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 · #**402** 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 · #**403** 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.

)

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

KarenPang · #**404** 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

I really like the B-sides , SMILE is so beautiful

ll moments ll · #**405** 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 · #**406** 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

Nackar_91 · #**407** 11th May 2010, 09:58 AM

I think it's a good thing they're not continuing with that. XD.

In ten years:

KAT-TUN 15 : We're still here People! - 15 singles

KarenPang · #**408** 11th May 2010, 04:41 PM

^ LOL , I will be really amused if they pull a Koda Kumi / 12 weeks singles collection . That will be so epic xD

Oricon top 50 singles

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

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

ll moments ll · #**411** 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.

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_ · #**412** 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 · #**413** 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 · #**415** 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 · #**416** 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 · #**417** 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.

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 · #**418** 14th May 2010, 07:49 AM

oh goody , thanks , I make a note of that in due time when I review Going ! in my music blog

later on will be the last MUSIC STATION special medley performance ...

I really hope they can do SMILE T_T . If they did FALL DOWN with Going ! last week , I don't see why they're not able to sing SMILE live later tonight

Mai82Go · #**419** 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 · #**420** 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 .__.

anyway ...
