Even in the low quality versions which have hit youtube, TVXQ’s new song Toki Wo Tomete is simply beautiful.
Roughly translated, the song means “Stop the Time” and is featured in the Menards advertisement we told you about earlier this year.
The ballad plays in the ending credits of “Tohoshinki The Live 2009” movie. It is so popular that according to translated reports, fans purposely sit through the ending credits just so they can hear the song.
It really is the type of quality ballad which could be featured in any high rated drama. The harmony and balance of their voices is the very reason why so many fans and new listeners are impressed by Tohoshinki.
The melody and harmony is beautiful, but some of the lyrics may take on a different meaning considering the trouble they’re having to deal with because of the stubbornness of their Korean management company SM.
According to translations, some of the lyrics say, “Stop time, I want to be by your side forever”.

Here is the lyrics translation:
ENGLISH
As if they were rushing, the summer’s constellations
hide themselves in the valleys between the buildings
During every day that passed us by
There are times when I feel like crying at the smallest things
Even though the restaurant that you wanted to
go to has disappeared
No matter what the day is,
I believe that our love has not ended
Stop the time
I want to be by your side forever
I want to hold you more closely to me
One memory after another of you surfaces up
I believed only in eternity
Stop the time
I want to be by your side forever
Looking at the sky, with all my wishes
While connecting each and every glittering star,
I searched for your shape
Stop the time
I want to be by your side forever
I want to hold you more closely to me
One memory after another of you surfaces up
I believed only in eternity
ROMANJI
isogu youni natsu no seizatachi ga
biru no tanima ni katamuite kakureteku
toorisugiru bokura no mainichi
chippokena koto de nakisouna toki mo aru
itsuka kimi ga ikitagatteita
ano mise wa mou nakunatteshimatta kedo
donna hi mo bokutachi wa
futari no koi wa owaranai to shinjiteta
toki wo tomete
zutto kimi no soba ni itai
motto kimi wo dakishimetai
hitotsu hitotsu kimi no koto wo oboenagara
eien dake shinjiteta
toki wo tomete
zutto kimi no soba ni itai
miageta sora negai komete
hitotsu hitotsu kagayaku hoshi tsunagenagara
kimi no katachi sagamini coopereta
toki wo tomete
zutto kimi no soba ni itai
motto kimi wo dakishimetai
hitotsu hitotsu kimi no koto wo oboenagara
eien dake shinjiteta
