[TRANS] Part 2. AERA 12/25 TOHOSHINKI This is the place where we should be. The phrase, “O-ka-e-ri”, deeply touched our hearts.
Interviewed by Mieko Sakai (MS)
MS: You are in the middle of the live tour after two years of hiatus. How do you feel after seeing the red ocean created by your fans with pen lights for the first time after the hiatus?
CM: I still cannot really believe that I am seeing this red ocean in front of me that I could only see it in my dream during the two years. Of course, I am deeply moved. Wow, I really am finally back on stage. Something like that.. it is hard to explain. I feel that, “this is the place where we should be.” I am really happy.
YH: Before this tour, I was worried about whether our fans have been waited for us or what if they are disappointed in seeing us now. But once I saw the way they looked at us on stage, I felt, “Ah, we are fine.” When our fans remembered the promise that we made two years ago and greeted us, “O-ka-e-ri”, I was truly happy.
MS: You are on stage for the first time in a while, how are the two of you getting along?
YH: Yes! I think that it is easier than before. (to CM) right?
CM: Yes, I agree. I think the two years of hiatus is not too serious. That is because we have the history of 10 years being together every day. But of course, there is some change when compared to us two years ago. I feel that we understand/feel each other at a much deeper level. If I can use a bottle of wine as a reference, our relationship has aged/matured for two years. Well, I guess I tried to be cool a bit too hard :)
MS: The new song, “Reboot” (meaning restart) released on December 20 is really suited to you.
YH: I think that it is a dance number to appeal our performance that is the signature of us to the maximum. The A melody sounds confident and noble and the melody line/verse turns to a different line at chorus. It is an interesting song.
CM: Everything, recording and shooting MV, went smoothly. A lot of CG were used in this MV and I was really impressed while MV shooting, “wow, the modern CG technology is amazing!”
YH: I was amused and laughed a bit. Because a falcon appeared in the MV. It is so cool.
MS: In the lyrics, there is a line “I will select/choose and decide future by myself.”. How do the two of you plan to create the future of Tohoshinki and the future of yourselves?
YH: I talk about this issue a lot with Changmin. Well, there is a path that we have taken together while sweating hard. We wish to create a new path leading to our future together with our fans who have supported us, while taking time and interacting each other.
CM: About myself, instead of focusing on future, I wish that I could slow down and take one day at a time, and in that way, ultimately, I will be taken to my future. It is not like to give up easily, like “Okay, this is enough.”, but I do my best every day. Well, I am speaking something vague here.
YH: I think it is okay not to be 100%. If we do our best one day at a time, then eventually all these hard work of one day combined together and we are living in full. Sorry, I may sound arrogant.
