Jaejoong's Essay

"Untitled"

Someone said this before:

There’s a need for partings/goodbyes between people.

After these partings/goodbyes, you’ll meet other people.

And perhaps then you’ll be able to find your soulmate among those people you’ve met.

Someone also said this before:

Destiny and Love are unpredictable.

Which is why we are constantly like this, repeatedly going through goodbyes and hellos (T/N: meeting new people).

Isn’t that so?

"Alcohol"

Intoxicated, like dragging a heavy bag

Standing in front of the entrance, pressing in the key code

But somehow, I cannot recall the key code that I have memorized by heart

Why did I drink so much to the point of being drunk?Don’t know if you guys have ever done this before?

Don’t want to watch TV, don’t want to play the piano, don’t want to read any books

And don’t want to look at the people walking back and forth in that world beyond my window

I want to hide

In the end, I can only lie on the sofa motionlessly

Have no urge to move, only stare blankly at the cactus

As I was staring at the cactus I suddenly realized I was talking to myself, “Am I feeling a little bit lonely?”

The fate of a cactus is that if the heart of his core have been fiddled with, his life would be shortened

The cactus seems to say to me, “you are lonely, just like me”Lonely, frustrated, depressed

There’s nowhere I can go to let out my feelings

At that time, the only friend I could find, was alcohol

But this thing

I would definitely despise it tomorrow

However, I think I would nonetheless continue to pursue it

"For You"

Now is New York. 
Tomorrow is the first performance in New York, no, in USA.
Meeting with American fans.. 
My heart is trembling.
Cannot fall into sleep from expectation.

Even though we did nothing wrong, 
Even though we have nothing that we cannot do,

There was a chance that we could not meet fans in US. (note: referring to the visa issue)
But at that moment, I was so proud of our hyung, the president.

No matter who make us had,
We will show our real self 
To you who always stay with us.

We will continue singing
For you……..

"Cat"

Cat is really an animal that I have lots to learn from.

At times it can be seen lazily lounging about,
yet when it is on the move it romps around with such high-spirit,
enjoying aggresiveness and composure simultaneously, the cat is. There is no mid-point!

Maybe it hates to be lukewarm.
And how straightforward is its temperament.

Thinking that it is the best in the world.
And for that it expresses its likes and dislikes straightforwardly too.

In fact, I am envious of such cat.
I , from time to time, do not express my feelings straightforwardly.
Because there were times that I got hurt, times that I did things that made people misunderstand me.
If I have a simple nature like the cat at least there will be no bad aftertaste.

It seems that cat doesn’t like me.
Doesn’t matter how much I care for the cat, if the cat hates it it will just completely ignores me.
Maybe as a pet it is the worst however,
Its straightforward expression of feelings, the way it doesn’t get hurt, and the way it loves itself,
I want to learn from it.

"Nine"

We have returned to Korea after the showcase.

Our bodies were exhausted but we felt happy.

Because we were able to meet the fans with our songs.

When I heard that we were to compose songs for the concert I really felt a lot of pressure,

but there was also some kind of sense of mission that it had to be just our songs, and thinking that our families will be able to hear our new songs made me very excited too.

Even when doing daily chores like eating, washing my face, and brushing my teeth, my mood would light up with anticipation.

Shall I talk about love that I’ve believed in?

A certain love.

T/N: Not a literal translation and it was translated from Japanese, please read with a grain of salt, and let’s hope a better translator than myself will translate everything when the 

album comes out =) !

Yoochun's Essay

"Finding the Hidden Picture"

The bed’s already made, but I couldn’t lay down.

Without rest for too long, walking and running nonstop.

Really exhausted and hungry too,

Not able to sit down and take a rest comfortably, we couldn’t eat delicious food as well.

Resting, playing, eating, and sleeping:

Things we thought life’s necessities, we have to go through life without them.

However, it’s all nonsense.

Rather than my brain, my heart, I should..should have a simplified mind.

In fact, it’s not easy to be able to do this.

Nevertheless, I will enjoy the twist.

Since it’s life’s

Finding the hidden picture…

"Nameless Song"

Note: Music Essay Version and Song Version of Yoochun's Nameless Song are different though written in the same structure~

Have I told you this kind of story before?

In 2003, we completed a few months of probation period, and we finished our first task with ease.

In 2004, we were employees of the month, and achieved many best results, but we couldn't be satisfied with those alone.

We weren't able to endure anymore and we started wishing for more things.

In 2005 we branched overseas, and we thought it would be easy like how it was in Korea.

For our first challenge, we recorded our worst results and from then on, our confidence dropped.

A languge we couldn’t even speak,

Everyday, we stayed at the place we were living at and our company

They said it was for our own sake and that that imprisonment was not an imprisonment.

Extreme loneliness, tears, rage; all of these made us united as one.

Even if anything were to happen by chance, we said that we would not leave each other...

While saying that we would only resemble each other’s good side,

We made up our minds and ran off.

Finally, one day, we achieved the best like how we had earnestly wished for.

We each took our handphones and contacted our family and friends.

That day was approaching,

From then on, everything started turning out well.

Selling tens of thousands of records and winning every award, we felt our results.

Even though tears flowed, it felt like they fell gently.

Because compared to any kind of sadness, we were happy.

Till the end, we do not give up and come running.

Strength greater than any other strength.

As expected, because we were one.

You who have already changed (I can’t always stay there.)

I will turn my back on you first (It wasn’t possible to just keep on crying.)

You, who are going further away from me gradually, I will just call your name. (Please fly me far away to that sky)

Running for a while,

Covered by a huge wall beyond imagination

The thought “Has it always been this dark” remained in my head for a while

Such a thing happened once

Business expenses which were increasing, Debts which kept increasing

Something that I couldn’t handle on my own

This is something our boss said to us in the past

If you need anything, just say it, since we will always be family.

Whatever you need, just say it

Those words gave me courage and I made a phone call to ask for a favour

Though I felt something strange, because he was someone I could rely on,

Because they were a family which would be together with us forever,

I gathered the courage to request the favour, but what I received was just a cold rejection.

Though I was very angry with his reply, I held it in and requested for the favour again.

He hung up.

I couldn’t stop the tears which flowed.

I was in a state of confusion over the thought that they weren’t the family that I had believed they were for that period.

When he needed us, we were family, When we needed him, we were strangers.

It felt that as time went by, more amazing things happened.

Hearing that we had finally created success overseas and achieved results which we never imagined we would,

I entered the office with light steps on our pay day.

We members looked at each other with excited gazes while facing each other.

We praised each other saying that we had worked hard.

But the accounts statement we received at that time recorded that we were at a deficit.

Thinking that I had seen wrongly, I tried verifying again,

Everything were expenses.

Damn, How could that huge amount have been solely used to cover the expenses?

What kind of expenses? Where did that huge sum of money fly to?

I couldn’t believe it at all so I requested that they show me the detailed statement of the accounts which I had never calculated before.

They said they understood and they would show it to me, but in the end, I never saw those pieces of paper and only worked.

As time went by, my curiosity grew.

The more we put our heads together to think about it, the more we got a headache.

Lastly, if I were to say just one more thing,

Those things which we did for the company,

Were they truly meant for the company?

Ok, Let’s just say that they were. We are kind and will overlook it.

For us and the company, who have been together for many years, we will forget it.

Even so, that wasn’t right. Those weren’t words you should be saying to us.

Did you really plan to disappoint us right till the very end?

From the calls I received, you talked behind the team member’s back. It was really hard to trust you.

It was exactly as what the seniors had said. Did you want to keep the people who make money for you?

He said the family which we talked about in the company would make things difficult for us if we were to leave to company.

Those words by that senior could not leave my head.

Though there is more that I want to say, when this song gets out,

There would be someone who would torment us. Thinking of this makes me frustrated and I don’t think I can continue.

In any case, though it is tough, we are working hard to live well.

Despite someone tormenting us, we are working hard to really smile.

This is definitely not an effort which we made just for a product.

This is an effort made because as a human, on the day that I die, I do not want to have any regrets.

Yes, in the end it is JYJ.

Yesterday and Today, though I thought for a whole day,

I am able to feel the difference between then and now at 25, my age.

Now I will put down my pen.

Even so, my heart is at ease.

Because I can feel the fans’ love…

I did it because I thought I would be able to empty the pile of burdens I had in my heart.

Though nothing is easy, I am at ease inside.

We are happy because we have a family which is you fans.

I am always thinking of you all…

I love you.

So, will you be able to believe in us till the end?

Will you be able to say that you love us?

Since we will work hard till forever, will you be able to be at our side.

Since, to us, you are still here,

And to you, we are here.

I promise, I will hang out everything and show it to you.

Yes, we are JYJ.

“You have raised the castle walls and closed the door firmly too.

They say that love is not an imprisonment.

Love is releasing someone to be free.

I don’t even wish for such things.

We, made by you, are not even half of half of half of that,

And will forever be frogs in a well.”

(Excerpt from Musical Mozart)

Though there are still many things I want to talk about,

I will stop here today.

Junsu's Essay

"Our Story"

Hi, friends,

Will you listen to our story?

We were children with many dreams. 

We loved songs so much, 

Sang from heart, 

Wanted to meet many friends.

Through the days of sweaty practice and white nights in the recording studios, 

We had families who suffered together and numerous friends.

Finally, we could see the fruits of our efforts of blood and sweat 

With our own eyes and hands.

Worrying our behavior would hurt the family’s heart,

We carefully behaved and followed family’s words unconditionally.

Family always told us. 

Don’t look at the world outside and block your ears from the sound heard.

Everything is estrangement, everything is a lie.

And then one day, 

So many facts were exposed. 

We, still children with grown body, were so confused with the facts,

And could not control ourselves.

In no time we became adults. 

We looked at the world even when asked not to look at, 

We listened even when asked not to hear.

We grew to the age that can tell what was the lie and what was the truth.

The family we have known till then

Was not the family as we had thought. 

Our hearts were bruised and minds got sick.

Could not believe anyone

and changed to a situation that we never imagined.

We gradually realized,

Looking at ourselves who were changing and losing dreams

This is not where we should be. 

There should be wider and brighter world.

If there is not, we will make it with our songs.

Out of the fence of the so called the family “who is not the family”

We decided to make a new nest. 

A nest that can heal our hurt soul and dream.

We are now making our nest.

Our friends became family

And have numerous new family.

Despite the interruption of people who used to be family,

With the help of new family

We can sing again.

The first day we came to sing again

Tears did not stop.

We wanted to sing again and make songs.

Now we can meet family only on stages, (note: not on tv) 

But we are doing real love as our heart leads.

Now we know. 

Only those who love people and trust people 

Can dream a dream and have hope.

My family is filled with love and trust, 

And our story will continue.

Will you listen to our stories forever?
