Wasn't expecting CHAIN to be a potential new album title but I suppose it beats NO MORE PAIN lmao

Covers for Akanishi's Seasons single

CD & CD + DVD



Alternate jacket covers according to the 4 different seasons



Is it bad that I like the scenery/background drops for the covers more than Akanishi himself XD

=_='''

[ll moments ll]

yes, i need a new KAT-TUN album please! "CHAIN" is too similar to "SWEET CHAIN," lol, but i wouldn't mind if it's the album name.

i'm glad they're touring again!

The new Suzuki SOLIO CM with STAR RIDER as BGM =D



I can barely hear STAR RIDER being played as the background D: but nice CM as always

Wouldn't be long before BIRTH leaks out & R.I.P Ueda's beautiful hair ;_;

Kame on the other hand .... 8D 8D 8D

"STAR RIDER" sounds awesome!

[KarenPang]

On November 25th, KAT-TUN attended the press conference for their new CM with Suzuki, where they announced that they’ll be holding a nationwide tour starting on Feburary 11th, 2012. It will be their first nationwide tour in 2 years, and so they’ll be visiting 12 cities, including Niigata, Nagoya, and Tokyo.

The pop group revealed that they’re planning to hold the tour’s final stage in disaster-stricken Sendai, thus becoming the first Johnny & Associates group to hold a concert there after the Tohoku earthquake. It’s a long-awaited live for both the group and their fans, since the earthquake forced the cancellation of KAT-TUN’s first 5 Dome tour and big open-air live event in the area.

“Everybody, we are sorry to have kept you waiting so long,” said member Kamenashi Kazuya.”Let’s have fun together sharing the same time and atmosphere.”

The group also announced that they’ll be inviting fans backstage, should they purchase their new single ,”BIRTH“, and win the random lottery.

KAT-TUN will be endorsing Suzuki SOLIO’s specially-designed car, whose design was inspired by KAT-TUN’s new song, “STAR RIDER“. “STAR RIDER” will be included in both their upcoming single and CM.

Is that a wig Ueda's wearing ?!?!?!? D: D: D:

There's no way he's able to grow his hair back so fast , especially since he's botak in the BIRTH PV preview

[KarenPang]

STAR RIDER PV =DDDDD

holy moly *____* & autotune again = yayness

& yup it's definitely a wig Uepi princess is wearing , no way his hair was like that in the past D:

Junno on the other hand =

[ll moments ll]

someone leaked a CD-rip of "STAR RIDER" on Tumblr & i really like the song. is that Ueda on the high notes? he sounds so different.

...so...since the PV and stuff is out...where is the rest of the single?

[KarenPang]

you were saying , Eirynne ? 8D

http://www.j-mp3.info/2011/11/kat-tun-birth.html

omg STAR RIDER sounds so much awesome in HQ & let alone BIRTH *_____*

The other 2 B-sides are also really good & they're a bit different from KT's previous B-sides

I can't wait for the new album now , pleassssssssssseeeeeeeeee XD

[ll moments ll]

i really liked this single! "BABY B MINE" is my favorite B-side. "STAR RIDER" is my favorite song on the single........



.......not because of this or anything. kame has such glorious hair

[KarenPang]

omg that .gif

yeah I love it when Kame did that in the STAR RIDER PV @.@

They released 4 singles this year & truly I never have been so impressed with them & they have shown that after close to a year or so since Akanishi left , the reminding 5 have proven that they do indeed have survived the test of times on this & I'm really proud of them ;__;

BIRTH PV



Yeah it's very simple which's kinda expected but still , wow , Tanaka looks exceptionally gorgeous in here <3

I really hope Ueda can grow his hair back soon , it's a bit strange seeing him botak :x

Kame on the other hand , well you know 8D ;D

Ah I'm so excited for them to release a new album , it's going to be a blast <3

[Beauty4123]

the PV for "BIRTH" is great! the guys look so good. especially kame & junno!

but the "STAR RIDER" PV is just AMAZING. and the song, too. i love it, like seriously. the song totally could have been a second a-side instead of just a b-side. i would be so happy if it was included in their new album, kinda like how "THE D-MOTION" was included in "NO MORE PAIN. the song is just....amazing! the dancing was fantastic too, lol. kame's fierce. and i like that hat junno's wearing.

[KarenPang]

Taguchi's outfit in the STAR RIDER PV reminds me of ....



Watanabe Yoichi the war photographer accidental talento XD XD XD

Jin Akanishi in VOGUE JAPAN’s January edition

Jin Akanishi says he just wants to make something good, the star said his VOGUE interview, reports Oricon.

The January 2012 edition of VOGUE goes on sale today in Japan. Akanishi was interviewed in LA, and talked in English about where he wants to go now having crossed over to the US and gotten a iTunes dance chart No.1 single

Akanishi has never stopped surprising fans. Last year, he parted from Johnny’s group KAT-TUN, embarked on a five-city US tour, and this year made his US debut as JIN AKANISHI. The star said his reason for moving to the US was because of his love for American music. Although he was a big fan of hip hop, Akanishi said he did not want to be constricted to one genre.

“Music that’s popular is changing all the time, you have to aim one step ahead. I just want to make something good,” he said.

Akanishi also talks about his work on his upcoming album, which is set to be released next year.

“It’s tough when I’m writing songs. It’s really hard work. But then the sense of achievement I get when I’ve finished a song is just too great.”

The VOGUE interview also includes fashion shots of Akanishi.

I'm so glad he's not like that anymore lmao

[Beauty4123]

omg at that an-an cover

anyway, i just heard the b-sides to the single, and i really like them both! but i think "STAR RIDER" is the strongest b-side. and the most catchiest. it's still so amazing.
