InRed Special Men’s File

The special unit from popular group Tohoshinki,
A new musicality that is quite different, has been becoming an issue.
Do you think these two people are aiming for a new stage?Jejung & Yuchun from Tohoshinki

I want to try to rent an amusement park! (Jejung)

The concert tour which mobilizes 300,000 people from Tokyo Dome performance and the rest of Japan. ‘Crushing force’ is the words and phrases that best fit this popular artist, Tohoshinki. Jejung and Yuchun are appearing as members of a special project from the group for a determined new release single.

‘The 5 members are always together, yet now from 5 people (to be active) only with 2 people together for the first time …… I need to throw away the shyness. (laughs)’ (Jejung)

The song ‘COLORS~Melody and Harmony~’ was first introduced through Tokyo Dome Concert. It’s intended to be image song of Hello Kitty 35th Born Anniversary and these two people took charge both in composition and arrangement.

‘The first attempt to call everyone’s attention was at Dome, the music itself has bright feeling, easy to remember, easy to be sung.. now I’m praising it myself (laughs). Usually to compose a song, it takes us an exclusive time, but for this one, there wasn’t it! I think it’s before we did the live in Fukuoka? Quickly opened PC from the waiting room and made the arrangement… eventually it took us a flash timing which was about 30 minutes! We finished composing it and brought it out in amazing speed. Brilliant! (laughs)’ (Yuchun)

The part that becomes the point of the song?

‘The simplicity of its composition. Even when fans had listened to it for two times only, I want them to remember it easily, therefore something as simple melody was created. When we will be able to sing together with everyone in live, I guess it’s going to be delightful. The truth is, for a music that is completed only 30 minutes, we don’t really think about its quality anyway. (laughs)’ (Jejung)

I want to keep having great friendship with Tohoshinki members (Yuchun)

At one verse of the lyrics, it says ‘The mind that is filled with colors in this world, to you giving the overflowing feeling’. This is associated with Hello Kitty’ Colors concept: Red = Friendship, Pink = Cute, Yellow = Heartful, Green = Wish, Purple = Sweet. With the concept like this, if the two of you are asked to assign these colors with any images?

‘Red is the members. Pink is Junsu! Every gestures of him are cute (laughs). Yellow is fans. Green is Dome. I still want to have more Dome performance. Purple….. Kitty (laughs). Ever since I was young, I recognize it as an image that is sweet and gentle that makes you want to hug it tight.’ Jejung answered with his mischiveous smile all over his face. Meanwhile, Yuchun?

‘Red………. both in present and keep going in the future, is also, the members! Fans got cute pink. Yellow is the fans who came to our live.
I want caring them while we are together. Green is my 18th murderous younger brother. Purple is the staffs. Gentle, but also strict, it combines well……… right? (laughs)’

While collecting materials (for the magazine), these two people consistenty made fun to each other comments, even confronted face to face, which makes a good appearance between them. Unlike when they’re on stage, these 20th men had been behaving really cute. It’s giving an age-gap availability yet a charm that can stimulates us in our 30th. Then from these two people, sending a last message towards all 30th readers.

‘I think Japanese women who is in 30’s still pure and shinning. Even though some of them are married, they still be crush on someone like Bae Yonjung(Yon-sama) just like young girl.
Even though I am a men in 20’s, that is very cute to me.. When you feel stressed out, please listen to ‘COLORS~Melody and Harmony’ before sleeping tight (laughs)’ (Jejung).

‘Even from now, let’s preparing to welcome a happy 40th. I think this song will encourage your spirit. Just like a gasoline, a source of force in bitterness. (laugh)’ (Yuchun)
