Who Are TSZX?

Lina - Dana - Stephanie - Sunday

The Grace (Korean: 천상지희 더 그레이스; Chinese: 天上智喜 The Grace) is a South Korean a capella girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2005. It consists of four members that specialize in singing, dancing, and acting.


The Grace was known as TSZX before the promotion of their 3rd Korean single (My Everything) around the end of 2006, at which the group changed their name to The Grace to signal the change of the group's style to a more “graceful” one. TSZX is the romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation, Tiān Shàng Zhì Xǐ. In Japan, the group is still officially known as Tenjōchiki, which is also abbreviated (though less frequently) as TJCK.

FAnet Fashion Mini Interviews

Posted by Anonymous On Tuesday, December 30, 2008 1 comments
Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:

Sunday,
-- How did you like the fashion coordination in today's shoot?
- The clothes for today's shoot were very fresh! I like to put on a combination of my favorite pieces. Like a men's leather jacket on top of a dressy dress with a nice bag to match. With the clothes from the shoot, I like the black blouse and the skirt color is not too flashy.

-- Describe one song from your new album "Dear..."
- The song, "Party," is aimed at young females like us. It is meant to be played to enjoy the freedom of youth, even if your heart is full of loneliness. I try to live with a free mind and consider it positive. The song has a strong melody and powerful beat. Please listen to it!


Lina,
-- How did you like the fashion coordination of today's shoot?
- I think this style is closest to what I would dress like. Mainly the pants, which are easy to wear and can be used in both summer and winter. This summer I also bought a beret and a checkered coat, so my style is mainly boyish.

-- Describe one song from your new album "Dear..."
- "天上のメロディー/ Tenjo no Melody," it was my first time writing lyrics! I had to re-write the lyrics more than once. Dana said that she liked the previous lyrics and not the re-written ones. I told the producer "This is Dana's~." Since I am competitive, I took what was written and wrote the opposite. (laughs)


Dana,
-- How did you like the fashion coordination of today's shoot?
- I usually wear pants in photoshoots, and this one feels like a suit. I love the scarf and the arrangement of it in the shoot. I recently bought a leather jacket for winter and am excited just thinking about what I want to wear with it. ♪

-- Describe one song from your new album "Dear..."
- "少しでいいから/ A Little Good," it is a large scale musical piece with orchestral elements. It is a great song that uses good harmony to bring comfort. While practicing, I focused on singing with as much emotion as possible. Sometimes, I have a little too much pride and it can be hard to regret what I have previously said. There is some overlap with myself and the song, so I try to evoke those feelings. Please listen to it. ♪

Note: Stephanie is still not participating in promotional activities, which is why there is no interview for her.

We also announced the addition of five new songs! The DVD will also include all the PVs Tenjochiki has released up until now. By doing this, we hope to satisfy both old and new fans.

We are planning to release the new HP on Friday... Wait for it...

Driver's Saloon Interview Part II

Posted by Anonymous On Monday, December 01, 2008 0 comments
Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:
-- Kashima: Also, on October 5th at ZEPP Tokyo in Odaiba, "Dream Drive Live" will take place in the Toyota Showroom. Of course there will be live music. As you know, one of the best performers will be there also, Tenjochiki.

- Sunday: Thank you, we're looking forward to it.

-- Kashima: This is the sixth year of the event, but the first time I will be involved in producing it. Every year we receive ideas from artists, and it has never led us in the wrong direct. We are in the arranging stages now, and are looking forward to the event.

- Dana: We are looking forward to it also. Will there be various types of cars.

-- Kashima: Yes. Surely we will have old cars racing new cars. I sat in one of the cars during a rehearsal.

- Dana: I want to be in an old racing car!

-- Kashima: The event is between 3:30 and 5:30 and features a demonstration of the collaborative performance of the racing cars. Admission if free starting October 5th. Then on October 25, the theme song to "Homeless Middle School Student" is released.

- Both: No!

-- Kashima: Haha. Here, the single will be released October 22 and the movie will open October 25. What did you think of the movie?

- Sunday: We were very impressed. All our eyes were swolled after watching a sad scene. It is a warm film and we recommend it to everyone.

- Dana: Make sure to bring tissue.

-- Kashima: I see. I really appreciate hearing your stories. I will see you all at Toyota's Odaiba Showcase. Thank you very much.

- Both: Thank you!

Good evening, this is Lina.
Everyone knows about our December 24th Ikspiari activities right?

Right now all the members are considering how to plan,
because that day is rather special.
In the end I think singing the songs everyone wants to hear would be best.

Hope everyone can tell us... [what songs they would like to listen to at the event]

More people tell us please,
Everyone is waiting for the requests.


11/28
This is director Dana, going out to Harajuku.

[skipped two lines here cause i couldn't understand them]
We received everyone's requests~, Thank you~ they'll definitely be considered and used as references~
Now we're discussing with the team, really looking forward to the event~

Ah! Right right,
少しでいいから (Sukoshi De Ii Kara/ A Bit of Good), everyone hurry and download it.


11/29
This is big sister, who has caught a little cold. [I'm assuming it's steph]
Although I took a flu shot in October

it has turned cold recently, so it seems like I was still able to catch a cold.
Everyone also needs to be careful.

Before, Lina mentioned the new album
Today the covers of the album finally come out
Let everyone see them!

A while ago in the Gree blog we reported to everyone at Mount Fuji

The closeness to the mountain portrayed a natural feeling [this line is probably really off]

Regarded to be Tenjochiki's
new concept?

All the team members really like it. ^^;

What did everyone think of it????

We already saw the PV,
Really...
Want to hurry and let everyone see it.
Everyone please look forward to it~
