TRANS] 100221 Mozart Goes to China in April! - Daily New

(YT: as tagged + xiahssi + xiahdec)


Daily News Korea
news.mk.co.kr
2010.02.22 14:45:01 입력
Summarized translation

It is announced that the Musical Mozart! will be performed at the Chinese stage.

Musical Mozart's Seoul performance ended on the 21st, and it will move to Daegu from February 26th through
March 7th. After the performances at the other two locations, it will move to China in April 2010.

The Korean side's production representative Mr. Kim announced that the discussion with the Chinese production
representatives went well, and as a result, it has been planned that the Korean Mozart! team will perform in China.
In China, the musical will be shortened to 2 hours instead of 2 hours and 50 minutes (in Korea).

The Musical Mozart! has been recorded to have sold-out tickets after the announcement of TVXQ's member Xiah Junsu’s appearance in this musical.
(*T/N: No words written about Xiah going to China in this news. But he may???)

On the 20th, at the last performance of Mozart! in Seoul, Korea, Xiah Junsu expressed his gratitude by saying,
"The time in deciding to perform at Musical Mozart! was a challenge for me, accompanied by much anxiety.
But because of the existence of the other actors, I was able to finish my performances well."

[TRANS] 100222 FROM JAPANESE MAGAZINE “TV LIFE” KIKUCHY FACTORY

Credits: MY TREASURE (romi’s blog)



KIKUCHY FACTORY #251
“MUSIC FAIR”　TOHOSHINKI 5th Anniversary Special

“MUSIC FAIR” broadcast of February 27 (Sat), 18:00~ will be a special project, celebrating the 5th anniversary of Tohoshinki. Tohoshinki appeared on stage in this program for 14 times, 26 songs in total (their most performed music program in Japan), in just 3 and half years, starting with “Begin” in June 2006. We will rebroadcast all of their 15 original songs, including “Last Angel”, the collaboration song with Kumi Koda. Their first greetings when they first appeared in the program, unreleased talks with Koda, and the members’ questions and answers during their almost one-man show last summer..the program will sure be a treasure box.

When I first started to be in charge of the music program, there were only few chances for them to appear in music programs, so we “Otogumi” have been positively asking them to perform on stage.

Just two years ago, in the 2200th anniversary concert, all the songs were performed with the live band. So I assume that “Purple Line” in this program was their first performance with the live band in Japan. Just before the anniversary, they covered “Koyoino tsukinoyouni” with　Elephantkashimashi, probably their first cover song in Japan. High quality vocals, so sincere, so cheery, and handsome. (Lol)
Immediately after the filming, at the room next to the studio, opening their sweated shirts, showing their mighty chests unmatching their pretty faces and spreading their legs, they were so sincere in checking the playback of their performances. From the beginning, all the lady staffs were saying who is handsome and such, but the girls’ favorites were always different, that is, all the 5 members are handsome.
Last year, they performed in “Bokurano Ongaku” and “FNS Music Festival”. We were a little bit worried about the “Rainy Blue” during the rehearsals, but it was completed in the live performance, and Tokunaga Hideaki-san said “Kanpeki” (T/N: perfect) at the end of the performance.
We will wait forever for the day when the 5 members (with extreme professional conscious minds) and Otogumi can make high quality music programs again.



As always, our supportive Kikuchi P has not forgotten about our boys~~thank you, Kikuchi P!

[TRANS] 100221 Idol Power Heavily Shown on Stages

Xiah Junsu ‘Musical Mozart!’ Daegu Perfomance More Than 10,000 Viewers
Ticket offices in Daegu were jammed up again when tickets of the musical that Xiah Junsu is acting in (Mozart!) were up for purchase. The organizer’s report shows that a week before Mozart!’s official performance, the audience already surpassed 10,000 people. During the period of time when the entertainment world is on a slump, the fact that ticket sales can surpass 10,000 before its official performance is something that many can dub a miracle.

-omitted-

Among the performing venues which are selling tickets – Daegu, Busan and Changwon – Xiah Junsu will only be performing at Daegu, causing the city's performances to have extraordinary popularity. Many musical fans say that "Xiah Junsu’s ‘Mozart!" has gotten good reviews for its singing and acting aspects in Seoul. We believe that the performance in Daegu 'will be even more perfect,' hence showing their anticipation for the performance.


The Musical World’s "Scary Box-Office Power of Idols"
Although many idols borne of idol groups have been acting in musicals recently, the musical ‘Mozart!’ (which will end at Sejong Cultural Centre’s Grand Theatre on the 21st), is still really shocking many in the performance sector. Cassiopeian’s ticket-buying war already became a hot topic earlier, and also attracted a general audience.
Xiah Junsu’s performances broke people’s biased opinions of ‘idol stars’ with his natural singing and acting skills which got many good reviews. On the organizer’s side, “Although this is Xiah Junsu’s first encounter with musicals and acting, he gave a perfect performance which was much better than what was expected of him.” He also said with satisfaction, “Following Seoul, Daegu’s box office was also very successful. Many people who watched the musical in Seoul will watch it again in Daegu.”


Xiah Junsu’s Musical Mozart! Local Performances and Popularity are Both as Explosive
Xiah Junsu, who debuted into the musical world through this piece of work and broke people’s biased opinions of idols, garnered many good reviews through his good singing skills and numerous perfect performances.
Xiah Junsu, through Mozart!, “dispelled everybody’s biased opinions and worries, each performance perfects his acting and singing skills, and getting more good reviews.”
Xiah Junsu’s good reviews have gotten Mozart!'s Daegu performances more attention.


Idol Power Heavily Shown on Stage
Idols' success on stage makes the performance sector agree that they are hot stocks. Even though there were many idols going into the musical sector before, it was not always a success. Interpark, which is in charge of publicity, said “Not everybody who acts in musicals has such power over box office sales” and analysed that “Musicals like 'Mozart!, where the idol only has his own talents and special traits, and is able to show the audience performances above expectations and move them in a phenomenal way, are the driving forces behind box-offices.”
