Recently, a “TVXQ Train” has appeared in Tokyo, becoming the topic of town. This “TVXQ Train” has started running since 17th, with a purpose of promoting TVXQ’s upcoming album “TONE”, to be released on 28 September in Japan. This train is scheduled to run on the Yamanote line which runs through the heart of Tokyo, and will be running for two weeks from 17 September to 2 October.

The interior and ulterior of this train which has been named “TVXQ TONE Premium Train” is filled with TVXQ pictures, attracting the attention of many Tokyo residents. TVXQ’s new album will be released in three different colour versions, namely red, green and yellow, hence the train applied these three colours on the designing of the interior and ulterior of the train. With the additional strong colours added on TVXQ’s image, it is expected to arouse even bigger attention. In addition, the promotional bus which is packaged with TONE’s front cover printed on will also be on the run around the centre of Tokyo, allowing the city to be filled with the atmosphere of TVXQ, enabling people to anticipate the arrival of their upcoming album.

In addition, TVXQ will be appearing on the front covers of the November issues of Japanese fashion magazine “JJ” and “Ray”on 23 September; it is the first time for the same artiste to appear on two different magazine cover issues on the same day, proving their great popularity in Japan.

TVXQ will release their new Japanese album “TONE” on 28 September, and will proceed with promotional activities thereafter.

  MANILA, Philippines – Korean boy band JYJ will release their first Korean album “In Heaven” on Sept. 22. The 10-track album contains songs like “Mission,” “Nine,” “Boy’s Letter” and “Pierrot,” as well as the title track, which was written and composed by band member Kim Jaejoong.

But while JYJ—which also includes Xiah Junsu and Park Yoochun—are excited over “In Heaven,” being that this is their first album in Korea as a trio, there is a looming uncertainty on whether JYJ will finally be allowed to perform on Korean TV music shows given the current ban imposed on them. The ban is due to the legal case between them and influential Korean agency SM Entertainment Korean album as a trio.

The three JYJ members sued SM Entertainment in 2009 to annul their exclusive contracts. They left their group TVXQ and formed JYJ.

The lawsuit dragged on in a Korean court in the last two years to the disadvantage of the trio, whose singing career is being hindered by the case.

Since forming JYJ, the trio has been unable to perform on music shows KBS “Music Bank,” SBS “Inkigayo,” MBC “Music Core” and Mnet’s “M! Countdown.”

Last July, KBS barred JYJ from appearing in a concert to promote Jeju Island’s bid to win as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature despite the fact that the members are honorary ambassadors in the campaign.

KBS admitted that it canceled JYJ’s appearance due to the contract lawsuit.

Despite all that, “In Heaven” has actually already racked up 300,000 in pre-orders. In fact, the server of one of the music download sites crashed as fans placed their orders, proving JYJ’s popularity.

Ahead of the album release, the single “Get Out,” composed by Jaejoong and Yoochun, had been released online and immediately topped music charts.

K-pop group JYJ will head to Europe for concerts in Spain in October and Germany in November.

The boy band, composed of Je-jung, Yu-chun and Jun-su, will hold their first European concert at Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona on Oct. 29. 

Then JYJ will then travel to Berlin to for their second concert in Europe on Nov. 6.

C-JeS Entertainment, the group’s agency, said it is in talks with Tempodrom about holding the concert in Berlin.

“After releasing the album ’The Beginning’ worldwide we were asked to hold concerts not only in Western Europe but in Eastern and Northern Europe. We chose Spain and Germany to attract fans from all over the continent,” the agency said. “We will not differentiate much from the Asia and the U.S. tour, but are excited to meet new fans in Europe.”

Meanwhile, the group will release their first album in Korean “In Heaven.” It will feature 10 songs, including the title track “In Heaven,” composed by Je-jung, “Get Out” and “You’re.”

The album is available for pre-order from Friday at 10 a.m. at major record shops and online stores.
