2 TVXQ members to release project single in Japan

Hero Jaejoong and Micky Yoochun of Korean boy band TVXQ will release a project single album in Japan, according to their agency on Friday.

The single, titled "Color, Melody and Harmony", by the two members will be available online a week prior to the record's release on September 30, SM Entertainment explained in a press release.

The single album will carry five songs; title song "Harmony", "Shelter", instrumental versions of the two songs and a live version of "Harmony" performed at Tokyo Dome in July.

"Harmony", a ballad written and arranged by Hero and Micky, was selected as one of the image songs for the 35th anniversary of popular character Hello Kitty.

The two K-pop idols also contributed to a song called "Been So Long" on the 10th anniversary album of Japanese hip-hop duo M-Flo which will be available online as well.

TVXQ, a five-member boy band, has been one of South Korea's most successful idol groups since their debut in 2003.
