CNBLUE focusing on live performances
“We were so surprised by the news that “I Don’t Know Why” was at #7 in the Oricon (chart). We appreciate all the fans who love our music and will put our effort to do the best.”
CNBLUE went to Japan in 2008 to study music without any particular plan and performed on streets and in small live halls so that they could improve their live performance. As a result, here come 4 members of CNLBUE who sparkle with their passion and effort at this stage.
CNBLUE released their 2nd Japanese single “I Don’t Know Why” on 16th September and performed live at a concert in Osaka, followed by Nagoya. The 3rd and last performance for Japan’s “Listen to the CNBLUE” live tour was at Shibuya-ax, Tokyo on 20th.
CNBLUE performed 23 pieces including ‘Love Revolution’ ‘Now or Never’ and ‘Love’. The 2nd single title song, “I Don’t Know Why” composed and written by CNBLUE leader, Jung Yong Hwa and “Lie” composed by Lee Jung Hyun captivated all the fans.
During the interview, Jung Yong Hwa revealed,” We were passing by Harajuku police station, the place where we were put into jail due to the unauthorized street performance last year and we were telling people ‘Please buy a lot of our cds’. So we were so glad to hear that the 2nd single reached 7th place in Oricon because of the love and support of our fans.”
“I still remembered vividly, as if it was only yesterday how nervous we were 1 year ago to perfume a 1-hour one man live concert in September. But we felt so much achievement after the concert. We will not forget those memories and will do our best to be a better and improved band. Please stay with us always.”
The fans in the concert celebrated Jungshin’s 19th birthday with cake and birthday song. There was an announcement saying that CNBLUE will hold the first fan meeting in Japan and it made the fans happy and shout for joy.
Due to the fact that their concert tickets were sold out all the time whenever purchase of tickets were open, fans called the concert “cannot-be-attended-even-though-wanted”, there were many fans waiting and queuing with a huge line at the concert hall to watch CNBLUE’s performance and 300 fans who couldn’t purchase the tickets were waiting outside to support them.
In the press interview right before the concert, CNBLUE said, “The new single album is the process of finding our style of music, which makes the album to be more attached to us,” and they gave their opinion, “We are surprised by reaching the 7th spot in Oricon and appreciate all the fans who love our music and will put our effort to do better”.
“We want to perform live in streets and live hall like old days and as a band, we will do the best in our live performances and will put our endless effort to be the most anticipated band for the future.”

Tower Records Tweets Impressions of CNBLUE
そしてCNBLUE渋谷AX公演ですが、前回喉の不調により100%の力が出し切れなかったヨンファ君、「今日はリヴェンジです!」と言い放ったのに相応しい<声の力>を見せつけてくれました。本当に唯一無比の声、と思いました。凄いヴォーカリストです。 (よ)
And now about CN BLUE Shibuya AX Concert, Yong Hwa who before can’t gave 100% of his strength because of his throat’s condition, said that 「today i will do my “revenge”!」 and definitely show his “Power of Voice”. The trully uncomparable voice. He is a great vocalist.
他のK-POPアーティストでは韓国語曲の方が好きなことが多いのですが、CNBLUEに関しては個人的に日本盤の曲がより大好きな(よ)です。今日の“Teardrops in the rain”から“The Way part 3 ~eclipse~”の流れは感動しました…。 (よ)
On other Korean artists, there are lots of my favorite korean songs, but for CN BLUE personally i like more their Japanese edition songs. Today from “Teardrops in the rain” to “The Way Part 3 ~ eclipse~” were flowed and i was impressed.
ヨンファ君も凄いけれど、ジョンヒョン君の真摯で伸びやかな歌声も何度聞いても素晴らしいです。2人の声が重なった時、本当にこの2人が同じバンドにいることが奇跡みたいだと思いました。 (よ)
Yong Hwa is great, and Jong Hyun’s sincere voice is also awesome, no matter how many times i listen to it. When those two voices overlap with each other, i think it’s really a miracle that these two can be in one band.
ドラムのミンヒョク君は軽やかに叩くのに、太くてダイナミックなドラミング。ジョンシン君が所々入れるラップがタイトで、絶妙なスパイスで。そしてジョンシン君、モデルみたいに手足が長くて、小顔でカッコよかったです^^ (よ)
The drummer Min Hyuk is looks like tapping lightly but actually he did thick and dynamic drumming. Jung Shin’s additional raps are tight, it’s give the exquisite “spice”. And Jung shin looks like a model, with high stature and small face, he is so cool. ^^
昨夜のCNBLUEライヴの感想に沢山のリプライ頂き有難うございました!近くで観られなくなると寂しいですが、もっと沢山の人達と彼らのライヴを共有したいという気持ちも強いです。そして何度も言いますが、男性ファンも増えて欲しいです(笑) (よ)
Thank you for lots of replies for my impression of CN BLUE tonight! I’m sad because unable to get a close look, but my feelings to want to share more about them with many people is getting stronger. (laugh)
