[nEWs] Z100 (New York’s Hit Music Station) Adds Tohoshinki Artist Page to Their Site

We previously reported that Z100, New York’s popular FM radio, introduced “BREAK OUT!” last February 18th through the morning show “Elvis Duran & the Morning Zoo.” (here)


Now, they even added a Tohoshinki artist page to their site! It still looks empty, but they have filled in the Biography and Discography section (incomplete).


Biography
QUOTE
Formed by SM Entertainment in Korea as a standard boy band of sorts, Tong Vfang Xien Qi (also known as Dong Bang Shin Ki and Tohoshinki, depending on which country one is from) quickly became a leading front in the “Hallyu” Korean wave of entertainment across Asia, akin to the Latin wave of the late ’90s in the U.S. The group was assembled in a Menudo-esque manner, with the similar intent of rotating members out when they became less popular or photogenic. After massive backlash by fans, the group was left alone. Luckily for the record label, the band also became one of the biggest acts in Asia. The band’s debut in Korea, Hug, proved to be just the type of bubblegum pop hungrily devoured by the fans.




After a successful full-length debut in Tri-Angle and a strong follow-up with 2005’s Rising Sun, the band embarked on an Asian touring and media blitz, picking up fans along the way, despite singing primarily in Korean and English. After a third Korean album and a series of scandals, the band focused on the Japanese market, releasing tracks in Japanese (learning the language as they went) and scoring hits with a full Japanese album (Five in the Black) and a series of concerts that included the massive Budokan. While developing beyond bubblegum into still mainstream but more mature pop and a cappella vocalists, the band released numerous albums across three countries throughout 2006 and 2007. Further touring throughout Asia (including a memorable concert during a typhoon in Taiwan) led to more Japanese success, culminating in the number two slot debut on the Oricon charts for the album T in 2008 (preceding singles also marked the first time non-Japanese artists grabbed the number one Oricon position). ~ Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide

Sebelumnya, kami telah melaporkan bahwa Z100, radio FM populer di New York, memperkenalkan "BREAK OUT!" pada tanggal 18 Februari lalu melalui acara pagi "Elvis Duran & the Morning Zoo."


Sekarang, mereka bahkan menambahkan halaman artis Tohoshinki ke situs mereka! Masih terlihat kosong, tetapi mereka telah mengisi bagian Biografi dan Diskografi (belum lengkap).


Biografi
KUTIPAN
Dibentuk oleh SM Entertainment di Korea sebagai boy band, Tong Vfang Xien Qi (juga dikenal sebagai Dong Bang Shin Ki dan Tohoshinki, tergantung pada negara mana) dengan cepat menjadi terkemuka di gelombang "Hallyu" korea di seluruh Asia, mirip dengan gelombang Latin akhir 90-an di Amerika Serikat Kelompok ini berkumpul dengan cara Menudo-esque, dengan cara yang sama anggota dirotasi ketika mereka menjadi kurang populer atau fotogenik. Setelah serangan balasan besar-besaran oleh penggemarnya, grup ditinggalkan sendirian. Beruntung bagi perusahaan rekaman, band ini juga menjadi salah satu band terbesar di Asia. Band debut di Korea, lewat single Hug membuktikan seperti halnya permen karet yang dilahap para penggemarnya.




Setelah berhasil debut full-length lewat Tri-Angle dan melanjutkan pada tahun 2005 dengan Rising Sun, band ini memulai tur Asia dan media blitz, memungut penggemar sepanjang jalan, meskipun menyanyi dalam bahasa Korea dan Inggris. Setelah album ke-3 Korea dan serangkaian skandal, band terfokus pada pasar Jepang, merilis lagu dalam bahasa Jepang (belajar bahasa ketika mereka pergi) dan mencetak hits album Jepang (Five in the Black) dan serangkaian konser yang mencakup konser di Budokan. Saat mengembangkan permen karet ke luar masih mainstream tetapi lebih mematangi pop dan vokal akapela, band ini merilis beberapa album di tiga negara sepanjang 2006 dan 2007. Tur lebih lanjut di seluruh Asia (termasuk konser yang berkesan di Taiwan selama topan) membawa kesuksesan yang lebih lagi di Jepang, yang berpuncak pada urutan 2 di Oricon chart untuk album T pada 2008 (sebelumnya single juga menandai pertama kalinya artis non-Jepang meraih posisi nomor satu di Oricon). ~ Adam Greenberg, All Music Guide
