CNBLUE Recorded “MTV Unplugged” : First from a Korean Artist

Source: StarNews


Korean rock band CNBLUE became the first South Korean artist to ever performed in “MTV Unplugged” .
On January 31, CNBLUE recorded “MTV Unplugged” in Japan and performed a total of 12 hits songs in front of their fans. More than 150 fans gathered at the recording and cheered for the band’s lively performance.
“MTV Unplugged” , known for its acoustic live performances, with the artist in close contact with the fans, started its broadcast in 1989. World-famous stars such as Eric Clapton, Mariah Carey, Oasis have also appeared in this program. The Japanese production of the program began July last year.
As the first ever Korean artist to appear in“MTV Unplugged”  stage, CNBLUE  has made another “history”. Approximately 15,000 fans applied for the ticket to watch the recording, that’s 100 times more than the 150 seats prepared by MTV.
CNBLUE heated the stage especially with their second Japanese single “Where You Are” which aroused the audience’s reaction. The new single is officially released on February 1 in Japan.
“We were surprised to hear that the application for the tickets was 100 times more than the accommodated ones. We will do our best to show the fans the best stage performance they have ever seen. To our fans, we are really grateful,” said CNBLUE  members.
CNBLUE made their Japanese major debut on October 19 last year with “In My Head” that have sold more than 100,000 copies. That achievement was acknowledged by the Recording Industry Association of Japan and CNBLUE  received the “Golden Award”, proving their popularity in the country.
“MTV Unplugged” featuring CNBLUE will be aired on February 25.

FEELING

Lyrics by: JUNG YONGHWA
Music by: JUNG YONGHWA, RYO
Arrangement: Kenji Tamai, Rui Momota


A flower in the spring, fallen leave in the fall.
That is the paradise.
A teardrop in my face, beads of sweat in my face.
That is the paradise.

I am confused. I’m at a nonplus.
I am in tears. And tear me down.
I am confused. That continues. But I will enjoy those everyday.

It’s just a feeling. It’s just a feeling.
That is just a faint feeling.
It’s just a feeling. It’s just a feeling.
Just the feeling changes of mind.

I miss every every everything,
and anything anything beside my mind.
The sun I see only sits in dark space lighting up my world.

A flower in the spring, fallen leave in the fall.
That is the paradise.
A teardrop in my face, beads of sweat in my face.
That is the paradise.

It’s just a feeling. It’s just a feeling.
That is just a faint feeling.
It’s just a feeling. It’s just a feeling.
Just the feeling changes of mind.

I miss every every everything,
and anything anything beside my mind.
The sun I see only sits in dark space lighting up my world.

You miss every every everything,
and anything anything beside your mind.
The sun you see only sits in dark space lighting up your world.

I miss everything, anything beside my mind.
A shooting star will light our worlds apart again. Certainly.

You miss every every everything,
and anything anything beside your mind.
The sun you see only sits in dark space lighting up your world.

Waiting for a feeling to come, and close your eyes.
That will shine your mind.

[GIF]What did CNBLUE do to look cool in front of girl group? [yonghwa's talk]

cr: Daebaksubs.com

First thing is,

 " When there are the girl groups,when they are in front of them,they never let go of their instruments" .
Then…

 "For the drums,Minhyuk would keep the drum sticks with him and just start tapping his things with the beats..."
After that.....

Yonghwa
“Inside our hearts”
There’s a story that if we get a dragon ball, our wish will come true. Even tonight, I look up to the sky, waiting for a dragon! But, I think that the ball is already inside people’s heart. That’s why, I always believe in my heart, wishing my wish will come true.
Jonghyun
“Want to fly to the sky”
Speaking about dragon, it reminds me of a dragon manga (comic) that I used to read when I was kid. I want to ride on the dragon’s back and fly to the sky.
Minhyuk
“A boy”
I draw a dragon that flies to the high sky. In Korea, if we dream about a dragon, a boy will be blessed. When I was born, it’s not same but I dreamt about a dragon that flew to the sky.
Jungshin
“Big like dragon”
2012 is a dragon year. Until now, it’s an important time for me. I wish in 2012 CNBLUE can become big like a dragon, and become an important year.

[News] FNC Music Warns Jung Yonghwa Fans About a Fake me2day Account



Some people aspire to be like celebrities, some idolize them, and a select few will actually take the time to create fake SNS accounts pretending to live their lives. It’s been revealed that CNBLUE‘s Jung Yonghwa is the latest celebrity to inspire an impostor account on a social networking service.

On January 24th, a netizen pretending to be the singer wrote on me2day, “Kang Dong Ho senior sang CNBLUE’s “Love” on a Lunar New Year special. ^^ Thank you Kang Dong Ho sunbaenim“.

It seemed as if Jung Yonghwa was personally thanking actor Kang Dong Ho for his cover of CNBLUE’s song on SBS‘s ’Pop Star Actor‘.

However, CNBLUE’s agency firmly denied that such an account exists.

On January 26th, FNC Music spoke with TV Report and stated, ”Jung Yonghwa does not have a me2day account. The account in question has been created by a netizen impersonating him.”

Jung Yonghwa is the latest celebrity to have inspired a fake account in his name. Others in the long list include Kim Yeojin, Kim Yujin, Ryu Seungbum, Jung Ilwoo, BoA, Park Shin Hye, Park Han Byul, Lee Byung Hun, Rain, Lee Hyori, Jang Geun Suk, Son Dambi, IU, B2ST‘s Yoseob, YG Entertainment artists, and more.

[Scans|Trans] CNBLUE Special Interview in ‘TV Fan’ magazine March 2012 issue

credit:http://cnbluestorm.com



Special Interview
Where you are
CNBLUE, a four-member rock band, launched their awaited major debut with a successful nationwide tour in Japan.
Set to release their 2nd single, “Where you are” on Feb.1, they share their much fervor for the big stage!
Here’s a look into their jolly conversation, difficult to imagine from their cool vibe onstage.


Although Busy, We’re Happiest Right Now
How do you feel, looking back on 2011 with big accomplishments?
JS: So many things happened. Before our major debut, we had a concert at Yokohama Arena, and also at Yoyogi Gymnasium at the end…it was a very meaningful year.
MH: It was a year that we made the major debut in Japan, a year of beginning.
JH: We were really busy. But looking back, I think it’s quite happy to be busy.
YH: In sum, the year 2011 was JS’s year. JS made such an accomplishment (laughs).
What kind of accomplishment, exactly?
YH: He gives me massages when I’m tired (laughs). During our tours, I always use the same room with JS at hotels.
JH: Then, the person who did not get chosen by YH hyung comes to my room.
YH: But I like MH these days, too. The other day, he gave me a massage after a concert and he was very good.
In December, you had a first nationwide tour after your major debut, right?
YH: I was delighted to perform at the Zepp halls in a long time. Yoyogi had its own vibe, being a huge place. We had flaming effects when we sang “In My Head”, and it heated up the atmosphere.
JS: I thought, now we can perform at Zepp, and also at Yoyogi. I was really happy to hear that the tickets were sold out.
JH: I also really like eating various food from each region. Tebasaki (chicken wings) and hitsumabushi at Nagoya, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and yakisoba at Osaka…I like them all. I think we ate about 50 tebasaki? With MH, the two of us ate around 100 I think (laughs).
MH: We’re usually okay with most Japanese food. We even had gyutan (beef tongue) at Sendai, and tebasaki was really good!
Tell us about your second single, to be released on Feb. 1.
YH: The title, “Where you are”, is a song about a person in despair who is looking for “something” to save her/himself. When I write songs, it’s easy to both sing and play the instrument, but JH’s “Get away” requires high notes, so I’m a little worried about live performances.
JS: In “Get away”, there’s a part where four of us sing together. MH and I usually don’t sing, so it was quite fun to record together!
MH: Right. Since I like all three songs very much, recording them was fun. During our repeated performances, I get better at drumming, but I always get nervous when playing for the first time. “Get Away” was especially difficult because of the fast tempo.
You guys also sing in Japanese lyrics–how do you normally study?
All: At interviews!
JH: We don’t particularly study Japanese, but we do through interviews.
YH: While doing many interviews, we hear same words over and over, so we get to naturally remember them as well as new words.
JS: We watch many dramas, too. From long ago, I liked “Flowershop without Roses” and “Pride”. I especially watched “Pride” many times.
YH: As for me, I recently watched “Osen” starring Ms. Aoi Yu.
How do you want to spend this year?
YH: (With a straight face) I want to make it MH’s year. Last year, I often shared the room with JS, so I want to enjoy tours with MH this year.
JH: I also want to support the dongsaengs. I’m happy enough right now, so I’m just hoping for nothing bad to happen. I wish all of us good health.
MH: Yeah. Hopefully nothing will happen. I think that’s the best.
JS: As for me, although my skill’s not quite there yet, I want to write a good song. When I tried writing a song, there were so many difficulties.
YH: It’s really hard. But since everyone’s putting much effort in it, perhaps we can hear it sometime soon.
JS: I hope people who listen to my song would say, “ah, this is a good song.”
What are some shows that you want to be on?
YH: I wanna be on SMAPXSMAP! I wanna say, “I want lobster” at Bistro Smap. I laughed hard watching the YAB skits.
JS: I want to come out on Hey! Hey! Hey! or Music Station.
MH: I mostly watch movies or dramas…
JH: Not that I want to be on this show, but I like “London Hearts.” It’s really funny!
In Japan, do you go out to eat or play?
JH: We want to, but we have no time.
YH: A while ago, when we got on a taxi and spoke in Korean, the driver asked, “do you know Girl’s Generation?” So I said, “they’re very popular in Korea.” He seemed to be into Kpop and knew many artists. But he didn’t notice us. We’re celebrities, too!
JS: He didn’t know until the end. We didn’t even wear hats (laughs).
JH: It means we need to work harder.
YH: From now on, we’ll compete with live performances. (In soft voice) but I’m still hurt…
What’s your goal from now on?
YH: A concert at the Tokyo Dome. Then, the Billboard will be my goal.
JH: I want to perform many live concerts.
MH: Yeah. Release albums, perform live… I want to continue that for a long time.
JS: Right.
YH: We can do it!








How would you describe your members in terms of family?
MH: Um..though it’s hard, JS is the mom and YH the dad. JH’s my hyung but a twin brother? (laughs) Um…actually, just a hyung.
JS: I’d be the youngest? And JH is the oldest hyung, YH is the father, MH the mother (laughs). Because MH listens well to what everyone says.
YH: So I’m the father? Really? I think we’re all brothers. I’m the oldest and JS the youngest.
JS: We often say MH’s the mom and YH hyung’s the dad. But it actually feels more like 4 brothers. JS and MH as the youngest, and YH hyung really seems like a hyung.





YH: To say objectively, I’m probably a very positive and outgoing person…who always tries to smile. Because I’m the oldest, I’m a leader who tries to be nice to the dongsaengs (laughs). JS’s fun when he’s with us, but in front of others he gets shy and would not speak to them. He changes outside. It’d be nice if he could show more of his everyday self. These days, I’m into playing games on ipad. Each one of us has an ipad, and I overused mine so it’s being charged right now (laughs).
Thanks & Sorry to members
-to JH: I’m sorry I couldn’t take care of our members that much as a leader. Thanks for practicing with them when I’m not around.
MH: I like playing games, so when I’m free I usually play soccer games or shooting games. Other than that, I watch baseball or check soccer news, though I can’t do it much nowadays because of tour preparations… Now that we’ve lived together for a long time, there isn’t much I would like them to fix. If I had to point out someone… it’d be me? I really can’t stop myself from falling asleep (laughs). I want to fix that.
Thanks & Sorry to members
-to JS: I’m sorry I’m always nagging you. As rhythm instrumentalists within the band and also as same-age friends, thank you sincerely for being with me and having fun times with me!





JS: I think I’m probably a source of energy? for our members. I purposely try to fool around or make jokes to light up the mood. The difficulty of four guys living together is… JH and I REALLY have specific preference over food (laughs). But our preferences are polar opposites! Sometimes he loves the stuff that I don’t like very much. Nowaways, we negotiate and live peacefully, like “I went along with your taste yesterday, so let’s eat what I like today!” (laughs)
Thanks & Sorry to members
-to YH: As the leader who heads CNBLUE, thank you for your hard work. I want to apologize about… well, more importantly, I’m extremely happy just being with you, so hwaiting from now on! Let’s do it!
JH: It’s been 5 years since we began living together. Since four people who have totally different backgrounds live together, there were some difficulties in the beginning but I think we’ve come to adjust to one another. For example, YH hyung and I take very short time to shower but the dongsaengs take long. I sleep the latest, YH hyung a little before me, and the dongsaengs sleep early–all different. YH hyung and I have work to do, so we sleep late.
Thanks & Sorry to members
-to MH: MH, you’re really good at drumming. Thank you always for playing well. I’m sorry I’m doing my own things nowdays and not taking care of you as much as I used to.

Top stars and Labels continue to effectively communicate with fans via SNS

credit: http://www.allkpop.com/2012/01/top-stars-and-labels-continue-to-effectively-communicate-with-fans-via-sns


Where would the stars be without social networking?

Social networking has played a major role assisting the top celebrities promote and advertise, and has served as possibly the biggest tool in spreading K-pop and Hallyu awareness across the globe.

These days, the stars seem to enjoy communicating with the fans through SNS (Social Networking Services).

After the 4th annual ‘Idol Star Athletics & Swimming Championships‘, the top stars thanked their fans through their respective Twitter pages.

When it was time for the college entrance exams, the stars sent their support and encouragement to their fans, and together with their fans shared the joys of holding the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang after the news was announced.

Like so, SNS is a good way to quickly spread news and has become a bridge between the fans and the stars, where they can both share their thoughts and their day-to-day activities.

◆ Celebrities that keep up with a SNS seem more approachable

Idol stars these days often share photos to update their fans on their whereabouts, latest activities, and more. This is an effort to make themselves seem more approachable and down to earth, and as a result, better communication and growing closer with their fans.

This is also a good way to broaden their fan base, as new articles are written in regards to their tweets and daily activities.

Although some of their tweets can quickly be misunderstood and be thrown into controversy, the celebrities continue to communicate with their fans on a regular basis.

◆ The SNS most preferred by celebrities? Twitter.

The social networking site most preferred by Korea’s celebrities is none other than Twitter. The face that they are able to easily make a connection with their fans in 140 characters or less is especially appealing.

The celebrities also have a strong influence on their fans. According to a report by Twitter Korea, 8 out of 10 Twitter users with the most followers in Korea are idol group members.

Super Junior‘s Choi Siwon is currently in the lead, being the first Korean idol Twitter user to surpass the 1 million follower mark.

◆ Celebrities are able to reach their international fans via SNS

It’s almost necessary to have social networking accounts these days, in order to help promote albums and events to fans overseas. SM Entertainment who is making a splash in Europe and South America opened their first Youtube channel in June of 2009.

Their Facebook page which opened June of last year earned over a million subscribers in just 7 months, earning high interest from all over the world.

According to social media analytics site Socialbakers, SM Entertainment has more ‘Like’s on Facebook than any other Asian music label, and they have the second most in the world.

JYP Entertainment CEO J.Y. Park filmed a video of the choreography from overseas when the girls were promoting their song “Tell Me” in 2006, which became a hot topic online.

And the final label in the ‘Big 3′, YG Entertainment, also encourages communication between their artists and the fans by sharing links to their official SNS pages on their main site.
