TVXQ banned in Japan?

According to S-San's Blog (a Japanese staff member for TVXQ/Tohoshinki/DBSK) the rumor that TVXQ has been blocked from Music Station was confirmed. On his blog he wondered why TVXQ was on Music Station's #1 list this week, yet weren't invited to perform. Music Station is a highly popular music show in Japan, similar to MTV's TRL here in the states.
Rumors and conspiracy theories were created when TVXQ received many #1's on both the Oricon Daily and Weekly charts, yet weren't invited to the Music Station show. Almost every other artist who were in the top 10 let alone the artists who've reached #1 were invited to perform. Many people believe the reason for this is because Johnny's Entertainment has a secret pact with Music Station. Some people think that TVXQ poses a threat to Johnny's therefore the non-invites.
This is an unfortunate situation, but at the same time if the situations were reversed - I could see Korea doing the same thing to a Japanese artist. (thanks to Melissa & Sandra for the tip)

especially when they dont much about the JE groups at all, much less listen to them seriously w/ an open mind. i used to be one of those who called them talentless just because of their agency. but i really listened to them and was proven wrong. those boys work hard and nonstop, just like dbsk does so dont insult them so readily, so easily. oh, as for the easy choreo, its done for the fans. its made easy so fans can do the movements in concerts and perfs. anyways, to paraphrase someone before…
