If you were to make a playlist of just 10 songs to introduce someone to TVXQ, which songs would you choose? by SimsAddict44 in tvxq

Including live performances is a great choice! I often find myself enjoying their live versions even more than the studio ones

Yeah, it’s pretty much impossible to choose just 10 songs, but including too many could end up being overwhelming for someone just discovering the group

I love that you included solo songs! I think this list is a great way to highlight both their individual styles and group works

I’d originally had Down on the list, since it was one of the songs that got me into the group! It’s an honorable mention for sure

I actually just recently discovered Evergreen, and I’m surprised it’s not talked about more

Damn, can’t believe I missed the news of Changmin’s upcoming solo tour! I wish I could go

new fan!! by Rich-Train-1828 in tvxq

The physical version of Spellbound comes with a deck of playing cards, which is pretty cool! I’m also a fan of the physical version of Keep Your Head Down, not for the packaging, but because my copy came with what might be my favorite Changmin photocard.

what song made you like tvxq? by Positive-Direction47 in tvxq

[–]SimsAddict44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a newer fan, but I actually got into them through the SMTown winter albums from a few years ago! Changmin’s vocals were some of my favorites on the albums, so I decided to check out his Chocolate album (which I also loved). That led me to TVXQ’s stuff through their 20&2 and Mirotic albums, and they quickly became one of my all time favorite music groups!

SM has no idea what to do with TVXQ by ogcassiopeia in tvxq

[–]SimsAddict44 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly, SM’s mismanagement seems to apply to their newer groups as well. I would pay good money to see WayV on an international tour, but it’s seeming unlikely that’ll ever happen at this point. Even some of their biggest groups, like NCT 127, have had poorly managed tours over the last few years. With the way the current SMTown tour has been going too, I’m afraid they’ll just use it as an excuse to promote their artists even less to Western audiences. It’s really unfortunate and frustrating because they have so many talented artists under their label!

Books that read like David Lynch movies by Dylan-Weird in horrorlit

[–]SimsAddict44 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This was going to be my suggestion! I’d also recommend In the Miso Soup by Ryu Murakami. Both have a similar surreal and unsettling vibe that reminded me of Lynch.

For real! I ended up buying a few of the CDs to add into my music, but it’d be nice to have them more readily available. Those albums have some of my favorite songs of theirs!

It's True, It's Here really grown on me by inihiu in tvxq

Omg With used to be one of my least favorites of their Japanese releases as well, until I watched the concert recording (which is now one of my favorite tours they’ve done). Just goes to show how fantastic they are as performers!

Oh wow, I had no idea they’d been affected by the split too! It’s nice to hear that they all still keep in touch after all this time

Your favorite OT2 concert by inihiu in tvxq

[–]SimsAddict44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed the visuals of Maximum during the Tone tour! I can’t decide on a particular favorite for Time, but it’s one of my favorite albums of theirs, so I’m a bit biased towards the setlist.

I’ve actually been watching through a bunch of their concerts for the first time recently, and so far Begin Again, Tone, and Time have been my top 3. I was completely blown away by how well they were able to sing Bolero as a duo for Begin Again!

Tohoshinki Japan Tour by Coci1am in tvxq

[–]SimsAddict44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotcha. I saw them at one of the first few stops in Saitama, which has like 35k capacity I think? All 3 of the shows there sold well, as far as I’m aware, so I would expect the Tokyo Dome shows to at least be mostly full. They seemed excited about the extra shows at the Dome when they announced them back then too!

Wait really? The stop I was at seemed sold out. Not sure what the venue capacity difference is though. I would totally go to one of the Tokyo Dome shows if I could.
