Hello Everyone, I am Mihoko Iida from Vogue Japan.
Thank you for waiting! Tohoshinki are featured in the Oct issue of Vogue Japan. This year is the 15th anniversary since the first publication of Vogue Japan. The Oct issue is the second special issue for the anniversary. I thank the two of them (Tohoshinki) as well as all the staffs for featuring Tohoshinki for this very special issue!!!

The date, Aug 28th on which the Oct issue will be on sale is coincidentally very close to the date for their Live DVD [Tohoshinki LIVE TOUR 2014 TREE] being on sale. So we decided to celebrate each other splendidly!!! That was the concept behind the shooting this time.

We will show you a glimpse of the behind the shooting scenes.

Actually, when we were thinking about the concept of the photoshoot, we initially planned to let Yunho-san open a bottle of Champagne. At the venue, Yunho-san told us, “I had experience in opening bottles of Champagne. So it should be okay!/Do not worry!” And everyone was “ Sounds great!” and counted on him. However, when the photo shoot started, we soon realized that the bubbles of Champagne have to splash from the left to the right to make the photo look the most beautiful. In order to make the possible, they needed to stand in the positions switched from their usual ones. Changmin-san’s hair was parted in the right and his bang was a bit covering over his left eye.. so if he stands on the right, we could not see his face well because his bang was covering his face. So, they needed to keep their usual positions and we were going to let the bubbles of Champagne splash from the right to the left. As soon as we suggested, Yunho-san said, “You know, I have done this before. So this time, Changmin should try it!” Changmin-san looked delighted to hear that and said,”Since I have not done it, I wanna try it!” It looked as if the very kind/caring older brother was letting his younger brother to do the task. They both looked so cute/adorable. However, there were only a limited number of bottles so failure was not really allowed. So I asked Changmin-san, ”Do you want to practice opening a Champagne bottle first?” (I am sorry Changmin-san!). Then Yunho-san pointed out, “If you let him practice, you gonna miss the best shot/best facial expression.” Ohhhh, certainly!!! I understood immediately what Yunho-san said. Subsequently, we were able to take the first shot with a bit of accident where the Champagne directly splashed over Yunho-san’s face (!). Changmin-san was able to experience opening Champagne bottles for a few times. We were able to take the best and cool pictures of Tohoshinki in celebration. After finishing the photo shoot, Changmin-san said, “The last time, we were able to take pictures with the tortoise and this time, we were able to have a Champagne shower.. we really had a good time.” His words touched our heart deeply~. Also, I sincerely thank from my bottom of heart for your wonderful teamwork.
