Loosely translated and paraphrased from Japanese:
Released last year, the book "Homeless Middle School Student" has already sold 2.2 million copies (July 2008). It is the autobiography of Hiroshi Tamura, one half of the comedy duo Kirin.

Both the film's star Koike Teppei and director Chihiro Kameyama said the highlight of the film is the song "Here," a collaboration between TSZX and Cliff Edge.

[Talking Event]
Project director Chihiro Kameyama, Fuji Film: Hello everyone and welcome.

MC: Today we are in Odaiba, Japan for the beginning of the film festival.

Kameyama, director: After hearing the theme song for the movie by TSZX and Cliff Edge, I really can't wait for the October 25 release date. The film was completed in late September, and today we are allowing 132 special guests the opportunity to watch the opening. We expect many tears today.

MC: Allowing us to see the film two months before the public is not right, but allowing Koike Teppei to join us lightens the atmosphere.

Kameyama, director: Koike Teppei came to watch the other movies.

MC: How was the environment after everyone had seen it.

Kameyama, director: After the editing, everyone got tears in their eyes and began to look down.

MC: Anyway, the theme song by TSZX and Cliff Edge is really good.

Kameyama, director: It flows the best near the ending. The song with the images...

MC: The tears just wouldn't stop flowing near the end (laughs)!

Kameyama, director: The hall was dark but the bright moments in the movie made you think.

MC: The ending theme is of great importance right?

Kameyama, director: It's very important and I am very grateful for their help.

MC: Here to sing the theme song is TSZX with special guest Koike Teppai!

MC: (Tremendous cheers) Calm!! Stay calm!! They won't escape!! (laughs) TSZX, you have already seen the movie, what are your thoughts?

Sunday: I was really impressed. Koike Teppei did a great performance and I think it is a very good movie.

Lina: I was also impressed by the message. It is painful, sad, and funny.

Dana: Koike Teppei did a really good performance. Through watching the movie, I look forward to living positively with courage.

Stephanie: I was very impressed. My family now lives in the US and it made me want to see them.

Kameyama, director: I'm happy. I had not read the original story, so based off your comments about the movie... I think we did a good job.

MC: Koike Teppei, what are your thoughts about 'Here'?

Koike Teppei (as Hiroshi Tamura): The first time I heard it, it stayed with me. I think it is better than the movie. It is a really good song.

TSZX: Thank You.

MC: Koike, how was it playing a middle school student.

Koike: Well, I'm 22 years old, so there is about a difference of 10 years. When I mention I would play the role, a lot of people were confused. Without thinking deeply about homelessness, I thought I could play the role. If you see the movie you will know why. Although the title is "Homeless Middle School Student," it is about a boy growing up.

MC: At the beginning of the movie, you can see the early stage of Tamura's life. TSZX, how did Koike play the role of Tamura.

Sunday: It was good from what I saw (laughs). Actually, I do not know who the original Tamura is.

MC: Koike, I am quite uncertain of your age (laughs).

Koike: What do you mean? (laughs)

MC: It means you look young (laughs). TSZX, what are your thoughts about Koike?

Lina: I think he's really cool.

Stephanie: Very friendly and cool.

Kameyama, director: Well, in the film he gets in trouble a lot. He also acts like an idiot too (venue laughs). But he acts like a normal middle school student and does the job beautifully.

MC: I guess you received good coaching.

Koike: Yes, I "became an idiot," a lot of NG and "do not do that's" were often said.

MC: TSZX, what will your future activities be like.

Sunday: In October, alongside the release of "Homeless Middle School Student" we will be releasing the theme song "Here." There will also be some lives.

MC: Now we will move into the performance of "Here!" (Venue cheers)

[Live Performance: Cliff Edge comes out to perform the theme song "Here" and other songs!]

Sunday: It was really hot but people kept cheering, I was very impressed, thank you!

Lina: I had a great time, thank you!

Dana: For "Homeless Middle School Student," TSZX and Cliff Edge, please show a lot of love. Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you!

Stephanie: Please continue to support us! Thank you!

It has been 10 days since the staff diary has been updated and we apologize. TSZX has been really busy which is the reason for our delay.

TSZX has been a big topic recently, and announced on the HP but not in the blog, they performed on 9/24 at the Tokyo International Forum with Cliff Edge for the sneak preview of "Homeless Middle School Student." On the day of the performance we were wondering how many fans would be there for TSZX.

Once the event happened, the girls received a great response. We would like to thank everyone who participated!

Recent days have been filled with photoshoots and interviews. In October you will be able to see TSZX in magazines and on TV in your living room! We will continue to cover it all in the staff diary, so please look forward to it!

Staff Diary

Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Korean:
TSZX, who has been recently staying in Japan, released their most recent appearance on their homepage.

TSZX has been spending the last three months in Japan and after announcement of new concerts, will continue their stay in Japan.

The natural look of the released pictures has caused interest for many of the fans.

The photo shoot took place on the streets of Shibuya. Sunday's pictures were the latest released.

They showed a pure look in cool clothing as they released pictures of them walking throw Shibuya.

The absence of Stephanie from the pictures sparked the curiosity of many fans.

TSZX are known to be very mature on stage, but we have a feeling they are innocent, cute and vivacious off the stage.

Yesterday, TSZX and Cliff Edge received media coverage. Every weekend in August I was feeling something I hadn't felt in years. Why was I awkward with TSZX? Because it's TSZX! I think many people would suddenly, no, I did even, cry.

Each of the characters is in their name:
Stephanie: Dancer (天)
Lina: Beauty (上)
Sunday: Voice (智)
Dana: Happiness (喜)

They are really amazing, but I'm just a speaker:
Stephanie is a good dancer
Lina looks beautiful
Sunday is singing to the norinori
And Dana is always: "Georgia, I will smile and yell!"

It is really surprising and exciting looking into their name.

We just finished shooting and are still hyper:


Looking back on the interview, it felt like the good old days. We have now become good friends with TSZX!

Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:
- Cheon Sang Ji Hee is a group where the members have had solo activities in the past in South Korea?

Stephanie: Yes. The members of the group have had solo songs before Cheon Sang Ji Hee's official debut in April 2005. This is everyone's first debut in Japan besides Sunday.

- Yeah, Sunday debuted a year ago in Japan right?

Sunday: Yes. But I knew being solo and being in a group would bring different types of tension. Of course it was also encouraging. Of the four members of Cheon Sang Ji Hee, three of them it is their first time in Japan. We took great care with the first recording and I think they found a lot of difficulty with the language barrier.

Dana: This was my first time in Japan, with all the activities, living environment and recording, it was very overwhelming.

Lina: When I tried to record with the Japanese accent many of the staff looked a little annoyed with me. Still, the staff was friendly and worked with us to overcome these problems.

Stephanie: When I heard we were going to debut in Japan I was very happy. But when we actually began recording, I felt a lot of pressure. After the singing was done and everyone was satisfied, I think a lot of people will want to listen!

- Your debut song 'Boomerang' deals with a cheating relationship. The single-minded thoughts of a guy the girl loves. In the end, he decided to say goodbye but the girl's strong will carries the song.

Lina: Yes, strong emotions were necessary to sing this song.

- Yes, the four vocals contributed to a very strong atmosphere and much needed momentum for the song.

Stephanie: Yes. We wanted the sound to leave a very strong impression.

Dana: The phrase I like is '今夜も獲物探す/ tonight I will find my prey,' having this much free expression is really fun.

- Looking into the content of the song, I feel that it will do well in the charts.

Sunday: Really? That's great! 'Boomerang' is a song that was made for our South Korean activities. I though singing the same lyrics in Japanese would be hard. However, a strong image of women is expressed in the dance. A version will also be released with the PV so please look forward to it!

- The b-side is 'Do You Know?' In comparison to 'Boomerang' it has a very gentle melody.

Sunday: Yes, it has a cute girl image and is filled with positive feelings. The song has me as the main vocals while the other three help with the chorus. We all like the song, and with me as the main vocals I get to sing the way I want to!

Lina: This is a style of song that is sung in Korea, so it was very fresh to work on it. But since we are an a cappella group, it worked also.

Dana: In Korea we do a cappella and R&B songs in addition to having good beauty and harmony. We hope to sing more songs like this in the future in Japan so please look forward to it!

Stephanie: For all the songs I helped with the choreography! A cappella, dance, songs of different genres, Cheon Sang Ji Hee delivers many independent styles. One day, I hope to do a live concert.

- I look forward to that. However, with working in Korea and studying Japanese, you also have two more months in Japan right? Your Japanese must being really good then!

All: Not yet.

Sunday: I've gotten into the habit of saying they still aren't there yet (laughs). They work hard every day studying Japanese, so they remember things quickly (laughs).

- Oh yeah, that's right (laughs). We forgot that Sunday has perfect Japanese.

Stephanie: Yes, Sunday is our Japanese teacher! We work hard to look good for the Japanese public.

Sunday: Oh no, I'm still not fluent yet (laughs). I have to be careful talking in front of these three. But please, continue to watch the four of us and cheer!

Jang Geun Suk also had another confession regarding when he saw TSZX perform live. On an SBS music show TSZX appeared, but Jang Geun Suk did not see Stephanie in a brotherly way, but saw her sexy dance moves.

Sohu Han Yu: What is your impression of China?

Sunday: It has been a long time since we have been in China, but the fans are still enthusiastic as they were in the past. We look forward to coming to China.

Sohu Han Yu: Since you have been releasing singles in Japan, will you also be expanding into China?

Lina: Of course!

Sohu Han Yu: It has been a long time since you have come to China, what do you want to say to your fans?

Dana: (Chinese) Cheers for us!/Give us your support!

Stephanie: (Chinese) Come on!

Dana: (Chinese) We forget... Chinese is very difficult.

Lina: It has really been a long time since we have been to China, we missed everyone here, and if we have the chance, we hope to return soon to meet all of you.

Saitama Korean Festival has recently announced a Dream Team Collaboration Live! Featuring performances by MAY'S, Cliff Edge, and Tenjochiki (TSZX, CSJH The Grace).

In 2007, the release of "BIRTH ~ ~ You're the only one Pt.2 feat.MAY 'S" reached the second place on the weekly Oricon charts, and an eight week run on it. No. 1 topic in May 2008 called "To You" debuted as the major release for CLIFF EDGE. Japan's 2.2 million people were very impressed. Through this, the epic song, 'Here', collaboration between Cliff Edge and TSZX was made!

The July 2008 release is a major for CLIFF EDGE, and the MV is a controversial topic in the national spotlight for club scene unit R & B MAY'S!

In addition to sweeping the Korean music charts and already releasing 6 Japanese singles, one album, and a concert tour, the major Japanese debut of Tenjochiki--a group all more than 165 cm tall, unique beauty, dynamic chorus and dance--should attract attention!

Staff Diary

Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:
TSZX's new song, 'Here' is the theme song for the Homeless Middle School Student (Homeless Chugakusei) drama series and movie. TSZX is a women's quartet, chorus and dance group.

As TSZX performed the intro the TV Mezamashi, it seems as if their popularity is growing. According to the Korean fans, if you went to the event, you enjoyed the live. This was the first time I saw TSZX live, and I loved it.

Coming from the same management company as TVXQ, are TSZX serious about the Japanese market? Like TVXQ, they are from South Korea, and in Japan they work hard, not because they are encouraged or required to do so, but because they want to.

Looking back on the natural high I experienced while at the live, I remember hearing Japanese people talk about TSZX in a low voice. Many people may be asking now, "Who are TSZX?" It is not known for sure now, but this signifies the group's first major step into the Japanese market.
