KANJANI8 loves new KAT-TUN threads.
because no one visits theirs.

happy posting! :)

LOL jin IS the wannabe american :laugh

aww, poor kanjani8 :P

I know poor Akanishi :roflmao

& YAY for new thread

haha really ? that I couldn't tell , on the sadist bit

any eg.s that someone can provide to support this factor ?

EDIT - & for the record I don't mind to take Ueda since the other 5 are all taken :innocent

what's a sadist, btw? is he like...sad most of the time or something? sorry to ask. :dead2

from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/sadist :

"someone who obtains pleasure from inflicting pain or others"

LOL , Ueda a Sadist ?! that's quite hard to imagine

wow, that's something i never heard of before. so he's a bit of a meanie, basically? how...attractive? :laugh

well HEYx3's Downtown's Macchan is also considered a sadist too

maybe Ueda's a mini version of Macchan ? LOL

btw, irene, are these scans in the first post new? kame looks good with his hair in them, haha.

yayy 7th thread for kattun!!!
thanks for the graphics, irene-chan!! =)

Since this has not been posted yet , I thought I do so now :

CDTV Poll: Which artists would you have as a lover according to http://www.tbs.co.jp/cdtv/

MALE MUSICIANS:

01. Jin Akanishi (KAT-TUN)
02. Kazuya Kamenashi (KAT-TUN)
03. HYDE (L'Arc~en~Ciel)
04. Jun Matsumoto (Arashi)
05. Tomohisa Yamashita (NEWS)
06. TAKAHIRO (EXILE)
07. Takahisa Massuda (NEWS)
08. Jaejoong (TOHOSHINKI)
09. TAKUYA∞ (UVERworld)
10. Sho Sakurai (Arashi)

Akame , power !

where're the rest , especially Tanaka :weep

about Ueda as a sadist: it was the cartoon KAT-TUN episode w/ Takasugi Satomi (actually, it wasn't shown on the actual episode, but one of the specials). all of them took a psychology test where they had to draw on shapes & objects. and one of Ueda's pics revealed he was a S-type. i forgot the total story to it, but yeah.

Junno's the M-type. LOL.

Lisa - the scans are from this summer. but they're not the most recent (i think it's the July issue of Wink Up). i couldn't bear doing graphics w/ Kame's current look. :P

Karen - i just posted that CDTV list in the last thread (Post #460)? u even posted them on the Arashi & NEWS threads too!

ueda - :roflmao

I only know that taguchi likes to be kicked around by tanaka in their show

didn't expect that from Ueda

& oh sorry I didn't realise the list was already posted I think I missed it in the previous thread

wow :love

I love SMACK man . The 1st time I heard it , I was really surprised , he got some pretty good vocals going on in him

Cos he seldom sings & tend to beat box a lot so that's a good chance for me to hear how he actually sounded like

SMACK's actually 1 of my fave solo songs on the DUES single :thumbsup

i will say Maru has really improved vocally. either that or he's just getting more solo lines in songs because he was barely in their Junior songs. :lmfao his solos are getting better & better too. none of his previous ones stood out, i don't even remember his Live Kaizokuban solo. o_o;;

LOL

I didn't like LOVEJUICE initally but I do admit it's growing on me super big time no thanks to my younger sister , she keeps playing it on her laptop til she drives me nuts :dead2

that also happened to 2 of ARASHI's songs too *annoyed*

LOVEJUICE was a big surprise from me. i wasn't expecting a Western song at all, but after listening to it, i kinda laughed and went, "Oh Jin. You & your Western obsession :lmfao"

though, i kinda wish he would go back to his more ~meaningful~ songs, like "care" or "ムラサキ". just once. and i'll be ecstatic. :)

yea, parasite is catchy with it's "i'd eat u" parts, lol. :P it's just a tad bit hardcore rock for me, though.

LOL :laugh

I laughed when I 1st saw the title , I was like WHAT ?!

I find it a-ok but the part where Tanaka goes 'I eat u' makes me laugh :laugh

I lurv "PARASITE"! That and "LOVEJUICE". :heart The other solos are good, too, though I think Kame's the weakest.

:yes

the lyrics on w/o notice is cheesy especially when Kame went chu x6 ru :no

I was expecting a bit more because I really like Kizuna but ah well

I love Kame's :cry. It's my third fave out of the DUES solos.

I was expecting more from PARASITE. It's a huge downgrade from MAKE U WET imo.

PARASITE actually scared the hell outta me when I 1st heard it

I'm OK with it now . I love Ueda's Ai no Hana though :weep

fine, since we're talking about solos, i'll say my favorites. :laugh

亀梨和也 - 絆 (Kizuna)
赤西仁 - ムラサキ (Murasaki) (though, i get a laugh out of "ha-ha" too)
田口淳之介 - サムライ☆ラブ☆アタック (Samurai☆Love☆Attack) (LOL. I LOVE IT.)
田中聖 - Make U Wet
上田竜也 - Love in snow
中丸雄一 - key of life

i think the most consistent person with solos is Ueda, actually. which probably explains why he is the first to get solo concerts, LOL. i love his solo works, but i regard him as my least favorite member. :dead2

oh, i just realize my favorites either come from KAT-TUN Live Kaizokuban concert or the ones on cartoon KAT-TUN II You. haha!

^ LOL at what you said about Ueda :laugh

frankly I like all the solos on the DUES single . The guys can actually carry a tune on their own imo

^That's true. Because I find their group harmony rather weird at times...

Kizuna = love.

yeah & I usually tend to hear more of Akame , Tanaka (in rap mode) & Nakamaru (in beatboxing mode)

Taguchi & Ueda not really unfortunately :(

& yes yes Kizuna is fantastic !

& speaking of Kizuna , I received my Seishun Amigo single from ebay today :D

^Aw. I want the single, too~. Because the songs are all good.

yes it's I enjoyed all the songs on the single it's really good

mine's OS press & it even has a karaoke sheet of sorts when comes to the Japanese lyrics with the Romanji & etc in addition to the chinese lyrics which's cute

I didn't except the Karaoke sheet like Japanese lyrics though that was a surprise

ah, "SHORTY"! i love that song too. :heart

"青春アミーゴ (Seishun Amigo)" is my favorite Johnny's single. mostly because it was my first JE single i've ever heard. there was one time in life i memorized the whole dance from the PV. :laugh i dunno if i can pull it off today, haha.

i was looking at K-T's Japanese Wiki and did they really had a Junior song called "**** ME〜Do me one time，Try me one night〜"? i know it's Wikipedia, but haha. it's amuuusing.

i'm on a mission to find this song, LOL. but i'm pretty sure i would've heard it by now seeing that i'm a psycho KAT-TUN fan. :P

^ LOL good luck with that Irene & yes I love the whole Seishun Amigo single it's great stuff

yeah, i'm not finding any sort of proof that the song exists. :P
but i've heard the other Junior songs, like Rockin', Pika Pika II, Messenger, and the others on the unreleased Junior song list from concerts & whatnot.

Leona Lewis was a guest on cKT today. how weird. i didn't watch the epi. yet.

^ wow Leona Lewis? I'll have to check that out =)

Oh i've heard of that song xD
I have a mp3 of it here :P
http://www.mediafire.com/?gslimnhbroi

I think it's what you're looking for xD the title is a little different...

^ OH. NOW THAT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING! :laugh
haha, i've heard of "FREAK OUT". LOL. maybe the title on the Wiki page is the original working title and they edited it for JE.

i'll take the mp3. thank you ayupi! :D

yeah but look at it this way Kaori , at least they will be in the top10 when comes to year end so that's not so bad

pooo. :eviltongu oh well, it's still one of the best JE singles this year, so it's all good. :cool

I realise I have been playing LIPS non stop on a daily basis for a while now :laugh

be it song or PV . I always seem to be listening or watching it whenever I'm at the gym to get my heart pumping

KT's doing well, nevertheless. LIPS was #1 yearly for like the longest time before Thelma & Arashi, lol. i personally think they're releasing the best JE material this year, so i can deal without the yearly #1. they already got it with "Real Face" back in 2006 anyway, hehe. :P

and i think it's time they focus on individual projects. i'm glad Maru & Ueda are getting the spotlight with their individual shows. i know KT's popular, but i think for the success of the group, Japan needs to know the other 4 members, LOL.

JINNY PERMED HIS HAIR, WHAT. & KAME'S HAIR IS STRAIGHT AGAIN, YAY.

i think it's from October Myojo. lol.

JIN'S BEEN HANGING AROUND PI TOO MUCH!! :grumpy
they kinda have the same hairstyle. but Jin has longer hair, so it looks funny.

:laugh

kame is slowly looking better by straightening his hair. just grow it out, please? lol. and jin looks okay with a perm. it's like the new "in" hairstyle among the JE men, huh? :laugh

i can picture him like that now....hot-ness. :luv2

ewww, if someone in JE gets the mushroom/bowl cut, i'll kill myself, LOL. worst. hairstyle. ever.

OH GOD NOT THE BOWLCUT. ANYTHING BUT THE BOWLCUT.
perms look ~fabulous~ in comparison to the bowlcut. :dead2

Kame should have his hair a wee-bit longer, like Gokusen 2 length! or Tatta Hitotsu no Koi. he looked sooo hot. :heart

LOL he's so....dorky with the perm. :laugh

but lisaaa likes. :lech

:roflmao , poor Akanishi . Why's everyone in JE perming his hair & doing the whole musical chair ?

& I thought he looked odd in the DUES PV with hair extensions :dead2

but on 2nd thoughts , he looked more natural with it in the DUES PV

OH HOW NICE, jin & yamapi can be cool yet strange aunts w/that hair! because. ...that's what pi's perm reminded me of. an old aunt ;-;

^ LOL :laugh

my younger sister who watch code blue said that on the show , the perm is more fitting going on in Yamapi but outside of it , nah :dead2

Spoiler: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...ling/jin-1.jpghttp://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y23...7b16b60002.jpg hey...

:grumpy
Don't make me get my water gun T_T

It's not really Jin's face, but rather their hairstyle looks similar
and they both have a perm now = =||


:roflmao

just saw Jin's permed hair on myojo.

Was laughing at it with my friends.
His permed hair is sooo extreme.
Yamapi's looks much better.

maybe JE should consider to start a band/club for guys with permed hair :laugh

there seems to be a trend going on within JE about this matter

^lol, yup that's right. perhaps it's a trend in JE.

I think I saw Ryo with slightly permed hair too from somewhere.
Or maybe I remember wrongly...

^ ok for that I really don't know :laugh

I hope a new single or a new DVD will roll out soon

^hahaha perhaps I really remember wrongly...

yupyup I need new song from them!! maybe Kame should
get a new drama, and they'll have tie-in once again!!!
lol, I'm just Kame-starved right now!!! :laugh

^No, no! I remember seeing Ryo permed somewhere, too... Or maybe both of us remember wrongly?

And hasn't Maruyama a perm now, too? What's up with that anyway? It's like completely wrong in most cases. KimuTaku, Akanishi, Nishikido, Maruyama...

It only seems to suit MatsuJun and YamaP.

Wow, i can't wait to watch SCP next month. *-*

^ ohh, is it the -QoP- concert report on SCP, right? i want to see too! :D

Ryo has a perm? D:
Maruyama looks weird with it also, LOL.

Yes, it is! I'm not sure, but KAT-TUN will sing too, won't them? o.o

i hope they do! don't artists sing on SCP? like arashi and NEWS, for example?

for SCP there's the Johnny's member talk w/ Kokubun Taichi, a Stage Report, Live Performance, & Lady's Talk (but who cares about this one, LOL. :P)

from what i read, KT's only doing the Stage Report. i'm not too sure on the Live Performance. but, they've performed there before though.

i could be wrong, haha.

& I thought I couldn't stand MatsuJun in a perm , it's only til I saw pics of him in hair extensions 2 years back which forced me to take a step back & think :dead2

you're welcome! =)

haha, jin with his hair permed like that is cute xD

I honestly couldn't recongise Akanishi with the perm at all , he looked even more tired than usual :no

any idea why he had to go for a perm or he just wants to ?

it's probably the IN thing right now in JE . Maybe Akanishi got some styling inspiration from the other guys who went for it :laugh

& yes I want to see at least a bit of the QOP tour footage now , omg imagine for TABOO ...

EDIT -

Popolo Oct 08 Scans - http://ashkt.livejournal.com/89922.html#cutid1

Scroll down to see KAT-TUN

:thud at Tanaka , I didn't know he has tattoos til I saw that pic

^ohh I didn't know Koki has tattoo too...



Ohh so both Aga-chan and I didn't remember wrongly. :laugh
I think I saw it from Duet, Potato, or somewhere else.
But his permed hair wasn't as extreme as Jin's.

Kame, Koki, & Maru have been questioned by Mr. Kokubun, if anyone is keeping track with KT's SCP talks. :laugh so, only Junno, Jin, & Ueda have yet to go. i would be very interested if Jin goes. i'd like to hear from him. :yes

Jin probably got a perm because him & Pi go to the salon together quite often. LOL.

& oh, i think i remember Ryo's "perm" now. yeah, it wasn't extreme or anything. it looked quite nice on him, actually! :D

EDIT: OCTOBER MYOJO SCANS :)

thanks for the link, irene-chan!!

yup poor Ueda!! His hands are full of blisters! =(

oh wow, i didn't even notice Ueda's blisters. i wonder if Kame got them while boxing too.

Junno's looking fiiine as usual. ;)
and i love that drawing of Nakamaru. the nose is just right, LOL.

Koki is so sexy, omg :'O

wtf jin whyyyyyyyyyyyy :weep

I hope Koki keeps his hair like that for a bit longer, I love him blonde. Kame looks good here thankfully, I have not been feeling his recent looks :no JUNNO :inlove

yeah, Kame's been all over the place this year with his look (like ASDFGHJKL;HOTT in LIPS era to DUES era, then OMGWTFISTHAT?! in -QoP- era). i'm glad he looks somewhat normal now. :laugh

i think Akakame switches hairstyles. haha.
Kame: I'LL STRAIGHTEN MY HAIR NAO.
Jin: OH OK, I GO PERM MINES NAO. YAMAPI, LET'S GO TO SALON!!
Pi: OK GURL~

LOL that convo made me LOL, literally. :P

interesting conversation. :roflmao

yeah, i'm kinda crazy with my made-up convos. :lmfao

OCTOBER MYOJO / POPOLO + OTHER SCANS
*friends locked* plz join jone_records!

i love the group Popeye scans! :luv2
i've been waiting for the HQ ones.

really? well, i like 'em. i don't think they're the BEST EVAR, but generally, Popeye has great photos. but i think they should've had another group photo w/ Ueda & Maru in center. T&T and Akakame got front poses, but not Ueda/Maru.

...but then again, you guys know how ridiculously biased i am with my boys. :laugh

EDIT: UGH. UGHHHHHHHGHGHGHHGHH. i'm so jealous. :weep

THIS GIRL GOT A PRESENT FROM KAME.
she got it from a -QoP- concert since Kame told a Junior to find a fan to give a "present" to. she thought it was a signed clear file, BUT HOLY COW!! THAT IS ONE AWEEEESSSSOMMME PRESENT.

JE was nice & even shipped it to Australia. :O

oh, if you don't know what it is, Kame draws on this paper-thing for his solo "w/o notice??" & SHE GOT IT. ASDFGHJKL;

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f.../ueda_soro.jpg

drawn by ueda, lol.

lol yea, mouse peace. :laugh

ugh, that girl is so damn lucky. HATE HER :eviltongu

I like the shots in Popeye!! They're all super kakkoiiii!!! :D


And yes, the girl's super lucky!! How I wish I could
receive present from Kameeeee!!

LOL. oh Ueda.
well, it says "MOUSE PEACE" on Johnny's Net. & THE MOUSE IN THE PICTURE IS MAKING A PEACE SIGN. :3 (well, both his hands are, LOL)

ASDFGHJKL; did anyone see the preview for upcoming cartoon KAT-TUN?!

will smith? this should be funny to see, haha. they get good guests.

You left out the best part! I never knew Kame was actually going to dress like a girl omg :heart Will Smith will be great, I loved him on SMAPXSMAP too :D

LOLWHAT. I DIDN'T KNOW. 8D
...i guess that explains him holding a purple bootie.

okay, just bring on this episode. :D

yeah, from the previews of this week's episode.
i hate when they tease us and show the episode like, 2 weeks after the preview, like they did with the Sendai clips. :grumpy

LOL, i really liked that one-man show thing this week. Jin was so cute copying him. now that's the Bakanishi i love! :P
