[FanAccount] 110126 SM Town Tokyo

On January 25, I went to SM Town Tokyo.

At the beginning of the concert, the opening midsummer video was on screen. Every time when Yunho and Changmin appeared on the video, there were very big cheers and squeals. Since it was SM Town, there were a lot of fans of different artists, but it was clear that the majority were Tohoshinki fans.

The opening song was 72 (Natsu)-san’s "Kowakunai". This was the song Yunho introduced at Bigeastation140 in autumn, 2009. (You can check the song here.) The lyrics "I am not afraid, I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not alone, I am not afraid, The clouds change their shapes in a blink of an eye. I am left alone again, today." were so painful to hear at that time. Hearing the song, I thought that so many months have passed, with so many changes…

Tohoshinki appeared on stage in the latter part of the total 4 hours’ concert.
There was of course, “The gods descend to earth”! This time, the gods appeared from under floor of the center stage (in the middle of the arena), went straight upwards towards the ceiling, and stayed high up in the air during their move to the front stage. Their costumes were the ones that they wore at MBC, Jan 22, the grayish one with the mysterious pattern. Changmin was wearing a tie, that leaves Yunho to show his broad chest~~kya~~kya~~! Oh, Yunho was wearing that strange black fur on his back again(lol). For their hair styles, Yunho had his bangs up, and Changmin had them down.

klik the title !!

The first song was MAXIMUM. It was the Japanese version! They were perfect in singing the Japanese lyrics. Of course, their dancing was powerful and cool, as always. They were so busy in January in Korea, but they sang the song in Japanese perfectly. I was soooooooooooo impressed.

Next was the MC, which we had waited for so long! (Since I was excited, the words may slightly differ, and it may be in random order.)

Yunho: Everyone, good evening!
Yunho& Changmin: We are Tohoshinki!!
Audience: kya~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yunho: Everyone, were you OK?
Audience: kya~~~~~~~
Yunho: Did you want to meet us?
Audience: kyaa~~~~~~~~
Yunho: I am so glad that the long-awaited Japanese activities are starting, in this SM Town Tokyo!

Changmin: Good evening, this is Changmin! I was so nervous since this was a live stage in Japan after such a long time, but I was relieved hearing all of your cheers.
Audience: kya~~~~~~
Changmin: It is really by chance, but our single album will be released on Jan 26. We haven’t arranged it on purpose…
Audience: (lol)
Changmin: I am embarrassed to say it by myself, but, everyone, please hear “Why?” many times. So the next song is
Audience: Oh, no~~~~~~~~~
Changmin: Everyone, there is a flow of time in live concerts…
Audience: No~~~~~~~~~~~
Yunho(?): Everyone, we will have many more activities in Japan in the future…
Audience: No~~~~~~~~~
Changmin: In a few more hours, the football game between Japan and Korea will start!
So the next song, we will sing “Mitgi silheun iyagi” from our Korea album.


I was so delighted to hear of Changmin’s firm words, he hasn’t changed a bit! During all that time, Yunho was smiling, full of love and kindness. Oh, the two spoke perfect Japanese. Yunho and Changmin, thank you very much~~you haven’t forgotten your Japanese!


And, we were able to hear the lovely ballad “How Can I”. The two singing the ballad was so beautiful. Changmin’s clear voice was ringing throughout the venue, it was so enchanting. At the place Yunho raises his voice, his voice was very clear and strong. I did not realize, but a friend sitting in the very front said that she saw that Yunho eyes were full of tears… of course, my eyes were full of tears, too.


The next was the TVXQ medley. The pattern of the songs were the same as the other SM Town performances, all sung in Korean. This time, I think that the two were singing just by themselves. I was so happy that I could see my favorite piece, Yunho dancing Mirotic.


The last song was “Why”. The two were saying that it was their first time to sing it live in Japanese, and to be honest, I had first felt some kind of strangeness listening to their Japanese vocals a few days before. (I am a native Japanese.) But, looking at their actual live performance, I was completely carried away. “Nande nande nande” (T/N: Why, why, why), which I first thought was cute and funny, may become an important cheering word in the future (lol).

As the time passed, Changmin’s face (head?) was full of sweat~~ that reminded me of the good old days.

The two went backstage. During all this time, they did not change their costumes.

Afterwards, SHINee, SNSD, and Super Junior sung their last song, one song for each group. Then, Yunho and Changmin again appeared on the front stage, the two wearing different clothing. Yunho was wearing a dark blue jacket and white trousers, and Changmin was total white, I think. Sorry, I do not remember very well, since the introduction of a song which we all remember so well from Tohoshinki’s live stages were heard. All at once, the audience went uproar, we were so excited! Yes, “Somebody to Love”, which were sung at all the live concerts (including Mirotic Concert held in Seoul) began! Yunho’s “Everybody jump!” and “Thank you!”, Changmin starting his solo part after the jumps, Yunho’s very strong “TOKYO!!!”
The two were running all around the place, going to the center and side stages. I was so happy, I was in tears. I did not imagine that I will be able to hear and jump with the song “Somebody to Love” at this concert, the song which I love so much.

All of their performances were powerful and full of charismatic charms. I truly knew that their home place was on stage, all of their performance was so wonderful. I hope I have enough English vocabulary to express their magnificence, but I think no words can express all the excitement and the perfectness of their live concerts.

During the SM Town ending song, Yunho and Changmin were wearing the gray SM Town T shirts. The two were far away from each other. Yunho seemed to be enjoying himself so much, he was playing “keep your head down” with some of the other artists. Changmin, I did not see you so much during the time, sorry, my love is for Yunho, lol. But I realized Changmin’s scream vocal during the song, and Yunho immediately responded by shouting “Changmin!” In the very last, all the SM artists bowed so low, hands in hands.

Yunho and Changmin, thank you for the lovely evening! I was so happy, it was like “A Midwinter Night’s Dream. “ I will support you, forever and ever.
