We have two surprises for you guys~! I already mentioned it at the last Admin Post and have you guys been anticipating since then? Well, we are really thankful for all the support you guys have been giving us and we're finally going to hit 10 million hits despite all the criticisms and bashing T_T
The first surprise is going to take place in January. We're setting up a contest to win a BreakOut CD. We are still planning but please anticipate! We are going to do this contest to support the BreakOut Project.
The second surprise... TADA. We subbed Heaven's Postman. YES. WE DID. WE FINISHED. However, we are still worried with the people's reaction... So please comment if you want to watch Heaven's Postman even if it's LQ. The subs are great as always even if some don't think so :[ (But I worked on it really hard!) If you guys decided no... DBSKnights staff would be the only ones watching it and our subs will come out with the HQ file. (ps. The file won't come out till next year xD)
So, please comment :) Now, I'm gonna watch it alone xD
PS. If everyone said yes, it would be posted obviously... but once we hit 10 million hits.. The release is to celebrate our hits. So once u see that we hit it... anticipate.
YOU GUYS misunderstood! I will release the subs LQ if everyone said yes. We will also release another version once the HD file comes out next year.

2009-12-20 14:05:02 Oh, no~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (I found in your comments)
It seems that Tohoshinki sang Oda-san’s (T/N: Kazumasa Oda. Original singer of the song) “Kotobani Dekinai”. I wanted to watch it.. I wanted to watch “Bokurano Ongaku”. I wanted to watch it so much, I want to borrow a video tape from Fuji TV.
Please inform me. Please inform me well in advance. Please inform me on a timely basis about those things.
2009-12-20 17:12:36 Wow~~~~~~~ (I found in your comments) Thank you for the person who informed me of the youtube address~ I went to watch it. It was lovely. Tohoshinki’s “Kotobani dekinai”. I think Oda-san will be delighted, too. They have sung the song so lovely.
By the way, who was playing the piano? Suga-san? Suga Shikao? Looking from behind, it was similar to him. Impossible?
2009-12-20 17:16:12 Their pronunciation of “To”
I love their broken Japanese. I just love their pronouncing “to” of “Tohoshinki”. It’s so lovely. It makes your heart beat. I like the way they sing “to” in “Koto~bani♪”.
Thank you very much for your informing of youtube. It was a 4 minutes experience for a change. Where did they film that song? That is a lovely place. The window was so large, and you could see the Tokyo Tower. I thought, if it is a restaurant, I would like to go there. But I think that was a studio.

Nobody knows the lyrics for sure yet, these are just a good guess. For instance, "I keep break the heart and baby, we keep the faith eternally" could be "I keep praying. Don't forget it. Baby, we keep faith eternally!"
The event took place at IT Square , Bangkok Thailand around 10:00 – 18:00
The event organizer called Jaejoong’s sister and out of the blue it’s Jaejoong on the phone.
I can only translate the comment
Comment 1 “when we 1st heard Jaejoong voice, All cassiess did scream like crazy. We told him we are all gonna fly to Jaejoong. And He said PLEASE COME.
The organizer asked how’s he doing. JJ said he’s doing fine and happy.”
Comment 2 “We said we love you. Jaejoong said I love you too”
(t/n: We’re verifying this news and we’ll find the vid for u)

Don't forget I'm monitoring the comments.
--- During the phine-in to Sook Jin Unnie (Jaejoong’s 4th sister) I never thought I’d hear Jaejoong’s voice on the phone XDDDDDDD
Many Thai Cassie must have seen from the schedule that Sook Jin Unnie would record Jaejoong’s voice for us but it’s not! It’s real Jaejoongon the phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was holding hand with my sister thinking “are we dreaming or what”
It’s not the record. It’s the real Jaejoong LIVE on the phone for Thai Cassies
I wanna die and reborn and die for many many times. I was out of my mind while he’s on the phone.
I can only remember a few conversation
The translator “Thai Cassie will take the whole plane and fly to Korea (to fight against SM? – - this part i am not sure) for Jaejoong”
and Jaejoong said “OK I got it”
At one part we all yelled out “Jaejoong Oppa Saranghaeyo” for at least 3 times.
The translator asked Jaejoong “Do you love us” Jaejoong said “YES”
[T/N she gave more cute comments of Jaejoong's voice on the phone like it's different than how we hear him via the microphone cuz it's a phone and the speaker that makes him sound a bit different]
After that many Cassie started to cry because of the happiness
They tried to call Yoochun’s mom but she’s not at the shop and also Junsu’s dad.

Japan magazine ‘What’s In’ February issue will start selling on the 14th of January 2010 that Tohoshinki’s related topic will be included in which was a last minute decision, however there are chances of changing too.

Regarding Junsu's Solo Song to Become the Coupling Song of the New Single
I heard from the staffs that they have been receiving different opinions regarding the fact that Junsu's solo is going to become the coupling song of the new single.
This is something that has been decided in the beginning of the year, as a part of Tohoshinki's solo project.
In Japan, Jaejoong and Yoochun released their own single, and in Korea, Jaejoong and Yunho both took part in their own dramas.
And now Changmin is also going to act in his own drama. These are all parts of the solo project.
At first, avex and SM were thinking of having solo projects that are suitable to each member's own special ability.
Of course, we are also under consideration to release Yunho's solo song, so please do not worry about that.

I really don't see anything wrong with Xiahtic although, I do admit I want another new song.
