[TRANS] part 6. Nikkei Entertainment Tohoshinki

During the two years, they experienced live stages in smaller scales to the audiences including small children and elderly people. The two had brought 70,000 people to their Nissan stadium concerts. I expect that they learned a lot from the experience on stage in a small scale.

YH: Yes, of course. The venues where I performed in these two years are in totally different system from Nissan stadium, Domes, and Arenas. They were really small but I did my best in front of such audiences and I saw them laughing…and that gave me strength. I think that it is really important for an artist to believe in himself or herself and let their audiences know his or her feelings. I strongly felt that. I have said something like this before but it was the first time that I really was able to convince myself. No matter what happens in the future, I will always remember this.
- When you sang with your all heart, were you able to share your feelings with your audiences?
YH: Yes, that is the most important thing. The second to that is skills. The third one is one’s character.
- Okay, then. System and technology will fall below 4th?
YH: Yes, they are at even lower position. The 6th? Ah, I am sorry for the staffs who are in charge of those! (laugh).
CM: To me too.. the places where I was during these two years. I did my best for singing and dancing, but the more time has passed, the more I realized how important those stages in a larger scale that we performed on are.
YH: Yes, I understand you.
CM: I’ve never taken those stages for granted, but the experience made me to take some step back and I was able to regain my mentality when I just started my career.. Yes, I think I had longed to perform on stage during these two years. I had such thirst in me.
YH: But then, I think we got more male fans now. In Korea, men and young people, they do not know much about TVXQ. But some men who saw me performing really hard told me, “I will support you from now on!” Oh, and I received a letter from a child from Yangzhou where I was in service, “I did not realize that the person who sang in uniform is such a famous artist. I was really moved/impressed.”
- Oh, that must have made you feel really happy.
YH: Yes, after I read the letter, I started to feel really optimistic, “Perhaps we, TVXQ can evolve a lot from now on.” It could just be the parents of the kid wrote the letter to me (laugh).
- I do not think so. Changmin-san, at the event for crime prevention campaign for children, you needed to put on Seoul Police’s mascot character costume.
CM: Ah, it was so hot~, especially in the middle of summer! (laugh).
YH: Back then, I heard the rumor about you and I thought that you were working hard.
