Big big big congrats to KAT-TUN !

What a way to wrap up KAT-TUN's 15th anniversary with their long overdue 1st appearance on Kouhaku

For all the horrible things their longtime fans including me having to endure that happened to them over the years , to say their 15th anniversary is so much more better than their 10th is a big understatement
