Jin Akanishi to release a new album both in Japan and in the U.S.

It’s been announced that Jin Akanishi’s first album, ‘JAPONICANA‘, will be released simultaneously in Japan and in the States.

Due to time zone differences, the album will be available starting March 6th in the States, and on March 7th in Japan. It will also begin distributing in other countries through the iTunes Store. Though there will only be one edition for the U.S release, the Japanese edition will come in two versions: a CD+DVD limited edition and a regular edition, which will include a CD and a photo booklet. Of course, fans in Japan will also be able to purchase the imported version (U.S release version) as well.

Akanishi has also announced that he will be holding another North American tour starting on March 9th. He will be hitting up five cities in March, starting in Los Angeles and ending at San Francisco.

The tour schedule is as follows:

Friday, March 9th: Los Angeles, CA (Club Nokia)
Saturday, March 10th: Vancouver, Canada (Centre For Performing Arts)
Monday, March 12th: Honolulu, HI (Hawaii Theater)
Thursday, March 15th: New York, NY (Best Buy Theater)
Saturday, March 17th: San Francisco, CA (Warfield)

As reported earlier, Akanishi’s second digital single, ‘Sun Burns Down‘, is also scheduled to be released on January 24th in the U.S.

LOL @ at the album title JAPONICANA which's such a rip off *cough Kumi Kuu's JAPONESQUE cough*

Then again I wouldn't lie this's something I'm kinda looking forward to get released on March 7th but hmmm just 2 singles prior to the release of JAPONICANA ?

JAPONICANA?! of all the damn titles...

it's actually quite common for just 1 or 2 singles to drop prior to an album release here in the States. record labels usually drop the most marketable songs off the album, usually upbeat songs or songs that will get the attention of the public. then, they release more singles after to help boost album sales.

the US market is very dependent on album sales rather than singles unlike Japan. that's how it works here.

===

KAT-TUN stuff from the j-storm website:



a new song "SMILE FOR YOU" will be used for a cellphone game site TV CM. it will be on "CHAIN" too. (from what i can read. i hope it's right, lmao.)

LOL yeah that's my 1st thought when I saw the title of his debut solo album , it's like huh really ? -_-

I still feel that at most Warner should ask Akanishi to drop 1 more single before releasing JAPONICANA because if this's so , then the album would need quite a lot of album tracks/material to fill up in order to go together side by side with Eternal & Seasons :O

I suspect most of the album tracks will be lifted from his Yellow Gold tour ? either way we'll see about it

===

SMILE FOR YOU is a cute song title . Wonder what the chances of it sounding like another WHITE or Going ! :3

^ ...isn't it his US album? i don't think he plans to put Eternal & Seasons on his US debut album since they have Japanese in it. it will be more similar to TEST DRIVE and Sun Burns Down.

i hope SMILE FOR YOU is RUN FOR YOU's cuter younger sister. not like Going! (eww), but maybe more like FARAWAY. or something Perfume would put out, idk. cute, but a dance song. *crosses fingers*

according to this site: Shinseido, "SMILE FOR YOU" is getting a PV. instead of a making-of, there seems to be a special image/video.

I just knew there's another reason to look forward to something that's titled SMILE FOR YOU =D

Which actually surprised me cos I thought the song that's getting the PV will share the same title as the album since NO MORE PAIN was like that

All the more really curious on how SMILE FOR YOU goes & let alone the tracklist

Please hurry up now J-One Records >_<

KAT-TUN Anime



KAT-TUNx [entag!]
http://logtomo.jp/

Watch the anime here

Watch the Entag CM here (new KAT-TUN song, SMILE FOR YOU, from CHAIN)

the short KAT-TUN anime/CM starts today in Japan (2012.01.13). The anime/CM is for the renewal of the mobile gaming site Logtomo, whose name is changing to entag!. The anime has a total of five very short episodes, with an overall running time of 4min. It's basically to promote the site

The anime scenario is that this girl is living with KAT-TUN in a "non-blood related" brother-sister way.



http://aramatheydidnt.livejournal.com/3259752.html

1st of all cool concept but 2ndly , ANIME KAME = NO GO AT ALL ~_______________________~

At least Anime Junno looks quite realistic if you compare him against the real Junno . Nakamaru as well but irk the rest are so o_O

Anime Ueda's hairstyle is quite realistic looking but his hair colour's not that orange D:

huff ~_~

i love how Maru is always the butt of the jokes.
......how adorable was Kame's story. he needs to stop. i am goingtodie.

they voiced that themselves, yeah? i love their voices.

EDIT;; don't think this was posted...but here's a rip of "Sun Burns Down". it's soooo much better than TEST DRIVE, imo. lol. then again, i never really liked Jason Derulo, so...

The concert logo is really cute , I like that smiley at the back xD

Now where's the tracklist ? I really want to see the new song titles

which's another interpretation in wanting to know if PLASTIC TEARS will be included in the tracklist , just saying 8D

^Now that I think about it, CHAIN reminds me of Sadistic Love and the performance from Break the Records. They have some dirty lyrics.

^ YAY! lol Koki...just lol. it will probably be really hot though.

for those who can't read the kanji/some sort of translation:
FINALE is Junno's solo
STEP BY STEP is Maru's solo
あの日のように (A no Hi no You ni = As of that day...or something like that, lmao, damn i'm getting rusty)
ずっと (Zutto = Always) is Kame's solo
儚い指先 (Hakanai Yubisaki = Fleeting Fingertips)
~again is Ueda's solo
DANGEROUS CAT ~MAKE ME WET~ is obviously Koki's solo
歩道橋 (Hadoukyou = Pedestrian Bridge)

& the PV song has changed from SMILE FOR YOU to LOCK ON. since it's the introduction song, i have high hopes the song will be epic, like TABOO or N.M.P.

Nakamaru has performed "STEP BY STEP" live (YOUTUBE RIP), so the other solos are new.

judging from the position in the tracklist, Kame's solo isn't going to be the club-banger i want like "Plastic tears"...isn't it.
