[TRANS] Japanese fans’ tweets: the people and businesses of Ibaraki thankful and impressed by JYJ, concerts were successful despite hardships faced
[TRANS] The taxi driver asked me “Why did the three leave?” so I explained the details and the current circumstances. He said “That’s so maddening… That must be why people want to root for them even more. They must be really good because even though they don’t appear on TV in Japan so many people from distant places came” Thank you Mr Driver… (T_T)
[TRANS] When I was eating at a ramen stand at the Ibaraki venue the guy at the yakisoba (Japanese stir-fried noodles) stand next door was working busily with a big smile saying “I’m so thankful to JYJ”! So glad ♥
[TRANS] A taxi driver told me that the Hitachinaka Park was heavily damaged by the earthquake and tsunami and because of liquefaction the road in some places is still twisted. So he said that the Rock festival in the summer and yesterday’s JYJ concert was really appreciated.
[TRANS] Another story from a taxi driver. Some staff (probably ZAK) went to Korea 3, 4 days before the concert and rode his taxi. At that time they were still not sure if the concert was possible. But local businesses, at the risk of going out of business, cooperated. So I am thankful to the people of Ibaraki too.
[TRANS] A taxi driver said “More people come to the Rock Festival but there are more artists. They must be really popular for so many people to come for just 3 people. Incredible.”
[TRANS] On the way home from Ibaraki airport I happened to talk to a staff member of the concert executive committee. I got tears in my eyes hearing how much difficulty they went through for the JYJ concert to happen and how much effort they put forth. People from company “A” came in person to the prefectural office and the venue to protest. But through the various efforts of people surrounding them they were able to hold the concert. Thank you so much!
[TRANS] I received a call from staff at the hotel I stayed at and talked about JYJ’s concert. He wanted to take a look and got in the concert area. (People in local tourism businesses were allowed to enter) “I was amazed at how good their singing was” “And amazed again that they weren’t lip syncing”. He said “please come every year!”
[TRANS] I heard that the area where the JYJ concert was held was particularly damaged by the earthquake. The driver of the taxi I got on told me that this was the first time he had seen Ibaraki so full of life. He sounded very happy. This is truly the best recovery aid! I am full of distrust for the Japanese media.
[TRANS] The guide at the venue said to us in the Ibaraki dialect when we were leaving “Don’t cry so hard. They’ll come again”. Those words felt so warm.
[TRANS] It was so bad that the staff were really worried. The obstruction was so bad that they were barely able to finish the preparations on time. With such a large scale event there are so many things, effects, products, so many businesses involved, so there was a possibility of some unexpected trouble happening at some unexpected place. It’s practically a miracle that the concert was able to be held. I’m so grateful.
[TRANS] Funny thing that happened at Hitachinaka → A couple came together. At first the guy looked like he had been dragged there by his girlfriend but after a while he was watching with his hands clasped in front of his chest like a girl. He finally ended up gazing intently using his girlfriend’s opera glasses that he had taken from her neck.

Additional notes from a Japanese fan: Apparently so many people were tweeting and replying about Avex’s obstruction of JYJ’s concert that “JYJ”, “Avex”, and “obstructing concert” were trending on Twipple at the same time. There was no official homepage about the concert with JYJ’s name (just ZAK’s ticket site) no signs with JYJ at the park, no media coverage except for that small article on Ibaraki newspaper because of Avex.

[NEWS] 300 Vehicles Gather for JYJ’s Japan Concert. An Unheard-Of Phenomenon
JYJ, Creating a Culture of Providing [Mass] Rides in Japan? At the Time of Solo Concert, 300 Buses Gather, Proves Influence
JYJ’s solo concert JYJ Unforgettable Live Concert in Japan 2011 was held over the two days of the 15th and 16th in Hitachi Park of Japan’s Irabaki Hyun. This concert has evoked among the Japanese fans a culture of providing [mass] rides and so is becoming a hot issue.
In the case of Korea, it is common that the fans transport themselves through the means of mass-rides when an entertainer performs in Seoul or a location other than Seoul. However, in Japan the culture of providing mass rides cannot be found. However, in the case of this concert, about 300 vehicles gathered in the concert venue and so attracted all eyes.
Further, they also gathered attention by plastering each bus with JYJ. They put clothes on the panels of JYJ and made unique banners to heighten the atmosphere immediately prior to the concert. In this concert in Japan lasting two days, 80,000 fans gathered and due to the vehicles that gathered from all over, the traffic of the whole area became paralyzed.
In the concert of this day JYJ relayed: “We are very moved to be able to meet with the fans of Japan. In truth when we said that we will perform in an outdoors park in an area affected by the earthquakes, there were some concerned responses. But, in order to meet with the fans of Japan, we did not wish to let this opportunity go. We felt your love today in this place and through it we gained even greater courage.”
[TRANS] 111012 Newspaper Refuses to Carry Advertisement for JYJ Concert! The Opaque Reasons
The JYJ concert “2011 JYJ UNFORGETTABLE LIVE CONCERT IN JAPAN” will be held this weekend at the National Hitachi-kaihin Park in Hitashinaka, Ibaraki. But behind the scenes the activities of Junsu, Jaejoong, and Yoochun, the three who left Tohoshinki, were met with more trouble.
As a result of the break up and contract troubles, Changmin and Yunho have activities. Their management company Avex formerly managed the three members of JYJ and the three had concerts. However Avex unilaterally announced the suspension of the activities of JYJ in Japan citing JYJ’s Korean management company’s ties to the mafia. JYJ protested this decision claiming that Avex knew about this when signing the contract. (T/N: This article misreports in that C-JeS never had mafia ties but its CEO, Mr. Baek, did have a prison record of which Avex was well aware from the very beginning.) The three resumed activities with the support of another company. However the two companies are still in dispute over the contract.
“A fan pleaded to the CEO of Avex, Masato Matsuura on twitter to stop obstructing JYJ’s activities. He replied ‘This is not obstruction. It’s a contractual problem. In other words a promise,’ revealing his intent to keep fighting. Avex requested sports newspapers and other media outlets to stop reporting on JYJ and as a result the name JYJ has practically disappeared from most media.” (Reporter for a sports newspaper)
Although it has been ignored for the most part by the media, both sides have been battling fiercely. There was a case when JYJ tried to hold a charity concert sponsored by the new company, but the arena canceled under pressure from Avex.
This time another incident has caused shock waves among fans.
“JYJ fans, worried that the media was ignoring JYJ, gathered donations to place an advertisement for JYJ’s concert in the Ibaraki Newspaper. The Ibaraki Newspaper was also positively considering publishing the advertisement. However, suddenly, just before submitting the manuscript, the fans received a call from the newspaper informing them that the advertisement had been canceled.” (Reporter for a weekly magazine)
The cancellation happened after the advertisement’s size, price, and wording had all been confirmed. The reason given was “JYJ is in the midst of a lawsuit” “Their concert has been canceled before”, and “The venue has received a call protesting against the concert” and as a result it was decided that the JYJ advertisement did not meet the newspaper’s requirements.
Enraged fans responded angrily “They knew about the lawsuit from the beginning” “Is this harassment from Avex?”
We asked people at the Ibaraki Newspaper about details of the cancellation of the advertisement.
“We have been sued in the past because of what we published, so the fact that they were in the midst of a lawsuit was the biggest problem for us. But although this decision was made after much discussion, personally I feel troubled by this cancellation. This was a very unique and good opportunity where ordinary people were supporting the artist but …”
The newspaper has denied that they were pressured by Avex. However the weekly magazine reporter points out that the result is that Avex wins.
“If the reason that the advertisement was cancelled was because of the lawsuit, that means that Avex’s negative campaign worked. The credibility of the artist is notably damaged and they are very limited in their activities just because they are in the midst of a legal dispute.”
How long will this situation of not being able to support JYJ even from the shadows continue? The fans who initiated the advertisement say that the money gathered for the advertisement will be pooled and used for another JYJ support project in the future. How will this fight end?
[TRANS] 111017 Hitachinaka YEG Staff & Inoue Kozo Tweet Regarding JYJ’s Concerts in Japan
(T/N: YEG=Young Entrepreneurs Group)
[TRANS] Not only the TV but even the newspapers do not report JYJ’s concert, which gathered 60 thousand in two days and greatly contributed to the accommodation industry of Ibaraki! There were various rumors that avex has interfered, but seeing that nobody reports on the media, it is too much a mystery, it’s scary.
(T/N: Inoue is a famous TV entertainment reporter in Japan.)
[TRANS] I hear that JYJ’s reconstruction support live concert was great(^O^) I received tweets from many fans inquiring “Will it be broadcasted in today’s Miyaneya?” The actual state is that, Miyaneya and my office haven’t received any press releases for the reports. I am sorry that I cannot meet up to your expectations.
