I love the B-side for the "Going!" single. I'm not crazy about the title track but I will buy the limited edition for the Koki & Nakamaru solos and the regular edition for "Fall Down."

I also can't wait to see the con. My friend said the MC is really fun for this tour.

Mai82Go 10th May 2010 03:18 PM

^Which concert are you going to attend?

I really like Fall Down, and while I'm absolutely no fan of Going! I cannot deny that it is catchy. I just don't like it, but that's ok, if I loved everything it would be weirder.

KAT-TUN on The Music Hour (former Utaban) = more Hadaka Apron stories from the ZEBRA QUEEN? Can't wait to see that. haha.

Seems like KAT-TUN are working on their 5th album! right now. Which basically means no Akanishi since he left for L.A. just a little while ago. So the 5th album will be ready for the World(Asia) Tour.

ll moments ll 10th May 2010 11:20 PM

have fun at the con, devilayu! :)

wow, an album already! it will probably be another "cartoon KAT-TUN II You" with Jin being absent for a majority of the tracks again. (does this mean we'll get a bonus disc with Junior songs? LOL. i still need "Seiten no Hekireki" GDI. :grumpy)

does anyone know why Utaban got re-named? it's so weird...

KarenPang 11th May 2010 03:58 AM

wow a 5th album already ? That's quite sudden O_O

& no Eirynne I have no idea why Utaban's name been changed D:

Going ! single has leaked out except for TaNaka solos

ll moments ll 11th May 2010 06:16 AM

i don't think an album is sudden. they usually release an album this time of year. late spring/early summer. & they usually have 2-3 singles per album as well.

KarenPang 11th May 2010 06:36 AM

well at least they wouldn't be fitting in 5 singles for their 5th album since

Best of KAT-TUN - 1 single
cartoon KAT-TUN II you - 2 singles
KAT-TUN III QUEEN OF PIRATES - 3 singles
Break the Records - 4 singles

yeah you get the idea :laugh

Actress Riisa Naka saw Kazuya Kamenashi's naked body

Well, not exactly but close. The two recently appeared on Music Station, where actress Riisa Naka revealed that while they were costarring for the drama “Kami no Shizuku“, which aired back in 2009, Kazuya Kamenashi stood in front of her wearing an apron over his nude body. Apparently, she was asked “When you costarred with Kamenashi, what kind of interesting scene of him did you see and why?” Her answer was “I saw him wearing an apron over the nude body….”

It seem that none of the KAT-TUN members knew about this, as several of them appeared surprised and shouted, “Really?! Are you kidding me?!” with Kouki Tanaka screaming “Hadaka apron?!” (naked apron in Japanese) several times. Kamenashi later explained, “Oh yes that one. It was a character usually wearing suits. And once I had to cook, and I cooked in the studio. However the white shirts were stained by the oil, so I took it off.”

He emphasized that the staff had given him an apron and to reassure everyone, he said “I was wearing pants at that time! It was suit pants” in order to generate laughter, but we all know that's not true...

Going !'s 1st day sales - 99,770

ll moments ll 13th May 2010 02:46 AM

LOL. i must be getting Alzheimer's...i forgot they had the 1,2,3,4 single trend for their albums. :laugh but anyway, single sales are low...i was expecting it, tbh.

hopefully this means they will won't release another pop song for a while. ;) i mean, Going! is more...NEWS/H!S!J than KAT-TUN.

MissElin_ 13th May 2010 10:58 AM

Yeah I really hope this will scare them away from the pop (all other Johnny's bands like songs) and just go back to beeing KAT-TUN with an edge...

Oh well...

At least FALL DOWN pleases me.

Nackar_91 13th May 2010 11:31 AM

There's always some variation between single sales, but a drop THIS big really tells us enough about the popularity of the song XD.

Maybe fans are also unhappy that Jin is not on the single?

yeah & probably also Going ! is not something that KAT-TUN will normally do as well

if they released something like FALL DOWN , then most definitely sales will be better as it's more their style . Going ! sounds like something the other Johnny's will sing/do

Anyway , the TaNaka solos are finally out & I have to say Answer by Nakamaru is soooooo nice *_________________*

I'm assuming both Answer & I DON'T MISS U are old songs , Eirynne ? I read somewhere that both songs were done by them way before they debuted right ? (I think LOL)

2nd day sales of Going ! - 56,285 ; #1

Total 2 day sales - 156,055

Nackar_91 13th May 2010 01:15 PM

It's still amazing though that what's considered low sales for them it still higher than any other Johnny's group (except Arashi, of course) would sell. XD

KarenPang 13th May 2010 01:38 PM

KAT-TUN's selling power is still strong even though they're not at their peak anymore

at least for now they don't really have that much problems moving 300K & above for their singles , as compared to NEWS

ll moments ll 14th May 2010 06:23 AM

I DON'T MISS U was Koki's solo during DREAM BOYS. Answer was written for Nakamaru's stageplay. they're old, but not very...old. :laugh

haha. i guess their popularity still makes them above the other groups. but i do think Jin's absence and the song choice make for lower sales this time around.

(...but you know...when Jin came back, Yorokobi no Uta did not sell as much as Bokura no Machi de. haha, but i thought BnMd was a better song, so let's hope the next six-member single will be better! ;))

KarenPang 14th May 2010 07:49 AM

Mai82Go 14th May 2010 01:55 PM

KAT-TUN will also be in next weeks Music Station. Force people to like Going! more, the more often they have to hear it? Doesn't work with me to be honest.

KarenPang 14th May 2010 02:40 PM

O_O

ok as much as I like KAT-TUN & all , this's really over the limit & it's actually considered good that they still can sell decently with Going ! but yeah wish I can see BREAKERZ performing 4 times straight in a row in MUSIC STATION but it's not going to happen .__.

i only saw the first Going! performance. but, you know JE wants you to eat it up anyway. i suppose with sales being the way they are, he's just trying to get more exposure. i honestly think the way JE has been handling everyone has been horrible since like late 2007.

i don't get why their "low" sales are getting an individual post on arama. i guess these numbers are "bad", lmfao. bad for KAT-TUN, but heck, they're going to oversell NEWS.

oh yeah I saw that post

I HAHA at it really >_> :rolleyes :o

I'm not particular about sales but I suppose considering that Going ! is selling even worst than their other singles & let alone White X'mas , it's quite a big deal to people who're so particular about sales no.s & etc

for me I don't care , it's another #1 in the bag for them

yeah, i've been reading news in Thailand, so i kind of expected their Thai concert to be cancelled. hopefully when things get better in the future, they can go back and perform there! :) hopefully this means they can schedule a US date like they said (Hawaii, was it?)

i still need to DL/buy the single(s). XD

LOL EXCUSE ME. No More Pain? BRB LAUGHING. :laugh
but anyway, can't wait! i think i'll get the LE. i want the DVD.

i'm guessing it will contain these tracks:
Love yourself ~君が嫌いな君が好き~
THE D-MOTION
Going!
Kame solo (probably "Lost my way"?)
Junno solo
Koki solo
Ueda solo
Maru Solo
+ 5/6 new songs

not bad! i don't think Jin's vocals will be in this like what happened for cKIIY. but, we'll see! man...i was hoping the roman numerals would return. :P

EDIT;; finally managed the listen to the single! "FALL DOWN" is amazing. i really wish it was the A-side instead, but whatevs. it got released, aha. LOVE TaNAKA'S SOLOS AS WELL. these three really save the single from being an utter disappointment, imho. overall, a good single. just a reallly weakkkk A-side. it's grown on me, but i consider Going! to be the weakest A-side along with Yorokobi no Uta.

i prefer Love yourself more nowadays because i checked the lyrics of Going! and i prefer Love yourself's more. haha. Going! really is another typical JE sports support song, GDI. at least Ly had some spice...

KarenPang 17th May 2010 10:18 AM

Mika Nakashima had NO MORE RULES & then now KAT-TUN is going No More Pain xD :laugh

but Eirynne , you sure that THE D-MOTION will be included ? I doubt it since it's a B-side but I don't mind if it's included in the album as it deserves so

that's really a ??? in here since Johnny's doesn't include B-sides in their albums

& hey you didn't comment for SMILE yet ;p

The D-Motion wasn't a regular B-side though. It was heavily promoted and even had a PV, so I think it actually has a fair chance to be included.

I know but it's not titled as Love yourself / THE D-MOTION so there's a chance that THE D-MOTION might not be included in No More Pain even though oddly enough , the outfits that they wore on the Love yourself covers were taken from THE D-MOTION PV o_O

So I still count the song as a B-side xD . BREAKERZ released LOVE FIGHTER ~Koi no Battle~ last Nov & they had a song called Winter Bell which's a B-side & it's their 1st B-side no. to get a PV

but it didn't made the cut on their 4th album FIGHTERZ so yeah ;)

Nackar_91 17th May 2010 11:23 AM

Well, sometimes songs like that do, sometimes they don't : P.

Some artists have double A-sides even though only one of them has a PV, others have PVs for both but still only include one song. In the end, you can't really tell in advance XD

KarenPang 17th May 2010 11:36 AM

yeah I know but as far as I know , I haven't seen a B-side being included in a Johnny's album at all

so I don't know , maybe this time round , I will be surprised if THE D-MOTION makes the cut in No More Pain ?

Taguchi's Mum Has a Pretty Sharp Tongue?

KAT-TUN are recently in the middle of their "KAT-TUN LIVE TOUR 2010 PART1:ARENA TOUR" and for their new single "Going" the group is appearing at various TV programs. As one of the programs was around the time of mothers' day, they were asked, what kind of person their respective mothers were in a wide ranging topic.

From the other KAT-TUN members, Taguchi's mother was described as the "the strongest woman" and Tanaka Koki described her as "mean". Nakamura explained the seemingly bitter experience in that aspect: "When talking to her normally, she would all of a sudden get a very sharp tongue. And while you know that it is a joke, I was quite shocked, when I got to hear things like "It would be totally OK, if Nakamura would only do the voice-percussion and not sing at all", from Taguchi's mom."

With a wry smile Taguchi Junnosuke answered: "That's so bad! (laughs) That was when I wasn't around, so I would just like to say that I am very sorry about this!"

Since Nakamura is really outstanding as a living beat box, maybe this was just her way of showing her praise a little to quickly. Either way, the stories about Taguchi's mom continue...

^ UMMMM NAKAMURA....GET MARU'S NAME RIGHT, OK TABLOIDS. :P

i think "THE D-MOTION" will get album treatment. as said, it has a PV, promoted, and i'm sure they'd like to put a song with Akanishi's vocals in the album too. :) as for a JE album with a b-side on it, KinKi Kids' "F Album" contained "Ai no Katamari", the b-side from "Hey! Minna Genki Kai?" (however, it's an "Acoustic Version"). but who knows for sure. we'll find out soon enough!

as for "SMILE", Karen, i'm not a fan. i prefer "Going!" over it. :laugh

KAT-TUN Members are Good at Online Shopping?

KAT-TUN's new single "Going!" is hitting high sales. And on the live, Junnosuke Taguchi talked about from shopping to online shopping in MC section. It seems Koki Tanaka ordered abdominal exercise equipment on the airplane. In addition, Nakamaru recommended: "Have you tried Yahoo auction? That is amazing!" Kamenashi asked: "How to do that?" Then the topic turned into the auction talk, with Nakamaru and Tanaka explaining how to buy things at a lower price to other members. How often do they buy things on the internet? And Tanaka said he even asked "How to make my hair grow faster?" on the internet.

However, in the end, Ueda shouted: "I don't know about internet! Traditional media is enough for me!" And he turned to Nakamaru who recommended his fans to buy CD on Amazon, "No, I'm happier if you buy from shops directly." Was it an interesting MC for you to find out a new side of the members.

Now right before they start world tour in July, they are having tours in arena-class venues in 10 cities nationwide. And their new album "NO MORE PAIИ" has been decided to release on June 16th! It will be their 5th album, with "Going!" included, as well as other songs produced by top artists. All 13 songs, including 5 solo songs, will be included (14 songs in normal edition). Video clip and footage video DVD will be attached to the first limited edition, while a bonus track will be only in normal edition. Keep your eyes on them

300k? If only! Queen of Pirates sold 280k and Break the Records sold 240k. Considering the general drop in record sales and their personal drop in record sales I'd say we should be happy if they reach somewhere between 200 and 240k.

Shinseido has shared a little bit more information about "NO MORE PAIИ". LE will include a 32 pages booklet. The new PV & making will be the one for "N.M.P. (NO MORE PAIИ)" and the bonus track in the RE is called "HELLO"

TSUYAKA
i believe from Nakamaru, he said that the PV was for the opener for the BIG WORLD TOUR, so it will probably be something upbeat or aggressive. at least i hope it is! :P

not to mention I seldom see even a B-side made for their singles & being included in the album too

I don't think that has happened for the other bands like ARASHI & NEWS

KT-TUN to hold first Korea concert

Japanese idol group KAT-TUN will be visiting Korea for their first-ever concert in the country in August, according to their Korean licenser Mnet Media on Friday.

A press release from Mnet said that the six-member boy band will hold their two-day concert at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul on August 6 and 7, as one of the stops on their Asia Tour titled “KAT-TUN World Big Tour.”

They are scheduled to take the stages of Japan, Korea, Taiwan and several countries throughout the Asia region.

A representative from Mnet stated, “Local fans are showing great interest in the group performing in the country and they will be able to experience high quality music from KAT-TUN.”

KAT-TUN, composed of members Kazuya Kamenashi, Jin Akanishi, Junnosuke Taguchi, Koki Tanaka, Tatsuya Ueda and Yuichi Nakamura, made their debut in 2006 with their first single album “Real Face.”

They are considered to be one of the most popular boy bands in Japan and have appeared in various Japanese variety shows, dramas and commercials.

great :)

Kame's solo "SWEET" leaked! (OKAY SOMEONE HAS THE ALBUM ALREADY, LOL)



i thought it would be a sugar pop song, lol. it's not my favorite solo of his (Kizuna & 1582 are just perfect) but i like it! :)

KarenPang 5th June 2010 07:36 AM

I have to ask someone to rip those files from YouTube now x)

less than 2 weeks before the album's going to drop . I hope Ueda's RABBIT OR WOLF ? will leak out xD

anyway N.M.P. (NO MORE PAIN) is great & I'm happy it's getting a PV as it deserves so

mmm Kame's SWEET is well sweet xD but I like it as compared to w/o notice ?? by a long shot :)

KarenPang 5th June 2010 10:21 AM

I have asked x-megumi-x to rip/upload both N.M.P. (NO MORE PAIN) & Kame's SWEET solo :D

N.M.P. : http://www.mediafire.com/?mwj0zjjm2mz

SWEET : http://www.mediafire.com/?dwmo2fxzgzj

MissElin_ 6th June 2010 08:01 AM

Love N.M.P.

Have alot of hate for SWEET.

Love the covers. Finally something more then standing in a studio and just look at their heads...

Gotta have the one with the horses. :heart

KarenPang 6th June 2010 09:39 AM

my sister & I are singing a lot of praises towards N.M.P , it's just so wow

I hope the PV will be something solid to look out for . Kame's SWEET needs a few more spins for me , it's not as epic as Kizuna & 1582 but it's still nice & not a total flop to me

Nackar_91 6th June 2010 09:46 AM

No more Pain is pretty nice. Not too excited about Sweet though, but the guitar line is neat.

CeReSu 6th June 2010 09:56 AM

N.M.P is pretty good ;)

Misato 6th June 2010 01:26 PM

I love No more Pain! This song is awesome!!!
And Kames solo is boring. ;_; I want something like 1582.

Beauty4123 7th June 2010 02:38 AM

i'm late :dead2 but i just heard SWEET and N.M.P. :D


SWEET isn't a bad song from kame, but like irene said, kizuna and 1582 are perfect for me also. :yes still, SWEET is nice and calm for me to listen to, so i don't really hate it at all, lol. those scans of kame in that YT link, though....:smitten

NO MORE PAIN is amazing!! i like the intro in the beginning. as a whole, it's such a dark and powerful song, so i looove it! i admit, though, i think the best album opener would be TABOO from QoP, but it's okay, haha. i dunno why i bring up QoP, i just still really love that album :P

i hope the PV leaks soon! now that is what i really wanna see!

Mai82Go 7th June 2010 07:21 PM

Make you wet Chapter 2 (Koki solo) leaked, at least a version from KAT-TUN style. It's really good, I like it better than Make you wet 1. Dirty lyrics, as expected (the song is called Make you wet....) Since I'm also a fan of I don't miss U I have to say I like Koki best when he's singing. He really, really has a nice smooth and energetic singing voice. I hate that he is so much reduced to rapping (and screaming) because that sounds not so good most of the time. So please Koki, continue to make solos like this.

ll moments ll 8th June 2010 01:51 AM

Koki's singing can be either hit or miss. but when he's doing his own solos, his singing is very good! i think during ballads, it can get pitchy. i love "MAKE U WET -CHAPTER 2-" though. the production for the music is awesome! :)

here's the YouTube links for "MAKE U WET -CHAPTER TWO-" & a new KAT-TUN song, "PROMISE SONG":




"PROMISE SONG" is the "NEIRO" of the album. i think it's a good album ballad, imho. their ballads on their singles are usually far better, but i like this one.

so far, the album seems to be a mix of "QUEEN OF PIRATES" & "Break the Records". which is a good thing, imho. seems like the abnormalities are the single tracks so far, lol. :P i was worried about the style since Jin isn't in the picture, but i'm pleasantly surprised by what's out thus far! :)

dreamland2.0 8th June 2010 02:02 AM

I like both songs a lot! This album sounds very good so far. :yes

KarenPang 8th June 2010 04:33 AM

time to get the songs to be rip from YouTube again ehehehe 8D

looks like NO MORE PAIN is not going to be another cartoon KAT-TUN II you which's a good sign

already the songs that have leaked out sound promising & that goes for the covers too x)

omg that's quite @_@ / scary with regards to the N.M.P PV screencaps :O :dead2

but no matter I'm expecting quite a something PV as I already adore the song so :)

exactly 1 more week before the album's out woo , I can't wait to get my copy <3

dreamland2.0 9th June 2010 08:26 AM

Oh man I just saw the tiny little preview commercial it looks so scary but so awesome!!
:O

KarenPang 9th June 2010 08:33 AM

when I saw the PV screencaps , I was in DAIGO STARDUST's MARIA mode cos of the overall scary vibe that the screencaps gave me :O

this should be interesting , I hope it doesn't morph into an Acid Black Cherry's Jigsaw part 2 , that will scare the crap outta me :dead2

MissElin_ 9th June 2010 09:05 AM

^Ooooh that would be coolios I would say. ^^ A.B.C. have always been fun to watch!

I agree on most of this. He have a great oice and really should show it off some more. I remember that I got a bit supriced how nice it sounded in I don't miss you since I'm mostly used to hear his voice with others or in rap form...

KarenPang 9th June 2010 10:10 AM

noo I don't want an ABC style PV on KAT-TUN , that will be just o_O but a Black Cherry inspired PV on KAT-TUN's case will be interesting ehehehe 8D 8D :innocent

well N.M.P's case , I really love the song so no matter whether the PV's going to be interesting/good/bad , I don't care but obviously if the PV's going to make the song even more/way more kick ass then it's no problem for me

Mai82Go 9th June 2010 04:37 PM

What I've seen so far from the PV for NMP is good. I like KAT-TUN when they're darker and more aggressive. And they all look sooooo good. *drools* Can't wait for the album now. After the disappointment that was GOING! they are now taking the right direction.

ll moments ll 10th June 2010 04:44 AM

MOAR PREVIEWS. 8D

Ueda's "RABBIT OR WOLF" (1min 40sec)


KAT-TUN "HELLO" (FULL!) (Bonus Track!)


KAT-TUN "RIGHT NOW" (55sec)


KAT-TUN "N.M.P. (NO MORE PAIN)" CM


OMG I CAN'T CONTAIN MYSELF. EVERYTHING SOUNDS GOOD. :D
i even approve of the autotune in "RIGHT NOW". IDC. IT SOUNDS HOOOOT.
dang, Ueda's borderline rapping in his solo. i love it!

OMFG KAME. YOU BEAUTIFUL CREATURE. you have eye make-up, tehehehehe. ;) "N.M.P. (NO MORE PAIN)" PV looks epic.

dreamland2.0 10th June 2010 05:09 AM

:O:O:O
This album sounds so good!! I love it!!
It's tough to decide which version to get because the PV looks epic but I really like Hello!

KarenPang 10th June 2010 05:44 AM

ok I really need to get Aurelie to rip HELLO now xD . I will hear/listen to everything when I get back home

but NO MORE PAIN is shaping up to be good which I'm relieved/glad & I'm lucky Aurelie's getting the album for me & I didn't need to pay for it due to illegal deals I have going on with her *joke xD

KarenPang 10th June 2010 10:12 AM

Tsuyaka updates

http://tsuyaka.livejournal.com/64165.html

some samples from NO MORE PAIN are already up on JStorm's website

rats , Tanaka's solo & PROMISE SONG are already taken outta from YouTube T-T

never mind wouldn't be long before the album's officially out xD

Nackar_91 10th June 2010 10:28 AM

Wow, everything sounds great! Could this be ... the first KAT-TUN album that I like? XD

KarenPang 10th June 2010 10:37 AM

^ LOL

eh does this mean you didn't listen to their 1st 4 albums ? O_O

my fave outta the bunch's definitely KAT-TUN III -QUEEN OF PIRATES- . Somemore it's the very 1st Johnny's album I listened to . Still very impressed with it up til now <3

ll moments ll 10th June 2010 11:59 AM

wow, really? you didn't like QUEEN OF PIRATES or Break the Records? this is my opinion, but NO MORE PAIN is shaping up to be a hybrid of QOP/BtR. just w/o Jin and there's some more autotune, lol.

i really liked Break the Records, in terms of album-wise. i loved the lyrics more in that album, but QOP has some stellar stand-out tracks musically. (uhhh...SIX SENSESSSS :heart)

Best of KT is awesome too. :laugh

KarenPang 10th June 2010 12:04 PM

HELL YEAH , SIX SENSES :D :D :D

SHOT ! was totally great too *__* . I so love that Jazz feeling/influence in the no. & frankly speaking , I never skip a single song on QoP & it's 1 of the few albums be it Johnny's wise or not , that I really like from the start to the beginning .

Well at least NO MORE PAIN will & hopefully be much better & a league way better than cartoon KAT-TUN II you . The 1st disc on cartoon KAT-TUN II you was X_X for me to handle but thankfully , the 2nd disc was stellar

Peacefuldays <3

Oh yes, but I mostly just liked the singles from those. This is the first KAT-TUN album that I really love the album tracks from as well.

ll moments ll 10th June 2010 12:17 PM

^ ahh i see. :)
i think the singles are weaker this time around, so...album tracks seem marvelous to me, ahaha.

lol Karen, i think the main problem with cartoon KAT-TUN II You was the didn't know how to fill in the void 'cuz Jin was here in LA. with their experience, NOW, they know how to do it. :laugh & i think that's why NMP will be more successful as an album, imo.

i do like "Peak" and Junno's whacky & lulzy "SAMURAI LOVE ATTACK" tho (& the singles). :P

but hey practice makes perfect :)

ll moments ll 10th June 2010 12:20 PM

right? :P

EDIT;; thread's nearing 500. you can keep talking until i make the new one...wayyyyy later in the day. i got some commitments. but if the thread gets out-of-hand, there's a scandal, someone got married, Kame reveals he is gay, etc. then i suppose out of it, someone new can make the thread! :)

let it be known i will be sad my streak of starting KT threads will be broken. :weep but i won't take offense it it, really! ;)

KarenPang 10th June 2010 12:24 PM

oops , I should have re-read on what Nackar_91 said before posting

ok never mind lmao :O

You can download HELLO that Luna62 ripped for me -> http://www.mediafire.com/?3villbzlyoi

Beauty4123 10th June 2010 06:16 PM

the NMP PV seems to be looking very...epic? that's the only word i can think of to describe it! :laugh i hope the full video leaks this weekend!
