[Concert Review] JYJ Makes Up for Its 24,552 Hours Away at the Tokyo Dome

It took 24,552 hours to get JYJ back on the stage of the Tokyo Dome. At the sight of the numbers counting down to 0, fans screamed out loud in anticipation, and finally the three JYJ members appeared onstage before them.

This was what marked the group′s new start.

During the 24,552 hours they had been away, Kim Jae Joong, Park Yoo Chun and Kim Junsu had become more mature, more stronger and more closer. They showed how much they had grown in the three days of concerts held from April 2-4 for their 2013 JYJ Concert in Tokyo Dome - The Return of the JYJ.

The lights filling the 50,000 seats of the Dome shook as if to ask why it had taken so long for them to come, and didn′t miss a beat as the precious concert unfolded.

The opening was followed by a performance involving JYJ and 50 dancers, as well as the song Mission from JYJ′s album In Heaven.

The members showed they weren′t going to ease things in, as they went on to sing Ayyy Girl from their first worldwide album The Beginning, followed by Be the One.

After the torrent of songs, Junsu finally opened up.

"We really wanted to see you, on this stage," he said, as Jae Joong and Yoo Chun agreed.

Everyone knew that the group had been through so much to return to the Tokyo Dome, and fans cheered to show they knew it. Placards reading ′Together Forever′ lined the rows of seats, showing how fans wished to accompany JYJ on the trials up ahead.

 
Solo performances followed.

Kim Junsu, the first one to perform, sang Breath and Lullaby. Jae Joong performed Only Love, while Park Yoo Chun played the piano and sang Friend, a song by Anzenchitai. Kim Dong Ryul′s classic Old Song was also reinterpreted by the singer, after which Jae Joong appeared onstage again to sing his solo single One Kiss and Nakashima Mika′s Glamorous Sky.

The solo performances went around a second time. Junsu sang Uncommitted and Under Everyone′s Sky.

Under Everyone′s Sky was especially sung with meaning, as Junsu had said in the press conference before the concert, "The song expresses our thoughts. It holds a message that we wanted to convey to our fans to thank them for their four-year wait."

Yoo Chun then sang his new single I Walk Through Spring with Her for the first time ever.

The concert hit its climax with Jae Joong′s solo single Mine and Junsu′s Tarantallegra. The performances and stage effects came together as one, and the two burned bright in their charismatic performances. The audience cheered itself hoarse.

 
The three became one again after that, and sang In Heaven, Boy′s Letter, Get Out, You′re and Found You, putting on car parades and stepping close to their fans.

Their performance of Rainy Blue, a song they had released when they were still five under TVXQ (DBSK), had everyone look back at their reality.

"Now we only have the three of us. We will stay together forever," Yoo Chun said.

Jae Joong bowed, saying, "Words like ′goodbye′ or ′farewell′ don′t really fit you or me. I want us to work hard and continue to move forward. Please help us do so."

JYJ then ended the main portion of the concert with a performance of Fallen Leaves, saying it was a song they wanted to sing for their fans.

An encore was called for, as fans refused to leave and continued to scream for more. In more comfortable attire, the three reappeared onstage with their dancers and sang Be My Girl.

The concert finally came to a close with Empty, another promotional single from their worldwide album.

 
The concert was indeed the start of JYJ′s fight to make up for the time it had lost.

[Star of the Week] The Many Faces of Super Junior′s Yesung

We all know that together, Super Junior is unstoppable. But the members each have their own strengths, and when it comes to taking selcas, Yesung simply can′t be beat. We scanned Yesung′s Twitter on a quest to pick up a few selca-taking pointers from the Super Junior member, and the most important lesson we learned is: Stick to what you know. Yesung has an arsenal of foolproof selca poses, and we′ve picked a few of our favorites for the beginners out there. We begin with a classic - the 45 degree angle. You′re not true selca royalty if you don′t have this pose down.   Yesung is so pro he can do it both ways.   Another classic - the kissyface.   Here′s ′The Pout′ because it′s impossible to be happy all the time.   But whoever said you can′t be happy and angry at the same time hasn′t seen Yesung′s angry smile.   This one we like to call ′The Staring Contest.′ We think Yesung won this one.   The Chin Rest.   The Chin...
