Fan Notes on Goo Hye Sun's Over the Rainbow Concert

English Translation by bellaangel012@soompi.com

Goo Hye Sun was wearing a white dress and looked like a goddess with her hair swept to the side. She was playing the piano and the ambience/fragrance/scent and light that were projected and this fan was very much impressed/amazed. This was also very motivating for the fan to practice and try hard in all her endeavors

(loose translation on my part as the fan is saying that much effort and dedication were part of the culmination of GHS' efforts for the concert [as well as all her works that have been on display so far] (as what GHS has been basically saying in all her interviews so far and a point that has been emphasized in her interviews be it print or media)


1. To this fan, GHS was basically radiating and looked like a goodess. She really stood out to her even amongst, Isao and Gummy. The fan thought GHS appeared really tall (probably because she has a short torso - much much jealousy on my part!) and was happy and cheerful throughout the concert.

2. GHS did change into the 2NE1 style as Nina posted in the picture above.

3. The concert overall seemed like a success. Gummy performed the "When I turn in the alley song" and the pianist Choi In Hyung was also there who also performed as well the 2 songs: The Sound of Rain and Love's Dream and praised GHS and said that she enjoyed working with her.

4. This was also mentioned in several of Sue's translations but this fan also mentioned that Gummy said how she observed/sensed/gathered the sadness in GHS' works and everyone must support and love GHS.

Goo Hye Sun Talks About Her Musical Album "Breathe"

Boys Over Flower's Jandi Goo Hye Sun has revealed the reason behind the making of her new musical album, "Breath". On the midnight of 4th of September, Goo Hye Sun and fellow guest Isao Sasaki were also featured on KBS Cool FM 'Yoo Hee Yeol's Radio Heaven'. In the show, the duo played 'Chopsticks' and Goo Hye Sun's 'Unusual Separations' together on the piano.

Goo Hye Sun stated during the show, "Many people misunderstand my aspirations; since I was a child, I have always wanted to be a movie director." She continued, "I have been planning a full-length musical film for a long time, and in the midst of that, I created some music beforehand. Usually the OST comes after the release of the film, but I wanted to see what it would be like to release the music first; this is why I released these songs - to reach and familiarize the public."

Sasaki revealed that he had received an offer from Goo to take part in her album. Goo responded, "As a child, I loved Sasaki's Sky Walker. Being such a big fan, it was a huge honor for me to request Sasaki to perform the music that I composed. I have never studied music professionally; I only learned a bit of piano when I was little. I had little courage to release my songs, but Sasaki's stories gave me strength. Sasaki told me he studied music by himself, which was encouraging," added Goo Hye Sun. "I made melodies every time I could think of one. I have saved about 100 songs, but only selected the best for this album."

Sasaki went on, "I usually don't watch TV so I didn't know who Goo Hye Sun was. But her first impression was so cute. Only later when I searched the internet did I realize that she was an amazing person." Goo Hye Sun explained that the title of her album, 'Breathe', was chosen because it is "something that everyone does best in their lives, but is unaware of." She also stated, "I believe that the music we listen to is a BGM flowing like our lives." She also revealed that the planned musical film will likely be shot this winter.

Meanwhile, Goo Hye Sun also just completed a press conference this past hour for her upcoming projects.

I also read in NETWORK NEWS 기사입력: 2009/08/04 [18:47] 최종편집: ⓒ ntimes
(I cut the section of the report below from ntimes which was filed under 구혜선 in Daum Cafe.)

QUOTE

구 혜선과 이사오 사사키의 만남은 구혜선의 적극적인 러브콜로 이뤄졌다. 영화에 대한 구상을 하는 과정에서 구혜선은 전문가에게 음악을 맡길 수도 있지만, 스스로의 생각을 보다 확실히 표현해내고 싶은 욕심에 직접 음악을 만들기로 결정, 이에 완벽성을 더하고자 평소 동경해오던 이사오 사사키에게 자작곡 데모를 선보였던 것.
데모를 들은 이사오 사사키는 그 열정과 재능을 높이 평가하고 기꺼이 구혜선의 은사가 되어주기로 했다.

After composing her music, GHS reached out directly to the master NEW AGE artist Isao Sasaki. The article says that she sent him a "love call" to listen to her demo tape. (I guess in Korea, "love call" means that a person wants to work with another person?)

After The Master heard Goo's music, he highly praised her passion and talent and agreed to be her mentor/teacher for her musical production. (Again, I really respect Goo's passion and proactive initiative to search out what she needs. She got the best to critique her work--that takes guts and confidence in one's work---and influenced the best to mentor her. No wonder Isao Sasaki was impressed not only by her talent but also her passion.)

QUOTE

감성을 자극하는 뉴에이지 최고의 명곡 ‘Sky Walker’로 유명한 이사오 사사키는 우리나라에서 일본 음악 붐을 일으킨 장본인이기도 하다.

This sentence was again taken from the same article in ntimes and it says that Isao Sasaki created musical sensation in Korea with his New Age musical masterpiece, "Sky Walker".
(I hope Goo and The Master bring in tons of audience for her concert!)
