Hey guys, I was checking in this D-MOTION performance from Korea and they have changed out Jin's lyrics in the bridge. Am I really slow with this? Have we already pointed this out? Is this the new D-MOTION? Is this the version they sing on their concerts now?

dreamland2.0 7th September 2010 11:27 PM

Yah I noticed when I watched it. I assuming that's what they sang in the tour too :yes
I like how they sound :) Sounds more tame to me XD

Mai82Go 7th September 2010 11:40 PM

Or maybe Korea doesn't like the b-word. :)

I think it makes sense that they changed it. I think Jin also wrote those lyrics, right? So maybe they wanted to make the song more fitting for the 5 of them. They probably had to do that with a lot of songs.

OT, but these Korean fans are much louder than the japanese! *_*

KarenPang 8th September 2010 03:13 AM

I suppose so & the same thing probably can apply to Love yourself too

you know , the part where Akanishi had those English saying/singing lines after they belted out the 2nd chorus :shrug

that might have been scrapped off or they leave it as so & asked someone else to do it

ll moments ll 8th September 2010 03:52 AM

yeah, i do think they changed it because it's Korea (they censor a lot, i think? i always hear about PVs getting banned, lmao)...and the fact that they're 5nin (5 members) now.

Akanishi Jin to make appearance in “Pirates of the Caribbean 4″?

http://static.tokyohive.com/wp-conte...010/09/jin.jpg

Gossip magazine “Shukan Josei“s reported on September 7th that ex-KAT-TUN member, Akanishi Jin, will debut in a Hollywood movie – “Pirates of the Caribbean 4“, to be exact, scheduled for release sometime in 2011.

‘Shukan Josei’ contacted Walt Disney Japan for confirmation on the rumor, and they answered that they have not yet been informed about it at the moment.

If this is true, it would be a great chance for Jin, because according to Shukan Josei, Jin has been saying that his goal is Hollywood!

http://www.tokyohive.com/2010/09/aka...e-caribbean-4/

Tokyohive used such an OLD pic of Akanishi ~_~ but good times good times , he looked great back then anyway during the Real Face era xD

LOL that would be very funny XD

MissElin_ 8th September 2010 08:06 AM

I just saw that Akanishi news on facebook. :thud

:heart

:shakehead

And btw, I think its pretty lame of them to make such a big change in the lyrics as they did. I mean the whole last part in the bridge before the last chorus is probably the line that get stuck in your head the most. Shake it, drink it, pump it. Aaah, epic. Well, this new version is either on the single or the album so I think its just a silly idea to make a point that hes not in anymore or whatever they are trying to do...

Mai82Go 8th September 2010 09:38 AM

I don't get why it's lame. Like you said the new version is not on the album and on the single. They did their TV performances for the song, the single is old and the time when they promoted it is long gone. So what does it matter if they never perform the original anymore? Maybe they just don't feel comfortable with singing these lyrics, seeing as Akanishi wrote them. Or they respect that this part is very much Akanishi and seeing as he is not there anymore they tried singing his part in rehearsals it didn't work out when Kame or whoever sang this part and they decided to change it. Well, it's no problem, at least not for me. I can always watch the PV or old performances if I want the other version.

Japanese Pop Superstar Jin Akanishi Embarks on US Tour
Akanishi to perform in five US cities in November

LOS ANGELES, CA - United Television Broadcasting (UTB) today announced the US tour of Japanese superstar performer Jin Akanishi, who entertained over 6,000 fans at his American debut concert in Los Angeles this past June. On the “Yellow Gold Tour 3010”, Akanishi will perform a variety of songs in English with back-up dancers on a futuristic stage.

Akanishi, a former lead vocalist for the renowned Japanese pop group KAT-TUN, left the group this summer and is now preparing for the US tour along with working on new material. “I’m thrilled to perform again in the U.S., the ultimate stage for entertainers around the world. With new, original material, I’m ready to introduce my fans to a whole new world of Jin Akanishi. We are working hard to produce a great show for audiences to enjoy, including those who came to my last show in Los Angeles. I’m looking forward to seeing my American fans and making new ones very soon,” said Akanishi.

Tickets will go on sale on October 8th through ticketmaster.com and allamerican-tkt.com.
sorry, my screen is huge. :P

oh i totally didn't get the memo about the new single. :P i wonder if it's going to be the song, "Yellow Gold" w/ such touching lyrics as "My skin is yellow and my life is gold" :laugh i'm hoping for a Japanese song, personally. he can communicate so much better in Nihongo than Eigo (English). but we'll see.

btw...once we start getting official releases from Jin (which seems to be happening soon. i want dates & links up.), i'll move everything Akanishi to his own thread, so it won't clog up this thread for 5nin KAT-TUN. since i know Jin is a touchy subject around here.

KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi meets childhood hero

KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya failed to hide his excitement while meeting former pro baseball player, and current sports reporter, Furuta Atsuya at an event for Panasonic.

The event was called Panasonic BEAUTY – a line for men’s electronic products – which Kamenashi Kazuya promotes. Even though Kamenashi was there to promote the products, he couldn’t help but talk about baseball all throughout the event with Furuta. Kamenashi is a big fan of baseball, and has been playing it since he was a child.

“He’s the player that I’ve followed before. I can’t believe I’m meeting him,” said Kamenashi in an interview.

While Kamenashi was still dazed from meeting his sports idol, Furuta commented that he’s as happy to be able to meet the JE star. “My wife is a big fan of him and asked me to take a lot of pictures with him,” said Furuta. He also gave Kamenashi some advice about the star’s work as a TV sports reporter.

Good thing Kamenashi still managed to promote the product despite being distracted by baseball. Kamenashi said that he hopes that more people use the products, whether it’s a man or a woman.

Panasonic BEAUTY is famous for its shaver (sold more than a million units) and blow dryer (sold about 4 million units).

KAT-TUN'S Tatsuya Ueda’s comeback live

KAT-TUN’S Tatsuya Ueda (26) has returned to the stage yesterday for his solo tour in Tokyo, a month after injuring his foot in Taiwan, reports Sankei Sports.

The singer performed 18 songs for his 12,000 fans at the Kokuritsu Yoyogi Kyogijyo Dai-ichi Taikukan without showing any signs that his broken left toe was slowing him down.

None of the stage settings or routines had been changed, and it has been reported that Ueda had been running around the stage with all of his energy.

“(My foot has) only healed 70 per cent. I still feel some pain,” he said.

Ueda had broken his left big toe in three places in the joint area after failing a three-metre jump during a KAT-TUN concert in Taipei on August 27.

Looking back on footage from the concert, the singer says he can laugh about it now.

“When I was jumping down I did think ‘I’ve got it wrong’,” he said.

The KAT-TUN star said it had been his dream to go on a solo tour, and even sent a message of support to Jin Akanishi (26), who had recently left the group to pursue his own solo US tour.

“He’s my friend. I want to cheer him on,” he said.

there's a new KAT-TUN image song for Going! Sports & News called 「CHANGE UR WORLD」. :) however, we don't know if it's going to be a single or part of a single just yet.



you can't hear much, but it's more of a upbeat tune. i hear percussion & synths, so it should be interesting. i hear Junno's lines, lmao. (no autotune! yes!) :P

i am also getting tweets from my Japanese friend that Jin is also set to release a single next year. she says it's going to be "Eternal". interesting choice, i think. because...it's actually a Japanese song of his. LMAO.

Mai82Go 3rd October 2010 10:05 AM

Are KAT-TUN now only the song-providers for that stupid sports show? I mean, one single for it - alright. But two? To be honest I wish that it's only going to be a b-side or something.

Beauty4123 3rd October 2010 06:10 PM

Jin Akanishi aims for simultaneous release in U.S., Japan

On Sunday, Jin Akanishi (26) held a fan club event at Zepp Tokyo, his first public appearance in Japan since leaving KAT-TUN in July. During the event, he talked about his U.S. tour this coming November, as well as his plans for next year. At the moment, he is looking to release his next single simultaneously in the U.S. and Japan.

Akanishi performed a total of 8 songs including "Eternal," which is the leading candidate for the upcoming single. He plans to release that single in Japan in early 2011. Johnny's Jimusho is currently in talks with multiple record labels in the U.S. to negotiate a simultaneous release.

Akanishi is also planning a solo album and a Japan tour, though details have not yet been determined.

During the event, Akanishi did not touch on the subject of his departure from KAT-TUN. At the press conference after the event, he explained that he already made his announcement on his blog, so he felt there was no need to talk about it. However, he acknowledged that his withdrawal from the group was very sudden, so he apologized to the other members for the trouble it caused. At the same time, he said he would like to see both KAT-TUN and himself rise up to a higher level as artists together.

Akanishi stated that he hopes to have Japan as his base for his international activities, and he would like to spread out to Europe and other parts of Asia, in addition to the U.S.

Everything sounds more interesting than Going! I really hope for a strong single release from KAT-TUN, and maybe that rumour about a new KAT-TUN show will come true? Then their exposure would be higher again. Seeing as there are no dramas with any KAT-TUN members planned next season or even rumoured for the Winter Season. It's been a while since they did a non-tie in. The last one being White X-Mas, I think.

lol i personally love Going!, since i love those fun pop songs. but for me, KAT-TUN is like pop/rock, so that's why i'd something more interesting, especially as an a-side. if CHANGE UR WORLD does become the a-side of a new single (since it does have a tie-in) i just hope it'll be much better in full and the preview just doesn't do it any justice. :P

there's a rumor of a new show, though? i'd like for the guys to have a new show. :) i really do hope kame gets a winter drama, though. so far only a few winter drama rumors have came out (and it's only october! :dead) so there's still a chance, lol. i'd love to see him in a new drama, and it's not just because that means KT will release a new single. :P

Yep, I read that a week or so ago in the KAT-TUN communities. Wasn't it posted here? Anyway, I think Kame will definitely get his drama. He got his Winter drama for so many years in a row now, people would think Johnny has given up on him or something if he didn't get it. I'd rather see a Koki or Nakamaru drama, though. It's been too long and Kame has his sports show for exposure.

congrats Kame !

I wonder why this time round there were no pics of him from the press conference hmmm

last year's choice of outfit he wore was :lmfao

ll moments ll 6th October 2010 05:43 AM

KarenPang 6th October 2010 05:48 AM

oh yeah I forgot , sorry I just woke up earlier on when I posted that reply of mine just now haha

something stated but not over the top haha

Minttulatte 6th October 2010 10:04 AM

Oh yeah, I don't mind Jin releasing stuff in Europe. Hopefully it happens 'cause it would be cool. :)

And congrats to Kame for winning the award of Best Jeanist. It's fun how my favourite female and male artists won the award. :luv2

KarenPang 13th October 2010 03:51 AM

-_-

you did a much better job of posting the tracklist for CHANGE UR WORLD unlike me Eirynne -_-'''

anyway yay , I hope this will be good

the description for CHANGE UR WORLD sounds woah :O . It will be great if it's going to be another FALL DOWN or something

dreamland2.0 13th October 2010 03:57 AM

LOL at Junno's solo titled Girls XD
Looking forward to it!!

This is what CDJ said about it
"NEVER x OVER '-' IS YOUR PART" which is a concept song where fans are supposed to sing the parts of the lyrics marked by "-" at concerts in order for it to become a complete song.

interesting!

KarenPang 13th October 2010 04:06 AM

sounds intriguing for the description of NEVER x OVER '-' IS YOUR PART's :O

It will be interesting to see how they'll be able to pull off CHANGE UR WORLD overall since this's their 1st release officially without Akanishi from now onwards

I hope it will be good as I enjoyed Bokura no Machi de & Going ! (the B-sides mainly ;p)

ll moments ll 13th October 2010 04:17 AM

^^ oh how interesting!

okay, here's a...very loose translation w/ the LE (CD-only). :)

the 13th single track is one that is not influenced by something fashionable...it's a unique song. it has a music frontier message to it (LMAO). it has a nostalgic feelng type of melody, aggressive guitar riffs, and synthesizers. Ray Luzier from KORN does the drums. it's the theme song for Going! Sports & News. "REMEMBER" is a very orthodox, part rock KAT-TUN song with synths. MR. BIG's member Billy Sheehan is on bass. "NEET Man" is Ueda's song from his solo concert. it's a light rock song. GIRLS is Junno's song, but with support from Tanaka Koki & Nakamaru Yuichi. it's a more of a unit song, lol. they have named themselves "NTT" (how cute!) they take turns on vocals and seems to be a reggae type of song.

something like that. LOL.

aw the description for GIRLS is so cute xD . So it's going to be a pickup song , like what happened for some songs in ARASHIC eh ?

I hope NEET Man will be good but where's Love in Snow in CD mode ;__;

Btw NEET in this context stands for Not in Education, Employment, or Training haha

those translations you have provided Eirynne , the whole single sound really promising

I want to hear those songs now xD

dreamland2.0 13th October 2010 04:32 AM

aww I can't wait for NTT's song!!! xD LOL

Beauty4123 13th October 2010 05:35 PM

ahh this single sounds so cool! i'm really glad that CHANGE UR WORLD is the a-side after all! hopefully it'll be much better in full than in the preview.

i really like the b-side titles, lol. can't wait to hear everything! :D

KarenPang 14th October 2010 03:41 AM

I think it's interesting that Ueda's alter ego MOUSE PEACE is reflected for NEET Man's case

Also it's great that NTT has a hand in writing & co-composing GIRLS

CHANGE UR WORLD will have a JOKER rap yay & nice that Tanaka has a hand in cowriting NEVER x OVER ~「-」 IS YOUR PART~ & also for Ueda for co-composing the song

I wonder if this ATSUSHI ... , is it the same ATSUSHI from EXILE ? 8D

oh god, Koki wrote NEVER x OVER? i'm not saying it's completely horrible, cuz i love the Koki-monster, but the ~engrish~ will be amazing, if there's any. :laugh super excited for the single!

& thx for the compliments on the set. ^^;

"CHANGE UR WORLD" (Kase by Kase Radio Rip) DOWNLOAD: http://estherzax.livejournal.com/393439.html

i can't upload the song to YouTube or anything due to uploader's rules, but you can definitely download it. :) it's pretty good for a Radio Rip.

it's a really interesting song. it's a rock song, but definitely different from their past rock ones. i think it's light-years better than Going! lol.

Beauty4123 22nd October 2010 11:38 PM

thanks for the link, irene! :D but i found it on youtube, too. now i feel bad lol! :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sV_fRuFBQ5s

it's soooo much better than that first preview we got! i agree, it's much better than Going! (although i still love it, too :P).

KarenPang 23rd October 2010 02:23 AM

CHANGE UR WORLD sounds good

thankfully it's not another Going ! but yeah melody wise it's interesting

rock tinged no.s is always a big + for me !

I can't wait to see covers , hear the other B-sides & also the PV too haha

dreamland2.0 24th October 2010 10:26 PM

Oh my oh my!! Just listened to Change ur World! It's totally amazing!!
I love love love it!!
Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KarenPang 25th October 2010 03:36 AM

it sucks that my younger sister has lost KAT-TUN after Akanishi left ;__;

I let her listen to CHANGE UR WORLD on Sat & she wasn't impressed with it ;__; she said it sounded average to her d'oh

I do admit now it's not going to be easy for KT-TUN seeing that they lost their 2nd co lead vocalist but I hope my sister's opinion towards CHANGE UR WORLD will change in days to come

when the PV's out xD

ll moments ll 26th October 2010 04:57 AM

the covers are out: http://www.johnnys-net.jp/j/artists/...op_c_ur_w.html

not anything too exciting, but they're not horrible. :P KAME LOOKS LIKE SHUUJI IN THESE. :heart

noooooooooooooooo my Kame baited days are coming back to haunt me T_T T_T T_T T_T

thanks a lot Eirynne ~_~ xD

but anyway (;p) , yeah Kame is very Shuuji like in there , OMA , I guess it's the tie that he's wearing

I know I shouldn't be looking at him only xD but the other 4 looked really good too

Ueda is still very pretty *__*

Will it be released physically worldwide, or only Japan will be released physically?

KarenPang 26th October 2010 07:10 AM

~_~ ~_~ ~_~

you don't get the memo from where ll moments ll is trying to say in a rather sadistic tone ?

CHANGE UR WORLD will OF COURSE be released in physical CD format in Japan , why would J-One Records want to release this in digital format where you have (still) devoted fans of the group that wants to buy all 3 editions of the single

really , with someone that only has 1/2 a brain & who proclaim that he listens to ARASHI since late 2007

your knowledge in the way how Johnny's market/manage their business is as good as asking you which's an apple & a pear if both objects are placed in front of you >_>

Relax.. No need to be so evil.. :rolleyes

KarenPang 26th October 2010 02:35 PM

~_~

obviously you haven't experienced Bigtop's wrath in making a lot of people real annoyed with whatever random if not illogical stuff he posted all over the forums

I could be a lot more sadistic & like what you said evil in my reply that I fired at him just now but I choose not to in case I get into any un-necessary trouble

anyway like what MeatPao told me on MSN , just because the covers of CHANGE UR WORLD have the phrase being 'said' in many other languages other than English = will be released worldwide as a single ~_~

Beauty4123 26th October 2010 05:30 PM

those covers are pretty nice! i like all the words in the background! i also see a shuuji resemblance, lol. i think it's the suit & tie that he's wearing? :P

anyway, now to wait for a PV preview!!

dreamland2.0 26th October 2010 06:27 PM

^yah it looks like the school uniform xD

I like the RE cover the best I think! They all look so cute posed like that :D

^I can't come in to that users site... >.<

First I was like, WHAAT? No swedish? Almost only swedish guys made 3 songs from this one! Then I found it. "Förändra din värld". Sweet.

Btw! Is it true that KORN's drummer plays? Thats pretty kick-ass!
