[part TRANS] part 1. CREA TOHOSHINKI

Q. What thoughts did you have in your minds when you had the press conference tour in Seoul/Tokyo/HongKong?
YH: To be honest with you, I was not sure whether people had been waiting for us since we were absent for two years. But to my surprise, as soon as I met with people in Japan at the press tour, my mind was quickly set to the level that I had previously when I worked as Tohoshinki.
I was able to focus my mind, “I will make a brand new start. This is a real thing.” Right now, I wish that I can show you many different sides of me, of course as Tohoshinki but also personally.
CM: About resuming our activities, I still feel a bit nervous. But the joy that I feel because I could work again is much stronger than my nervousness. When I returned, my schedule was already all booked (laugh). This is really a great thing. I wish to enjoy working one task at a time, while feeling so happy that I could work again.

Q. About the three songs that you personally selected and included in the new album, “Fine Collection~Begin Again~”.
CM: These three songs that we personally selected are songs that we feel very confident about and also we have been loving these songs all these years. I think these three songs are very special to this album because you could feel how matured our vocals and our emotions are.

Q. About the new single, “Reboot”
YH: I wanted to make this song to convey the real Tohoshinki right now. It has the color of Tohoshinki but we also integrated the current music style. I think the product is beyond what I have anticipated and it is really great. If someone only listens to this song, I think the person could easily imagine how our tour this time will be.

Q. About the two years of hiatus
CM: I thought about my view of life and the way of living. From now on, I wish to broaden my horizons and I want to look around the outside world.
YH: As a person, I wish to experience many different things. And I wish to integrate such experiences to Yunho of Tohoshinki and that would give Tohoshinki a new power.

Q. What kind of 30’s do you want to spend?
CM: I think my key word is “To enjoy”. I really love music but sometimes I feel stressed if I continue to deal with music as my work. Sometimes, I feel stressed in my personal life and in relationship with other people. In order to reduce my stress level, I wish to do something that I can do while enjoy doing so at my own pace.
YH: My key word for my 30’s is “Just the way I am”. I am a passionate type to begin with and I just kept running until now. But I hope I can relax myself a little and show others who really I am. Some time I feel down. At such time, instead of trying to push myself up/raise my tension up, I want to show people how I will overcome obstacles as I do. I think in that way, I look more masculine and mature.
