TVXQ to release new single album
44 CommentsDe La Methode in News | 14 Apr 2008 - 12:13 PM
TVXQ / DBSK will release their 22nd single and 7th this year titled "Beautiful You" (see music video) on April 23rd. This single is the theme song from "The Story of the First King's Four Gods", a drama series staring Japan-megastar Bae Yong joon (Yonsama).
In a April 12th report of Japan Oricon News, the most interested demographic for this new single album are females in the 20 - 40 year old range. Last year in a survey regarding awareness of TVXQ, their singles were recognized by 56.7% of the survey group, this year they were recognized by 69.8%.
Because of the popularity of TVXQ, the high sales of their previous singles, and the popularity of the drama "The Story of the First King's Four Gods" - expectations in terms of sales are high for this latest single.
Look at TVXQ catching on fire, too bad the only thing catching fire for SS501 is their clothes. SS501 should keep their mouth shut next time.

I like their purple line single better but it hasn’t stopped me from pre-ordering their beautiful you single off of HMV Japan. I guess this is geared more towards their older audience, hopefully the obbasans can push them to Oricon weekly #1 again.

Beautiful You is miles better than all of their previous TRICK singles combined. As much as I love TVXQ, those releases did nothing for me. Anyhow, I love this song. (already pre-ordered a copy!) Hopefully they can grab the #1 weekly again, so they could go back to Korea with smiles on their faces.

Why do they release so many singles in Japan? I can’t remeber the last time i saw an american single for sale.

that’s kind of mean…I know they won’t say that to double S, they’re friends…
@ nozomi…I think that’s their strategy even in Korea…they released singles first and then albums…
I already pre-ordered mine…ahehe^^
can’t wait for it…

@ Nozomi: The japanese audience tends to forgets groups, especially foreign groups, after a certain period of time. Therefore, Avex’s strategy is to continually release singles so that DBSG gets recognized and not forgotten.
The song is okay, but I definitely loved their vocals. Junsu’s singing at the end during one of their T concerts got me to buy the single. The music video is rather smart and very clever, despite my first impression that it wasn’t that appealing.

@taejus…oh…ahehe…
I may seem overrating them…but in groups…their vocals and harmonization is the best there is…ahehe…

the releasing of singles before albums that HPDANM is talking about is geared more toward new coming groups. New coming groups release singles before their debut album in order to get the word out and make them more known to the public before their official debut. But i guess it can also be a strategy for major comebacks for other artists as well.

I think this is one of the songs that is meant to be performed live. I wasn’t really into it when the MV came out, but I really like it now after hearing them perform it live. Their recent performance on Heyx3 was great, short but great.

check this out.
DBSG was mentioned in CNN. Suju was also mentioned. But mostly, it was dbsg. They showed some of their performances and such.
http://edition.cnn.com/video/
Go to this page. There will be a spot with a lot of videos. Scroll down and click on World Report - ‘Entertainment’ 2. DBSG is featured somewhere in the middle. CNN had a longer segment on them than other artists.

bobalicious: “One” is my favorite Korean ballad of theirs, lol. “Insa” is also up there among my favorites. Jaejoong’s voice in “Insa” is <3.
glasspearl: I watched the video last night! They were also in ‘Entertainment’ 1 for about 10 seconds. The announcer said something about the modern day Beatles mania. :X

here’s the direct link http://edition.cnn.com/video/?/video/world/2008/04/13/wr.2.entertainment.cnn
Missy: I watched this a while, too. It was interesting watching them on CNN news.
My favorite of DBSG would have to be the a cappella versions of Whatever They Say, Always, and Hug. Practically all of their a cappella songs are on the top of my list. Love in the Ice still remains one of my very favorite. I like the songs that showcase their singing abilities.

LOL saw the MV i thot it was boring, but the track itself is nice. the ending where junsu performed was painful to watch when he belted the notes with veins on his throat, but it was good. =D sadly i don’t rly buy singles.. just albums, dvds, photobooks, and random jewelries XDDD.
@glasspearl: lol.. i saw that while browsing soomp. it was funny tho how the guy kept going SUJU when it was clearly dbsk’s clips XDDD but yea, it was cool to see them on CNN wooo.

^ BoA has had a few arena tours. her 2008 ‘the face’ arena tour kicks off this may.

BoA’s arena tours’re bigger than DBSG’s. DBSG’s live tour don’t take place in arena, but venue (or something… if i’m not wrong) and a arena’s way larger than venue.
Beautiful You’s good, but a bit genetic

Be. TVXQ’s 2008 Live Concert takes place in ARENAS. It covers 9 major cities from March 19 to May 6. They have a total of 17 performances with an estimated audience of at least 150,000. The Arenas covered are: Yokohama Arena, Hiroshima Green Arena, etc. and will culminate at the Saitama Super Arena that has a maximum capacity of 37,000. Tickets to Saitama Super Arena were sold out due to pre-booking 1 second after on-line selling started. Producers had to add two additional Saitama Super Arena concert dates and tickets to both dates sold out just minutes after it was made available. I should know because my best friend tried to scamper for them to no avail and had to pay vigil to auction sites to finally secure one.

^Thank you. i didn’t know. i’ve heard about one-second soldout news but i didn’t know it was an arena *bad fan* *embarrassed*. being able to perform in arenas means they’ve gone a long way in Japan.

@HPDANM
I’m happy too that they aren’t considered an idol group in Japan. Their music and their voices are far too superior for them to be known only as an idol group.
And I read on Airang webpage that all tickets to their T 3rd Live Tour sold out. No wonder Avex expanded their tour to have 17 instead of only 11 arenas. I was lucky enough to get their tickets to the second night in Yokohama but i regret believing that I can get tickets to their other concerts while I was in Japan because shamefully I believed that it wouldn’t be sold out and it would have been way cheaper to buy them in Japan. Blah, I envy people going to their later concerts especially when they perform at Saitama super arena cause they always add new stuff and do new things that was so not there when I went.

i watched the news in CNN.if its the same news i watched Suju was mentioned more but it was DBSG clips that were showing, TVXQ was only mentioned once to be exact

@Taejus…yep…Japan doesn’t consider DBSK as an idol group…unlike the JE boys…host will introduce them like the “top idol groups” but they will introduce DBSK as a “foreign chorus group which caught the nation by their voices” or something like those…
@HEROine…ahaha…so true…they were like saying SuJu all the way but they were showing DBSK…and they said DBSK once…thta’s just so funny…
