(Very) Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese/ Korean:
(Skipped the beginning, since it is the same as every other interview)

-- We want to know more about Tenjochiki, let's start with Stephanie.
Dana: Stephanie is a person with two sides: sexy and tough.
Sunday: She's a chameleon (laughs). Also the best dancer out of all of us.

-- Flexible in dance performances and an attraction of Tenjochiki. Now Dana.
Stephanie: One of the gags of the group is Dana's vocal impersonations. She always has us laughing.
Dana: I like to make people laugh.

-- Well, greet us in a different voice.
Dana: Not now... (laughs)
Sunday: She is also a tough person who can make you feel shame!! (She's talking about how Dana is usually tough and blunt on people)
Dana: I do not have this image while singing in front of people (laughs).

-- You clearly don't have that image in the "Here" PV.
Lina: But we were just being characters, we are still like that (she means, they are their normal selves.)

-- Onto Sunday...
Lina: Sunday is in charge of the cuteness of Tenjochiki, but she is very cool also.
Stephanie: She is responsible for the bokeh (laughs). (Bokeh, is a term referring to the part of a photo which is out of focus or blurry. Pretty much the background blur of a photo. Long story short, fourth dimensinonal.)
Dana: Sunday is a female who likes the skeletal designs (Jack Skeleton), jumping around to music, talking in a loud voice, and has great style.

-- And lastly, Lina.
Dana: She is the oldest, but always concedes to us who are younger... But occasionally she puts us in order.
Lina: The three of them have O type blood, so they overwhelm me at times. (Lina has type A blood)
Sunday: Lina is very nice and has a warm personality.
Stephanie: She cooks good food.

-- Lina sounds like an ideal wife!
Stephanie: It's because she cooks well.

-- So far, you all have done mostly dance numbers, how did this new style come about?
Lina: We knew Cliff Edge was a hip hop group, but it wasn't until we matched our harmonies together in the studio did the song really come about. We believe this is the beginning of a new style for Tenjochiki.
Stephanie: Our goal is always to make good music. Until now, our songs have had a faster beat. But this time, we really want the people to listen to the lyrics. We have put in both our feelings and emotions.

-- This song also seems to mix the thoughts of both males and females.
Dana: This is good! The lyrics were for "Homeless Middle School Student," but go much deeper than that. The lyrics that Cliff Edge wrote are a representation of how we have been living. Since we are not in Korea now, this song helps us to think about our friends and family not with us.
Sunday: The song is about thanking your friends, family, and all the people around you. Just listening to the melody helps you to remember them.

(Very) Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Korean/ Japanese:
Thanks to the movie and Drama, "Homeless Middle School Student," the collaboration between Cliff Edge and Tenjochiki has exposed both group's harmonies to a greater audience.

-- Please describe each member of the group.
Stephanie: In PVs, Sunday has a really sexy character, but in actuality, she is really cute. Don't let her fool you (laughs).
Sunday: I cannot deny it, but since I've lived in Japan, its okay to act this way. Dana is the charm and happiness of the group. Sometimes, she is tough checking up on us and tells us to "straighten up," but if you are crying or down, she will be the one there to help you out.
Dana: The oldest of the group is Lina.
Lina: Come on, I was just born "a little" before you all (laughs).
Dana: Well, I wanted them to know our positions from youngest to oldest. In many ways she is the care taker. I'm envious of her good cooking. She will be a great wife in the future (laughs).
Lina: The youngest daughter is Stephanie. She is usually tough on herself trying to do things very good. She is very feminine and seems to be a man's type. But, I think it will be a while until she reaches cuteness (laughs).

-- How did you feel after completing "Here?"
Sunday: The song was finished around May and the first people to hear it was us, Cliff Edge, and the producers.
Stephanie: Our greatest strength is our harmony. Many people thought it was one lead singer singing and not all of us together. Each individual solo allowed us to show our true colors. I believe this song gives off courage and strength.
Dana: This song is a whole different side of Tenjochiki. Our harmonies create a balance that leads up to each individual solo.
Lina: In Japan, you send a more direct message, and with the different accent we have to work more on that. But if their is one thing I believe in, it's our harmonies!

As everyone here continues to enjoy the success of "Here," just the other day...

The new PV and album jacket for the next single was filmed!

We are working fast, but since we are afraid of the company (laughs) we got the preliminary work done for the future release. The release date is not set, but I can tell you it is in the near future. Until then, keep listening to "Here!"

On to other news, the schedule for Tenjochiki in November will focus more on production than the big October promotions. Promotions for the next release will begin near the end of the year, beginning of next year. This is just a short time, so please have patience!

We are still keeping a lot of information from you, but keep checking the homepage to see the latest news!

Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:
Exceeding 2.2 million copies sold and written by one-half of the comedy duo Kirin, Hiroshi Tamura's autobiography entitled "Homeless Middle School Student" has become both a drama and a movie this year. Tenjochiki, the four woman chorus and dance group from South Korea was put in charge of the theme song for both movie and drama. All are above 165cm tall with remarkable charm and beauty. To help them with the theme song, they collaborated with soaring in popularity Hip Hop Group, Cliff Edge. Were they born to collaborate together? Watch both the drama and movie for the theme song to find out!

- The theme song was for both the drama and the movie, how do you feel about each?

Sunday: Yes, we did the theme for the original tv series and movie. Tamura said he had a homeless experience in middle school, and it made the content of the novel so much more interesting. In addition, he overcame a tough time and allowed his dream to be fulfilled. He got through it all with courage and hard work.

Dana: We are currently not with our families, but active in Japan. With that, he can feel sympathy with the story concerning being away from our parents. When we first read the story we thought, "Ah, this story is really good!" But afterwards, we began fully immersed in it when we began working on "Here."

Lina: I was very impressed by the movie, but I was even more moved when I heard the song being played too.

Stephanie: Yeah. I was moved twice. The seven of us, Tenjochiki and Cliff Edge, have created a moment that caused me so much happiness I cried.

- In the song "Here" there is the phrase "Happy Birthday" which is repeating often. What is the significance of this phrase?

Stephanie: The original version of the song is "Here's to You" by Cliff Edge. The originally lyrics were "thank you for being born," we changed it to "Happy Birthday." With the connection to the movie, although the main character is alone after the disappearance of both parents, he is still going to celebrate his feelings with his rice. I really like the lyrics, because it signifies thanking everyone around you for being born and coming into your life. However, life is not only filled with joy and happiness, but also worry and sadness. The song encompasses all of this.

- What do you want Escala readers to feel when they listen to the song?

Lina: The song can also being used with relationships. Sometimes I may feel depressed. But, when I listen to this song, "I know I'm not alone because of family, loved ones and friends... there are a lot of people that love me." I want to have that power.

Sunday: It is also important to make people feel important. Each small personal thank you should me expressed, never forget to move on and have a heart.

- Tenjochiki had a new challenge singing the chorus to "Here," but you all sang very vibrantly. And in the B-side track "Near," you all spoke of lyrics that normal people feel. It feels as if you all sang this song for all women!

Lina: The moment I read the lyrics I knew exactly what they meant. The producer, Satoru Akira, wrote the lyrics so realistically, any girl can identify with them.

Sunday: Girls are always thinking, at the beginning and end of the day, what they want to do with their boyfriends. So the lyrics are to express the boy who takes no notice or just doesn't care.

Dana: With the way the man acts in the song, you begins to like the girl and want to know more about her.

- Doing this interview, it is a very cozy atmosphere and a calm chat. Before the formation of Tenjochiki, you all were doing individual activities. Is it better being together?

Stephanie: There are lots of advantages. Now, we have two people living in each apartment, so the presence is more family-like. There is no more time to feel lonely. Plus, each girl is "special," which also makes for a pleasant scene.

Dana: We originally wanted to do all types of genres. So, we overlapped each others voices to create a unique chorus. Being active in this group is my happiest time.

Stephanie: For example, if we are taking a break, someone starts singing in a little hum, and the other three all jump in. Immediately we begin singing songs (laughs).

Lina: We all draw a line between work and privacy. The group is very balanced and we do not fight.

Dana: We do have minor disagreements, but once the senior member Lina speaks, we all obey at once!

- With your longs legs and beautiful chorus, you all take full advantage of your dance performances. Since your re-debut in Japan in 2007 and your rapidly growing popularity, what are your future goals.

Sunday: I would like to learn more Japanese so I can communicate more with the hearts and minds of our fans.

Dana: I feel our harmony is most important. We want people to listen to our songs and enjoy both the tune and harmony.

Lina: To do more things like "Here." It was a big challenge trying a new genre, and I wouldn't mind doing it again.

Stephanie: The goal is to have our music loved by everyone. We want people to love our song and dance regardless of the genre. As long as we continue to improve, I believe we can achieve this.

- Looking toward the future, what are you aiming for?

Dana: Male of female, should work for equal rights for women. For example, tackle the job in a professional sense. If there is a hurdle, clear the hurdle. Even if it is a difficult job, tackle it with a warm heart. I have a cool job, so I'm content

Sunday: I was born into a family of all girls, but I turned out good.

Stephanie: (For my parents) It was to be a good child. (laughs) In the future, I'd like to be a wife and a good mother to my child. That's my goal. But now, being an artist is my top priority!

Lina: I want to be a happy house wife (laughs). To work on the interior design and take care of the houseplants.

- Finally a message to readers!

Sunday: On behalf of (laughs), Tenjochiki and Cliff Edge, we put a lot of effort into the single, so please listen to it. Also, please look out for the movie "Homeless Middle School Student." Lastly, Tenjochiki will be continuing activities in Japan, so please support us.

Sincerely also, Dana・Stephanie・Lina!

Cliff Edge and Tenjochiki sang the theme song to the movie Homeless Middle School Student, "Here," at Tokyo Disney Resort's "IKSPIARI" Christmas Tree Lighting event.

Tenjochiki appeared first, wearing sexy black outfits, and began the event with a lively performance of "Stand Up People." The audience was captivated by the girls' sexy and powerful performance. The second song, in honor of the Tree Lighting, was an a cappella performance of "Silent Night."

When the host asked the members about a Christmas memory, Dana replied, "2006 was the first Christmas where all of us were in Japan. We got all dressed up and went around to different restaurants only to find out they were all booked, so we all just went back home and made a lot of home-made dishes, throwing our own little Christmas party together. We hope that you all have a nice Christmas."

When asked about how they will spend this Christmas Dana replied, "Perhaps with the fans, so that we can all be together."

On 10/23, S'inChina front-line YOYO went to the mini live/hand shake event at Tower Records in Shinjuku

She got there at about 5:30, the staff started building the mini stage, the stage was tiny for four people it was alright but for seven, someone will definitely fall.

There weren't alot of people there because a lot of fans are still at the event at Shibuya, so she had time to buy the single and successfully get a ticket for the handshake event. Dedicated Japanese fan T-kun and A-kun rushed over, right after the Shibuya event.

At 6:30, more and more people came. YO was happy that she was in the first row but the staff had them line up near the stairs. According to the ticket number and her's was no. 101 ... she had to stand in the last row.

YOYO said that there was a male fan that screamed "Sunday!!" really loud and really scared her, it ended up being the male Sunday fan that the girls talked about in Happy Days.

The girls entered and started with "Stand Up People", the atmosphere started heating up. As soon as the song ended President D started the introduction, but the fans started going crazy and screaming the girls' names. Even with a microphone Dana's voice was completely covered.

"Is everyone listening?!!" Dana yelled and the crowd went silent, she laughed afterwards. The tone was as if she was a teacher yelling at her student or a parent yelling at her child.

YOYO said that the girls' Japanese is getting better and better and they started talking ... Stephanie raised her left hand and on her wrist was a big red "S"
she joked that she got hurt. It was drawn on by a staff incase they forgot their names.

D raised her hand too and it said "1 1 1." She said when the staff asked her what she wanted earlier, she said that she wish to get No. 1 on Oricon that's why she drew three big 1s ... Lina said that three 1s make 111 (one hundred and eleven). Dana was shocked and yelled "ah! no ! no!! that's not what I meant!!" The stage went into chaos.

After that was "Near." When Lina raised her microphone and really began to sing, she and YOYO looked into each other's eyes. It was a little awkward, so YO waved at her, her action was surprising and almost cause Lina to laugh and crack.

Then, it was "Here" ... Cliff Edge came on. Over 6 months, they became really good friends and can talk without all the manners, Dana went on to complain on how their attitudes completely changed. When they first meet, Cliff Edge would greet them politely and say 'yoroshiku onegai shimasu.' When they see each other in their rest room, now it's just 'oh~ you came'

When YOYO saw Sunday, before she started speaking, Sunday's eye widen and asked "Did you eat yet?" YO's mind went blank and went directly to Lina.

(btw ... the girls and their manager know YOYO well)

Lina said 'hello' 'thank you' and such in Chinese, then YO starts to react to Sunday's question, while holding Lina's hand, she yell 'not yet! let's go eat together!!' (J)

(the letter in the bracket is the language they spoke in)

YO got to Dana and called her 'President' and her face lit up
Y: Were you happy when you went to Shanghai in September? (J)
D: Yes, the Chinese fans are so passionate/welcoming (J)
D: I like China!! (C)
Y: If you have a chance, go to Beijing and I'll treat you to Peking Duck (J)

after Dana it was Stephanie
S: YOYO !! (J)
Y: Stephanie-chan, Happy Birthday!!! (J)
YOYO stuff the present into Stephanie's hand and tell her to look at it (I think the present was from Stephanie's Baidu Bar and S'inChina, not very sure)
Stephanie couldn't stop saying 'xie xie' (Thank you in Chinese)
