Official site renewal!
It's the renewal start of Daikoku Danji's official site staff blog which talks about the recording, performance, coverage, life etc of Daikoku Danji.
The real face and personality of members will be exposed here behind the scenes. Because we have this blog to write in, it is possible.
Our best regards.

Karam's Japanese proficiency
There was a television appearance meeting today. Since it was a live broadcast, some of the staff seemed to be worried. It was relieved to witness Karam making arrangements in 100% Japanese. Besides the meeting, when did Karam get so good?
When shooting the PV in Okinawa, many series of stories and impression were talked about. I was surprised at Karam who made various conversations in Japanese. Karam always carefully listen to our conversation and ask "What is the meaning of that word?" Because it is a daily effort for him to keep learning, Karam's Japanese proficiency is improving.
I'll shortly notify everyone when Karam will be appearing by himself in a show so please look forward to it.

Bingo! Games
Do you like the renewal site?
When Bingo! is released, please have fun playing the games. Please also enjoy the splendid wallpapers included!
The fun does not stop there!
Is there still anything else?!
The members of Daikoku Danji will have TV coverage and recording everyday due to the soon-to-be release of 'Love Bingo!' This also includes the preparation for release of the commemoration event.
Although this might be unexpected, the hard working leader Mika always keeps the members in order under instruction during rehearsal. He even makes sure every detail is correct and perfect.
Mika is reliable leader you can always count on.
Because the event is coming near, the members are all working hard to make it the best event!
Please come and play by all means everyone.

Hyunmin's Favorite Lyrics
Before recording, the content of the lyrics is always translated into Korean and after the content sung respectively is understood well, it is recorded.
All the members Japanese proficiency has improved recently. Surprisingly they even came to understand the content well, especially the Japanese lyrics.
The lyrics from the coupling song, '夏の記憶 (Memory in the summer)' from their second single 'Love Bingo!' is Hyunmin's favourite.
From the first time Hyunmin heard the demo, it seemed to have left a deep understanding of the lyrics in Japanese. It was even spoken very highly. Especially the part that Hyunmin sings which expresses poetry, and is sung incredible well.

Maknae
The maknae set, Injun and Jay are very good friends. During recordings, events, and interviews, these two are always with each other These two are especially the friendliest in the group where their charm leaves the staff shaken and breathless.
This is probably because their progress in learning Japanese is remarkable. They know many different kind of words to our surprise. For instance, "I came to really like seeing you soon"
Moreover, has Jay's growth increased fairly in stature compared to half a year ago? His change in voice seems to have ended safely too.
I hope in the future Jay’s singing part will increase little by little, and he’ll have more parts to sing.

Radio Recording
There was a radio recording the other day. The member’s hiragana and katakana are perfect though they're still not too good with kanji.
They read the script with enthusiasm, digesting the whole volume of Japanese scripts without an interpreter, even the full-length arrangements with production supervisor!
To win the game, the 'Love Bingo!' song has not been aired yet but... when it airs, you get to win the game safely!!!!!
"Because we got to work with many staff, we felt relieved going on air" their comment after the production.
They are truly the best fellows! It was a day that felt renewed because of the members.
Who is the member that brings people to tears with his comments?
Find out the answer tomorrow.

Thank you
The answer to the blog yesterday was Mika.
Mika ia always worried about the staff surrounding him, not limiting himself to just only the members. He's a wonderful fellow who once never forgot to show his gratitude even when he's tired and has a very busy schedule.
We're also very thankful to Daikoku Danji who are always willingly happy to help us behind the scene. One of the Japanese words that are often said by the members is 'Thank you."
Although it's a word that tends to be forgotten when you're having fun, I saw no real important to those words until I met the members of Daikoku Danji.
When you meet someone you're familiar with, why not say 'Thank you'?

Television Recording
After the greeting was done while waiting for the television recording time, the staff said "Please excuse us while at work"
Hyunmin upon seeing her at the department said "While working, Aimusori Higesori(I'm sorry shaver)!"
All the staff from the central office burst out laughing.
"Daikoku Danji, we're looking forward to doing business with you!"
The bowing members were very proud.

(T/N: Aimusori Higesori is a humorous Japanese phrase)

Nico Nico live broadcasting
We decided tomorrow to be the regulars for 'Daikoku Danji's Love stream'
It will be their first commemorable broadcast where various projects will be prepared so please check it out by all means. Because all the members of Daikoku Danji can read hiragana and katakana without any problem, please comment!

Specialties
During the debut event in April, the members loved eating Japanese food. All the famous cities they've been to, the place they ate have always been satisfying.

Fukuoka: Hot Pot
Osaka: Takoyaki (octopus ball), Grilled Squid, Kushi Katsu (Japanese style deep fried kebab)
Nagoya: Miso katsu (Pork cutlet with miso sauce), Tenmusu (tempura with seaweed covered rice ball)
Sapporo: Genghis Khan (Japanese grilled mutton dish)

The 'Love Bingo!' event is about to enjoy the release of a new specialty that the staff have prepared for the members.
The food candidate at the moment

Fukuoka: Mizutaki Hot pot
Osaka: Fugu (pufferfish)
Nagoya: Tebasaki (grilled chicken wings)
Sapporo: Crab

Because the Fugu (pufferfish) cannot be eaten by Karam, please recommend us something in Osaka!

The Usual smile
It's Daikoku Danji who has received much coverage before the life of Nico today. Although the first coverage will start soon, it's unusual that the weather is bad for fine men like them.
However, Injun's wonderful smile is the same always.
The two maknae, Injun and Jay are always the same in such high tension. Always playful with each other.

Western music
Footage of Stevie Wonder's live performance and interview can be seen during breaks where Hyunmin is eagerly watching.
Hyunmin really enjoys listening to western music. He's always passionately researching for more, imitating them while watching the videos today.

Nico life ends
Nico life ended safely today.
Jay is sitting right next to me as I write this blog.
I'm becoming more uneasy whenever he looks at the PC

Thank you very much
To everyone who came to Nico life today
To everyone who watched it in front of the PC
To everyone who we are scheduled to see in time shifting in the future
Thank you.

Hyunmin is always amusing the people around him whenever he can, including the staff. He even played with the sea weed to entertain us. He's a great fellow that always takes care.
The sense of laughter is?
Please try your best by all means to join the dance project!
There are only five flags all over the world and it’s used for the PV

Kuidaore*
Thank you for writing to BBS, though it's a matter of SOsaka Institution
The member's favourite meals are Udon suki, Akashiyaki (dumpling), Okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake) and Kobe beef.
We were worried because there's only a town to ruin oneself by extravagance in food.
Injun seems to be really looking forward to SSapporo ramen. Yesterday he said "Let's absolutely eat ramen! Thank you, even if there's only 5 minutes to eat!"

(T/N: Kuidaore* roughly means to ruin oneself by extravagance in food)

Street visions
The image for the vision is now being editeds.
We’ll shortly notify the place and time. It'll flow by the street vision somewhere next month. Please come and check it out by all means.
M-Chan from Koborebanashi is here in charge of Daikoku Danji's video.
Yesterday while shooting the video her comments were "Hyunmin, move down once again"
M-chan instructed Injun to react to "Move down!" and in response; the members can rapidly do it in success.
"What do you mean by move down?" said Injun
Good luck and work hard on improving your Japanese

Ice cream
We had an early shooting early in the morning today
Even if the weather is bad, Daikoku Danji members are energetic
Injun has been eating ice cream since the morning, he had double scoop of chocolate and strawberry.
While writing this blog, Injun and Jay are now staring intently at me
The other three members are breaking out in a cappella still form this morning
Mika, Karam and Hyunmin’s “Amazing Grace” is soothing.

A fine weather man after all
Although it was raining in Tokyo, the rain gradually went away as the shooting progressed.
It was completely fine shooting outdoors!
It's truly a fine weather.
We're all worried that the event will be released during the rainy season. If it's the fine man's condition, will it be safe?

Japanese confrontation
After the shooting was finished safely, it was lunch time.S
The member’s lunch today was curry.
Although the workers were French, their Japanese was fluent.
Daikoku Danji’s members felt their mind burn with competitiveness.

Television recording
The photo shoot for the magazine and television recording ended safely today.
It is greeting of great news from the staff to say nothing more about the program. We'll inform you of the name of the program and the broadcasting date later on
After the magazine photo shoot, Injun is now onto his second ice cream of the day with Jay. Jay is also eating ice cream which by the way was chocolate chip.

It's a fine weather today
The coverage was early in the morning today and because it was such a fine morning today at the location, we wish to express our gratitude to the fine weather!
Jay's lovely red sneaker was praised which he returned saying "Jeppodesho?” a mysterious remark... But if you listened carefully, he said "You like Jay?" which seems to have been abbreviated
Is this proof that the Japanese proficiency is high?

Tokyo Tower
The coverage at Tokyo Tower has ended safely today.
The tension for the members is going up in an inverse proportion.
The tension for the leader is running low as he seems to have acrophobia (fear of height) which he has conquered as a leader, a true hardworking professional.
Hyunmin, have you approached your dreams by one step yet?
