Rumor about Music Stations rejected Tohoshinki is comfirm.
S-San(one of the toho staff) wrote in his blog about Music Station's refusal to invite DBSK into their program.
Many fans have been speculating for quite some time the reason why DBSK never appeared on the show, especially with the recent #1 on weekly Oricon (their third one, which broke a record as foreign artist with three #1s). DBSK has been consistently in the top 10 weekly in Japanese Oricon charts with their singles and last album. Music Station usually invites singers in top 10 in Oricon atleast once to perform. However, this has not been the case with DBSK, as S-San points out even with the insistence of the company to let them on fairly.
Their lack of promotions in such a major show as Music Station (it is one of the most watched shows in the country on a prime time slot) has become jarringly apparent and discussion spring up everytime they release a single as to why they are still not invited. Majority say that its because of Johnny's Entertainment stronghold on Music Station, pointing out that no bands/artists that posed a threat to that agency have ever been invited.
S-San never expicitly states the show's name, however he mentions that Tohoshinki was on the show's #1 list this week, yet still weren't given the chance to perform.
They're being in more shows than ever before this time, they're for the first time in 「THE M」 and 「CDTV」. They have reached #1 in the MS music list, and they are yet to be invited.

Can you believe that? Just because they posed a threat to that agency, they are rejected to the show. The 'idol group' from the Johnny's Ent. isnt that good either. Maybe i'm being baised here but they are worst den me.
They are not promoting themselves as KPOP in Japan but JPOP. They came to Japan, started from scratch and learn about J Music. They are not like other groups that come to Japan to promote their own culture music. They fluent their Japanese, practice and IMPROVED their vocal, just to be recognized by the Japanese. They have a choice to go back Korea and be the TOP POPULAR singer there. but continued to work harder.
They almost give up in Japan, but they so hard and now they get where they suppose to be at. HEYHEYHEY's MC loves them alot, joking around with them. Even one of the popular comedian LOVES Junsu and even imitates him alot of times. SEE! they effort pays off. Even if they did not attend the MS show, TOHOSHINKI will still be LOVED by others. and they will continue to TOP the oricon chart. soon enough, they will be on par with those 'idol groups' in Japan.
