The Best 5000 Word Interview!!
From the best album to love stories.
BEST SELECTION 2010

- It’s been 5 years since their debut in Japan. Everyone was still an innocent teenager and now their all grownups!
Now their releasing their complete first best album but out of the best we had them to pick their “best of the best”.

Yunho: Umm… there’s so many…it’s hard to pick but I’d have to pick “Summer Dream”. The reason is because this song was the first song Tohoshinki got number one for the Oricon daily chart. When we heard the news we were shooting the cover for the next song “Shine” but I was so happy that during the photo shoot I couldn’t stop smiling. And “Shine”’s CD cover was supposed to be cool looking so it was so hard to hold it in *laughs*. That time all the works we did in Japan came back to me like a Para-Noma.

Changmin: I pick “Share The World”. This was the theme song for the Anime “One Piece” for awhile and in Japan its a really famous anime so it didn’t seem clear to me but its true that we sang the theme song. It really felt nice to have that mysterious feeling.

JaeJoong: I pick “Share the World” too. Because its a really fun song! Also the anime “One Piece” is really funny! By the way my favorite character from “One Piece” is Luffy but for the girl its Nami-chan. She acts like a bad person bu shes actually a really good girl you know. So… oh sorry the theme shifted. *laughs*

Junsu: I choose “Mirotic”. We’ve challenged a lot of different genres but this song feels like Tohoshinki the most. How its powerful, and cool…in many ways I think “Mirtoic” is the most Tohoshinki-ish!

Yoochun: I pick “begin”!! The reason is because its the last song in the CD. Isn’t it kid of sad that its the last song in the CD but the title is “begin”. It ignores the CD’s flow. *laughs* …. I’m just kidding about that but I honestly like this song. The image I get from this music and lyrics seems to right for the end.

- What is the song that you would want the person you like to listen to?

Yoochun: Again but I pick “begin”. I want to play the piano quietly and let her listen to it. Last year at the Tokyo Dome Concert I played it on the piano but… *shy* But sadly there’s no one to play it for in my private life..
I want to have that new fun feeling. sigh…

Jaejoong: I pick “begin” too. Because the lyrics is beautiful. I want to try saying “今君と僕はbegin” ( right now you and I begin) it at least once!

Yunho: I like “begin” too but “Stand by U” is good too but just by the title “Why did I fall in love with you” (Doushite) is also good too.But there all sad songs. Tohoshinki has alot of songs that means “go forward with your precious one” so out of that i think i pick “明日は来るから” (Tomorrow will come). I like how it has the meaning “even though there hard times tomorrow will come”.

Junsu: I also pick “明日は来るから” (Asu We Kuru Kara). We sing a lot of different types of love songs but this song is the most straight forwarded song with the meaning “I want to protect you”. I think itd be nice if you let the person you like listen to it. When it comes to love I’m the type that wants to protect that person so. But when it comes to other than love there’s times when I want to be protected *laughs*

Changmin: I choose “beautiful you”. I have a lot of memories for that song so I picked it as the members choice.

-We had you pick one song but what kind of feeling do you have towards the best album overall? It must feel different from releasing a normal album.

Yunho: As of right now it really makes me feel like “wow, we really did work hard” And mostly it feels like it shows how much the fans loves us. It means that this best album is made by out efforts and by the fans and everyone’s love.

Junsu: Yeah, to release an best it means that you released a lot of good songs and a lot of people had to listen to it and have to want to listen to it. that makes me happy.

Changmin: from our debut song to our newest song every new song we release you can see our growth. The best album is something you can really feel that. There are songs that has been in our previous albums but it feels like a different song… I don’t know how to say it but it’s really filled with memories. Bests are nice.

Yoochun: At first I thought “do we even have enough songs to make a best!?” and I went through all of our single CD’s and I was so surprised to have so much songs! So i was really happy.

Jaejoong: It’s not enough with the songs that are in the best! I want to add like 10 more songs! ahaha but it wont be a best album then huh!

-With the songs I think everyone grew too. If you can tell us “as a man” how you guys think of yourselves. If you can start with your good point and bad point.

Jaejong: My good thing? Good thing… umm how I don’t think that I’m the most important. I’m not those type. I’m constantly thinking about someone else. That’s why I cant reject people. I don’t want to hurt the other person so I tend to accept anything. The blood type O people seem to be like that. This is a secret but I get really stressed. I hold it in and hold it in and then I explode! saying “I was holding it in the whole time!” *laughs* that’s why people say I’m scary when I get mad.

Yoochun: My good thing is that I have a warm heart *laughs*. My bad thing is that lately I don’t want to get out of my house. I kind of got bored of going out.

Junsu: I don’t have a good thing. *laughs* Well I don’t notice it myself. What people say about me is that I’m decisive. and I’m usually a positive person. My bad thing is …. I don’t have any *laughs* that’s a lie. I have a lot. The most is that I hate to lose even if it’s something small. I’ll never accept that I lost. But lately I grew up and I don’t get as mad but as a guy it’s not a bad thing not to want to lose right!?

Yunho: Once I get into something I really concentrate on that. and I’ll never give up until I achieve it. I think I’m a passionate person. I tend to not be able to see anything but that though. Even if everyone’s calling me. most of the time i cant hear it. Overall i guess i have a manly personality and… I don’t know. So I don’t understand how girl are feeling a lot *embarrassed* . I think I’m romantic in my very own way but girls are hard..

Changmin: I don’t know if i should say it myself but including the bad parts about myself I like myself. I’m a complete blood type B and is short tempered but because I have this side in me I think that it brings out my good side. I’m usually quiet and shy person but once we become really close I talk a lot and can have a lot of fun. I think my type is that with a small group pf people I get to know them deeply taking time. Overall it means that everything except my bad part s all good. Although of course that’s a joke *laughs*

- Okay now what kind of guys are you when it comes to love?

Yunho: I’m the type who completely gets into it and cant see anything around me! … but I haven’t had a lot of relationships so I don’t really know.

Yoochun: I used to be like that too. Someone who falls completely into them. Once I like someone I always thought “it’s her for sure!” but now I can listen to what people around me tell me since falling completely into them didn’t work out.

Junsu: I’m both. I have experienced both falling deeply into her and being really calm. My surroundings really effect how I can have a relationship so I really don’t know how its going to change. But if I can want to not think about it too much and be natural.

Changmin: For me the only time I couldn’t see anything around me was only my first love. After that I’m calm. At least not so into her to the point it effects my work. Only my first love was um… I was crazed about falling in love *laughs bitterly*

Jaejoong: I think I’m different depending on that person. If that person is aggressive maybe I’ll be become aggressive too. But if not I think I’ll become more simple. But any type of girl I’ll protect her no matter what. That’s why I work out to become strong *laughs* In Japan right now grazing boys (non-aggressive boys) are popular but I think guys should be able to protect the girl so i want to be a carnivorous boy (aggressive boys).

- What about everyone else? How would you protect a girl?

Changmin: If it’s during our date and we got attacked if that was the situation then I’ll put my girlfriend in a taxi first and let her go. Then even if I run away desperately she won’t see me *laughs*

Junsu: I would carry my girlfriend and run!! I’m fast at running so I have the confidence to be able to run away!!

Yoochun: If I had to think really realistic I would have my girlfriend call my manager and while she’s calling I’ll fight and try to make time. I used to do Taekwondo so I think I can stop it for a little while.

Yunho: I used to do Aikido so I'd fight too. Oh but maybe its not good to fight as an artist huh. Well it’s bodyguard! yeah bodyguard. The most important thing is my girlfriend’s feelings and safety!

- You guys are all so reliable! At last what kind of guy do you want to be?

Yunho: I say this a lot but who I look up to the most is my father. Like my father I want to be able to give many people courage. That’s why I’m doing volunteer work right now. But out of all my dreams this is the most important.

Changmin: I want to be a guy who can make a warm family. In order to achieve that I need more that love. To be realistic I need to be strong and have money.

Jaejoong: I want to be a young dad. *shy* I want to drop/pick my child from school. But the world is full with danger so I’m scared to to be a girls dad, so I want a boy.

Yoochun: I want to be a man with confidence. It seems like someone with confidence knows what they need to do at that time.

Junsu: Same with me. I want to have confidence towards everything. And hopefully if I can be able to continue singing.



I Like These Kind of HairStyle!

Changmin: While saying “I’m not good” he finished right away. “I want the length to be somewhat longer than her shoulders. A little wavey and the color is somewhat brown *laughs*” The word “somewhat” seemed to be his boom.

Yunho: “I’m bad at drawing” he said as he smiled wryly. “I like longer hair length and I made the hair color black but I don’t have any special feelings for it. And I like wavy hair that looks natural.” As he looked at his finished drawing he started to laugh saying “ahaha it’s a ghost!”.

Jaejoong: After finish thinking for a while, with a soft touch he started to draw carefully. “I like girls when their hair comes to about their chest and I like the color brown more. Also after shampooing and drying her hair I like the natural curl that faces outside.”

Yoochun: “I’m bad at drawing” he repeated over and over while drawing. “I like girls with no bangs. I prefer black but whatever that matches is fine. Unless it’s like blonde. I don’t like girls who act cute. I like natural girls.”

Junsu: He was choosing pens and carefully drawing. “These days I like girls who can look cute,feminine,and sexy. It’s a little Japanese people-ish. *laughs*”

The image of ViVi? Imagining a date with a girl? With the pose you like, say cheese!!

Yunho who was in the picture with the Rika-chan doll, thinking and said “the camera should be here”. After thinking and trying different poses he chose to let her bend one leg back! While Changmin was picking a pose quietly he had so much power that the dolls shoes fell off. As he was saying “ah… it’s so hard” he chose the “model pose”. Jaejoong who let the doll pose naturally said he seemed to be sure that he did well saying “it looks good”. Yoochun who right away let the doll look like shes was turning around said “this was the pose that came to my head first”. Even the staffs were saying “how cute”. On the other hand funny Junsu made the doll do the splits. Everyone there started to crack up. He tried to take the picture so that it’ll come out nice and took pictures over and over.
