Kamenashi Kazuya Achieves Success for his “HR Project”

NTV’s “Going! Sports and News”, where KAT-TUN‘s Kamenashi Kazuya is a regular host, broadcasted Kamenashi’s stunning success with his “HR (home run) Project” after two and half years of training. His successful home run was broadcasted last January 13th (11:55, JST).

Kamenashi was able to hit the home run after the 3rd pitch,which was witnessed by Egawa (co-host in Going!), Nakata Sho (Nippon Ham baseball player), and Kawamura Ryo (NTV announcer) who were watching on the sidelines.

Upon realising that he made a hit when the ball hit the stands, Kamenashi threw the bat and jumped with glee. “It was like a dream!” he commented.

As suggested by Softbank Hawk’s player, Matsunaka Nobuhiko, Kamenashi received a “champagne shower” to celebrate his victory back at the home base. Giant’s team manager, Hara Tatsunori, sent a congratulatory video to Going!, “I applaud you from the bottom of my heart.”

http://seelenlicht.livejournal.com/17692.html

I have to say it's a fantastic single , I really enjoy all the songs in it although this time round , I feel the 3 PVs are not as good as what I expected them to be

which's a shame as the songs are amazing , especially for EXPOSE and Connect & Go but ah well :x

Snowflake is awesome but it was funny seeing Ueda popping up twice in the PV xD = indication that the next solo song will be his in their next single ? 8D

[Beauty4123]

just watched the PVs for "EXPOSE" and "Connect & Go" & they are so great! the songs are also awesome, too. i also watched the PV for nakamaru's "Snowflake" and it was a nice PV! the song is nice, as well.

i also listened to the b-sides and i like them all! my most favorite is "STEPS TO LOVE".

[TeamAyu2004]

i love this new single!! I hope we get an album this year!

KAT-TUN tops Oricon weekly chart for 20 consecutive singles since their debut single

Popular group KAT-TUN’s 20th single “EXPOSE“, which was released on February 6th, sold 155,000 copies during the first week, and topped Oricon weekly single ranking. With this single, their number of consecutive singles topping the chart has reached 20, as they’ve been topping the chart since their debut single “Real Face” (released in March 2006).

KAT-TUN is the second artist (including both male/female and solo/group) to top the single chart for 20 consecutive singles since the debut. It was only achieved by their senior KinKi Kids 8 years and a month ago with “Anniversary” (released in December of 2004). KinKi Kids is still renewing their record, and their number is now 32 consecutive singles since their debut single “Glass no Shounen” (released in July 1997).

Congrats to KAT-TUN!

Hard to imagine REAL FACE was 7 years ago this March...

I truly wish I was in Japan when KAT-TUN was -huge-, it would have been a site to see.
Even before they debuted, like 2004-ish. Sign, the mid 2000's were so good to Jpop and Jdorama...

It's been interesting to see the shift of Johnny's popularity since arriving in Japan. It was Arashi then (2008) and it's slowly shifting to Kis-My-Ft2, although Arashi are still going strong. You can just sense it amongst the youth haha.



On a side note, I have a question for all fans of KAT-TUN haha. Can someone help me figure out where this picture is from, and if there are more?

If it's a still from a drama, telling me the name of the drama would be great too!



And also, are there any sites dedicated to compiling pictures (up-to-date ones) of KAT-TUN, or more specifically, Kame?
I know I could just download a bunch of magazine scans... but it'd be much easier to have them all in one place...
