Kamenashi Kazuya comments on Yamashita Tomohisa’s exit from NEWS
On October 14th, KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya attended a press conference for his drama, “Yokai Ningen Bem“, where he was asked for his thoughts on Yamashita Tomohisa and Nishikido Ryo’s withdrawal from NEWS. Commenting on Yamashita Tomohisa, he revealed, “During work, he would say things like, ‘I have to do things this way’, so I’m not really surprised about this outcome. My feelings are half-and-half.” Since Kamenashi himself has experienced a member leaving his group, he calmly commented, “If it’s what the members decide themselves, I think that’s fine.” Kamenashi continued, “It’s not my own group, so I can’t really say anything… but they’ve been active for many years, so they should have a bond that you can’t see. If everyone sincerely believed each other, then I think that would be the answer.” Regarding his own group, he stated, “I don’t feel like we’re the ones left behind, nor do I think it’s right or wrong. We each have a life of our own.” Kamenashi shared that he hasn’t been in touch with Yamashita since he left the group. “Even if we meet, I don’t think we’ll talk about that,” he said. He also flatly dismissed the rumors about his own withdrawal, saying, “Not at all.” http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/10/kam...xit-from-news/ You know I frankly will be devastated like crap if Kame will leave the group , I really hope that will not be the day it will happen :tired |
yay, new thread! :yatta the banner is so cute, irene! :heart
so...i really want to hear a preview or something of "BIRTH", haha. :P |
i didn't even notice there were rumors going around that Kame was leaving. LOL. but i think the media is just jumping at the fact since Ryo & Pi left NEWS, they would apply it to Kame. which is lame.
but Kame is classy as always. professional, but honest answer. :) |

Who are the sexiest men of Johnny’s Entertainment?
With the recent addition to the Johnny’s Entertainment family of Sexy Zone, goo ranking could not help but ask, “Which Johnny’s Entertainment men are the sexiest?” Let’s see who came out on top below! === 1. Matsumoto Jun 2. Yamashita Tomohisa 3. Akanishi Jin 4. Kimura Takuya 5. Ikuta Toma 6. Sakurai Sho 7. Kamenashi Kazuya 8. Okada Junichi 9. Nishikido Ryo 10. Okura Tadayoshi http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/10/who...entertainment/ You know ideally Kame will & should be #1 so .... :innocent |
omg , seems that BIRTH will be a Jazz/Rock song ? o__________o
For the theme song "Birth", Kamenashi indicated that Birth is a kind of song they have not done before. Considering that KAT-TUN had practically delved into a lot of genres, what else is left? The musicians for the single are listed as follows. And they have one thing in common: Jazz Drums: Dave Weckl (ex-Paul Simon/Chick Corea) Bass: Nathan East (ex-Eric Clapton/Phil Collins) Percussion: Giovanni Hidalgo (ex-Tito Puente/Dizzy Gillespie) http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/2929673.html !!!!!!!!!!!! .... omg if BIRTH is going to sound like SHOT , I will be spazzing away super big time *________* |
jazz? that was unexpected, lol. but if it's mixed with rock, i really wonder how it'll sound like!
guess we'll just wait until this weekend? since i think kame's drama airs this saturday. :P |

BIRTH (preview)
≫ http://www.mediafire.com/?b1d5vp2wzdt9q5p @Karen , I think he's holding microphone similar to LIPS PV? |
Disn't the covers come out for like +10 days ago? I remeber I published the cover on our swedish j-pop news blog for almost two weeks ago. I thought I got that photo from here! :P http://imturningjapanese.blogg.se/20...rar-i-usa.html
But yeah, it's a microphone that explodes. I'm sure of it. :) |
"BIRTH" sounds great! :D |
BIRTH sounds interesting and Kame's new drama looks like something I'd like to watch. :D

Quote:
I can't really hear that much Jazz influences in here o_O but once again , preview sounds really good kyaaaa <3 |

Kazuya Kamenashi happy with first ratings for his latest drama
Kazuya Kamenashi, star of the latest monster-anime-turned-live-action-drama, achieved one of his best TV ratings last Saturday, reports Mainichi Shimbun on October 24. “妖怪人間ベム (Youkai Ningen Bem)” started its season off with an impressive 18.9 per cent average rating during the first episode. “I really want to thank the large number of people who watched the show. I’m totally happy right now,” Kamenashi said. It has been reported Kamenashi said it was only the beginning of an exciting series. “The original story has a lot of character. Along with our production team who keep breaking down the walls that stand against us in making his live-action show possible, and my co-stars, I hope we can become a stronger team, and put all our heart and hard work into the shoots to make this drama that will stay with people,” he said. The drama follows three monsters who dream of becoming humans, and in the process befriend a human family. It has been reported ratings during the first episode peaked at 22.9 per cent, during the scene when the three transform into their monstrous forms. http://momoedgewood.wordpress.com/20...-latest-drama/ |
i haven't watched the drama yet (...been in a cave writing & drafting papers. :weep) but i am sooooo happy for Kame & the Yokai Ningen Bem team. :D
i know Kame's been seen as a ratings killer, so i'm just glad as a fan. :) i actually think those ratings have been the best since Sapuri? or Nobuta wo Priduce, even... |

'Girlfriend' claims Kamenashi is an extraterrestrial?
According to Sohu Entertainment news and 2ch, there has been a blogger who self identifies as 'KAT-TUN Kamenashi Kazuya's girlfriend' writing negative comments concerning the group's rivals Kanjani 8 which caused quite a stir among net fans. Thousands of comments have been left on her blog by fans of various Johnnys groups. This user claims to be currently dating Kamenashi and knows all his secrets. This mysterious user said about Kame's new drama 'Yokai Ningen BEM' that it's not just a TV drama but a documentary of Kame. And that he is not a 'normal' person (but a yokai sort of extraterrestrial) Interestingly, she has also said that (because Kame possesses magic as an ET), he only needs to conjure a spell and would defeat rival groups like K8, NEWS, Hey!Say!Jump etc. 'Although he is a yokai, he's still working hard in acting and performing in concerts. Seeing him work this hard makes me want to cry' Such comments have not only angered other groups fans, even Kame's fans have exclaimed that this person 'is not fit to be his fan'. Her delusional comments has spread quickly through the internet with mediums like Twitter and is causing some negative reactions to Kame like 'if he's an ET, then stop recording shows, we want to see actual humans in them' http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/2976213.html :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao omg hahahaha , best rumour coined up in a long time man :rofl :rofl :rofl |
^ OMG hahahahaha
poor Kame~~ i wonder how would he feel when he read this.. -.-" |
LOL :roflmao what a rumor! that's just so crazy. how could anyone think that of kame? :laugh
i love the b-side titles. so cool! i can't wait to hear them. :D |

Jin Akanishi - Test Drive ft. Jason Derulo (Official Video)
|
the song isn't too bad, actually. i mean, it's definitely something you hear in America and i'm not comparing it to his past works. i'm impressed, Jin! :P i'm not sure if it will be successful on the main charts (Billboard Hot 100), but i can see it do well on the dance charts.
is that glitter or ~STAR DUST~ on the CD+DVD B cover? :laugh Junno looks like he can be a K-pop star. he has been for a while, hahaha. |
We reported earlier that Jin Akanishi will be making his U.S. debut this November, the time has come and Warner Bros. Records have sent us exclusive press releases for Jin Akanishi's music video for his U.S. debut single “Test Drive featuring Jason Derulo.”
Accompanying the powerful single will be a provocative and innovative music video directed by Frank Borin who stated, “The track has such a big and catchy sound, I wanted to make a cinematic video that is just as epic.” The music video was filmed in Los Angeles and takes place in an underground world that is inspired by the glamorous life of auto thieves where mystery and sexiness is combined with adrenaline. It has a very high cinematic vibe to its progression and style. The idea of “Test Drive featuring Jason Derulo” is used literally and metaphorically as Jin flirts his way through his crew of beautiful and seductive female thieves. Akanishi said, “I had a great time filming the music video, it definitely fits the cool vibe of the single.” http://www.tokyofever.com/2011/11/ji...gle-test-drive === I must say I'm quite impressed with the various mixes of TEST DRIVE available in the mini album & it's quite odd that I prefer the 7th Heaven Mix of TEST DRIVE as compared to the Main Mix x) PV wise , it's OK , nothing special imo :O . I guess this's 1 release I will be including in my Christmas/birthday wishlist then haha ;D |
SSTV will play TEST DRIVE's PV tomorrow morning

The singer signed autographs for 50 of those fans first in line, showed the crowd the finished music video to his song, and answered questions from 10 fans including children and housewives. “I’d never done a signing event so in the beginning, I didn’t know what to do, but it turned out to be really fun. I was very happy to be able to thank my fans in person for all of their support on the day that I got the No.1 spot on the iTunes dance song chart,” he said.

A: Full of energy, sexy, has common sense and a sense of humour. Q: What part did you have the most fun with while you were shooting your music video?

Ueda looks so strange without hair. and somehow Kame does too, but that's because i'm used to seeing him as Bem now and he looks good with his silver/gray hair. LOL. i hope we get to see a preview of the other PV too. :) |
OH GOD UEDA WITHOUT HAIR IS SO WRONG. X_X
Having not followed KAT-TUN since like BTR, this is the first time I've seen Koki with hair post-debut! I missed it! |
OH yes , I almost completely forgotten STAR RIDER is getting a PV as well , HAHAHA until Eirynne reminded me in her post :p
I wonder what kind of song STAR RIDER will be though hmm , with a title like that , maybe something midtempo ? I don't know , I'm lousy when comes to song titles speculations so :p |
I imagine Star Rider to be a dance song like Run for you.
And wow Birth's PV looks so cool! |
Akanishi Jin announces new single + fan event at Yokohama Arena
Earlier it was announced that Akanishi Jin will be releasing a new single “Seasons” on December 28th, and holding a fan event at Yokohama Arena on January 7th, 2012. The upcoming single “Seasons” will be released in two different versions; the regular edition, which includes a special 16-page photo booklet, and a limited edition, which includes a DVD featuring the title track’s PV as well as its making-of video. There will also be four different cover jackets for the limited edition to match the single’s four seasons theme. Akanishi commented about the title track, “It’s a love song, but it is not only for men and women, or lovers. It’s a song of love toward everything, including family or friends who you cherish.” The tickets for the fan event will be sold preferentially to people who purchase both the limited and regular editions of his upcoming mini-album “TEST DRIVE featuring JASON DERULO“ (set for release on December 7th). During the fan event, there will be a trial listening of songs for his upcoming U.S. album, currently scheduled to be released in early 2012. The event will also include a public interview where Akanishi will answers fans’ questions, a live performance, and a surprise present directly from Akanishi. Finally, there are plans for a live simultaneous broadcast the fan event in Los Angeles. We will report more details of this event when they are revealed. —- <”Seasons” track list> [CD] 1. Seasons 2. The Fifth Season 3. Season (Instrumental) 4. The Fifth Season (Instrumental) [DVD] ※ Limited Edition only 1. “Seasons” (PV) 2. “Seasons” (Making-of) http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/11/aka...okohama-arena/ ..... TEST DRIVE's not even released yet & already new single from AJ ? My god D: but doesn't his new single sounds so ... ayumi ish ? XD From the sound of things , it might be another Eternal ? uh ..... :eyebrow |
LOL. i thought of Ayu's song too. i think i'm going to like Jin's Japanese material overall. i really like "Eternal" and his Japanese stuff has more substance than his American/English stuff. I don't mind the dance stuff, but Jin really needs to work more on his interview skills and he needs to be way more confident speaking with an expanded vocab, imo.

YesAsia's description of Seasons
Akanishi Jin may be working hard to make it in the United States music industry, but he's also staying close to home. Just after releasing his first English-language single Test Drive, Jin is ending his 2011 in Japan with his second Japanese solo single Seasons. Written by Jin himself, the ballad is his touching tribute to all the people he loves. The single includes the studio version of The Fifth Season (which Jin performed at his concert tour) as B-side track. http://www.yesasia.com/global/season...0-en/info.html Eh he did performed The Fifth Season in his concert tour ? as in for Yellow Gold or the USA concert gigs ? :yconfused :yconfused :yconfused |

Of note is the 3/22 concert on the debut anniversary of the group as well as the dates earlier in the year (as opposed to the usual summer concerts) which could hint at perhaps overseas concerts later on? |

On November 25th, KAT-TUN attended the press conference for their new CM with Suzuki, where they announced that they’ll be holding a nationwide tour starting on Feburary 11th, 2012. It will be their first nationwide tour in 2 years, and so they’ll be visiting 12 cities, including Niigata, Nagoya, and Tokyo. The pop group revealed that they’re planning to hold the tour’s final stage in disaster-stricken Sendai, thus becoming the first Johnny & Associates group to hold a concert there after the Tohoku earthquake. It’s a long-awaited live for both the group and their fans, since the earthquake forced the cancellation of KAT-TUN’s first 5 Dome tour and big open-air live event in the area. “Everybody, we are sorry to have kept you waiting so long,” said member Kamenashi Kazuya.”Let’s have fun together sharing the same time and atmosphere.” The group also announced that they’ll be inviting fans backstage, should they purchase their new single ,”BIRTH“, and win the random lottery. KAT-TUN will be endorsing Suzuki SOLIO’s specially-designed car, whose design was inspired by KAT-TUN’s new song, “STAR RIDER“. “STAR RIDER” will be included in both their upcoming single and CM. http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/11/kat...tour-for-2012/ === Is that a wig Ueda's wearing ?!?!?!? D: D: D: There's no way he's able to grow his hair back so fast , especially since he's botak in the BIRTH PV preview |

omg that .gif :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao
yeah I love it when Kame did that in the STAR RIDER PV @.@ They released 4 singles this year & truly I never have been so impressed with them & they have shown that after close to a year or so since Akanishi left , the reminding 5 have proven that they do indeed have survived the test of times on this & I'm really proud of them ;__; BIRTH PV Yeah it's very simple which's kinda expected but still , wow , Tanaka looks exceptionally gorgeous in here <3 I really hope Ueda can grow his hair back soon , it's a bit strange seeing him botak :x Kame on the other hand , well you know 8D ;D Ah I'm so excited for them to release a new album , it's going to be a blast <3 |
the PV for "BIRTH" is great! the guys look so good. :D especially kame & junno!
but the "STAR RIDER" PV is just AMAZING. and the song, too. :cool i love it, like seriously. the song totally could have been a second a-side instead of just a b-side. i would be so happy if it was included in their new album, kinda like how "THE D-MOTION" was included in "NO MORE PAIN. the song is just....amazing! :heart the dancing was fantastic too, lol. kame's fierce. and i like that hat junno's wearing. :P |
Taguchi's outfit in the STAR RIDER PV reminds me of ....

Jin Akanishi in VOGUE JAPAN’s January edition
Jin Akanishi says he just wants to make something good, the star said his VOGUE interview, reports Oricon. The January 2012 edition of VOGUE goes on sale today in Japan. Akanishi was interviewed in LA, and talked in English about where he wants to go now having crossed over to the US and gotten a iTunes dance chart No.1 single Akanishi has never stopped surprising fans. Last year, he parted from Johnny’s group KAT-TUN, embarked on a five-city US tour, and this year made his US debut as JIN AKANISHI. The star said his reason for moving to the US was because of his love for American music. Although he was a big fan of hip hop, Akanishi said he did not want to be constricted to one genre. “Music that’s popular is changing all the time, you have to aim one step ahead. I just want to make something good,” he said. Akanishi also talks about his work on his upcoming album, which is set to be released next year. “It’s tough when I’m writing songs. It’s really hard work. But then the sense of achievement I get when I’ve finished a song is just too great.” The VOGUE interview also includes fashion shots of Akanishi. http://momoedgewood.wordpress.com/20...nuary-edition/ |

omg at that an-an cover :rubeyes :roflmao
anyway, i just heard the b-sides to the single, and i really like them both! but i think "STAR RIDER" is the strongest b-side. and the most catchiest. it's still so amazing. :D |
http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3088453.html
luckily those shots are quite little . Still Kame never fails to rock an an.an shoot so well , as always ;D |
Kame looks like a mix of Mika Nakashima and Ataru Nakamura with that make-up to me...:P
i really want to read the interview though. i hope someone translates it. or else it's going to take me 10 years to translate myself. :laugh |

KAT-TUN tops Oricon weekly chart with 17 consecutive singles
Popular boy band KAT-TUN has just landed their 17th consecutive single atop the Oricon with “BIRTH“. The single which was just released on November 30th has hit #1 on the Oricon Singles Weekly Ranking and sold 194,000 in it’s first week. “BIRTH” is the theme song to Kamenashi Kazuya’s drama “Youkai Ningen Bem“. Since the group debuted back in 2006, every single since “Real Face” to now (“BIRTH”) has reached number 1 on the Oricon. KAT-TUN will start their 2012 tour, “KAT-TUN LIVE TOUR 2012 CHAIN” at Toki Messe in Niigata on February 2nd. This will be their first tour in two years, they also have plans to release a new album at the end of February. http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/12/kat...utive-singles/ |
Paparats was more epic in concert, lol. :P it was probably one of the few songs i remember because it was one of few songs that wasn't about being in the club or about girls. and it was a rock tune, not a dance song! the lyrics are cheesy though as it's about the media portrayal of him. (one line is "you fail, sir" honestly Jin...:laugh)
actually, most of Jin's English songs need improvement in the lyrics department. they're very shallow and direct. i know he's trying & i support his endeavors, but i really want something with more substance. |

I still feel Akanishi's Japanese solo stuff has more substance if not quality It's very different as you can tell from both his solo stuff in English & Japanese respectively :O |
CD only of TEST DRIVE is up for download
http://www.j-mp3.info/2011/12/test-drive.html surprisingly , the track I was looking forward to hear the least ie. TIPSY LOVE , turns out to be probably 1 of the standout songs in TEST DRIVE XD |
PV preview of Akanishi's Seasons
O________O |
you see, this is the Akanishi i like to see. and i like the song in the preview. :D
|
oh yeah I agree with you man , Eirynne
this's the Akanishi that I like to see more often & it's true that his Japanese solo stuff has a lot more quality/substance unlike his English stuff It's quite LQ from what I've saw for Seasons but I guess it's going to be a very heartfelt if not enduring ballad Can't wait ! |
