G-Dragon, “I’m close with the DBSK sunbaes”
This news is sooo cuuute~! XD Kyaaaah~! DongBang~X~BigBang love? Or is it just Jae-D rabu?
[TRANS] 100217 G-Dragon BIG BANG 15-Part Interview Final Part- “I’m close with the DBSK sunbaes”
(omitted)
He also became friends with many singers from other management agencies. Especially SM Entertainment’s DBSK, their sunbaes in both Japan and Korea.“I’ve recently become close with my sunbaes in DBSK. In the past there used to be a lot of unseen rivalry between different agencies but since we’re both in groups we all have a lot in common. Hero JaeJoong hyung approached me first. After that I naturally became friends with Yoochun hyung and Junsu hyung and I realised that I could be the dongsaeng too.”
He would pester the DBSK hyungs to buy him food when they were staying in Japan, and they gave him a lot of advice.
“I admired them because they’d survived in a different country with different cultures. It doesn’t matter whether people are SM or JYP or whatever anymore, I like everyone. Sometimes it just comes to me that ‘Aww that person must’ve been through a lot of pain’ or ‘I should tell this person this piece of advice’. I think our hearts are all opening towards each other now. I would like it if our hubaes (juniors) would come up and talk to us too.”(omitted)

As expected Jaejoong approached him first. So see, JJ is not snob—never was. I love Jaejoong for being sooo~ *sigh* I’m lost for words. And what’s this pestering DBSK to buy food in Japan? ROTFLMAO So they talk to each other in Japan? Hmmm…. I think in shows or awards wherein they had to guest? In my mind right now is GD trying to act cute to Jaejoong so he would buy him motsunabe. LOL (*—;*) (Jae: Fan fic! Fan fic!)
*deep breath* My heart is sooo full of love. GD just proves that it doesn’t matter whether we’re Cassies or VIPs or whatever, like he said we just have to open our hearts like they did.
Fall in Love by Aoyama Teruma feat. SOL (Tae Yang) of BIG BANG (Romanization)
If my hearing is correct these are the lyrics. Translating is a pain but it’s already on the video. Kekeke… Happy karaoke!
Fall in love motto suki ninatteiino?
Kimi ga saigo no koibito nano?
Shinji taiyo shinji sasete forever
Nemure nu yoru wa kimi no namae
Tsubuyaitemiru again
Sore dake demata setsuna kunatte

(Mayonaka demo ton dekukedo
Do you feel the same baby?)
Wagamamade kowaku naru

Fall in love motto suki ninatteiino?
Kimi ga saigo no koibito nano?
Shinji taiyo shinji sasete forever
Fall in love mou nanimo iranai

(“Zutto” no imi give me yubikiri
Do you feel the same baby?)

I wanna believe this feeling is real
Fall in love motto suki ninatteiino?
Kimi ga saigo no koibito nano?

Baby baby
(Baby baby)
Do you feel the same?
(Oh oh)
Do you feel the same baby? Oh
(Oooh oooh oooh)
This reminds me of… Tetris!
In Japan, Big Bang is Cassie while Tohoshinki is ELF
I’m tired of posting pictures so I went for videos. The thing is that in these performances the lightsticks are not really the same as in Korea.
.
If Cassies and VIPs are watching this, they would be (O__O) as I am. I thought they’ll be using the yellow crown lightstick still. I’m not really sure if it’s for sale there also.
.
Well, this has been done before while the boys were having their first formal concert at Tokyo Dome. Okay, so there is a little weee~ difference in color.
.
Truth is color doesn’t matter. 😉
Spot The Missing Groups
I don’t like to be bitter for my babies because they were not able to join the fun but it can’t be helped.
Dream Concert 2009
Highlights of the concert:
- Big Bang is joined by DaeSung and performs as 5 members! 2 months after his car accident, DaeSung joins Big Bang to perform for the concert. He did a solo with ‘Only fools tears’ and said, “I wanted to see everyone that is why I came out to perform earlier”
- 2PM performs as 6 members for the first time after leader JaeBum left the group. Fans and also other fanclub members were shouting JaeBum’s name during the group’s performances.
- Big Bang and 2PM’s performances have been requested for no-broadcast by their companies
The frowns:
- The photo-time before the concert that day was delayed for an hour due to the boycott by the news photographers
- The 40,000 audience crowd had to wait in the cold weather even until 30 minutes before the concert itself.
The concert performances will be aired via SBS on 11th October at 3.30pm.

.
Aside from their understandable lack of appearance on stage, there are a few groups which are missing a member like 2 PM’s Jaebom and Super Junior’s Kangin.
SuJu: So “Sorry Sorry” that we’re only twelve.
.
2PM: “Again & Again” we believe that our leader will be back.
.
But I’ m relieved that Daesung has fully recovered from his injuries and that Big Bang was able to perform as five. Another downer is that Big Bang’s and 2PM’s numbers will not be broadcasted. Bummer.
Big Bang: We were not telling you “Lies” that Daesung will perform.
.
I am bias with the boy groups because the Wonder Girls are somewhere. (So can I call that disappearance, WonderShinki? LOL)
.
And WTF is my favorite SuJu member up to while hosting last Saturday? Lord, I wanna know.


Haha! I would always laugh at Heechul’s pictures even he’s not doing anything and sometimes even more when he’s seriously speaking.
.
I fully empathize with the Korean Cassies because while the show was going on they were still longing for Dong Bang Shing Gi to magically appear in the concert. (I wished for that too.) It gave me goosebumps to know that they showed their undying love for the boys by chanting their name. (T_T)
.
The boys have been working their asses off in Japan yet when they are now back home, they cannot be active. *sigh* Life.
I could only guess what the boys are doing…
- Jaejoong
My vampire could probably wander on the streets late at night until the next morning with celebrity friends more freely now. He can smoke 20 packets of Marlboro Gold a day, get drunk with a case of Jinro and etch another Tatist artwork on his skin if he wants to. I know my bad boy. He is a grown up already and I don’t want to mother him around. So, Jae, if you need someone to drive you home because you can hardly step on the pedal, just call me. My phone number is (+XX)boing-boing-5-boing-boing. Is it going to be your apartment or mine? 😛 (Jae: Most definitely yours.) I like it when you’re drunk.
- Yunho
He is most likely to be filming, filming, filming and doing some little promotions here and there (although I am eager to see him in more Evisu-like photoshoots). 😉 He might spend his time in some coffee shop with Go Ara to practice his lines over and over again. I think that he is using mnemonics because he can remember his lines well now. He could still be swarmed by radiowaves while talking animatedly to whoever it is. Too bad Jae might not be home to cover his wide-opened mouth with a blanket when he is exhausted from work.
- Yoochun
Perhaps he is sulking every now and then updating his Cyworld from time to time. Painting an abstract could help release all the anguish and negative energy from within and out to the universe. Breathe in and then say, “Wooooosa,” while breathing out, Chunnie. He might be a couching potato while watching DVDs or reading manga versions of Naruto Shippuuden or One Piece. (Because of Dong Bang I’m waaaay behind my anime fandom.) It is also possible that he is working his Sharingan on Harang to make his canine friend shoo off the stalkers from his garage. Or maybe he is soundtripping to that The Beatles In Mono fan gift (that I so dearly want to have) while drinking wine in his mini bar.
- Changmin
I don’t know but to me he is like building a mystery. He is like Bella Swan; an anti-dote to my mind-reading powers. From the looks if things I will still think that he is buffing up and then—food, goes to the gym the next day and then indulge on some bulgogi back home. He could be keen on his lines while munching on some croquettes too. I would likely think that that is his routine nowadays until I will see stalker photos of him filming in Jeju Island. But when it’s Changmin, working out will not be pointless even if he is chomping up a bag of Lay’s.
- Junsu
In all probabilities he can be leveling up his online character. To add a bit of his social life, he must be playing LAN games with his bro or hopping all net cafes in Seoul for some online matches. It’s typical for any male Korean gamer. Junsu-ah, can you please buff noona Lynaeina, here? I’m on server 2. May I ask some of your useless rare items especially those with +10? Will you let me leech in all of your log hours? *blink blink* (Jae: Lynnie, how thick can your face get?) Only when I’m gaming, Jae. 😉
.
I really miss them performing in Korea. I’ll just reminisce the time they did last Dream Concert…
Purple Line lemme set your world, Lynnie.
Mummy dance in Rising Sun. I’ve lost my innocence.
Jaejoong-ah, Yoochun-ah, Yunho-ah, Junsu-ah, Changmin-ah… Nee-chan Lynnie is waiting for your comeback stage in Korea okay? Love you.

Baby Jae is one of the “ikemen” male singers in Japan
I really do think that I am born in the wrong country.

Wow. Lot’s of “ikemen”s. I would say that I’m still too Japanese in my taste but I don’t know about their #1. Honestly, I don’t even know him. LOL Sorry.
All of the boys in Tohoshinki are in the top 50. Nice.
I am not surprised JEs are there as usual but I’m glad to see Koreans like TOP, Hyun Joong and G-Dragon. Big Bang is getting big there (I guess) and yeah the Japanese still like cold-looking people or shall I say “kakkoi” just like the drinking buddies, TOP and Hyun Joong, if foreigners want to make it. Hyun Joong just went there for their BOF promotion and may have attracted lots of females as well as a flu but notice Lee Min Ho is not on the list? I don’t know if I may have skipped him as I browse down but maybe because he’s not that “bad” as Jun Pyo in his image for me as well as to them. G-Dragon was wearing a cap that says he’s kind of a flower boy or something and I think he already is in a Japanese’ point of view. LOL
Just take a look at the top five aren’t they full of dark charisma? LOL Or shall I say, has a “bad boy” image. Girls, like me, fall for that. I’ll be drawn to him like magnet. If there’s something mysterious in a guy isn’t he intriguing and makes a person want to know him more?
Spazz…
#4 GACKT
Yes. Gackt is beautiful and cute and talented and funny and sexy and he’s afraid of marriage. If you’re into visual kei you will know what I mean. ^.^ I don’t know his age until now but I love his image. Behind that is a softie. (Admit it, Gackt! Or else you wouldn’t have married a Korean. LOL)
#3 Hyde
Hyde is a classic. The more he ages, the more he’s getting beautiful and his personality rocks. There’s not much information about him but he’s cool. Gackt & Hyde. *evul grin* Good luck to promoting Vamps in the States, Hyde! And if you’ll meet Bono… Just shake his hand. LOL
#2 Kim Jaejoong
Do I really have to say something for this guy? (Jae: I’m waiting.) Okay so he looks like he came out from a manga or anime. He’s cold outside but is very sensitive inside. He’s hilarious and even knows how to cook. Think about Yuki of Fruits Basket. What is there not to like in a flower boy of an anime?
Seeing Jaejoong along with some J-Rock artists makes me think he will do good in that genre if he’ll go solo. LOL For now, I still can’t imagine him without the other four. And… I’m not sure if I’ll like him putting on heavy make-up and cross-dressing. As if he never did. LOL Jae, do you think you’re ready for visual kei? (Jae: *thinking…*)
Looking forward to…
This season, I’ll probably be following these. Exciting!
Album
- COLORS ~Melody & Harmony~
As the theme of this blog implies so, its owner is just waiting for September 30th and then maybe she could change the header. Her mood could be as those of the waves but not as moody as Jaejoong.
I’m still on a mission to find out the tracklist for this. LOL
Concert
- Dream Concert
This year’s forecast of the concert is star-studded and probably one of the biggest. Although I have doubts because of certain issues most specially the boys:
DBSK – Has contract issues with SM which has stopped their activities for the next two months. Will this be another SM Town ’09 in the making? Not sure. Last minute cancellation is definitely possible for a company like that. Aaarrggghhh!
Big Bang – Daesung, after his car accident, has suffered major injuries. He’s probably in the process of recovery right now but I hope he’ll make it in time for this concert. Pleeeaaase!
2PM – Recently, JaeBum’s offending messages from gazillion of years ago has been discovered thus creating criticisms. To control this situation, JYP has decided not to let him appear in the public eye for the time being. But, for how long? TT__TT
Even if there are many things to worry about this dream concert, for me it wouldn’t be my dream concert without DBSK so hopefully it will push through.
Reality Show
- Family Outing with Hyun Joong
Weeee! Why do I feel like screaming? Because It’s Hyun Joong and Lee Hyori! I like them because they are both cool. And to quote,
Kim Hyun Joong had thus fulfilled his promise to Lee Hyori. Lee Hyori had invited Kim Hyun Joong to participate for this show during DongBangShinGi’s concert in February. Kim Hyun Joong had always chosen Lee Hyori as his ideal girl.

Interesting.
Dramas
- Tokyo Dogs
Now this has an interesting cast.
This original police drama will put Oguri Shun in the role of a elite NYPD cop with a military past with Hiro Mizushima as his partner. The two men are sent to Japan to work on a case involving large scale drug dealers. The lovely young Yoshitaka Yuriko will also play a key figure in the case, although her role has not been revealed yet. The show seems as if it will focus strongly on the partnership between Oguri and Mizushima’s characters.

Congratulations by the way to the newly wed, Hiro Mizushima and the new director Shun Oguri. Let’s just see if this will hit or miss. Pilot episodes make long-lasting impressions.
- Samurai Seventeen
Haruma Miura plays Kotaro Mochizuki, a private high school student who is normally a mild-mannered, unmasculine guy. But after coming across a mysterious ancient document, he finds that whenever he gets into a difficult situation, he becomes imbued with the heroic samurai spirit of his ancestors.
The character of Kotaro will normally be seen in his school uniform, but for his first transformation, Miura will reportedly have a scene wearing a samurai outfit and engaging in a sword fight.
“Samurai Seventeen” will air on Saturdays at 9:00pm, beginning in October.
OMG. This is another dream come true for me. I sooo love it when cute actors play samurai. I just hope he won’t fail. A samurai is such a strong character and the story seems like manga-ish so maybe it will work for him.
Gambarremasu, Miura-kun! Don’t fail Lynaeina onee-chan~!
Movie
- Heaven’s Postman
I’ve been waiting for this mini drama/ movie for like… forever. It seems like my postman has been postponed on screen for a few times. It’s confirmed that it will be aired this October but I’ll put my mindset on November. I can’t expect a lot now that a few times I’ve been disappointed.
A messenger that has the ability to travel between the present and the afterworld Shin Jae Joon (Kim Jaejoong) was involved in an accident that put him in a coma. Now, his spirit has the ability to travel back and forth to the afterworld and the real world. He meets Jo Ha Na (Han Hyo Jo) as she is trying to send her boyfriend a letter. Ha Na, however, is the only person who can see Jae Joon.
Nevertheless, Jaejoong has been praised for his hardwork in this. Thinking about his schedule while he was filming this is nauseating. You make your wife, Lynaeina, so proud, Joongie!
So many reasons to be excited for. So many reasons to cheer up this season.It’s cold and feels like Christmas is near.
Jae, baby, I want that hug from you soon.
