TVXQ banned in Japan?

TVXQ KPOP Korean Music

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)

Japanese are just ashamed that Koreans like Boa and DBSK can go into Japan and succeed, but a Japanese artist could never come to Korea and get any support from our fans. Let little kids be little kids, screw there music station, the #1 rankings are proof enough smile.

That’s just stupid. I guess DBSK is too great of a threat, which only means that they are PRETTY DAMN GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO then. DBSK FIGHTING!

Watch Gackt perform at MKMF 2007.

@wizkid..
i think johnny’s is like a japanese version of SM. only..from what i’ve heard/read, johnny’s is alot worse. like apparently if you think SM artists are taken way advantage of/overworked and that lee soo man is a fucking monster, johnny and his artists are 100000000x that. someone correct me if i’m wrong.
and i don’t think SM has actually gotten a singer/band BANNED from any network…


i know that dbsk is talented as hell but i think someone pointed out that johnny’s bands get #1 regardless of the competetion? i hate to be the one to burst any fangirl bubbles…but hasn’t tohoshinki released their singles on dates wehre they know there shouldn’t be that much competition? isn’t that why thsi recent one was released earlier…?
again, someone correct me if i’m wrong…

@ leelee, everything you said was right (from what I know anyway). Johnny Ent. is the SM of Japan. Over time, SM will be just like them though. Something else you said was true too. TVXQ releases their albums/singles around very convenient times because they know if they go against a more popular group they won’t rank as high. I’m glad about their success and I LOVE them but I think Johnny Ent. could care less about them. They sell hundreds of thousands of singles. They’re too busy counting their money to care about threats to their artists.

Whatever, Music Station’s loss.

The arrogance without backing on some of these posts is disgusting though, you aren’t as hot as you think, mmkay?

leelee, you are right about the TVXQ releases. Avex decided to move their release date one week earlier so they would not have to release with big competition. If they had released the first release date, they would’ve gotten #3 (as Hey!Say!JUMP and aiko have sold 150k and 70k this week).

this is old news. a lot of boybands were banned from MS. dont get to excited

 
changminwhore's avatar

To be considered a threat to JE boybands in Japan is actually quite an honor! LOL! Go Tohoshinki, kick some JE ass! (JE bands are horrible anyways!)
*runs to hide her anti-JE*

 
no avatar

DUH~ it’s pretty obvious that JE hates any other boyband that isn’t under him and is a threat to his pretty boys. W-inds during their peak sold much more than DBSK but was also never invited.

@leelee: Actually - SM got banned from Music Core XD

Yeah, it sucks that TVXQ (or any other group) can’t appear on Music Station, but it makes a lot of sense. MS is basically owned by JE. Why would they help promote their own competition? It’s all about business.

Besides, DBSK doesn’t need to appear on the show to continue being popular. They’re rising as we speak. And MS is boring anyways. I’d rather watch them on Heyx3. :D

they see dbsk as a threat? doesnt that say something about the boys n their talent n populartiy?
but still, not considering dbsk for music station or any show is a huge loss n just effing stupid, i mean, who wouldnt want dbsk? they r delicious n very talented!
not so sure about the underlying of this craziness, but if this true, the fans better do something to make those damn bastards realize how much they need dbsk

 
Bluecat's avatar

HAHA
It only proves how great they are
sure i love a bit of NEWs, KAT-TUN, Arashi fix every now and then
but Johnny’s boys could never beat TVXQ
TVXQ/THSK are gonna be recieving even MORE recognition which can only do them good wink
if that theory is true than the Johnny’s are patheticccc
THSK FTW wink

 
denwa's avatar

Yeah, well… Basically, if you get Johnny’s Ent. mad, you die, so this believable.

 
crikket99's avatar

@HPDANM-why the heck are you talking about their heights, is that relevant whatsoever.

@Smartmediaxd-correct me if I’m wrong, but I heard somewhere that the reason why Korean artists goes to Japan, is because they weren’t making as much money in Korea. So why would Japanese artists wanna go to Korea. Lol about Japanese artists not being able to get any support in Korea, anybody else remember Yamapi getting mauled by Korean fans. whatev.

Anywho I agree that DBSK has tons more talent than most Johnny’s (exception of Tokio and Arashi-personal preference lol).  But in the end it’s Japan, and Johnny’s has a lot of power, and the emaciated Japanese boy look will always be popular in Japan, lol.

 
foofoo's avatar

I’m not a huge DBSK fan but i can say that they definitely have more talent and influence on asian pop culture than Johnny’s though I do love K8…wouldn’t be surprised if Johnny-san did have a secret pact cuz he is really shady and a pedo :/

 
anna_molly's avatar

If this is true, then it explained everything. I am a big fan of music station but I always wonder why DBSK is not on the show. Well, they did showed up at music station once, but with Koda Kumi. They performed Last Angel. No wonder there are always Johnny’s boys on the show a lot.

 
night's avatar

It just proves that DBSK is the best!

JE is scared of competition, when it comes to DBSK.

 
kfan's avatar

wtf????that’s soooo unfair..guess someone cant take the heat huh???
dbsk sing wayyy better than johnny’s when it comes to live performance.. i always thought news r smexy but plz dont make me watch their live pformance…total nightmare…
i did watched when dbsk performed with koda kumi..dang, they make them appeared like a backup dancers to koda kumi..really pissed me off..

DBSK fighting!!!

Ha, banned in Japan? What would all the fangirls do? It’s like asking them to not breath! I also think it’s total BS but you gotta do what you gotta do.

 
Icecreamsoda93's avatar

DBSK doesn’t need music station,
sure it would be freaking amazing, but they’re fine without it.
And then when DBSK rules the world music station will beg for them to go on the show and they’ll politely refuse =D
chyeahh thats right..no one messes with DONG BANG SHIN KI. <33
It’s a good thing that JE thinks they are a threat..that means they are recognized.

 
no avatar

lol, sounds like japan pulled a KOREA on ‘em! haha. Seriously, it’s sad that in this day and age crap like this is still going on. It’s reminiscent of what MTV did to Michael Jackson back in the day. They’ll be okay without Music Station. By the way, what kind of crummy name for a show is “Music Station”? I’m going to start a show too and call it “TV Show”.

 
HEROine's avatar

woah…the boys are definitely a threat to JE’s boys… tsktsk.. at least they are still no.1..dunwori oppas..

this just prooves how much of a whimp JE is ! Gr0w some balls JOhnny !!!! sheesh !! cant handle the dong bang power??

 
HEROine's avatar

and i think SM would be the only one affected..the dong bang boys are probably like, “one less show=1 rest day !”

that is so futile and lame.i didnt know such poor marketing strategy existed.

@leelee:
ah, thank you for the info. i mentioned sm in regards to rumors/speculation that they would do whatever they could to get G.O.D off the air during their heyday.

that’s stupid, how could htey pose as a threat, how stupid, well i wouldn’t be surprised if korea did do the same thing that japan did, dbsk can’t help it that they made it to the oricon charts four times, what the heck is wrong with the johnny dude?

 
pupluvgurl's avatar

I guess Johnny’s just can stand the competition…pft…DBSK can make it to #1 without appearing on Music Station so in your faces Johnnys!

well, I’m both jpop and kpop fan.. and I’m sad to see too many je bashing going on here. but what can you expect from kpop community who some of them dont even know je ent.

actually they are not that bad. although dbsk is better in the singing dept but I rather watch them than dbsk. imo they have much more stage presence on concert and tv shows. idk

for this issue, not only dbsk that arent invited on MS. a lot jpop boybands (some that are much bigger than dbsk in jpn) also face the same thing. so dbsk fans.. dont get too excited with this. its nothing special. this info is already long well known in jpop community

stevewonder06's avatar

Well i’m glad that this shows that DBSK is more popular but it’s still unfair. and yea JE Entertainment isn’t bad i mean NEWS and ARASHI are cool lol but i don’t like the other groups JE has. I agree with everything leelee and ~Loco_Roco~ said. Also i agree that if JE pretty much owns MS than why should they promote “competition?” It just makes some sense. Still pretty jacked up but makes sense lol i don’t even know what i just typed there.XDD

@crikket

wow you don’t say, fangirls? Who cares what they think, you know the public of Korea as in the male population and the older people? They hate Japanese stuff and always have, and you can keep blabbing on, I lived there you didn’t, if you wanna prove otherwise then give me some concrete stuff…

that’s right… they are a threat. i’ll even admit, i used to be a fan of kat-tun. on youtube, i found some video comparing the two groups; obviously stating that tvxq was better and ever since i haven’t listened to kat-tun.

but a couple weeks ago, i listened to kat-tun’s new song or something and i couldn’t hold in my laughter. they seem like a joke compared to them.

 
no avatar

to leelee: the toho boys did once get head-to-head with a JE group. it was Summer Dream. they topped the JEkids for the daily but only came in 2nd for weekly.
im a die-hard fan who’s mostly blinded by biasedness; but i can admit that Toho still cant compete [at least not yet] with the major JE groups like NewS, kattun, etc. so yeah, I dont think they’ve released a single in same week as those groups mentioned.

Hasn’t there been tension between Japan and Korea alone for awhile?
