aww, awesomeness! i can't wait.
Ueda looks so strange without hair. and somehow Kame does too, but that's because i'm used to seeing him as Bem now and he looks good with his silver/gray hair. LOL. i hope we get to see a preview of the other PV too.

Akanishi Jin announces new single + fan event at Yokohama Arena
Earlier it was announced that Akanishi Jin will be releasing a new single “Seasons” on December 28th, and holding a fan event at Yokohama Arena on January 7th, 2012. The upcoming single “Seasons” will be released in two different versions; the regular edition, which includes a special 16-page photo booklet, and a limited edition, which includes a DVD featuring the title track’s PV as well as its making-of video. There will also be four different cover jackets for the limited edition to match the single’s four seasons theme. Akanishi commented about the title track, “It’s a love song, but it is not only for men and women, or lovers. It’s a song of love toward everything, including family or friends who you cherish.” The tickets for the fan event will be sold preferentially to people who purchase both the limited and regular editions of his upcoming mini-album “TEST DRIVE featuring JASON DERULO“ (set for release on December 7th). During the fan event, there will be a trial listening of songs for his upcoming U.S. album, currently scheduled to be released in early 2012. The event will also include a public interview where Akanishi will answers fans’ questions, a live performance, and a surprise present directly from Akanishi. Finally, there are plans for a live simultaneous broadcast the fan event in Los Angeles. We will report more details of this event when they are revealed. —- <”Seasons” track list> [CD] 1. Seasons 2. The Fifth Season 3. Season (Instrumental) 4. The Fifth Season (Instrumental) [DVD] ※ Limited Edition only 1. “Seasons” (PV) 2. “Seasons” (Making-of) http://www.tokyohive.com/2011/11/aka...okohama-arena/ .....

LOL. i thought of Ayu's song too. i think i'm going to like Jin's Japanese material overall. i really like "Eternal" and his Japanese stuff has more substance than his American/English stuff. I don't mind the dance stuff, but Jin really needs to work more on his interview skills and he needs to be way more confident speaking with an expanded vocab, imo.

YesAsia's description of Seasons
Akanishi Jin may be working hard to make it in the United States music industry, but he's also staying close to home. Just after releasing his first English-language single Test Drive, Jin is ending his 2011 in Japan with his second Japanese solo single Seasons. Written by Jin himself, the ballad is his touching tribute to all the people he loves. The single includes the studio version of The Fifth Season (which Jin performed at his concert tour) as B-side track. http://www.yesasia.com/global/season...0-en/info.html Eh he did performed The Fifth Season in his concert tour ? as in for Yellow Gold or the USA concert gigs ?
