[Trans] 100930 Will JYJ’s First Album Surpass TVXQ?

JYJ is attempting to break a new record for album sales.

JYJ will be releasing their first global album on October 12th. As the team is comprised of former TVXQ members Micky Yoochun, YoungWoong Jaejoong and Xiah Junsu, many predict that this album will have a great impact on the music industry.

TVXQ, which the three members were a part of, set a new milestone for album sales when they sold 500,000 copies of their fouth album . It left a deep impression on the industry as at the time, the offline album market was in a deep slump.

is predicted to have an explosive reaction as it is the first album in two years that the trio are releasing. All 99,999 luxury package limited edition CDs have been pre-ordered which means that the trio has sold 100,000 copies in a single day. To add to the industry’s surprise, 50,000 copies of the normal package have already been pre-ordered as well, two weeks before the release of the album.

One of the reasons the album is garnering such attention is because it will be released worldwide. As their former group TVXQ even made it in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the biggest official fanclub in the world, many predict that the number of albums sold across the continents will be impressive. As bulk orders are being made from countries such as Japan and China, some are even speculating that they will sell over 500,000 copies and surpass their former record.

A representative of Warner Music stated, “The fans’ anticipation is high because this is their first album in two years. We are cautiously predicting record breaking album sales.”

동방신기,

언제나 비가와도 칠흙같이 캄캄한 어둠이 와도...

그대 곁에서 기다릴께 ...

Nothing better than that...

[Color - Melody & Harmony]

誰かのために

For someone’s sake

僕らはここで

we are here,

小さな事しかできないけれど

Although we can only achieve small things,

一秒だけでも

Even just for 1 second,

世界上に涙止めて

We still want to stop all the tears in this world,

笑顔になってくれるのなろ

And turn them all into smiles

My music is my life

For you, for your smile...
