Koki comments on Jin's marriage

Koki says what’s been on everyone’s mind

Now that everyone has gotten over the shock of Jin and Meisa’s shotgun wedding, it seems that the press is not so hell bent on asking his ex-co-workers about what they think of his marriage.

On the matter, we all know that Nakamaru said, “Is he for realz?” on a TV show. Apparently Ueda shared the same sentiment. Junno wished the couple happiness. Kame refused to answer. But the most interesting reaction is probably from Koki, who allegedly said, “Is he stupid?” in regards to Jin’s shotgun marriage.

Rumour also has it that J&A told all its talents not to comment on Jin’s marriage. Kame knew that if he did make any comment, it’d be all over the news the next day because the two is known to not have the most amicable of feelings towards one another. So he acted like the good little idol he is and just ignored all the questions reporters shot at him about Jin.

However, Koki, who is said to dislike Jin even more so than Kame does, was not afraid to show his true feelings towards the matter. The two were friends at a point in time, and they share the same tastes in many things, including music and women. A couple years ago, Koki and Jin had a fight about some girls and ever since then, Koki couldn’t stand the guy. No wonder he wasn’t afraid to say what everyone’s thinking.

touchie but then again I'm not surprised that Tanaka gave , given the way Akanishi treated the guys & leaving them in a lurch not once but twice so :x

^ LMAO. that's so funny (...if it's true). oh Koki. :P

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY TO MY PRECIOUS KAME. :heart
i can't believe he's 26 years old now. i remember the day he turned 20, omfg. ;___;

Still shocked that he's married thought JE has this policy on marriage

What is their policy?

the policy Johnny's & Associates enforce that their Idols are not supposed to get married & they should perserve this image/perception of their fans having a chance to get together with them , something like that

^ that's kinda sick... lol
Anyways.. loving the new album!

I don't think it's a sick thing , it's part & parcel of being an Idol

not just for a Johnny but also if you're in AKB48 . You're by right not supposed to date or fall for someone in order to perserve this image you cultivate this assumption that your fans might 1 day have a chance to date/fall for you

It sounds really hypocritical but nobody said the music business is going to be a straightforward industry to be in & in order to gain something , you have to sacrifice something such as your privacy

I sound so old in saying something like this , ah being in the Johnny's fandom for so long , you pick up a few things here & there :laugh

Must be similar to the girls' idols (including AKB48) on their no-dating policies...

Oricon's blog talked about Panasonic press conference

When Kame was demonstrating the men's head spa device the event host said, "hold that nice face so the cameras can get it"... Kame's reaction was "What!? Seriously?".

Nice answer Kame xD

JE idols (& idols in general) can get married. it's not like they can't at all...however, most companies are strict and idols usually can't date openly. they have to keep it a secret or in most severe cases, leave the company if they want to pursue marriage or have relationships. idols are expected to have a "clean" image. i used to think it was ridiculous until i heard crazy stories with fans & stuff. it's probably for the better, i think. i mean, some fans just cannot handle their idol getting married...or even dating women. *gasp*

i heard/read that once a JE idol reaches 30, JE is more relaxed with the whole dating/marriage thing. they are usually past their prime, anyway. some of the older Johnny's are married, like V6's Inohara, TOKIO's Yamaguchi, etc.

...or you can do what Jin or Kimura Takuya did and knock up some chick and get married immediately! :laugh

The problem is that Jin doesn't want to be an idol. But he is. If you're a normal musician or artist, nobody really cares if you date or marry. But if you make a career based on your looks and availability - then you have a problem if you do marry.

I kind of understand where Jin is coming from. He started out in Johnnys young - as they all do. At that age you probably don't even understand what kind of deal you're getting into. You just see the bright side of things. But then you get older. And in Jins case getting older meant, wanting to get to know the world, have different experiences and so on. Which I can also completely understand. But the problem about Jin is he wants both. He wants the talent agency and the career but he also wants to be himself and live his life. I think it's really a mature decision to marry and take responsibility. Looking at the whole picture - he is selfish. He is in a big dilemma. Thing is if he left Johnnys, he wouldn't be able to get the opportunities like acting and doing music. If you leave Johnnys at the age of 27 - one of their debuted artists, you would be done for in the Entertainment World. So he stays and does what he wants anyway. Thing about JE is, there are a few artists that are so popular they will be forgiven almost anything. This is the case with Jin. He is a cash cow and extremely popular with female fans. So JE is lenient with him and lets things pass that others couldn't have done. I'm so curious how his career will fare now and what Johnny will do. Because it is different from Kimutaku. I'm just so relieved that all this didn't happen while he was still in KAT-TUN.

KAT-TUN’s latest album “CHAIN” tops Oricon weekly album chart

It was revealed that popular group KAT-TUN’s 6th original album, “CHAIN” (released on February 22nd), topped the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking for March 5th with its first week sales of 110,000 copies!

This feat will mark their sixth consecutive album to top the Oricon Album Charts since their first album, “Best of KAT-TUN” (released in March 2006). This record has surpassed rock band The Checker’s record of topping five consecutive albums and with this, KAT-TUN broke the record for the first time in 24 years.

“CHAIN” is their newest album after one year and eight months, since their June 2010 release of “NO MORE PAIN” and includes 17 songs in this jam-packed CD.

Congratulations for this incredible feat, KAT-TUN!

I'm happy they are Number 1, but these sales are not that good. :( CHAIN deserves much more.

Gratz for CHAIN/

CHAIN does have some very good songs but then again I don't really like their ballads. KAT-TUN and ballads dont grow on me:(

I don't think that there are too many ballads on CHAIN. While I prefer non-ballad style songs, I like the KAT-TUN ballads like Bokura no Machi de (it's so sad and bittersweet) and White X-Mas. Lately Yuuki no Hana (WHITE Single B-Side Ballad) became one of my favourite KAT-TUN songs. Their ballads are sad songs and I have to be in the mood for them, but I enjoy them.

omg Bokura no Machi de :heart , I can't believe I didn't like this song at 1st when I became a KAT-TUN fan xD

But I do agree , you have to be in the right mood in order to appericate their ballads especially since they're known for their harder stuff

They do have some very good non single ballads such as Utai Tsuzukeru Toki , AFFECTION ~Mou Modorenai~ , Yuuki no Hana & so many others <3 :love

KAT-TUN ballads are usually hit or miss for me, but when done right, their ballads are amaaaazing. i also LOOOVE "Yuuki no Hana"! "SWEET CHAIN" from the RUN FOR YOU single is pretty good as well and i like the Xmas ballad mix of "Le ciel ~Kimi no Shiawase Inoru Kotoba~" (& the original mix is spectacular. forever angry @ the fact it never got a proper release on BEST of KAT-TUN or something. :P)

eeeek @ 110k for CHAIN. i know JE albums don't sell well, but it's depressing. LOL.

The new Suzuki Solio CM with ONE DAY as BGM :D



Nice , it has a very fresh mood & also it helps that ONE DAY is 1 of my fave tracks in CHAIN ^____^
