I don’t wanna feel Blue anymore...
Lately there's been all the whining about reunion. First of all it's very naive. The best chance for that to happen is in another 5 years when HoMin's contract ends, but I'm pretty sure they'll be good boys and resign it like everyone else. But frankly I just don't want it. I want a reconciliation, yes, but not a reunion. And on my Youtube every day I get all these whining comments. I'm sick of it. Why can't you people just accept the facts and move on already?
But that's not what I wanted to write. I totally missed the date this year, but it's ok. It was supposed to be the 4th anniversary in the fandom, but technically I'm not a TVXQ fan anymore. I mean I still can't get used to seeing news about TVXQ and realizing it's just HoMin. To me TVXQ will always be 5 and always used in the past tense. I don't really watch old TVXQ concerts and shows anymore, I want new ones.
Now I'm a JYJ fan. To me it was such a natural progression. In a way TVXQ's music consisted of these two elements: most of it was pre-made by a team of expert musicians and then there was their own music - first unsure steps, but slowly it was getting its way into their albums and concerts. I was very glad and proud every time someone composed a song. Now it divided. While I do think HoMin's album is a lot better than Music essay n every way, I find it really hard to compare since Why is just a quality product of SM while ME was completely created by the boys. It's very raw, and lacking, but it's also very sincere and most importantly it's all theirs.
How did it get so complicated? I would have never thought I could spend 4 years in a boyband fandom. Damn. They used to be just some pretty silly boys, but with time I saw there's so much more to them than that. Now I truly admire the three of them. I learned a lot from them and now I feel such a deep emotional attachment. I guess partly it's because last year was probably the hardest in their lives, just as it was in mine, and going through a hard time together, even separately, it brings people closer. In a way we both took this huge leap of faith. Honestly I never liked to call myself a fan, and now more than ever I feel like they're my friends. And I can never get tired of them, it's this big rotation: each of them impresses me in turn whether it's music or drama or musicalor looks. I got used to living along with them. It's a bit like having imaginary friends. But I've been living this way most of my life, so it's ok.

not really)))
i totally agree with you)) and i'm actually don't think that music was so bad, maybe because i just like electro pop)) btw, the idea to create a photo book with songs was pretty cool, I think) of course, it's probably because of lack of time, but it's new and i like new things)
congrats with your 4th anniversary)
And yeah, I don't think Music Essay is bad, but it's kind of raw and underproduced. And I actually own it, btw)) I'm sure they will get better with each one. There are 4 new self-composed songs that will be played at today's concert. I really want to hear them)
yeah, i really looking forward for it too, can't wait for fancams))
