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.”

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

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.

YesAsia's description of TEST DRIVE

After performing live shows across the United States with original English-language material, former KAT-TUN member Akanishi Jin is finally making his official English-language debut with the single Test Drive. Released only as a digital single in the United States, Test Drive will be available as a physical release for Japanese fans with two other brand-new songs! A collaboration with American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo, Test Drive is a catchy dance number that will immediately capture the attention of new fans around the world.

Note: All the songs in this release are in English.

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 *________*

it sounds more on the pop-rock side, than jazz-rock. but i'll wait for the HQ.

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.

i haven't watched the drama yet (...been in a cave writing & drafting papers. ) but i am sooooo happy for Kame & the Yokai Ningen Bem team.

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...
