!mu-mo Magazine May 2010 Issue –Xiah Junsu’s Interview

Q: The single album is a double A-side; how would you describe the overall album?
- It is a mix of both Western dance track along with a ballad track; I have always wanted to try these two musical styles for a long time. You can say that through this one single, one will be able to experience the different styles of Xiah Junsu.

Q: Were there anything that you took particular notice of during recording?
- I try to let myself be immersed within the song, so I made more effort to understand the contents of the lyrics, and thereafter, I recorded the song under that certain type of mood.
Q: You have been recognized for your vocal skills; is there any special methods you use to maintain the condition of your voice?
- My spirits will be dampened if my throat is uncomfortable, so I’m always very careful [about the condition of my throat]. If I do feel that the condition of my throat might worsen, I’ll try to speak lesser, drink more water, and brush my teeth with a mixture of vinegar and salt.
Q: Your twin brother, Junho, held a showcase in Japan earlier in April this year, and you also accompanied him on stage. Have you given him any advice so far?
- I didn’t give him any special advice, I only told him to maintain the belief that “I’m the world’s best!” when he is on stage.
Q: Along with your successful debut in the Korean musical “Mozart!” back in January, the scope of possibilites for you have since widened, so what are your future plans?
- My priority is still to resume my activities as a singer, to start my promotional activities on my single. In order to be able to meet everyone, I will work hard!
Q: It’s been six years since you’ve debuted in Japan, and you must have been to a lot of places in Japan due to all the concert tours. What is your favourite part of Japan?
- I like Shizuoka’s Shimoda Onsen! And Nagoya’s Hitsumabushi. I also think Odaiba is always beautiful no matter the time of the year!
Q: Finally, what do you want to say to the fans in Japan?
- I am Xiah Junsu! It’s been a long time but we can finally meet again soon! I’m really thankful for all the fans who have been waiting, and I can’t wait to show Xiah Junsu to all of you, along with the new music! Please support me!
