[jalousied.livejournal.com]

This is a transcript/translation of a live stream and translation is done by ear. Please give allowances for any words misheard or misunderstood. Q1: What is Sing Your Song's highlight? Taemin: Sing Your Song is a ballad but I think the lyrics are impressive. Also, we have our a capella parts, and I think our voices complemented this song pretty well. AS everyone knows, autumn has come so I think it's a fitting song (for the season). So please, everyone, do give it a listen. Q2: How do you feel about being able to share songs easily now? (t/n: As this is LINE Music, they're referring to that kind of streaming service) Jonghyun: It's good. Key: Um...we have finally arrived at that world, huh? Jonghyun: That's right. We're able to explain? various songs....ah...what's recommend (in Japanese)? Taemin: "osusume" Jonghyun: We are able to recommend songs to everyone. (t/n: Jonghyun forgot the word for "recommend" and used the word for "explain" instead at first.) Q3: Please tell us about your MV filming. Jonghyun: We shot our MV in a campus. Key: Yes, we went to a university. Um, SHINee is a group known for always showing flashy styles and powerful performances. But this time, we show a more easygoing side while singing, and even our fashion style for this was normal. Usual clothing. The mood we were going for was five university students meeting up to make music, something like that. I think it suits the lyrics of the song. Q4: Do you have any inside stories from the MV filming? Key: We have university students among our members, but since we're so busy we seldom have the chance to attend our classes. (During the filming), we sat on the seats...and yeah, it was kind of a new feeling for us. Inside the classroom, right? Jonghyun: That's right. Key: It's been a while. So I think it was an interesting moment for us. Taemin: We even ate inside the classroom, so it really felt like we went back to our days as students. Q5: What are you thoughts about your Tokyo Dome tour? Jonghyun: Our Tokyo Dome concert right? Actually even now, we can't really believe it happened. Key: It's been our goal since our debut days, so when we announced it, the members and even the fans who were in the concert cried. Creating that dream together (with the fans) was really a happy event for us. Q6: What is the secret to your group's great teamwork? Taemin: Ah, that's right. Jonghyun: When is it? When would one of us go "ah, that's right (we have great teamwork)!" LOL. Taemin: When we were promoting Dream Girl in Korea, there was an incident on stage. And somehow we all managed to smoothly go through it. That time I thought that we had become better (at teamwork). [1] Key: At first, before/during debut, we fought a lot, right? Well, it's been ten years since then so the five of us... Jonghyun: We've been together for about ten years, right? Key: So right now, instead of saying there's a particular moment (that shows our teamwork), often when we're in the car we naturally have fun conversations. The members are always...it feels like we're shooting a variety program with the five of us. Because we share the same feelings, we're able to enjoy each other's company. Jonghyun: I think that's the most important... Key: Right. It's great that we five are together~, something like that. [1] Taemin is referring to the M-Countdown incident when Minho accidentally broke his mic stand and the members subtly picked up/put the pieces of the stand out of the way without ruining their performance. Q7: It's been 4 years since your Japan debut. Did you feel like it's been a long time or it went by fast? Jonghyun: It felt like it passed by in a blink of an eye. Taemin: Since we're promoting here at the same time we're promoting in Korea, it didn't really feel like it's been a long time, to be honest. But we still would want to do our best. Jonghyun: Our growth...Taemin-kun, did you feel like you've matured somewhere? Taemin: Ah, I'm now able to talk in interviews like this. Key: That's true. Jonghyun: Even in Korea... Taemin: It's unbelievable, isn't it? (t/n: Here Jonghyun said something but I can't understand it but he said he'll interview Taemin.) Q8: What do you do on your free time? Jonghyun: What do you do? Onew: I sleep all the time. Key: At home, right? Onew: Since rest is most important. So I just sleep. Jonghyun: I watch movies or listen to music. Just spend it freely. Taemin: Recently, I'm into billiards so... it's my current hobby. Minho: I play soccer with my friends. Jonghyun: As expected, working out. Minho: Right. Also, watching movies. Key: I think I do a lot of things, but basically shopping, taking my dogs for a walk, etc. Minho: LOL Q9: What is the first thing you do upon waking up? Onew: I check the time. Jonghyun: Of course, right. I drink water. For my condition. (t/n: Jonghyun is referring to his morning condition, mood, etc. Not illness or something else) Taemin: I check the breakfast menu. Minho: I sleep again. For the second time. Key: I check my cellphone. Q10: What is your favorite food from Japan? Jonghyun: Ah there's a lot. Onew: In Japan, I like ramen. Jonghyun: For me, it's oyakodon. I love it. Taemin: For me, it's hitsumabushi. Minho: I also like ramen and hitsumabushi. Key: This is not a native Japanese food, but when I got to Japan, I eat it a lot. I love bagna càuda. I can't easily find a place that makes it in Korea. When I got to Japan, I definitely eat it. Q11. What place would you like to visit? Onew: A resort Jonghyun: I want to go to Okinawa. We went there for a shooting but Okinawa is a pretty place, so I want to go there (again). Taemin: I want to go to Switzerland. I already went there before but I thought it is an impressive place. Minho: I want to go to Europe. I want to go to Paris, London, or Spain the most. Key: I want to go to Greece. Jonghyun: It's dangerous there. Key: In Greece? Jonghyun: Right now, it seems it is. Key: I want to go to Greece. Q12: Would you prefer a time machine or a door that can open to anywhere (dokodemo door)? Onew: Why? Jonghyun: Wouldn't it be difficult? Taemin: For me I would ride a time machine and then buy a door that can open to anywhere. And then I can live as a youth forever. Aren't I a genius? Jonghyun: You're smart. Taemin: Yes. Onew: You're a genius? Jonghyun: For me it's time machine. Onew: For me it's the door that opens to anywhere. Jonghyun: Why? Onew: Because it's convenient. Minho: I'm satisfied with the present. Key: So you would choose a door that opens anywhere? Minho: ... Jonghyun: You don't need it? Minho: I don't need it. I just need now. Onew: Because you just like soccer? Minho: Just soccer? Jonghyun: So you don't need it? Door and time machine. Minho: Yes. I'm fine. Key: For me, too, I'd like a dokodea...dokod...hm? Onew: Dokodemo door. Key: I think a door that opens anywhere is better. I don't really want to go back in time (LOL). SHINee: LOL Jonghyun: Is that so? Q13: Please tell us your plans for your concert tour next year. Key: Right now we're recording and doing various things preparing for it. Anyway, we've shown a lot in our tours for the past four years so next year, too, we would've grown more. Not only in stage performances but also in Japanese... Onew: Also in height... [1] Key: No, not height, that's not...we've already stopped Onew: *nods nods* Key: (LOL) So, um if we manage to show an even more mature side of us then we'll be happy. Jonghyun: We want to become closer to our Japanese fans. (t/n: [1] Onew did a word pun, since growth is "seichou", and he said "shinchou" which means height. ) Q14: Do you have a new goal from now on? Key: Even in Korea, we don't really have something we consider our goal or objective, to be honest. For example, yesterday we released a new single. Right now we're concentrated on singing that particular song. It's just we do our best and concentrate on that particular moment. As for goals...well, last year, our goal was really Tokyo Dome. But now, we're just preparing for a new concert tour and doing activities...we just want to do our best in those moments. ➤ translation may not be 100% accurate. ➤ please do not repost without permission.
