{TRANS} Detailed item description of SHINee’s new single “Fire”

This is a preview of our translation of a Rakuten item description about SHINee’s new single “Fire”. The rest of the translation can be found in the thread.

================

SHINee’s seventh Japanese single is titled “Fire”, which as the name suggests, has a theme of “the determination of love that is burning like a flash of flames.”
The song is a song that must be listened to for its splendid harmony, melding both a relaxing melody and a contemporary rhythm fitting of this generation.

The coupling song, “MOON RIVER WALTZ”, is a song about how from the moment of falling in love, one’s spirit is uplifted as if being charmed.

{TRANS} Onew and Minho for SHINee’s “TALK 2 YOU Vol.3” Interview in JILLE Magazine, February 2013

This is an excerpt of Onew and Minho’s interview in the February 2013 Issue of JILLE Magazine. Visit the forum to read the full interview.

==================

Minho: It’s only natural. We’re like real brothers, aren’t we?
Onew: That being said, I’m the older one and yet I feel like there are a lot of times where you’re the one who looks after me… (laughs)
Minho: Nah, you make up for my shortcomings all the time. You’ve always been doing that for me, you know? We were in charge of being MCs for a music show in Korea, right? Didn’t we help each other out a lot that time?
Onew: That’s right. We talked about a lot of things and made the program lively. The two of us really tried hard. We are similar in hating to lose, right? There will rarely be times when my competitive side emerges, but you are always concerned with competing and don’t compromise. I think that’s what makes you manly and cool. But there are times when I also think, “Isn’t he being too passionate?” (laughs). I want to go along with that side of yours. In the end, we’re probably just the same.
Minho: Maybe. I think the part that I’m still lacking in is your funny side.
Onew: I’m a comedian after all (laughs).

{TRANS} Minho’s Interview for High Cut January 2013 Issue

This is a snippet of Minho’s interview in the January 2013 issue of High Cut Magazine. Visit the thread for the full interview.

============

Kwanghee has recently bragged about how he’s close with you on <We Got Married> which became a hot topic. Who are the celebrities you’re usually closest to?
Kwanghee hyung’s personality is easy going and very fun. I feel brighter whenever I’m with him so we contact each other often and are friendly. The SHINee members are beyond the friendly scale and they’re just family now. Usually, (Choikang) Changmin hyung, Kyuhyun hyung, and I hang out together a lot. All three of us like alcohol so we occasionally have a drink and talk.

What are SHINee’s plans for this year?
We’re planning around this coming spring so we’ve been recording lately. There’s not much time left (until the comeback). We’re coming back after 1 year since our promotions in the beginning last year. I’m extremely looking forward to SHINee’s promotions this year. We have shown many sides of ourselves as 5 year old artists, but now our mission is to show a different kind of refreshing image. I believe we’ll be able to show off a new image this year as well. For some reason, I have a feeling we’ll receive a good outcome.

Will you continue to act this year?
I want to work on a lot of projects this year as well. I really feel that I’m still lacking so I have to build up a lot of experiences and I want to get my face out to the public through various projects.
