We were lucky tonight! Manda, Steph and I decided to try and walk to the Kyocera Dome since it’s near where we’re staying, just to get a feel of how tough it’d be if we have to walk back should the station be too crowded. And turns out the boys were having rehearsals!
We caught the middle of Been So Long, a practice ment and yes, Rainy Blue with a special surprise ;D There was also an unknown JaeSu duet (we couldn’t recognize the song) but the best surprise then was a JYJ version of Greatest Love of All! We are totally going to be blown away tomorrow, I guarantee it! I’m not going to spoil the surprise by revealing all the songs we heard but I think you guys might want to know that there might be a video ment using Kimi ga Ireba as the background music.
But the best, the utter highlight of this impromptu concert was what might (I repeat, might, it is not certain) be a an actual JYJ single. It’s a powerful ballad, and it doesn’t sound like anything we can recognize but it has their trademark all over it. It’s going to be a heart-wrencher baby. I really, really hope that this will be their new single.
I do have audio recordings but to not spoil it for everyone, I’ll hold it back until at least the first day of the concert is over (Kelly asked me “is it okay baby?” Guess what I replied to her)
But I have to say here, I was struck by the effort they put in for a rehearsal. There’s a Japanese philosophy in art called wabi-sabi where beauty is found in something impermanent and imperfect; we heard moments when Junsu’s voice broke, and Yoochun sounded like he was a bit sick, but all their imperfections (yes, even Jaejoong missed a couple of parts), it was…beautiful. The effort they put in to make themselves better is just worth looking up to and emulating. The ending of Colours was actually messed up but Jaechun did it again and again with the live band until they got the timing down right. And Junsu helped lighten the atmosphere by being his usual dorky self!
It’s going to be an awesome day tomorrow baby!

Fuimos muy afotunadas hoy! Manda, Steph y yo decidimos tratar y caminar por Kyocera Dome ya que está cerca de donde nos estamos hospedando, solo para hacernos una didea de cuan difícil sería si tenemos que caminar por al estación demasiada llena. Y resulta que los chicos estaban teniendo los ensayos!
Cogimos la mitad de Been So Long, una práctica del segmento de plática y Si, Rainy Blue con una sorpresa especial ;D Hubo también un desconocido dueto Jaesu (no pudimos reconcer la canción) pero la mejor sorpresa despues fue una versión de JYJ de Greatest Love of All! Vamos a perder la cabeza totalmente mañana, lo graratizo! No voy a estropear la sorpresa revelando todas las caciones que escuchamos pero creo que ustedes quieren saber que puede que haya un video de plática usando Kimi ga Ireba como música de fondo.
Pero lo mejor, lo más destacado de este improvisado concierto fue que puede que (Lo repito, puede que, no sea seguro) habra un actual single de JYJ. Es uan balada poderosa, y no suena como a algo que podamos reconocer pero tiene su marca sobre toda la canción. Va a ser angustiosa. Realmente, de verdad espero que esto sea su nuevo single.
Tengo las grabaciones del audio pero para no estropear la sorpresa a todos, lo retendré al menos hasta que el primer día del concierto haya acabado.
Pero tengo que decir, me llamó la atención el esfuerzo que pusieron en el ensayo. Hay una filosofía japonesa en el arte llamada wabi-sabi donde la belleza se encuentra en algo efímero e imperfecto; escuchamos momentos en que la voz de Junsu se quebraba, y Yoochun sonaba como que estaba enfermo, pero todas sus imperfecciones (sí, incluso Jaejoong se olvidó un par de partes), fue... hermosos. El esfuerzo que pusieron para hacerlo ellos mismo mejor es digno de admirar y de emulación. El final de Colors en realidad fue desordenado pero JaeChun lo hicieron una y otra vez con la banda en vivo hasta que llegaron a la sincronización. Y Junsu ayudó a aligerar la atmósfera por su usual manera de ser.
Va a ser un maravilloso día mañana!
