AKB48, EXILE, and more receive a letter of appreciation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

On October 25th, artists who attended “The 2nd Japan-Vietnam Friendship Music Festival~Kono Heiwa wo Yume mite~” in Hanoi, Vietnam earlier this month visited the Prime Minister’s official residence, where they received a letter of appreciation from two notable public figures: Chief Cabinet Secretary Fujimura Osamu and Sugi Ryotaro, the special ambassador for Japan and Vietnam.

This letter was drafted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to thank those artists who participated in the music festival for their significant contributions to the cultural exchange between Japan and Vietnam. The Minister for Foreign Affairs was originally supposed to hand out the documents, however the Chief Cabinet Secretary did it instead due to scheduling conflicts.

At the ceremony, 15 artists including Godai Natsuko, AKB48’s Takahashi Minami and Watanabe Mayu, Koda Kumi, EXILE, AAA, and w-inds. attended.

As the group’s representative, EXILE’s HIRO said, “We are thankful to receive this honored letter. We will continue to try our best through entertainment. Also, I truly respect Sugi-san’s great feat.”

After the ceremony, AKB48’s Takahashi Minami commented, “I don’t think I will get another opportunity to visit this place [the prime minister's official residence] in my entire life.  I’m honored to receive this wonderful prize.”  She continued with a smile, “I was very nervous.”  Koda Kumi also said, “This is like a dream. Thank you very much.”

JAPAN BANNED JYJ from Performing ON TV Broadcast!

It is an unofficial report about of JYJ is being "BAN" from all media for example, news, newspaper, TV broadcast, dramas, radio and many other medias. When the news of 80,000 audience "SOLD OUT" concerts were held at OSAKA, SAPPORO,TOKYO and more location, none of the Japan media had reported it.

JYJ FANS DONATED 8.38 TON OF RICE, ENOUGH TO FEED THE MOUTHS OF 70,000 PEOPLE
Pasted from <http://www.hellokpop.com/2010/10/14/jyj-fans-donated-8-38-ton-of-rice-enough-to-feed-the-mouths-of-70000-people/>

These are "Good Deed" and yet the Japanese has no gratitude towards the JYJ's supporters. I am wondering should we continue to help this country continuously?

That is the awaken call that I feared AVEX has controlled the whole of Japan media. Is this crucify of JYJ going to last forever? I wonder is money so important that "Justice" is no longer needed in the Japan. Since Japan needed a whole lot of money and power to fix their own mistake for building the Nuclear Power Plant (melting), caused by earthquake. By the way, Japan is restarting the Nuclear Power Plant even the nuclear waste is not in the safety level, they let the children made a playground at there. Unfortunately, the present Japan is weak with such a need of money and power, so SM Entertainment took adventure of the situation using "Money" and the contact deal of "SNSD" to  bribe the Japan AVEX. With the help of AVEX of cause the deal went smoothly with a few optical .

How would you think of the Japan right now?   

Would want to sign a contact with AVEX or SME with a 13 years contact with same salary?

FINALLY JYJ IN JAPAN 80,000 FANS CONCERT!

JYJ recently held their exclusive concert in Japan.

On the 17th, JYJ held their concert, ‘JYJ Unforgettable Live Concert in Japan 2011′ on the 15th and the 16th in Japan.

Over eighty thousand fans from many Japanese cities, including, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, and more came to see the concert. Because of all the fans coming to the venue, the neighborhood traffic was completely backed up.

JYJ sang many songs from their worldwide album The Beginning and their Korean special album In Heaven.

JYJ’s wonderful performances received explosive responses. Even though it was raining, tens of thousands of fans supported JYJ with thunderous applause.

Tomioka kyoko says, “I love JYJ so much. I was so happy I could get front row seats.”

Gomi says, “My wife and daughter love JYJ very much so I started to like their songs too. I’m excited to see the concert.”

Zuno, Kim Jun Su’s brother and a singer who is active in Japan, and Japanese soccer player Miura Kazuyoshi’s family visited the concert as well.

JYJ says, “We really wanted to meet our Japanese fans. We felt their love and they encouraged us.”

JYJ will go on a European tour soon.

TVQS the Love, the Hate, & the Unbearable Separation 111016 Maximum TVXQ DANCE PRACTICE

From this video, we can see that the "Maximum" was mean to be all 5 members to sing. Unfortunately, JYJ wanted to go international rather then staying in only Japan & Korea & Asia market. I must say it is the right decision at least there are more people around the globe know TVXQ through JYJ. The songs that JYJ produce is so much like their style of music, instate of being a copycat style. They voice out their feeling through the songs they have written. This show us that they still human being, just like us.

LOVE:

Jaejoong who love directing is now, doing his directing their JYJ's Concert Stages.

Yoochun who love acting is now, acting in a few dramas but because of the obstacle from SM Entertainment, KBS is under fire between SME and the JYJ's Fans.

Junsu who love musical performance is now, doing his musical play "Mozar!" or "Tears of Heaven".

Now, they are flying in the sky with limitless space for them to move on.

HATE:

The song "Maximum" that you had just heard is for 5 members to sing but now you know why there is a hate going on. The SME originally wanted 5 members to promote this song but ending up to change this song to 2 members sang it. Changmin is having a hard time singing it, 2/3 of the song is sang by him (need more staminate).This song "Maximum" is actually similar to the song " Rising Sun" 2:20. When Jaejoong got his leg injured, he was so depressed. Thanks to the man in mask for helping with the firming.

I bought the CD/VCD that why I clearly remember. They are my first KPOP artists, I bought.

Check it out!

HATE:

I do not know why at this time they let this video out. May be SME wanted to steal the JYJ's market share, or Yunho or Changmin wanted to tell JYJ, they still wanted to be together. Unfortunately, they don't have the guts to do this at all. I think is the SME told them to do "it". SME well know a control freak entertainment company. Do you know that they even take away your own handphone from you and check your calls and sms? No privacy! I heard this from"SHINEE" members and they think that it is all right?!! Look at how they have washed their brains. I pity them. They look like "Dog" being control by the "Owner". They are "Human Beings". What the hell!

PT:

What had happened happened.

We can't change the past.

Now we can do is change for a better future and don't make the same mistake.

WARNING!

Japan right now is trying to start their Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant again which the radiation is still in none safety level. They even let their own children playing in the "None safety" Zone. MY GOD! These people are crazy. The government is beyond hope.
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/nuclear-contamination-found-beyond-japan-no-zone-002735858.html
AVEX is not helping the country. I mean they are the "TOP" earning in JAPAN. I wonder...
Why did they stop JYJ from doing "Donation" Concerts?
$$$ "MONEY THOSE ARE OUR MONEY!" I think this is what is in their mind.

SEPARATION:

To: JYJ

Even we are separated; you will always be in my mind

Whenever, wherever you go.

Just let it be and fly as far as you can reach to reach the Heaven.

Hope will always be your side.

Remember, you are my Hope.
I will always be your side.

WARNING! Producers and Song Writers Beware of copy write. If you got one, register it. No matter what!

As you can see there are more and more Entertainment companies are merging.
This come with the problem of our beloved artists and entertainers being dirty by who knows what the reasons are.
The songs they sing may end up to be by some other Producers and Song Writers, then the so call "the Producers and Song Writers".
I'm not trying to scare anyone by to tell the truth that are such cases. For example, the infamous case of

"CAMBODIA COPYCATS’ shinee's 'ring ding dong' ".

Serbian female singer Jelena Karleusa kinda copied SHINee’s Lucifer tunes and titled as  “Muskarac koji mrzi zene”. SM are actually opening up and investigation about it. So I strongly believe that SHINee was again, a victim of plagiarism. 

Until now, the case was somehow dissolve without me knowing it. 

I don't want our beloved idols to be blame for something they didn't intend to do.

Here are a few clips of  plagiarize songs:

CAMBODIA COPYCATS’ SHINEE'S 'RING DING DONG' ".

Did SHINEE plagiarize JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE?

Serbian female singer Jelena Karleusa kinda copied SHINee’s Lucifer tunes and titled as  “Muskarac koji mrzi zene”

SHINEE "LUCIFER"

U BE THE JUDGE!
