August 19, 2009 As expectedAs the title itself says, the 1st Live Tour of Tohoshinki in Japan was recommendable, as expected from the five-member band who was just starting to build up its name the time this concert took place.
The concert was small, surprisingly. I was expecting quite a crowd, but was totally shocked when I saw how condensed everybody was in this fine space. The person at the farthest end of the room would have still been able to make out the boys' costumes.
The concert itself was short, very direct. There weren't a lot of talks and the songs were done perfectly. Too perfect that the atmosphere was quite tensed. But that is to be expected.
Costumes were, as far as I can recall, very funky, i guess. They were a lot similar, with each costume change, but they suited the theme of each song.
The boys looked great, Jaejoong, especially, but I'm his fan, so maybe I'm biased. Anyway, the dance, especially the one in Try My Love, was definitely worth seeing.
A plus point for the concert being small was that the camera had no other shots but those up close, and so we get to see more of the boys' reactions and their dance moves. Every move is captured, how very fortunate for you if it captures the moves of the your favorite DBSK member.
All in all, it wasn't a bad concert. It certainly made an impression on those who came. But it wasn' the best. For the first concert, though, I give two thumbs up for them. It's not easy to have done such a feat!
Very amazing.....Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 15, 2009 Worth the PriceThe Secret Code...hmm...
It has great packaging. very nicely done. The booklet with their pics and lyrics were again worked hard on. Their songs, well, not my favorite, but they do have Stand Up!, Box in the Ship, Survivor. Ui Aa! We Are, and Wasurenaide, which was written (and so my cousin tells me) by Jaejoong.
What i love about this package is their DVD. It had several music videos, including my favorite, Mirotic. And the T Concert. And also,a photoshoot for the Secret Code. Again, I couldn't understand what they were saying, but you could still appreciate their goofiness. Actions speak louder than words, as they say.
High Quality videos, good sound quality. And free poster? What more could you ask for?
These boys never really ceases to amaze me. THey deserve whatever praise and recognition they're getting. I recommend this item to anyone who wants to collect their stuffs.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 15, 2009 The Song that Won Me OverThe packaging for this version was kind of weird for me? It came with a box, probably two inches in depth? And the first one and half inch of it was just plastic, a transparent box with the DBSK mirotic album cover reflected at the back. I can't be too sure if you could understand this. But it was just like a transparent box, with the picture of DBSK on the back of it. Okay, i think i just repeated what i said.
Anyway, the CD was awesome, not that I liked every track, but it still had Mirotic, and Hey! Don't Bring Me Down. The DVD comes with interviews, the interviewers and interviewees were just the five boys. They also had clips from the A-Nation event where they had to cook something, I don't know what. It was really hard to tell what was happening because the DVD was NOT subbed.
The packaging was pretty, even though it was quite a bit perplexing as to what it's purpose is. it came with a mini one-sheet-two-page picture card(?) which had some pictures of the boys, and at the back of it were their solos with their signatures. Not real, though, of course, but still a copy of their writing. I don't know if the other Mirotic Versions have that, so, yeah....
What else? The pictures in their mini booklet are totally awesome. Not a single one of them looked bad. You could see how the producers and artists really put a lot of work on the images.
I gave it a 10 even though i was quite disappointed with the packaging and the DVD because when I look at it, the other versions wouldn't have subs either, right? But if i were to give you advice on what to get, I'd say get the D one. It would have a cool collection of pics with DBSK goofing around. I know that because that's what my cousin bought.
But then again, if you're a fan, wouldn't matter which, each version is unique. It depends upon your craving... =)Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

June 15, 2009 Best Concert! Best Buy!This concert has got to be the best one they've had in DVD.
The lights were perfect. They blended well with each other at the right moments of the song. Their silhouettes were highlighted at the end of some performances and you could see their poses were made to shine, especially in rising sun. It gave a whole new meaning to the words FIve in the black. It was really inspiring!
The angles captured moves the way they were meant to be seen. If they were done otherwise, the effect would have still been there, but it wouldn't have been as captivating. I'm not talking about any particular performance because you could be assured these shots are in every song... They also edited the videos to have slow-mo portions, and they were done superbly. It didn't happen as often as you'd think, but when they did, oh...well, i'll leave the reaction to you, but suffice it to say, it was really thought out.
Let's go over to costumes...I have no other words to describe them, but they fit. Really fit! Their image, their songs. It wasn't flashy, but it was done with class. Their costumes were the same, but you could tell that they brought out different characters while wearing them.
All of them looked awesome. But I guess that would depend on your preference. but for me, they all looked good. A couple of the boys might have not sported the best haircut, but then again, that's for you to decide.
But they were all having fun. you could tell they how happy they were. You could hear it in their voices, see it in their faces. They enjoyed each performance, the atmosphere, and most especially the crowd. It was moving to see how they showed their appreciation by how they gave their best in every song.
I would give this 100/10 if i could. If you're a fan, the smartest thing you could do is not miss this DVD, if you're collecting their concerts. It is worth the money, to see this in high quality and watch it over and over again. I swear, I 've seen their performance of Choosey Lover about 10 times already, but I never get tired of doing so. Each time i watch, I have a feeling that i would see a particular moment that I've failed to see before.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
