208. C.N Blue Concert

C.N BLUE CONCERT

IN JAPAN

Sep.16 Osaka concert, Jong Hyun‘s voice was not in good condition. And also he was nervous to play new songs. (New songs are difficult to play, aren’t they?) He skipped some of his singing part. Some fans complained to Jong Hyun. Because it’s the first time to play Yong Hwa‘s new song.
The song ‘One time’, it wasn’t perfect at Japan concert in June, but it was perfect at July Korean concert. Soon they will be accustomed to new songs. They are progressing everyday. It’s enough so far.
Yong Hwa’s voice was great. And live music is different from CD anyway.
Maybe because of this fans’ complain or just the success of Nagoya performance, Yong Hwa sent many sweet messages to fans last night through UFO town even from Japan.

“Jonhyun cough several times and maybe he has cold. He’s very happy that alot of people came. KBoice sent lots of gifts to Jungshin, while JBoice sent only cardboard box which is small, not a discrimination.”

Yong Hwa’s condition was the best. He said he wanted to revenge a former insult (His voice condition was not good at June). Yong Hwa explained about his new song. He said recently he fell for synthesizer. So he put the whole mind to the synthesizer opening. Then he imitated the opening synthesizer melody with his mouth.

Once Yong Hwa said, “I am a genius, I am Tsukumo!” (Kimura Takuya’s role in Japan drama ‘Mister brain’. They all watched this series.)

Min Hyuk said new album hit Oricon daily chart number 8. (‘One time’ hit #11, at that time he said he wanted to enter top 10.) Then he talked about the jacket picture, they took off clothes for the first time. Yong Hwa said “Ah ashamed!” then all covered their shoulder with both arms. (so cute)

The gap between Min Hyuk’s smiling face and serious face playing drum, was too big. And they seemed really nervous when they played new songs.

Jung Shin: “Jong Hyun hyung becomes too excited whenever he comes to Osaka. I’m bothered.” (Jong Hyun had lived there when he was a kid)

Jong Hyun: “I will kill you. I’m happy I can eat Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki I’ve eaten when I was a kid.”

Min Hyuk: “You just eat delicious food that you ate, but why you can’t remember Japanese language? I am sorry, it’s half joke, half serious”

Jong Hyun: “I will kill you.”

Jong Hyun talked about his song ‘Lie’, “I made it as strong and manly mood. How was it to you? My songs I made, they are all good,” he praised himself.

During encore, there was a surprise birthday party for Jung Shin. It’s his 19th birthday. Now he is adult in Korea. But it’s not in Japan? Yong Hwa said Jung Shin is still far from 20 years old, he is minor. Jung Shin said Min Hyuk is same. So Yong Hwa and audience shouted together “Minor! Minor!” (?)

Min Hyuk’s touching speech: “Exactly one year ago, we had our first one man live. I still remember, we all were extremely nervous. After we finished, we thought “We did it!”. It’s so clear like yesterday. We will never forget that memory. We will study hard, we will be progressing band. Please be with us from now on.” Min Hyuk spoke in in fluent Japanese. His speech moved the audience very deeply.

Fan’s question: How was the concert in Osaka yesterday?

Jong Hyun: It’s our second time in Osaka. You welcomed us warmly and enjoyed our concert.

Min Hyuk: It was the performance that we all could be one. We enjoyed from the opening.

Yong Hwa: Yesterday, we performed all songs in our albums. So it’s more meaningful to me as ‘the first’.

Jong Hyun: We caught a cold, so we were not in good condition. I really appreciate you to give us power, enjoyed our performance. So we could finish it.

DJ: You have cold.

Jong Hyun: Yes, I and Min Hyuk have stuffy nose. We three are still sick.

Fan’s question: What was ‘Tsukumo’ Yong Hwa mentioned at the concert?

Yong Hwa: I watched ‘Mister Brain’ I really enjoyed it. in that drama, Kimura Takuya said ‘I am Tsukumo’ in a charming manner. I loved it.

Jung Shin: Yong Hwa hyung resembles Kimura Takuya. His hair style is similar to Kimura Takuya in the drama.

Yong Hwa: We love Japanese dramas. We study Japanese language with drama. While studying, I am trying to write a lyric in Japanese, although Japanese teacher is correcting it currently. We will try harder to write lyric in Japanese.

DJ: Do you practice Japanese songs too?

Jong Hyun: Sure, we love J-pop.

Yong Hwa: Singing in Japanese is a method of studying Japanese.

DJ: Who is your favorite Japanese musician?

Jung Shin : L’Arc~en~Ciel

Min Hyuk : Ellegarden

Jong Hyun: Bump of chicken.

Yong Hwa: Mister Children.

DJ: Japanese words you memorized recently?

Yong Hwa: minor

Jung Shin: Mechasukiyanen, O-o-kini, Suimasen… (Osaka dialects, I love it so much, Thank you, I’m sorry)

Jong Hyun: Korosu (I will kill you)

Min Hyun: That sounds good but…

DJ: It was Jung Shin’s birthday on Sep.15, Happy birthday! How old are you?

DJ: Yong Hwa you composed and wrote lyric of ‘I don’t know why’, didn’t you?

Jung Shin: We did concert in Osaka yesterday. And we have concerts in Nagoya and Tokyo. Please come and cheer us up a lot.

Min Hyuk: Please support us a lot, please listen to our new album a lot.
We will have a lot of concerts in both Korea and Japan. So please come to both.

Jong Hyun: We came to perform in Osaka. I really appreciate you who cheered us a lot in Osaka. To repay your kindness, I want to come Osaka again. At that time I will meet you with better music.

Yong Hwa: We will be a band who compete with live performance. See you at the live performance.

Sep.18.2010 Review of Nagoya concert (from Japanese blog)
Nagoya live was the best. Personally it was better than Osaka. We were closer to the stage.
Yong Hwa is just 21 years old, but he knows how to coax fans. (laugh) He looked at us like telling, “Yes yes I know what you want.”

There was a birthday party again today. Maybe they will do it at Tokyo too. Yong Hwa said again that Jung Shin is still minor. But Jong Hyun said, “Jung Shin got birthday celebration three times, the day before yesterday, yesterday and today. So he became 3 years older. Then he is 22?”

Suddenly Jung Shin acted like a grown-up, and Yong Hwa bowed down to him. Yong Hwa said, “They are Ramen, Tsukemen, I am Ikemen.”
Ramen is Min Hyuk, Tsukemen (noodle) is Jung Shin. Ikemen (handsome man) is Yong Hwa himself.

Jong Hyun said, “Why are you the only handsome man?”
Jong Hyun seemed to be sensitive to a handsome man title, he had argued before at the radio show when Jung Shin was called the face of CNBLUE. Then he said, “I am Amen.” posing as a prayer.

Jong Hyun said, “At Osaka live, our condition was not good. There’s a proverb in Japan that ‘fools don’t catch cold’. We 3 caught cold, but only Yong Hwa didn’t catch cold.”

Yong Hwa said, ” I am not a fool, but more like a genius? … yes I am a fool.”
At that time, his face was so cute.

While someone was talking, Min Hyuk took off his shirt, so he was wearing a sleeveless only. (omaygooooot *Q* ) Suddenly audience shouted, Min Hyuk became embarrassed to see he was being noticed.

Yong Hwa said, “Sexy Min Hyuk!”, Jong Hyun said, “I envy you.”

Jung Shin said, “We ate Nagoya specialty, Misukatsu (Pork cutlet with miso sauce), Hitsumabushi (eel rice), Tabasaki (fried chicken wing). They were so delicious.”

Jong Hyun flapped his arms saying “Chicken wing.”
