jami3yours translated two more clips from Ju's Twitter Space SunnyMoon recap:

Interpreting the 'SunnyMoon' concept:

🌞: When I knew it was "SunnyMoon" and and knew it was a homophone of the word “honeymoon”, then I sat down to try and interpret the concept like… Yeah, a honeymoon is something that… something that… It’s an activity two people do together in order to, like… adjust from… one status to another and also to give each other some personal time. It’s like a trip to celebrate… the love someone has for each other, something like that. 🌞: So when we got this theme, I felt like, yeah - this seems like a theme that really suits JuniorMark. Like… then we have to take all the fans on a trip to celebrate the love we’ve had for each other all along since day one, because I feel like we’ve never done anything like this before - not even once. Something like that. So I felt like it was a really good idea.

The concert workflow with Mark:

🌞: I used the workflow from last year, which was… letting Nong Mark choose the song list. It could be hundreds of songs. List the songs and send it to me… and then I will mix it with my list. Then I will choose- choose each one to put into the duet show according to the graph. And then take it into the meeting. If it gets approved, then it’s approved. If it doesn’t get approved, we can argue about it. It’s okay. 🌞: And then I let Nong Mark go… do his solo show and his own guests show to the fullest. And for other parts, I’ll take care of them for you. And whichever one you don’t like, you can walk over and tell me. Anything you don’t like, just come and tell me. And we’ll keep pitching ideas throughout. 🌞: So Nong Mark made a list of songs which… there were a lot of songs. And not all of them have been used in this concert. The songs we picked from Nong Mark’s list were “เวลาเธอยิ้ม (You Had Me At Hello)", “แฟนผมน่ารัก CUTE (Bow Maylada)”, “ขี้หึง Khee Hueng (Silly Fools)”… There were quite a lot 😂 “ขี้หึง”… “เวลา Wela (Pop Pongkool)”… Um… “เวลา” and what other song was there again…? That’s it!! Oh!! Yeah something like that. 🌞: “Heartbeat” was… It was of the songs which- many songs actually overlapped between my list and Mark’s list. Like “เวลาเธอยิ้ม (You Had Me At Hello)” was on both Ju’s and Mark’s lists, so I felt like "ah!" It’s fair we pick this song… Like… “เวลา Wela” was also on both of our lists. Like… um… what other song was there again? “Heartbeat” was also there- Heartbeat came in during the meeting. But we’re not going to skip that process.

Since he didn't mentioned it here: in the translations I posted yesterday, he also said:

🌞: As for Nong Mark, he chose “Faen Phom Na Rak” (แฟนผมน่ารัก). It shows the essence of JuniorMark without having to do much.

For context: "Faen Phom Na Rak" translates to "My boyfriend is cute". Felt like I should add that.

Behind the scenes of 'SunnyMoon' | GMMTV LIVE HOUSE

[allaboutjumark]

Juju hosted a Twitter space yesterday to recap the SunnyMoon concert!

He was live for nearly a full two hours and it was voice-only, so I've just gathered all the translation snippets I could find here for anyone who's curious about what he shared:

🌞: “Are you still tired?” Honestly speaking: not really that tired. To be honest, three days of concerts… For me, I thought I’d be in worse shape than this, but I woke up and I’m still okay. I still have some energy left… 🌞: My motto is when it’s time to rehearse, just rehearse at 200-300%. Just go all out, use all the energy you have. Go at 100-200% first, just give it everything until I can’t even stand anymore. Throughout rehearsals, I’ve been using this technique since last year.

How the 'SunnyMoon' theme was born:

🌞: I couldn’t think of a theme. I didn’t know what I wanted to tell, but deep down, I felt like I didn’t want to do a new theme. I didn’t want to go away from JuniorMark… (coughs, then clicks sound effect) Just choked on my saliva a little everyone! 🌞: I’d rather make a Part 2 than make a new movie. I think doing a Part 2 is better than starting a new franchise. Honestly Ju and Mark spent a really long time thinking about the theme. We really couldn’t think of one! But in the end we got help from the genius creative team. 🌞: Actually, I was sold on all of the themes they suggested, so I passed it on to P’Tha. But deep down in my heart, I liked SunnyMoon - I just didn’t know how to tell the story. But P’Tha encouraged us to choose it because it has so much of JuMark in it and he believed we could make the story work.

🌞: I think this year, the process of coming up with all of this was much slower than last year… 🌞: A lot of things can’t use the same formula from the first year anymore. I remember for the opening part, no matter how much I thought about it, I could never figure out how to tell it. There was even a draft where we were going to open with “Jealous.”

How the opening wedding came about:

🌞: I felt really pressured because the deadline kept getting closer and closer, but the songs on the list weren’t moving at all. Until… just like I told you at the concert, I went on a trip abroad. There was this church- This church was so beautiful. I really loved the atmosphere and I felt, before the honeymoon… Let’s say not SunnyMoon, but honeymoon. Before we get to the honeymoon, we should have the wedding first. Why don’t we open with the thing that has to come before it, which is the wedding? But can we use an upbeat song for a wedding? Still I didn’t want to tie it down too much.

About the first three songs:

🌞: I wear headphones a lot just for the atmosphere, listen to music intentionally sometimes and unintentionally other times. And then I stumbled upon… (the song title was so long he couldn’t even say it, but he means the opening song) 🌞: I think I heard P’Toh play it with 'No One Else' and it just worked… It really worked for me. I don’t know if it worked for the audience or not, but when I listened to it, it immediately made me think of something. I could immediately see this image in my head (he spent a moment to describe that moment at Fashion Week) 🌞: In my head, I feel like… the concert has to open with an upbeat song right? But in my heart, I believed we could actually open the concert with this song already.

🌞: Once we got the first song, everything kind of unlocked. We felt like we knew how this movie was starting and where it was going, and it just unlocked everything. So I felt like the next song should lift up following its graph. The first song had to be grand, emotional, sweet - something that feels big when you listen to it. But the assignment I gave the team was I wanted the three songs to almost feel like one show without jumping away from each other. I think it has to flow smoothly. The first three songs have to feel like one show with the same theme. 🌞: Actually, the theme of these three songs was how they had to talk about the same thing but from different perspectives, so I felt 'Trust Me' was a really good fit with its lyrics melody and beat.

Gushing about the production team:

🌞: (talking about the lift, water curtain and production things) It might not even be something they (the crew) like but they know we like it, so they tried to use their experience to help make it real. Thank you so much to the team krub.

🌞: I feel really lucky to have this Avengers team for making the concert. When I saw the stage, I was like: "I freaking dreamed about this and it actually came true!" (pause) It turned out so good. I can die happy now. I feel like I got everything I dreamed of.

About choosing the songs:

🌞: We used the same workflow as last year. I let Nong Mark choose as many hundreds of songs as he wanted and then we’d discuss and argue about them afterward during the meeting. There were still a lot of songs from Nong Mark’s list we didn’t use, but there were songs like “เวลาเธอยิ้ม” “แฟนผมน่ารัก” “ขี้หึง” “เวลา” from Nong Mark.

About opening the concert with six songs back-to-back:

🌞: I wanted the trip to start off strong and then end on a fun note so I put “Oxygen” at No.4 and “มีแต่เธอ” at the end. I felt like it had to be this way. Both the lyrics and the sound- It’s a road trip song! Like, imagine if we listened to this song ('Oxygen') on a trip in the morning, from Chiang Mai to Bangkok - it would put everyone in a good mood.

🌞: We felt like we didn’t want to do a show that… We decided we were going to do six songs straight without talking. I don’t know if that’s new to other people but it’s definitely new for JuMark. I don’t know why I thought this way when talking is literally one of my strengths, but I felt like we should talk after following this list. The talking belongs there… I felt like the first six songs didn’t have to all be duet songs - they had to show the different shades of JuMark. 🌞: As for the song “Khee Hueng” (ขี้หึง) - honestly it’s a song a lot of people requested and I personally already liked this song too… As for Nong Mark, he chose “Fan Phom Na Rak” (แฟนผมน่ารัก). It shows the essence of JuniorMark without having to do much.

🌞: The good thing about the “Fan Phom Na Rak” performance is we planned it so it wouldn’t have too many fixed elements, which left room for something new every day. And I think we foresaw it right because the song is good enough to leave room for us to do something new everyday. (thanks the team)

About 'You Had Me At Hello':

🌞: Like I said before: when a song is the right one, I think we don’t need to tell the story through crazy explosive dancing. I think if the song is right for the performers, it doesn’t need much to work and I think “เวลาเธอยิ้ม” works by itself.

About the solo stages:

🌞: So I left some space for my solo performance… which I didn’t know what it was going to be yet. As for Nong Mark: while I was working on the ideas for the songs together, Nong Mark went and groomed himself until his performance came together. It turned out really, really well. He’s someone who has a very clear vision too. 🌞: A lot of people didn’t notice Nong Mark sang two songs for his solo, but I negotiated I would only sing this one song so I ended up getting a really long version of the song which was as long as Nong Mark’s two songs

About the guest performances:

🌞: Now we’re getting to the guest part. This is going to be a bit of a long part. I feel like I chose the right guests and really thought about shows that would suit each of them because I feel like I used… Like- I was able to fill the gaps- 🌞: When we think about a show with a guest, it’s not just about singing a song with them and making it one show or just one color in the concert and then it’s done. We need to know the purpose of bringing them in to do something more than that - to add something, to make it memorable. And it’ll be something they… 🌞: I feel we have to make them feel like they didn’t waste their time coming to be our guest, because we’re going to give them the very best we can. And the assignment we gave each guest was really difficult. 🌞: I didn’t feel like I had to be the main character. I was there to support their show. They would probably do it better than me and I would be a good support for them and they also had to be a really strong lead too.

🌞: I knew if I invited (P’Leo) he would… he would do it. No matter how the result turned out, he definitely wouldn’t disappoint me. And he really did it. He danced- He memorized the choreography for two songs. It was something that was really exhausting for him. 🌞: I wanted to see him do it and he really did it. He completely won me over. He was the first guest and I really didn’t choose the wrong person. I’m so glad I thought through the show so carefully for him - it’s really touching, you know? I feel like I gave him my very best! But it was going to be really tiring, yet if he didn’t give up, we and who knows how many people would be so proud of him. 🌞: I really felt P’Leo could do it. Damn I’m so proud of him. He practiced so hard and it came out as applause and screams to prove he did it. He did so much more than that too. I’m so happy he came to be my guest. (plays applause sound)

🌞: The “Rockstar” song and Nong Film came together - they’re a package! If I didn’t have this song, there was no other option. 🌞: No matter how difficult it was, I knew someone like Nong Film wouldn’t disappoint me. For sure! From the very first second of rehearsals, I already knew this show was going to turn out great. I can trust Film completely because Film is the kind of person who will keep doing it until she gets it. And I'm the same kind of person - I’ll keep doing it until I get it too.

🌞: I'm really happy people have been talking a lot about the guests’ performances - all of the guests… Because I put so much effort into them. I was only there to stand on the stage and support the guests. I don’t know if any of the guests are listening, but you can call on me whenever you need me… You can literally grab me by the hair and use me because I deserves it 😂

🌞: I know Tay is the type who never lets things go and overthinks too. He’ll keep doing it until… Actually all of my guests are like this. They’ll keep doing it until they’re confident. Tay had many Qs in his schedule so I didn’t really get to see him much, but I knew if I gave him this assignment, he could definitely do it - a million percent! And he’ll do it really well too. 🌞: Then on the actual day, after I finished singing, I heard Tay’s voice and I was like "holy shit - goosebumps!!" He sang so beautifully. It was such a strong opening. Goosebumps! I was like damn, that’s it!! Damn he did it! I’m really proud of Tay. Thank you for coming to be a guest at my concert and thank you so much for joining me in this headache too. I can’t promise next time I won’t give you a headache because I might actually make it even worse 😂 Because all of my guests deserve all the attention and praise over these past three days, I want all the guests to give yourselves a really big round of applause! (plays applause sound)

About 'Wela':

🌞: This song - “Wela” (เวลา) - surprisingly captures JuMark’s concept so well… Even though I'd been listening to it all along, it wasn’t until then that I really heard it word for word. I have to give credit to Fahsai who was basically everything… everything for this concert! 🌞: It’s a song Ju and Mark really liked so we decided to put it in. And we interpreted it as a stage of the sun and the moon alternating back and forth.

About 'Time':

🌞: It’s like two people who keep trying to communicate with each other but can never reach one another. The water curtain is like something that separates the two and keeps them from meeting. It’s like we keep trying to communicate but the other person can’t hear us. It’s only when we’re finally on the same level that we can hear each other’s heartbeat.

🌞: The only thing that’s been a problem for me is the glitter never lands anywhere except my head. The hairstylist complained like why is there glitter here? 🌞: “Heavenly” was the first song in the very first draft from the very beginning. It was there from the start even before we got the songs… Oho… it might even have been the very first song for this concert. It was the first song we thought of and it stayed all the way until we actually got to perform it.

About the 'Tasty' solo stage:

🌞: Since we’re already here, let’s put all the things we’ve never done into Part 6. The first song is “Tasty”… I had a lot of trouble with the solo performance in this concert - maybe I just ran out of ideas… I only realized there was a song I wanted to do as a solo after everything had already been finalized.

🌞: Just hearing ("flirty style") makes me break out in a cold sweat… I get tense whenever I have to dance with anyone - like I get so tense… 😂 I can dance by myself but when there are other people, I don’t know where to put my arms and legs. It took me a really long time.

🌞: I'm… not really that experienced with doing something like this, but I was briefed to think "this show isn’t me". It’s another character - it could be anyone. Once I thought that way, I was like "Oh! I can be anyone. It’s not me doing it." Once I thought about it that way, it became easier to think about and easier to rehearse. 🌞: This is the only performance I haven’t dared to watch. I don’t know if it’s good. I’ve seen people tagging me, so I’ll wait until I’m ready and then go watch it. All I could think about was, “Can I toss the coin and catch it?” 😂 It really made me think wow~ Becoming someone else actually lets me do things I never thought I could do, huh?

About 'Move Ya Body':

🌞: When we're confronted with hard moves, we just do our best. We won’t change the moves, but we'll practice everyday until the last minute and if we really think we can’t do it, then we’ll do something about it. This is what JuMark always tell each other when it comes to shows we're not good at. 🌞: I don't like to give up. If until the last minute we still can’t do it, then we change it, but as long as we have time, we'll practice until the end and make it possible. [...] 🌞: 'Move Ya Body' was a song I chose and it was a challenge for Mark, but after this I think it'll open up many new opportunities. He told me he's not talented in dancing this kind of song, but I think he did so well. The fact he pulled this off means it’ll give him many new opportunities in the future.

About the two songs they performed with Jummo:

🌞: Mark told me he wasn’t great with it but I think he did really well. It’s a side of us we’ve never shown everyone before. 🌞: And when Mark agreed to do this… I think it’s another color we can adapt and use in the future. I see it as having more benefits than drawbacks and… I think everything we did in this concert was all beneficial for both Ju and Mark.

🌞: Let me praise my child… (I can’t catch all of it😭) Thank you Auam (Jummo) for practicing so hard and coming to perform at the concert for Dad and Da na krub. Thank you so much ja~

🌞: “Smile Easily” (ยิ้มง่าย) Mark thanked everyone for making him someone who smiles more easily. Because before, Nong wasn’t really someone who smiled easily but after meeting everyone, it made him smile more easily than before. As for me, I’ve always been someone who smiles easily, so I did "Don't Want You To Get Sick".

About 'Honeymoon':

🌞: I felt I liked two songs - “Kiss” and “Honeymoon” - and Kiss had already been somewhere in the set before, but I chose “Honeymoon” because it wraps up the concert the best. It talks about the love we have for each other coming together to celebrate it. It works so beautifully so it became No. 29. 🌞: I like “Kiss”, but “Honeymoon” is like the closing words “with love and missing you” at the end of a letter. I don’t know what other people think but I love it the most in this place. We couldn’t find a song that felt more right than this. And I believe this song is the most right! The song works all by itself so as per usual, we don’t need to do much with it.

About the Day 3 Encore:

🌞: Ju’s being selfish like… I don’t know if anyone has ever done an encore before… but the last thing I wanted to say wasn’t just “มีแต่เธอ” but “Oxygen.” I want everyone to understand that, if Ju or Mark were to be without all of you, Ju and Mark probably wouldn’t be able to keep going because everyone is JuMark’s oxygen and we couldn’t do this without any one of the teams either. The fans who support us, the staff who are always willing to work themselves to exhaustion- The staff work even harder than we do… So I made a promise to myself: If anyone is going to come and work on a JuMark concert, then every day has to be a day where they’re happy. They have to be happy to do this, not just do it because it’s their job.

🌞: And the next day, Fahsai sent 55 love letters from the team to Junior and Mark… I was smiling the whole time as I read them.

🌞: It’s one of those memories which, whenever I look back on them, there’ll only be smiles. I was really happy. This concert gave me so much fire to work. Like, really I took my heart out, beat it into tiny pieces and put it into every single element. 🌞: I want to have even more fun in an even bigger place with everyone and keep doing this together for a long time.

Not Mark leaving a like on this video lmao

JuMark making it their mission to rewrite their past so their love story becomes more epic is so damn funny to me, but I’m absolutely here for it. Romanticize your life and all that - whatever it takes to reach peak happiness.
