Fly To The Sky Comeback On Music Bank (2/13)

{credit: jaeurazn1live @ youtube}

Thanks to lyphta and yumimaki for the heads up!

Wonderful comeback stage (especially the performance of ‘구속 (Restriction)’!!) from one of my very favorite R&B/ballad groups ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.  I feel like such a crappy fan for not even knowing they released an album lol.  I haven’t even heard it yet, but if these two new songs are any indication (plus their stuff is always great), it should be fabulous ♥.  I was on yesasia reading the album description and … apparently, Brown Eyed Soul (♥!) and Wanted (♥!) also participated in it.  *__*  Must buy!

According to lyphta, FTTS isn’t renewing their contract and so this is the LAST album they are doing together…!   I’m really sorry to hear this.   They’ve been together for such a long time and their harmonization is top notch stuff and … T__________T @#$%@#*#%!   But at least they’ll be continuing with solo activities.  I can’t wait for Hwanhee to finally release a solo album.

Onew + Jonghyun Performing FTTS ‘Like A Man’ On M!Countdown

{credit: kahboon @ youtube }

Thanks so much to musikq1 and lyphta for the heads up and linkage!!  ♥!

HOLY MOLY ♥.  They make me want to bust out all my Fly to the Sky albums and listen to all of them lol.  This is one of my favorite FTTS songs!  (AND I HAVE HEARD THEM SING THIS LIVE :DDDDDDD.  When they were in Hawaii this past February.)  I uploaded the original version here so go download and flail over how awesome Hwanhee and Brian are.  Nothing beats the original lol.

That said, this Onew/Jonghyun duet is INSANELY IMPRESSIVE.  JSLDFJSKLJDKLFJSDKL ♥.  It’s a difficult song to sing, not to mention covering FTTS is a formidable task, but ONEW AND JONGHYUN SANG SO FREAKING WELL.  OH MY GOD AT THEIR HIGH NOTES!  Jonghyun singing that Hwanhee high note from 1:34 to 1:42 BLEW MY MIND.  That voice control *____*.

They’ve been covering lots of artists these days; who do you think they should cover next?  ^____^.  I’m pulling for some V.O.S songs :D.

Order Hollywood Bowl DVD

FINALLYYYYYY!

It says it’s a “free DVD”, but you have to pay for shipping and handling.  $15 for those of us in Hawaii or Canada and $10 for everyone in the U.S ^^.  I hope it includes most of the performances, since it’s a DVD and hello lots of space and not limited by air time, but it’s also “free”  XDD.

I am getting one just cause, but I’m sure clips will be uploaded onto youtube and what not when the DVD comes out so those of you not in the U.S. or Canada shouldn’t despair :).  I will also, um, try to not be so computer-illiterate and attempt to rip my DVD when I get it.

Family Outing Eps 2-4

One of the characters in The Legend is annoying me to no end, so I had to take a short break from it XD.  And catch up on the Family Outing episodes.  I highly recommend this, especially if you’re a fan of anyone in the cast (lots of awesome people: MC Yoo, Hyori, Daesung, Park Ye Jin, Kim Soo Ro, Kim Dong Wan (in the first two episodes), etc.) or if you just want to watch popular Korean celebrities do hilarious stuff on television :DD.  Everyone is so funny, but I kind of want to get back to The Legend lmao, so I just wrote down a few highlights.  I don’t know why this ended up being so long ^^;;.

THE BEST PART IS THAT THIS SHOW IS GETTING SUBBED ♥!  Thanks so much to FOFansubs for subbing these!  You can also download their HQ subbed videos off the Family Outing soompi thread HERE ^^.  Also, here’s a summary of the show’s premise from the soompi thread: “Residents from the countryside are picked and given a free vacation for one night and two days. During this time, the MCs and two additional guests form a ‘family’ and look after their house, experiencing the lives of these residents. They must complete different chores and jobs, and play fun & hilarious games while they’re at it.”

Episode 2: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7.
-      Picks up from episode 1; they’re still ranking the guys from 1-6 and the girls from 1-2 lol.  And you can see Hyori without makeup!  She still looks stunning.  Lots of hilarious bickering between Hyori and Yoo Jae Suk, including Hyori constantly reminding him that he’d come in last XD.  Then they all squish into a little room to sleep and Soo Ro muses, “Wow, I never thought I’d sleep next to Daesung and Dongwan.”  XDDDDD.  So cute.
-      The next morning, JaeSuk wakes them up with a freaking SIREN hahahahaha and everyone comes stumbling out of the room, looking incredibly sleepy, to answer trivia questions.  Best part was when Hyori stomps out of the room and JaeSuk goes, “Ohhh~~!!” in surprise while horror music plays in the background, lmao!  He even asks her, “WHO ARE YOU!”  The Hyori/Jaesuk interactions on this show are gold!  She still looks so pretty, though, so I don’t know what he’s going on about 8D.  I also love Ye Jin getting into an argument with Jaesuk because he thinks she pronounced something wrong.  She tells him, “How can you be so ignorant!” and he’s all, “IGNORANT?!  WHO, ME?!!!”
-      Daesung loses at the game and picks Jaesuk to help him prepare breakfast.  They then have wayyyyyyyy too much difficulty measuring out the water they need to cook ramen.  LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!  They keep forgetting how much water they’ve poured into their pot.  The caption was ‘Dumb and Dumber” XDDD.  And then there’s this really long conversation and debate over whether to put anchovies into the soup~~.
-      And then they have to feed the goats and pigs.  ROFLMAOOOOOOO.  Ye Jin is so funny; I LOVE HER!  It’s a running joke that she’s really strong and can do all the hard work (from episode one, she was the only one that was willing to bash the fish and prepare it for dinner; Jaesuk, Hyori, Daesung, and Dongwan just made disgusted sounds and/or ran away XDD).  She’s the first one to catch a piglet to feed it :).  And then when some of the pigs get out of their pen, she traps one and catches it while everyone just gawks at her and go, “What the…?” and “You’re from the mountains, aren’t you?”  Continuing in that vein, they play a ’start the engine’ game later (they have to physically crank a handle to get the plow to start working) and she succeeds where most of the guys failed HAHAHAHAHA.
-      The last game they play is where they have to run and jump over haystacks.  I can’t remember laughing this hard since Super Junior’s Explorers of the Human Body.  Especially when Hyori and Ye Jin race each other.  JaeSuk suggests that they do the elephant spin before they start jumping over the haystacks and they do … poor Ye Jin wobbles all the way off to the side and Jaesuk has to run after her XD.  It’s just as funny as EHB episode 6 when SuJu spun around in that spinning machine and wobble off to the side (remember when Eeteuk RAN INTO A CAMERA XD).  And the crack of the two of them trying to jump over haystacks is unbeatable, really.  Actually it’s more like they’re just throwing themselves at the haystacks lol!  Hyori fans should watch this.  She’s so cute and funny and clumsy ♥♥♥♥♥.  It’s in part 6, starting from 4:24.  I was laughing so hard XDDDDDDDDDD.

Episode 3: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7.
-     New location!  Dongwan’s no longer here unfortunately, but we get Brian of Fly To The Sky ♥!  So handsome~.  On the bus ride there, they talk about other guests they’d love to have on the show.  Daesung chooses “Ye Jin … Son Ye Jin.”  XDD.  Park Ye Jin (the wonder woman on this show; I never want to see her go ;___;!!) gets flustered lol.  (Isn’t Son Ye Jin the actress that Heechul really likes?  I could have sworn I read this before…)  Brian says that the two women of the show — Hyori and Ye Jin — are great and all the show needs.  TRUFAX.  Then Kim Soo Ro yells abruptly, “I’ve wanted to say this for a long time.  I’ve always wanted So Nyuh Shi Dae!”  JaeSuk says, “Or Wonder Girls” and BRIAN FLIPS OUT HAHAHAHAHA.  Like he gives a thumbs up and bounces out of his seat and goes, “OH, WONDER GIRLS!  I LIKE THEM!”  That’s so cute; I didn’t know he was a fan of them too :).  He says, “I like them because they’re like my younger sisters.”
-      Once they get there, they set out to find ’ssok’, despite not knowing what it is.  Lots more Hyori/JaeSuk bickering, including her prodding Jaesuk’s butt with a shovel XDDDDDDDDDDDD.  He’s all, “Are you serious?  How could you use a shovel!  Hyori, you’re so mean!”  LMAO LMAO.  Later on the episode, they take turns deliberately making the other fall into the mud lolol.  It’s really too cute.  Brian (there’s not a lot of him in this episode, unfortunately!) yells at them, “Why are you guys filming a CF!”  I also like the bit where they try to smear mud on each other’s faces and Jaesuk says that Hyori is “violent … and rude…” 8D. It’s from 5:51-7:53 in part 2 ^^.
-     There’s also a rather hilarious exchange between Soo Ro and Chun Hee; apparently, they both went to the same acting school, and Soo Ro is sadfaced about Chun Hee not picking him as the actor he looks up to the most.  Then Chun Hee gets his foot stuck in the mud and Soo Ro just stands there and yells at him, “WHO DID YOU SAY YOUR MOST RESPECTED SUNBAE WAS!”  (Their 7-Steps match up later is just as funny.  Especially when they start playing Indiana Jones and Star Wars (the Darth Vader theme, no less!) music in the background.)  Meanwhile, everyone else tries to catch crab and ssok.  Ye Jin is at her very best again, flinging crabs into the collecting bucket like nothing XD.
-      They play a “7-steps” game in the mud … they get a running start and whoever makes the most distance in their 7 steps wins.  Soo Ro is really good at this game.  Highlight for me was when one of the guys had to carry a girl and take their 7 steps.  Hyori and Jaesuk are one pair; Yoon Jong Shin and Ye Jin are another.  Of course, there’s more Hyori/Jaesuk bickering, with Jaesuk asking Hyori, “Yah, why are you heavier than last week?  Don’t lie to me!” and Hyori asking him, “Did you forget to wash your hair?  It smells!  I can’t do this!”  XDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!  The two pairs end up really close so Hyori asks, “If one of us (the pair) goes the furthest, it still counts, right?”  HAHAHAHAHAHA so that’s how it ends up with the two girls standing on their partner’s backs and jumping as far as they can go XD.  It’s so cracktastic.
-     The next game they play is ‘Catch The Tail’ (embedded picture) and alskdjfkdlsjlk wtf it’s so ridiculous XDD.  Hyori’s behind Jaesuk on their team and she’s all, “Oh!  Look what’s in front of me” before she jabs him in the butt again, lmao.  And then she nearly pulls his pants down and he’s all running around yelling, “Hyori!  Hyori, can you let go?!”
-     Next part is really sweet; they all take turns broadcasting to the whole neighborhood.  Everyone gets so excited when they realize who’s speaking.  Hyori gets a lot of cheers :).  Then they play that Love game and Ye Jin is again TEH FAIL at this XD.  Lots of forehead smacking and general hilarity.

Episode 4: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7.
-      Again, episode starts off with them ranking each other.  Brian somehow comes in last for some unfathomable reason; Jong Shin and Jae Suk gloat in his face lmao.  It’s even funnier when they have to rank the two girls.  Jaesuk says it doesn’t really matter since it’s only first place and second place; Hyori corrects him and says it’s more like first place and last place.  Hyori tells JaeSuk that she cried when he announced he was getting married … because she was cutting onions at the time XD.  And Ye Jin flatters Jaesuk (while he’s all smiley and happy in the background lmao), so lol honestly, his choice isn’t really a surprise :D.
-     Jaesuk wakes them all up with a siren again, gasps at Hyori’s unmade face again and tells her that her face looks bigger, thinks Daesung is Kim Jong Kook. etc.  Also.  Ye Jin is just nodding off against a wall in the background 8D.  And Brian’s sitting cross-legged in the corner ~ so cute.  Daesung should just sleep in and not even wake up for the game, cause he fails at it hahaha.  He has to cook breakfast again and, of course, he chooses Jaesuk to help him.
-     MORNING WARM-UP EXERCISES XD.  To ‘Look At Me Gwisoon’, no less.  They take turns dancing it.  Um and this is really why I love Brian alskdjfklds ♥______♥.  He gets really into the dance, throwing in a billion pelvic swivels and hilarious expressions.  Here’s a cap.  I LOVE BRIAN.  HIs hips don’t lie.
-     The group splits up to accomplish the next two things to do on their list: feed the cows and cut garlic.  The garlic team is Ye Jin, Jaesuk, Soo Ro, and Chun Hee.  It kind of seems they’re all afraid of Soo Ro lol (especially Chun Hee, who is always getting bullied around) and the caption is “Stepmother Soo Ro and Chun-derella” LOLOLOLOL.  Anyway!  There’s a really funny part where Chun Hee puts on the A-frame (which they use to carry stuff around) and sets out to meet the other team because Jaesuk doesn’t want to do it, trips over Jaesuk, and ends up dropping A-frame on Soo Ro’s head in his haste XDDDDDDD.  Ominous Darth Vader music starts playing hahahaha!  And then suddenly Chun Hee and Jaesuk start fighting over who gets to bring the A-frame to the other team alskdjfklds.  Jaesuk manages to run off with the A-frame and Chun-derella gets left behind, until Chun Hee exclaims that Jaesuk forgot his walking stick and runs after him.  LMAOOOOOO.  I love when Soo Ro throws a basket at Chun Hee and there’s the sound of a lightsaber slash XD.  The Star Wars themes, I love it.  Later, Chun Hee confesses to Jaesuk that when the baskets fell on Soo Ro’s head … “it felt so good!” LOLOLOLOLOL.  Meanwhile, Soo Ro and Ye Jin continue to cut up the garlic, gossipping about Chun Hee the whole time XD.  It’s from 6:32 – 9:05 into part 5.
-     Jaesuk carries Hyori on the A-frame back to the village.  Fit for a queen, which she is :D.
-     And then more games, of course :).  They do a relay.  Hyori gets stuck with the “worst Hyori team ever”.  And everyone’s still afraid of Soo Ro cause he’s the King of the games and they still play Darth Vader music whenever it is his turn lmao!  Ye Jin’s team wins the running relay race twice so Hyori’s team has to think of a game that they can win.  They decide to do a hopping relay race after they see that Soo Ro can’t hop too well XD.  I don’t even know.  It’s hilarious.
-     Their messages at the end were so sweet and adorable ^____^.  I can’t wait for next week!  The previews look hilarious; they’re like climbing up bamboo and Hyori’s dancing to Wonder Girls’ So Hot while Jaesuk laughs at her and more wtf-ery.  Can’t wait, can’t wait!  Ah and look who we can expect in the 7/27 and 8/3 episodes!  The girls love him :).

Hollywood Bowl, Part 3

Okay, pictures! :) PLEASE DON’T HOTLINK; it took me forever to get these up. I uploaded all the pictures in part 1, 2, and 3 into a ZIP which you can download HERE. You’re welcome to post them wherever, although I do ask that you credit properly. Thanks :). And besides, there are muuuuuuuuuuuuch better pictures on soompi! *___*! Be sure to check those out!

SON HO YOUNG. I don’t even know how to put into words how totally awesome this guy was. Imo, he had THE BEST PERFORMANCE ALL NIGHT. I’m not even kidding. As biased as I am to SuJu and DBSK, I think I can say that without any hesitation. OMG ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. HE HAD SO MUCH ENERGY. He was actually the only performer that got nearly everyone, young AND old, standing up and dancing along. Y’all should read heliodus’s fan account HERE, where she mentioned that Hoi was sleepy before it was his turn to perform! WHAT. Cause you really couldn’t tell at all. (EDIT: Also, read part three of her fan account HERE, where she talks about meeting Hoi at her friend’s house! DOESN’T HE JUST SOUND SO SWEET? *GUSH GUSH* APPRECIATE HIS AWESOMENESS, PEOPLE.) I recognized the first two songs he sang (‘I Cry’ and ‘Love Brings Separation’), but not the others … maybe some g.o.d songs…? Anyway, he did such a wonderful job! His voice is like honey. AND HE IS DAMN GORGEOUS IN PERSON. I’ve always thought he was good-looking, but he’s just WOW in person. It should be illegal to look that good in a suit. AND THAT SMILE SJDKFLJDKSL. Absolutely blinding and just perfect. GUSH GUSH GUSH.

After his first song, a stage hand handed him some water and Hoi said “THANK YOU!” in a really loud voice, rofl. Ah omg he’s just so cute. I didn’t realize he was from the U.S.! His English was fantastic and he kept saying stuff like “PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER” and “CAN YOU FEEL ME?!!!!!!” to pump the crowd up. BOY DID IT WORK. I definitely had the most fun during his performance. He got all fanservice-y on stage too! I wish I had my camera out for it, but he was like rolling around on the stage XDD ♥. AND THEN HE WOULD SUDDENLY JUMP JUMP JUMP. OH MY GOD. TOTALLY THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE CONCERT. He shouted into his microphone, “JUMP JUMP JUMP!!” It was amazing. As far as I could see, EVERYONE was jumping up and down out of their seats! EVERYONE ~ the fangirls sitting on my left and right, the middle-aged couple in front of me, the fanboys in the back of me, everyone in my field of vision, rofl. I don’t even know how to describe it how happy I felt at that moment. It was the perfect concert going experience. I know for a fact that Hoi has gained a lot of new fans from this year’s HB ♥.

THEN BRIAN ANNOUNCED THE NEXT PERFORMER, “DONG BANG —” AND I COULDN’T HEAR ANYTHING AFTER THAT BECAUSE THE WHOLE PLACE JUST ERUPTED INTO SCREAMS. ROFLMAO. You know, for all the crap that international fans give Cassiopeia for not shutting up during DBSK performances, I think we were all being pretty hypocritical XD. The screaming was just deafening. And I’m not going to lie, I was screaming at the top of my lungs when they came out (but I did shut up for Tonight ^___^) because HOMG I COULDN’T BELIEVE I WAS SEEING THEM SINGING AND DANCING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AND NOT THROUGH A 12-INCH COMPUTER SCREEN!!!!!!! I’ve never been so envious of people who actually attend their full concerts in Korea and Japan because seriously, seeing them on TV or on the computer is nothing compared to seeing them live. I’m sorry I couldn’t get great pictures, though, because at this point I was losing my head and couldn’t hold the camera properly XD. Not to mention everyone around me was jostling to get closer to the stage. The only okay pictures are the ones of them singing Tonight cause they were actually just standing still instead of dancing or running all over the place, rofl.

They’re so, so, sooooooooo handsome in real life. All of them. Handsome and tall! Changmin and Yunho do tower over the rest of them, but Junsu, Yoochun, and Jae are also really tall and they’re built very well. They all came out wearing black. Junsu was wearing this black jacket over a sleeveless top that looked about two sizes too small for him, rofl. NOT LIKE I MINDED XD. His top would ride up every time he moved and … y’all know how I have that tummy fetish, right? HIS TUMMY IS SO CUTE *___*. And he’s just SO CUTE in real life! He didn’t look as skinny as you sometimes see in pictures; he actually looked really built. (He took off his jacket for Purple Line, I think and sjdklfjkls he has some huge guns XD.) AND DO I EVEN HAVE TO MENTION THE CHARISMA? He is so good at what he does and HE KNOWS IT. Yoochun finally cut his blonde highlights off and looked freaking amazing. Seriously. About 1000000 times better than he looks in pictures. He’s gorgeous in person; that skin, omo *____*. He has amazing skin and was pretty much glowing on Saturday night. NOT LIKE HE WASN’T ALREADY BLINDING EVERYONE WITH THAT SMILE OF HIS. OMG, HE WAS JUST ADORABLE! Soooooo cute ♥♥♥. I already knew that, but now I just feel even more enlightened, rofl. I hope he was okay after their performances, though, because he was coughing a lot after Rising Sun :(. Jae was the only one that wasn’t wearing a black jacket in the beginning (smart boy, because it was a pretty warm night and the other boys did look mildly uncomfortable in their jackets). I actually thought his top looked pretty weird, but hey, it exposed half his chest and THOSE ARMS, OH MY GOD. He has definitely been working out. HIS ARMS WERE HUUUUUGE *____*! And sculpted and shiny with sweat jskdlfjkdls. Also. He really does look like an anime character … his eyes were especially gorgeous ♥.

Changmin was SJKFLJDSFKLJD OMFG ♥♥♥♥♥. HE WAS JUST AMAZINGLY SEXY. SEXIER THAN 20-YEAR-OLDS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO BE. I mean, I already knew he’s very handsome, but … gosh, he’s definitely one of the best-looking guys I’ve seen in my life. I’m not even exaggerating. Actually, I think he’s the best-looking one in all of DBSK, even though they were all way more gorgeous than I expected (and I had high expectations!). He’s all grown up now, but I did see him acting his age! He was very cute at the finale performance, when he was smiling and laughing and pointing at something in the audience. I GOT TO SEE THE MISMATCHING EYES OF HAPPINESS UP CLOSE!! He could stand to gain ten pounds or so, though :(. It might have been his really tight-fitting clothes, but he looked very thin. HIS LEGS ESPECIALLY O___o. Don’t make noona worry about you, Changmin! He is extremely tall. And so gorgeous that it should be illegal *____*. And … finally, Yunho. My #1 Korean boy, so I apologize in advance for the very long description XD. But I nearly lost my voice screaming for him when he introduced himself, ahahaha. He came out wearing a trench coat (maybe?) over a shirt that exposed a good portion of his chest OMG. He was just PHENOMENALLY handsome. I’m a huge Yunho fangirl and probably have the most pictures of him saved on my computer (it’s either him or Heechul XD) and … I was still taken aback by how freaking gorgeous he is in person. Pictures can’t do him justice because yeah, he’s so much more handsome in real life. His face was really tiny, but it was full of the boyish charm that I love about him. I saw the manly side of Yunho that night (especially when they introduced themselves and he was all leader-sshi in our faces), but I also saw that really cute side of him. HE HAS SUCH A CUTE PERSONALITY! He’s such a dork. A gorgeous dork. HE WAS RUNNING AROUND LIKE A LITTLE KID IN THE FINALE PERFORMANCE. He had such an amazing stage presence! He would smile and wave at the audience frequently and his eyes would light up ~ I COULD EVEN SEE IT SITTING ALL THE WAY BACK IN THE TERRACE SEATS AND JSKLJDFKLSJDFKLDSJFKLD OH MY GOD! SERIOUSLY, YUNHO WAS SO MUCH WIN THAT IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY. I did ogle all of the boys, but I have to admit that I was watching Yunho and Changmin the most. Maybe it’s their height (and it was really pretty obvious how they towered over everyone else on stage), but they both have this amazing aura that I can’t even describe.

They performed Rising Sun first (lipsynched) and it was basically amazing. OH MY GOD. I was so happy to see them perform this (I was hoping for this or O.Jung.Ban.Hap since those two songs have the most difficult and badass choreography, imo) and the energy that was going around the stadium was practically palpable. I thought Changmin really stood out in this song! Well, he does ~ especially with all the “NOOOOOO!!!!!” screams that he does in it. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of him. And lol it was so funny when the audience was roaring “NOOOOOOOO!!!!!” along with him. I’m guilty of it myself. (And now that I’m looking through all of my pictures, I probably have the most good ones of Changmin. That boy is just so photogenic! I’ll try to get those uploaded soon.) Even though the song was lipsynched, it was just a powerhouse performance. THE ENERGY LEVEL WAS JUST INSANE. AND OH MY GOD THE DANCING. You know that part of the song where it goes “slooooow down” and they have that dance interlude where Yunho is in the front? I didn’t know I could scream that loudly, roflmao. YUNHO WAS FREAKING AMAZING. The way he dances and the attitude and just … everything. His moves are so powerful. I know that the Rising Sun spazz he does at the end of the song looks pretty weird on screen sometimes (and I’ll admit that I’ve made fun of that myself a few times XD), but seeing in real life made my brain explode. Especially when he threw in the hip thrust at the end *DIES*.

After that, they all introduced themselves. Junsu was so, so, sooooo adorable ♥. He’s got a really powerful and beautiful singing voice, but his speaking voice was so cute and high and squeeeeee~~. He kept laughing while he introduced himself, too. Yoochun’s voice was so low and dripping with sex appeal ♥. I really wish he had said something in English, though. Jae definitely got the loudest screams when he introduced himself. The girls standing next to me (yes, at this point, I had gotten out of my seat to run down closer to the stage) were screaming, “JAEJOONG!!!!!! JAEJOONGIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!” Changmin seemed pretty shy in his intro, but that didn’t stop the fangirls from going nuts. He was so cute with his squinty smile XDDD!! Yunho did his intro all leader-sshi like, but then proceeded to get the crowd even more sjdfkljdskljfkdls than everyone already was. He shouted, “Say DONG BANG!” and then held his microphone out for the crowd, who shouted back, “DONG BANG!” Yunho: “Say SHIN KI!” The crowd: “SHIN KI!” Yunho: “DONG BANG SHIN KI!” The crowd: “DONG BANG SHIN KI! DONG BANG SHIN KI!! DONG BANG SHIN KI!! DONG BANG SHIN KI!!!!!!!” Yunho: “EVERYBODY SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!” The crowd: *SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMS* Yeah. I know that doesn’t look so exciting written out like that, but I assure you it was. I have no idea how I screamed that much and still actually have a voice right now. ROFLMAO.

Then they sang Tonight! LIVE :). One of their best Korean songs, imo, and a song that REALLY shows off their vocal prowess. IT WAS THE RETURN OF THE LOW!JAEJOONG VOICE! I haven’t been a fan of his high and somewhat nasal voice in their recent Japanese songs (I call it the ‘Loving You’ voice :/) and I hope I’m not the only one who thought his voice in Last Angel (DBSK Version) was hilarious DDD:. But anyway, yeah, I thought Jae pwned Tonight. ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SANG THE HIGH NOTE! It was glorious ♥♥♥♥♥. He was especially beautiful when he sang it because of the way he tilted his head up and you could see the veins in his neck and … he just looked like he was singing his heart out. Well done ♥____♥. I also noticed a part where Junsu and Yoochun looked like they were serenading each other, rofl. It was really sweet and adorable and THEY BOTH SANG SO WELL! Changmin did those hand motions when he was singing (you know what I’m talking about ~ those diva-ish wrist flicks XD) and sounded incredible, especially when he sang the high notes. GUHHHHH ♥♥♥. This is proper utilization of his unique voice, not stuff like Wild Soul, imo. And Yunho … oh I was so very proud of him. No one can say that he doesn’t sing well now! There’s something really R&B-ish about his voice. I’m not sure how else to describe it, but he really did sound amazing in his solo parts. He has improved astronomically since their Hug days.

They went straight into Purple Line (lipsynched) after they sang Tonight … I was jumping up and down and waving my glowsticks like a crazy person when I heard the opening notes of the song. IT WAS PRETTY SURREAL. (And speaking of glowsticks … I don’t think the Red Sea project turned out as people would have liked :(. But it was still a really good effort! It’s just that most people’s heads were probably totally gone by this point and they were more interested in enjoying the performance and taking pictures and screaming. I know I was still holding my blue glowstick, roflmao. WHAT. IT LOOKED REALLY PRETTY AT NIGHT, OKAY XDD. And actually, there were a lot of green glowsticks out there that night.) The boys were just dripping with sweat at this point and I could tell they were giving it their all. Junsu had taken off his jacket then, so he just had that barely-there vest-top that kept riding up whenever he moved. But I did feel pretty bad for Yoochun, Changmin, and Yunho, who must have been really, really hot (literally) in their outfits XD. Especially Changmin; his outfit was pretty skintight which I’m sure pleased a lot of fans, but I digress. YOOCHUN’S “I REALLY WANNA TOUCH MYSELF” ELICITED A TON OF SCREAMS FROM THE AUDIENCE. I was screaming so loudly for him, lol. And I especially loved the bit after the first chorus where Junsu gets to sing his solo parts. He did this whoahaohohaoh pelvic thrust and slid down on his knees and sjdfkljdskljfkdls HIS TUMMY … *dies*. I probably stopped breathing somewhere in there. And probably during Yunho’s dance solo, too. It started off really hot cause his dancing is very crisp and powerful, but when he did that cute “omona!” part in the middle, I melted sdjfkldjskljkljfs ♥♥♥♥♥. (I don’t have pictures from this performance because this was my fancam ^^;;, so uh have more Tonight pictures lol.)

They left the stage after that so Brian got the audience to chant “ENCORE, ENCORE, ENCORE!!” So we probably shouted “ENCORE” twice and they were back, lol. I thought that was pretty hilarious. THEY WERE BACK TO SING BALLOONS! And they were joined by SuJu-T and SNSD! I don’t know if all the girls were there, but I didn’t see Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, or Hyukjae, so I was sadfaced about that :(. Sungmin and Yesung must have done a great job at distracting Changmin (lol I think they were trying to say something to him), because Min missed singing the first part of the song. LMAO. It was really cute, though, because Changmin just looked really confused after that. HIS CONFUSED FACE IS JUST SO ADORABLE OMG. Yunho and Brian had their arms around each other’s shoulders and were skipping out to the stage extension and guhhhhhhh I just died from all the cute ^_____^. (Yunho and Brian were pretty much joined at the hip for most of the finale performance ♥.) And … Yunho really is a bit ADD, I think XD. He was waving this red cushion thing (I think that’s what it was) at the audience a little too enthusiastically and I think he broke it LOL.

Finally, all the performers joined them on stage to sing the last few songs. I could recognize Arirang and Let’s Go On A Holiday (Summer 2007 SMTown song); don’t know if there were any others, though. I hardly got any pictures of the left side of the stage, but I did see Chae Yeon standing with Minwoo and Son Ho Young there :). At this point, I wished I had about ten more pairs of eyes because everyone was doing their own little cute thing on stage. But I am biased so I was watching Yunho most of the time and lol it got pretty exhausting. HE WAS JUST ALL OVER THE PLACE, RUNNING BACK AND FORTH. He has so much energy, my goodness. So playful! (And I wish Heechul were there to play with him, because I have noticed in a lot of those SMTown clips that Yunho always tries really hard to get Heechul’s attention and impress him XDD. It’s totally cute. STOP DEPRIVING ME OF MY HORELLA DDDD:.) Finally, Yunho seemed to stick around on the right side of the stage (whew!), where Jae, Yoochun, and Changmin were also standing. (Junsu was standing near the middle of the stage, next to Moon Hee Jun and SNSD.) Sungmin and Eeteuk were there too, I think. (Eeteuk was kind of everywhere, actually XD. He seemed super friendly and interactive; I noticed he spent a lot of time shaking hands with people in the pool circle.) I think it was Yesung who ran up to them and surprised Yunho by hugging him from behind LMAO. And then Yesung went to hug Yoochun and those two were chatting animatedly for a while. They seem really close ♥.  And for all you Jaemin fans ~ there was a lot of Jaemin on Saturday night ♥! They basically stuck next to each other throughout the whole finale and Jae was kind of draping himself onto Changmin, even though Changmin is a lot taller rofl. (EDIT: Actually, now that I’m looking at my pictures, I seem to have captured more Yoomin than Jaemin, lol. But Yoomin is so adorable too!)

OH! I forgot to mention that they didn’t have enough microphones to go around at the finale performance, so people were just handing microphones around or, in some cases, JAMMING IT INTO OTHER PEOPLE’S FACES XDDDD. It was soooo funny. Jaejoong almost stuck a microphone into Yesung’s mouth XD. Yunho and Yoochun got hold of a microphone and gave it to Yesung to sing into, but then decided to snatch it away from him and LMAO YESUNG’S “:O” EXPRESSION WAS JUST PRICELESS. 2U were very amused, though. I seriously thought they were going to fall over from laughing so hard. Yoochun smiles like the sun, you guys. And Yunho looked like he was a 5-year-old at a toy store XDD. He must have had a lot of sugar before their performance. Or something! I also noticed that he kept looking to the left for Junsu! I actually have this hilarious picture of the four Dong Bangs standing with Brian on the right side of the stage and Yunho has his hands on his hips and the expression on his face is like, “WHERE THE HELL IS JUNSU!” OT5 YES ♥.

Then the fireworks went off at the end and omg I’ve never had so much fun in my life! Everyone on stage looked really happy and excited to be there. I hope they all make their way back for another Hollywood Bowl in the future ♥. If I find a way to manage it, I’m definitely going next year! … Currently suffering from post-concert depression. LOL. I thought going to this thing would satisfy me at least a little in that “I’ve seen them already ~ that should be enough,” but it really had the opposite effect ROFL. I just want to see all these people again.

I know that was long and messy and pretty stupid, but I hope you enjoyed ^^;;. Will catch up with the other fandoms and reply to all the comments later ♥. Love you all ♥~.
