A: Make-up tools, being able to apply make-up by myself is very useful and I use it a lot.
Q: What is your feeling after finishing the Japan Tour?
A: While doing 14 performances and enjoying the stages, we didn’t only become one with the audience, we learned a lot that nobody will understand if they don’t experience it directly.
While touring around I feel like I was able to grow a lot. I’m happy that I also got a bit better in Japanese. But I’m still not that good yet…From now on I will put more and more effort in showing everyone an amazing performance.

[News] U-Know Yunho’s Chest is Scratched bec of Changmin's aggressiveness
Choikang Changmin has left a wound on U-Know Yunho’s chest.
On September 15th, a photo of TVXQ was uploaded on an online community guestboard, with the title “The love from the little brother, who got a little too excited, towards his elder brother”.
The photo was taken when TVXQ was actively promoting “Why (Keep Your Head Down)”. It was taken during the part where Choikang Changmin was pushing against U-Know Yunho’s chest. However, because the strength of Choikang Changmin’s hand was so huge, a reddish wound was formed on U-Know Yunho’s chest.
The uploader of the photo wrote the following words, “Changmin oppa, please use lesser force. Is it because you got used to having to push him every day, that you unwittingly used too much strength this time?”, expressing her concern for U-Know Yunho’s wound.
Netizens who saw TVXQ’s photo commented, “Perhaps it’s because they are so focused on doing their best on the stage for their performance and song, he couldn’t control his strength”, “Your sense of observation is amazing”, “Both of them are working very hard. Looking at it, it’s great”, “The battle scene is always delightful. Why do I feel like watching the performance again?”.
In other news, on September 10th, TVXQ was invited to the Lacoste 2012 S/S Collection held at New York’s Lincoln Center. They took part in the event as Korea’s representative, showing off their fashionista appearance.

[News] Mystery Solved, Park Bom to Appear in GD-Top's First Japanese Single
A few days ago, Bom made a rare update to her me2day instantly causing tongues to wag. Aside from the amazingly stunning set of selcas, Lady Spring hinted at a big surprise. This line in particular, "I gave up my holidays to (do something) secretly? " made Blackjacks curious as to what was going on. Shortly thereafter, a crafty fan spotted Bom at Jeju Airport together with none other than her frequent collaborators, G-Dragon and Top.
Source: jaibbong@Twitter
Without direct confirmation from YGE though, fans could not be sure what exactly their trip was for. The popular suspicion was that Bom and the boys were filming a music video, likely for "Oh Yeah". It looks like those suspicions were 100% correct as YGEX has announce that the label's first release will be Big Bang subunit GD & Top's debut Japanese single.
(Promotion Photos for the new release )
The single will include Japanese versions of "Oh Yeah feat. Park Bom" as well as "High High". One version of the single (out of 5) will also include a DVD containing the music video for "Oh Yeah" as well as a behind-the-scenes video and mini booklet. The single is currently scheduled for release on November 9th. Hopefully, fans will get a chance to see the music video prior to the single's release.
While others were relaxing this past weekend, looks like our darling Bommie was hard at work filming what is sure to be another wonderful music video.

[News] Super Junior, Kim Hee-Chul enjoys the memorable Choo-Seok at KATC!
When people of our traditional holiday 'Choo-Seok', they usually think of gathering family, traditional foods. However, for training recruits, spending Choo-Seok at KATC makes them miss thier family more and more. Approximately 120-thousands of recruits are training at KATC. How do they spend Choo-Seok, here?
At Korea Army Training Center, KATC offers an opportunity for recruits, who are spending a Korean traditional holiday away from their family, to enjoy Choo-Seok; KATC held many different exercises for recruits to participate, so that they don't need to miss thier families so much.
Also, Kim Hee-Chul, who joined KATC little late at his age of 29, spent a special and memorable Choo-Seok with other recruits. He said hello to all his fans, and additionally he said, "I'm doing well with other recruits, here. I hope all my fans behave well to their parents and family."

[News] Taiwan concert organiser Super Dome praises SNSD!
SNSD had just successfully concluded their three concerts in Taipei, Taiwan at the Taipei Arena from September 9th to 11th, as part of their 2011 Girls’ Generation Tour.
A representative
from the concerts organizer, Super Dome, left a message on their
website on the morning of September 14th, praising the girls for their
professionalism and excellent performances.
The translation of the message is as follows:
Let’s Go Soshi, Let’s Go! (claps twice)
It has been an epic three days.
Truth be told, I saw more of SONEs than Soshi in these three days!
Let’s talk about the girls first.
In this second tour, it is quite obvious that the eight girls are enjoying their performances in Taiwan more compared to last year. The staff also felt their happiness from the moment they landed in Taiwan as they were singing happily in the vehicles and no one had the chance to sleep! It was really merry!
The girls had their concert rehearsal on September 8th and they rehearsed from 6.30pm to 10.50pm later that night. Everyone was rehearsing seriously, especially for their solo performances.
(Too bad Sooyoung couldn’t be there to perform her beautiful and sexy ballroom dance!)
Compared to the rehearsal of the first tour last year, each and everyone of the girls were more certain of their positions during performances, as well as their interactions.
I can still remember their rehearsal during the first tour last year. It was half a year since their previous concert in their tour so the members’ positions were off during rehearsal and they kept bumping into one another (laughs). Their improvements over a year is really amazing!
9/9, 9/10, 9/11
Throughout the three days of concert, I was quite worried about the girls’ staminas, just in case anyone gets too fatigued from the performances…
However, miraculously, the girls performed more and more passionately over the three days! SONEs’ loving support and cheers were the best battery for the girls!
In this second tour, the girls were not only performing on stage but they were also having lots fun! They interacted and played with each other and with SONEs too! It should be every fan’s dream to see their favourite artistes perform on stage, as well as enjoy and have fun while doing so!
The girls’ Chinese (Mandarin) improved a lot during this second tour and this certainly showed their sincerity. Looking at every girl and their Chinese speeches during the concert, I think their Chinese skills probably improved ten times compared to the first tour!
I must specially mention Hyoyeon’s Chinese. She wrote “I love you all!” in Chinese on the “Soshi fridge” along with her signature and her handwriting was very pretty! Hyoyeon was really cute and confident during her performances in Taipei. On the last day of the concert, the girls were busy putting icing from the birthday cake on her face but she still managed to smile blissfully and ate the cake and icing on her face. This goes to show how much she appreciated the birthday surprise SONEs prepared for her.
In this second tour, I think every girl did very well and scored extra points. Everyone looked like dolls who came out from their MVs but they were far cuter and friendlier in real life. (It’s not fair! and yet we’re all females…)
I’ll just write about the girls today. Will write about SONEs soon. I am flying to Nanjing for Jolin Tsai’s concert today… Because of Soshi, I didn’t dare to leave Taiwan for quite some time…
There will be a third tour, so please don’t worry about it! Also, people asked if Super Dome recorded footages from the concert. The answer? Yes we did film some, to supply to the media. However, the footages are only for media’s usage and we definitely do not have the rights to produce a DVD. We do not have the confidence to produce one as well but we will try to discuss it with the Korean side.
