men interested.

CM: What if the girlfriend cheated on him?

All: OOOOOOOOOHH~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YC: WITH YOU?!

JS: It's about giving your boyfriend a shock.

JJ: If your boyfriend doesn't become kind to you even after you've gone that far, break up with him! It'd be good if by doing so, you became more and more beautiful.

JS: I understand this girl's feelings a little, but I think it's impossible for men to be able to perfectly satisfy women. I want her to understand that. I want all girls to understand that too, a little.

YH: If you keep on saying, "I want to see you, I want to see you," men come to feel like running away. It's a balance. When you're dating aren't there periods when you kind of want to be separated, when you want to come back together, all kinds? We give thoughts about us and our girlfriends serious consideration too. But men can't say these things.

YC: I understand that!

Sasaki Nozomi, representative of the PINKY models: All of you who have been living together for so long, what is the trick to living well with someone who is not part of your family?

JJ:
*points at a PINKY magazine* The same girl?! THE SAME GIRL?!?! (T/N: Rofl. Nozomi is reallyyy pretty. She's the girl on the right here)

JS: You have to start by understanding everything, the best points and the worst points, of the person you're staying with. If you have that, there'll be no secrets between the two of you, and it'll be easy for you to be together.

JJ: We're lucky. Whether it's the others' personalities or their emotions we understand them very well, and the fact that the five of us have lived together for seven years, to be honest I think that's a very difficult thing.

YC: But we each have our own private lives, don't we?

JJ: Stuff like, "You absolutely cannot touch this."

CM: Even if both parties don't say anything, that's something we understand.

JJ: On the contrary, right now, I think Tohoshinki would not be able to live separately. Everyone, you wouldn't be able to, would you??

All: *nod*

Fan 3: I am completely unable to do so-called domestic chores, cooking, or anything a girl should be able to. Do men dislike girls like me?

JJ:
You have to do them!

JS: It's okay if you aren't able to do them, but...

YH: It'd be a bigger plus if you did.

JJ: When you say you're "unable", do you mean you're not good at it? Or is it that you just don't do it?

JS: "I don't want to do housework!" That's no good.

JJ: Not good at all.

JS: If you're still not good at it, or haven't done it before, that's completely okay.

CM: Please do it *laughs*.

PINKY: What would you all say to your girlfriends if they didn't do the housework?

JJ: "Do a little hard work for me", or "Give it a shot". If I say that and she still doesn't fix herself, it'd be the worst, I might even consider breaking up with her...

YH: I'd say, "I wanna eat this~", or something with that kind of mood. "I really love motsunabe~♡" or something. (T/N: Motsunabe is hot pot with offal) This is just an example! I wouldn't be able to say it firsthand.

YC: Anyway I think when you fall in love with someone, you naturally start to cook.

YH: If you meet someone you really love, your heart is moved.

Fan 4: I don't have a good relationship with my parents. When I speak to them we do nothing but fight and I just can't be obedient with them.

JJ: What if you drank sake with them?

JS: The most important thing is to create opportunities for you to talk.

All: *nod violently*

CM: But I think it's all about your own intentions...

YC: You want to become obedient with them, don't you? If you have that kind of heart, you'll be alright.

YH: If you watch movies or play sports together, you'll naturally be able to talk to them.

YC: A first date with your parents.

JJ: Night-time jogging or something.

All: *burst out laughing*

JJ: You naturally become able to talk while running.

CM: It might be good for you to live by yourself, be separated from them once. That's one method. You will understand once you're separated. That you have to treasure your parents after all.

Fan 5: My boyfriend is really a narcissist. He cares about nothing but his clothes and his hairstyle, and that's really not manly.

All:
*look at Jaejoong*

JJ: Caring about things like that...saying that's not manly, isn't that a little strange?? Aren't there manly people who care about things like that??

PINKY: You're rushing, aren't you? *laughs*

JJ: I myself care about my clothes and stuff quite a lot.....

PINKY: You're saying that caring about your clothes and not being a man are different things, right?

JJ: Right!!

JS: Huh......*sighs* Please break up with him...

YH: Please break up with him...

CM: Not being manly and being a narcissist have nothing to do with each other. If you really dislike that about him I'd want you to break up with him...

YC: If you really hate that part about him.

JJ: ...But, that boyfriend might be strange.........yeah.

PINKY: Why all of a sudden??

JJ: I thought about this question one more time....this guy is definitely a narcissist, who ISN'T manly. But there are QUITE a lot of narcissists who are!

PINKY: And who are you talking about here?!

JJ: I AM NOT A NARCISSIST!!

All: *stare at Jaejoong for a short period again*

YC: This interview is fun.

JJ: That guy definitely, probably behaves like a girl, right?

JS: Because narcissism is an instinct to men, women have to accept this. Moreover that girl might have begun to date him based only on his appearance. You cannot date someone until getting to know his personality.

Fan 6: I was told by my parents that I have no sense of humour. What can I do in order to become someone who is called funny by others?

CM:
Please follow Junsu's example.

JS: There is one method. Whether it's funny or not, you're sort of telling a joke, right? Whether the person you're telling it to laughs or doesn't laugh...

YC: You yourself must ABSOLUTELY not laugh!

JS: Right! That way even if the other person doesn't laugh, they won't know you were trying to tell a joke.

PINKY: That's an amazingly sneaky trick!!

JS: That is the point of comedy. That itself might be funny. But if you don't laugh at that point, that is the end of everything!!

JJ: I am also bad at jokes........

CM: I'm the same as well. I...am not very funny. So I don't work hard to make people laugh.

All: You are funny! CHANGMIN!!




Yunho ♥
My Goal for 2009
YH: First of all, I'd like to improve my Japanese-speaking ability. Also, I'd like to grow both emotionally and internally. In my private time I'd like to go to Las Vegas! I went before for work, but shooting while looking at the Grand Canyon and the wonderful scenery is something that really remains in my memories!

My Recent Favourite Item



YH: A hat I got from someone, by a brand called "Clover". When I want to look cool I use it to hide one of my eyes a little, and when I want to look cute and fashionable I push the hat to the back of my head and put on glasses. This is something I was taught by a famous fashion editor!

This Is What's Cool About Yunho!
YC: I think the part of him that properly protects his friends is really cool. I love the Yunho that treasures "a man's friendship".

JJ: He's manly! The bigness of all of Yunho's gestures and actions, that kind of thing is really cool. When he sings and when he dances, too.

JS: He's really professional and someone who will do his best and work hard for absolutely anything. I think that's wonderful.

CM: He's manly. He's a person who treasures friendship.

I Want Yunho To Stop Doing This!
YC: Lately it seems like he's been having various problems, and when he's off from work he's not with the members, but is constantly together with his friends. It makes me feel just a little lonely... I've been close to Yunho since the very beginning so I don't take it to heart, but let's contact each other a bit more. Whether it's time to have a meal or time to just talk, let's make more and more of them!

JJ: Sometimes his actions are too big, and when he talks or dances, there are times when he hits the people next to him (laughs)! Yunho totally doesn't notice. I have also been hit by him, a lot of times.

JS: The amount of things he forgets is outrageously huge~! His wallet, cellphone...there's just all sorts of stuff he quickly loses or forgets. The members worry at those times. It's fine since he always finds his things, but it's that kind of, there are so many things he forgets and loses that it's like if he loses everything he might be left with nothing.

CM: It would be good if he tidied up our room just a bit more! It's not just our room, he has this habit of messing things up anywhere he goes~

To Yunho: I Wasn't Able To Say It Before, But I Confess...
YC: Yunho invited me to have a meal with him and his friend who is a Korean entertainer. I promised I would go too, but when I got home I was really tired. I came to feel, "I'm not really in the mood..." and called him to turn him down. I'm sorry for not keeping my promise that time!

JJ: Don't talk on the phone in my bedroom! Yunho doesn't talk on the phone in his own room, he talks while going back and forth, here and there, between the other members' bedrooms and the living room and stuff. Whatever it is, in my bedroom, just don't talk on the phone there!!!!

JS: I know very well that being in the leader's position is really difficult, but...until now and in the future too, you've really done your best and will keep doing your best for Tohoshinki. I am grateful.

CM: I might look like the type of person who doesn't like tidying up, but I am extremely particular about cleanliness! Unexpectedly!! UNEXPECTEDLY!! Yunho scolds me too much for being like that. But I....can't say this to Yunho.


Changmin ♥
My Goal for 2009
CM: Since I spent 2008 going back and forth between Korea and other countries, this year I want to study properly again, and get a little better at Japanese. I want to work hard on my singing and dancing too. In my private life, I'd like to make this a year in which I'm able to grow a bit more for myself. I want to learn the guitar too!

My Recent Favourite Item



CM: A book called "The Secret". It contains methods for how to increase your motivation in order to succeed. This is a book that's always placed beside my bed. I've been reading books a lot lately, so I've come to carry this with me. If I work hard I've been able to finish one book a day before!

This Is What's Cool About Changmin!
YH: Personally, I think Changmin is coolest when he's swimming. He has really beautiful form.

YC: Changmin is a man of little words. The part of him that doesn't talk to people based on his feelings or things he thinks of in that particular moment, but carefully listens to what the members and staff members have to say, and properly thinks them over before speaking, is cool.

JJ: He's tallll, he's youngggg, he's smart and he's good at Japanese. His ears tooooo~, his eyes toooo~, his mouth toooooo~... (CM: DON'T TOUCH ME~!) He's nothing but things to be praised for, isn't he!

JS: Changmin is really diligent. It feels like he's more of an adult than I am. He's a person of good manners.

I Want Changmin To Stop Doing This!
YH: He gets scared if there are things that don't go well. He gets depressed. Even if we encourage him he doesn't listen to us at all. He'll go up to the rooftop by himself.

YC: It's a little like, I don't really know what he's thinking about. But he changed for the better from last year onwards. I think it's cool how he carefully thinks about things by himself, but if we could talk about all sorts of things.....This is just my hope though, he's fine the way he is right now!

JJ: He's a little dirty. He messes up the living room. (CM: I tidy up in Japan!) Also, at times Changmin gets really scary. Like the devil (laughs). Even if I point that out about him, he'll definitely never admit it! But he's normally gentle.

JS: He makes fun of me too much!! And then he laughs at it, it's annoying. It's like he's in love with me. That makes me happy but it's also troublesome, doing nothing but being made fun of!!

To Changmin: I Wasn't Able To Say It Before, But I Confess...
YH: I'm the leader, and Changmin is the youngest. But there are some parts about us that are similar. I am really grateful that he's always watching over his selfish older brothers. To be honest. But I can't say that because I'm the older brother. I'm going to use PINKY as the opportunity to say this. Thank you, and I love you!

YC: There have been a lot of times where I've been having troubles and Changmin happens to contact me by coincidence. I think it's almost like my feelings are expressed to him even if I don't say anything. That kind of thing becomes a great source of energy for me.

JJ: This time during this interview, the real Changmin has been exposed......I'd like to apologize for that. Sorry!

JS: Even though he's the youngest, he really always brightly does his best in the midst of his older brothers. There have been times when I've thought, "How cute.." and "He's wonderful."


Jaejoong ♥
My Goal for 2009
JJ: I want my body and age to stay this way.....and to only become more of an adult mentally. I don't want to gain any more years. I want to keep living like this. Work-wise, I want to become even busier this year!! Manager-san, please give us even more work!! Please!!!

My Recent Favourite Item



JJ: This is used to tune notes. When you strike it, it gives the sound of the note "la". When we are singing chorus, we strike this and coordinate our notes. When I saw the Gospellers carrying this around and said "I should carry one around too...", they gave it to me as a present. Out of the Tohoshinki members, I am the only one who has this.

This Is What's Cool About Jaejoong!
YH: He's cool when he calms down and talks to me. When he speaks seriously I realize that he really has all kinds of thoughts.

YC: He's so honest that he's easily fooled. There's a part of him that immediately trusts people. But I like that about him. He has passion.

JS: He really thinks about us. It's expressed in everything from his words to his actions. His consideration for others is also cool.

CM: He seems cold from his appearance. But on the inside, he's warmer than any of the members. That's something that I might have to learn from him.

I Want Jaejoong To Stop Doing This!
YH: His jokes are uncool. They're really funny but he tells them at the wrong times! Sometimes he ends up bothering the members too!

YC: Jaejoong is really busy right now because he's doing his music activities as well as his drama. So when he gets even a little time off, he goes wild. I'm worried about Jaejoong's health. I understand how he feels, but please pay a little attention to your body!

JS: Soooometimes, I come to not understand Jaejoong (laughs). Jaejoong's moods are like a rugby ball, you don't know where they're going to fly. We've had interesting times because of that, so it's not a bad thing. But there are also times where it's a bother to us.

CM: He comes into the house still wearing his shoes~ and this is (whispers) the same as Yunho too..........(sighs). YOU MUST TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES.

To Jaejoong: I Wasn't Able To Say It Before, But I Confess...
YH: Lately Jaejoong has been having other work and is really busy. That may be so, but he's been doing his work as Tohoshinki with all his heart, not falling sick, and doing it all safely. Thank you.

YC: Jaejoong and a friend and I, the three of us, were having a meal at a bar in Korea. In Korea we don't really split the cost, we take turns to pay. That day it was my turn to pay, but I forgot my wallet.....and so Jaejoong paid for us. It was soju so it shouldn't have been that expensive. I didn't do it on purpose!

JS: I think that because Jaejoong is here, Tohoshinki has gotten a lot better image-wise and singing-wise. Of course, we can't do it without all the members....but I am especially grateful to Jaejoong for that aspect of his.

CM: There are times I observe Jaejoong for no reason. He tells me, "ENOUGH! DON'T LOOK AT ME!!", but I want to see more of Jaejoong's instinctive behaviour!! (JJ: He peeks at me from between the cracks in the door!) I am interested in everything about Jaejoong. Yes.


Yoochun ♥
My Goal for 2009
YC: If I have the time, I think I'd like to go on a trip overseas with my mother and younger brother. To Europe or like, various other places. Anywhere is fine! My goal work-wise is to do my best at composing music that is good enough to be able to offered to other artists. I also want to practice singing more and get better at it!

My Recent Favourite Item



YC: Francfranc candles. Lately I haven't had much room for comfort both time-wise and mentally, so I haven't been able to sleep well. Since I've got various things I'm worried about..... So I light up a lot of this type of candle and recharge. I buy them quite a lot in Korea too, and I've got lots of other different ones! They're unexpectedly expensive, aren't they...(T/N: I did some research and depending on which Francfranc candles he buys, they could cost him anywhere from 8USD to 40USD each D8)

This Is What's Cool About Yoochun!
YH: His figure when he composes music and plays the piano is cool. Since he really puts his emotions into them, those are the times his truest figure shows.

JJ: His figure when he gives his all and plays music is truly cool. And it feels like he lives life his own way the most. It's amazing how everything to him is done "my own way", but he never causes trouble to the people around him.

JS: He's good at creating an atmosphere that will suit that particular situation, bringing everyone together, and taking leadership. The aspect of him that definitely achieves whatever he thinks, "Let's do this" about is also amazing. He's a man of actions rather than words.

CM: He's a deep-thinking person. He has a deep (profound) heart. He has a different kind of manliness from Yunho's.

I Want Yoochun To Stop Doing This!
YH: Asking me to have supper with him. You know how men have a sense of honour, or like, deep emotion? Yoochun says it really well. He says, "If it was me, and you asked me, I'd eat with you. How about you, Yunho?" When he does that I get gradually weaker and weaker....and I end up saying, "Let's go just for today!"

JJ: He always sleeps with the fan on. It seems like he likes the cold, so even in winter he doesn't warm up his room! Yoochun is the only one who's constantly saying, "It's hot it's hot!" But we're cold.

JS: His moods change easily. When he's feeling down, everyone also takes this into consideration (laughs). When Yoochun is feeling dark, everyone becomes dark. That kind of aura he has is amazing. Today's Yoochun? He's seriously high, isn't he!

CM: He always asks me to join him when he's having supper. HAVEN'T YOU GOTTEN EVEN ME FAT ALREADY?! (T/N: He means Chun has gone through all the members and has now even managed to fatten Min 8D)In the middle of the night he goes, "Let's go to the ramen shop!" or whatever, and in the house we've got instant ramen and yakisoba and so on, nothing but things that you end up seriously wanting to eat. (angry) He says, "It's lonely to eat alone!"!!!!!

To Yoochun: I Wasn't Able To Say It Before, But I Confess...
YH: Since Yoochun left his cellphone to charge and went out, I disconnected his charger and put in my phone for about thirty minutes. It was a complete crime that no one knew about.

JJ: I've arbitrarily eaten Yoochun's presents. Till now I've done it not once, but countless times. Food~, or like health drinks~..........I always think I'll never get caught....I'm sorry!!

JS: He always gives the most response to even my unfunny jokes! Thank you.

CM: Up till now I've borrowed two books from Yoochun....and made them my own........I'm sorry. (JJ: Isn't that being a thief?!) But I REALLY wanted to read those two books!!!!!!!


Junsu ♥
My Goal for 2009
JS: In 2009 I really want to do my best and hold an independent Tohoshinki concert standing on the stage of Tokyo Dome. In my private life, I want to go on a trip. The destination can be anywhere! Whether it's within the country or overseas.... Since I think I'll be able to get that kind of time. And I want to energetically give everything my all!

My Recent Favourite Item



JS: Burberry's perfume "WEEKEND FOR MEN". I tried out lots of different perfumes and really like this one. I have lots of perfumes, but right now this is the one I like the most, so it's always in my bag without fail. It'd be bad if it broke, so I put it properly into a box and carry it around with me!

This Is What's Cool About Junsu!
YH: He's cool when he sings. It's like he's not Junsu.

YC: He's pure. I think he's a guy that suits that word 100%, and he always elevates the members' moods. I think that aspect of his, is a really great one.

JJ: The Junsu that stands on stage is the coolest. The singing, dancing Junsu is the best!

CM: I think he's the funniest thing in the world! I worship him! My mood really elevates just by watching him.

I Want Junsu To Stop Doing This!
YH: If he goes into his own room he plays games forever and doesn't come out. He might even be a pro gamer. His presence disappears to the point where we start to wonder whether he's really just left the house. If all of you were with us for a day you'd be shocked too.

YC: Junsu doesn't drink alcohol and he doesn't smoke cigarettes. I like alcohol. I love the atmosphere of a place with liquor ♥ But Junsu goes home and does nothing but play games. I'd like him to go out once in a while and meet his friends.

JJ: He's annoying (immediate reply). And, I want him to say what he wants to say properly till the very end. He changes the topic in the middle of what he's saying and is all over the place. I always have no idea what his conclusion is.

CM: He's too bright......IT'S ANNOYING! His voice is so loud!!!

To Junsu: I Wasn't Able To Say It Before, But I Confess...
YH: I have a hobby of collecting coins. I'd massage Junsu and say, "Okay, 300 yen ple~ase," acting aegyo (T/N: Everyone knows the Korean term for "acting cute" right? Leader-sshi uses the Japanese term aikyou, but since I can't think of an English equivalent ;p), and Junsu would point to a table and say, "Take 300 yen from that small change there." When I went there was 400 yen there, so I took all of it. It was a complete crime.

YC: Since we're both the same age and are friends, even though we're joking around there are times I say too much and am too harsh on him, and I really regret it later on. I'm really sorry for that. Thank you for always being so kind to me.

JJ: When the other members are being interviewed, or when it's the other members' turns to talk, shut up (laughs). Tohoshinki is a five-member group, so we have a sort of order for each person to receive questions and answer them, right? But he just arbitrarily talks. For example even when it's something Changmin is being questioned about, Junsu will go, "Ah~~, Changmin right~" and answer everything. When it's time for questions for the other members, shut up!

CM: The joy of my life, is the discovery of Junsu's funniness! There was one day where he told this to me. He said, "That's enough so stop looking at my face!" It seems he receives stress just by my looking at him.
