I used to be ashamed of listening to them. But hearing such things from a well-respected musician, especially since it's a male in his late 40's really makes me realise just how universal their appeal is.

Tokunaga Hideaki, who performed with Tohoshinki at FNS Music Festival, mentioned the five of them during MC~

“(The members) worked hard to use Japanese to communicate with me, everyone of them is really handsome, especially Jaejoong, with that beauty looking at me, even if I didn’t have that kind of tendencies, my heart speed up. To the degree that I want to hug him. If I was a girl, there is no doubt I will fall for him.”
“The feeling is very beautiful and clear. Like snow crystals. The existence itself is very beautiful, the five of them can make a person very joyful.”
“They don’t have just beautiful features , their heart and actions are as pure as snow.”
“Even though I have meet other handsome guys up until today, but Tohoshinki really are wonderful guys.”
“(These words) should be expressed loudly to Tohoshinki’s fans!”


Also, I got a real shock today. After years of roaming the net in search of at least some HOT and post-HOT stuff, I find this wonderful little community on diary.ru with HQ performances and all.
