TVXQ Banned in Japan?

According to S-San's Blog (a Japanese staff member for TVXQ/ Tohoshinki/DBSK) the rumor that TVXQ has been blocked from Music Station was confirmed. On his blog he wondered why TVXQ was on Music Station's #1 list this week, yet weren't invited to perform. Music Station is a highly popular music show in Japan, similar to MTV's TRL here in the states.Rumors and conspiracy theories were created when TVXQ received many #1's on both the Oricon Daily and Weekly charts, yet weren't invited to the Music Station show. Almost every other artist who were in the top 10 let alone the artists who've reached #1 were invited to perform. Many people believe the reason for this is because Johnny's Entertainment has a secret pact with Music Station. Some people think that TVXQ poses a threat to Johnny's therefore the non-invites.
