CharactersYesterdays filming located at the souvenir shop in Tokyo Tower, we could catch a glimpse of the member's different characters.
At a panel exhibition at the Tokyo Tower explaining the history, Leader Mika can be seen reading the characters carefully as the staffs is teaching him Kanji, whereas Karam is having conversation with a group of grandmothers in a friendly manner.
In the souvenir corner, various sweets were wanted by Injun and for some reason why, Jay wanted to buy some clothes peg. Hyunmin said he wanted to climb the stairs of Tokyo Tower next time without using the elevator!
Injun lead songOn June 15th, the second single 'Love Bingo!' will be released
It is wonderful news to the Injun fans here!
Coupling tunes filled with memories of the summer.
In this Japanese song, Injun will sing the chorus for the very first time
Usually this is unimaginable for Injun of Nico Nico smile. It's a sad song fitted for a sweet voice
Personally as a person in charge of production, I am convinced that this is the hidden master piece of music
Event in Okinawa Part 1This event in Okinawa went by shooting for the PV
Karam provides the story of being afraid of sea cucumbers
It is already known to everyone throughout the media, that Karam was afraid of something
After the schedule has ended for day 1, the member's requested they wanted to go to a restaurant in Okinawa
The member enjoyed their meal filled with Rafute (glazed pork), Soki Soba (stewed pork spare), Takoraisu (taco rice), and Chanpuru (stir fry).
Having the green butsubu carried out aswell as the sea grapes, Injun is curious as all the members are anticipating for his tasting.
Showing courage to bite
"Delicious!!!"
The members are finally able to eat with courage after Injun's words
"It is delicious!!!"
However, Karam alone is not good with eating seafood that he did not touch it at all in the end.
Love Bingo! Dance projectIf you don't already know, Nico Nico video is presenting 'Daikoku Danji Love Bingo!' dance project
The project starts now.
You post a video of yourself dancing to 'Love Bingo!', upload it and let the members judge it
Since there's a gorgeous prize prepared, please try by all means!
Follow the following details here:
http://ch.nicovideo.jp/channel/daikoku_danjiExcusesThe event took place after the members finished their schedule and went for lunch
When looking at the members plates to see if they finished eating, Injun and Jay’s vegetable were left untouched and the green beans remained in Hyunmin’s plate.
“Why haven’t you eaten your vegetable yet?” we asked
Injun and Jay, the maknae line replied “Normally we’d eat them but because there’s no dressing today we can’t eat it…”
A solution to this lovely excuse,
When the staff asked the waitress to rush and get some dressing, they panicked and went to stop the waitress.
Hyunmin’s excuse was “What? You can eat this? I thought it was decoration.”
Mika and Karam’s ate their vegetable neatly without a problem
Event in Okinawa Part 2This event in Okinawa took places shooting for the PV
The scenery is filled with a sea of emerald green, presented with beautiful fine weather!
Despite the heavenly surroundings, the members of Daikoku Danji had a schedule.
Day 1: Dance rehearsal with the local dancers after the arrival from Tokyo
Day 2: A photo shoot after dance rehearsal
Day 3: Shooting the PV throughout the day
With this tight schedule, it was not possible to play around at all
However after the completion of the PV shooting on the fourth day, the staff and members had the chance to play around in the hotel pool.
They seem to have wanted to swim in the sea but since it was already sunset, they had to settle for the pool.
They played underwater tag in the pool where the best swimmer amongst the member is Injun, which was the opposite for Jay…
The entire staff are now eating barbecue on the pool side!!!
Halfway during the barbecue, Jay and the dancers had a dance battle where all the members seem to be having fun.
To the entire staff at the interval of the barbecue, “Thank you very much” said the members, greeting everyone. The staffs were deeply moved by this action.
According to the weather forecast it was suppose to rain but the good weather continued to come
Daikoku Danji are fine men after all.
Event in Okinawa Part 3This event in Okinawa took place shooting for the PV.
Jay’s appearance in the pool is anxious which pulled a lot of attention, so I’ll give you additional information on that
Surprisingly, Jay couldn’t swim at all
He was trying to learn how to do the butterfly stroke with the help of the staff, where he hung onto the poolside doing hard butterfly stroke.
It was a very cute site.
It was the first time I’ve seen them swim where Hyunmin had no problem swimming.
LeaderDaikoku Danji’s Leader Mika
Although it may be hard to imagine from his usual appearance, Mika is quite a talkative person during recordings, rehearsal etc
A reliable Leadership is demonstrated.
To the live event and rehearsal, he is always precise on details.
Always making sure before recording that the other members are put into their correct place.
He would go up to us for a final confirmation immediately before their performance
“You guys are really good live, please do not worry.”
He smiles at our words
The divine appearance is exactly like our Mika Always calm and serious. A sincere face for music that never once forgot to show everyone his gratitude. Always thinking about the whole team other than himself. His young self must be respected
The release of ‘Love Bingo!’ commemoration event, all the member’s loving feelings for our Leader Mika to be on the top
This event will become an intimate one so by all means, please come and see us.
Event in Okinawa Part 4This event in Okinawa went by shooting the ‘Love Bingo!’ Music video
At the last chorus bridge scene, there was a crowd of blowfish right under the bridge
It was found by the members of Daikoku Danji
Karam who hates fish said "It wasn't a pleasant view to see"
Serious Mika said "What is the name of this fish?"
The maknae line, Injun and Jay said "Its fish, its fish~~!! Wow, it's so cute~~!"
Charismatic Hyunmin said "Is it delicious to eat?"
It was a comment from each of the members which showed their character.
In the dressing room at Makuhari K-POP SUPER LIVE
The other day in the dressing room of k-pop super live, Hyunmin spoke to the junior group members of X-5
"its otsukaresama deshita*, not ochukaresama deshita"
"Do you understand? It’s tsu, not chu" he said while teaching.
Strangely for Hyunmin-chan* 'Tsu' can be said neatly
When I think about it, Hyunmin is really shining here in a way I wanted to inquire it a bit more
(T/N: otsukaresama deshita* = 'thank you for your hard work today/you must be tired' which the staff spelt incorrectly for both words here.
Chan* = is used for babies, young children, and teenage girls. It may also be used towards cute animals, lovers, close friends, or any youthful woman but for this context, I think the staff is either making fun of Hyunmin, he did another mistake OR that's his nickname for him :P)
Event in Okinawa Part 5This event in Okinawa ended safely shooting the last scene of the PV today
“Daikoku Danji’s Love Bingo! Music video shooting is finished!” said the director. The members filled with joy cheered loudly.
The members started running to their choreography teacher suddenly surrounding him. When I think about that time, it looked like there was a secret being told amongst the five members then…. we were suddenly thrown into the sea!
The choreography teacher followed by director, were thrown into the sea in order.
However it wasn’t as bad as we expected, it was thoughtful and appreciated because it was an expression of love.
The evidence, being thrown out into the sea
Everyone was really happy
Ice cream puffsThere was a filming for a television program today. Right before the release of Love Bingo! The members are busy every day.
It was very hot in Tokyo early this morning that we had Ice cream today
Having to react to it first, Injun and Jay are still the maknae
The other 3 members seem not to notice that their 3 pieces of ice cream puffs were being eaten.
Noticing them first, Karam joined in saying "Isn't that my Ice cream?"
Always eating without the others knowing, the maknae are always like this.
Neither Mika nor Hyunmin noticed at the last minute
Katsu CurryYesterday's filming lunch location was situated at a well known Katsu Curry Shop. Karam who loves eating Katsu Curry was overjoyed.
Karam interval the location for the staff, accompanied by the words of 'Thank you very much for the hot meal' where the chocolate he brought along was distributed around.
The television staffs were deeply moved at this kind gesture, and in their first meeting too. It was Karam that paid close attention to the detailed points.
Event in Okinawa Part 6This jam packed event schedule in Okinawa under the hot weather went by taking photos for the PV
In their most serious moments, the members are always worried about their surroundings as the staffs are taking photos.
Always distributing drinks to the backup dancers, giving them extra breaks and always providing box lunches to the staff during lunch.
The consideration of the members leaves a large impression to everyone they first meet, especially the staff they met at Okinawa. It’s no wonder why they are loved by all staff they meet.
MADE IN BS JAPANDaikoku Danji are going to appear on BS JAPAN today after a long time!
Their appearance became strong through the debut
After their debut, the member’s appearance became stronger to show fans their inner personality.
Looking in the dressing room, Injun can be seen on twitter eating sweets with Jay who's also dancing whereas Mika is practicing their new song. Karam can be seen studying Japanese while Hyunmin is in his own world drawing.
Because the broadcast will be on air at 6 o'clock, please look forward to it by all means.
Hide and seekEven though BS JAPAN has ended safely, the rest of today's schedule have yet to end. There's still three more coverage to be done yet all the members of Daikoku Danji still work hard, even though they're tired when eating curry for dinner.
Hide-and-seek seems to be a boom in the members as they always hide how they truly feel to begin with!
Mika is usually the calm leader, hiding oneself in the cracks of the door with a smile. Is that unexpected?
To Karam, Mika is still found with a smile. It seems like the younger group than just hide and seek.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!In between the interviews, a cake from the magazine company was presented. It was an early birthday cake for Mika and Karam.
Before they could blow out the candle, an acappella of 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!' was sung by Hyunmin and the maknae line.
It was a beautiful harmony
Love Exchange AssociationThe appearance by the members where the video explain the exchange association, were you able to see it?
Thank you everyone who has gathered to various places for the debut event. We want to make more events that will please the fans!
The members help the staff to make the greatest event. Because the event was thought with heartfelt sincerity and hard work, please come and play by all means.
There's an important reminder when participating in the event and that is to please enjoy the Love exchange event!
LetterYesterday at midnight, all the event coverage Daikoku Danji had to do was finally finished.
"Please lend me a pen and paper." Hyunmin suddenly asked
'I wonder what this is for?' I thought while passing him the pen and paper.
"As usual, thank you for your hard work" He said while writing on the piece of paper, on the staff's desk in the publicity department. "Because everyone is always working hard, I am really grateful"
The publicity staff that saw the message afterwards were greatly moved by this action. It was Hyunmin's act of compassion that impressed the staff.
HobbiesThe hobbies for the 3 eldest members of Daikoku Danji.
Mika: Reading
Karam: Soccer
Hyunmin: Buying Books
Hyunmin only seems to buy books without reading them.
“Books are fun to buy!” Hyunmin boasted
Jay's collection of personal phrasesThis morning Daikoku Danji had a preparation appearance for a TV program today.
Suddenly Jay in between rehearsal said "Anta (you)" A mysterious remark.
When we asked him to repeat that remark again, "Anta (you)" was repeated. Because Jay is not too good with words, he did not use the word properly.
Apparently to Jay, the word "Anta (you)" means "Anzen no tame ni (for safety)" because the television staff had said this words which seems to have been shorten.
It is Jay's collection of personal phrases called 'Jeppo'
LunchAfter the live broadcast finished safely today, Dakoku Danji had hamburgers for lunch!
The maknae, Injun and Jay has cheeseburgers while the older trio had Teriyaki burger.
