ハッピー5周年記念KAT - TUNの～:heart *I wished Jin, Kame and Junno on twitter!!

ギリギリでいつも生きていたいから
さぁ 思いっきりブチ破ろう
リアルを手に入れるんだ Real Face (Real Face #1)～♪♪

Yeah, that could be interesting - wait: I thought Jin was on Twitter...

I listened to Real Face & Real Face #1 yesterday in line of this

I still can't decide which version I like better though but both are still great at the end of the day xD

^ where does the other version of Real Face come from? i never knew there were two versions! :)

oh Real Face #1 is found as the very last track in the regular pressing of their debut album BEST of KAT-TUN , Lisa

Both versions have the same writer & composer ie. Suga Shikao & B'z's Tak Matsumoto , the only difference between both are the melody

Real Face #1 is somewhat a bit more mellower but it's still good !

oh i see! i never knew that before, haha. :P i thought the other version was a newer version without jin or something, lol. thanks for telling me, karen! i've learned something new today! :D

haha nooo both versions have Akanishi's vocals xD

I just feel in Real Face #1 , Akanishi's vocals were much clearer/stronger

which's such a big difference then & now .__.

I loooovvveeee Real Face#1!!!!!!!!!!! My favourite version!!
Okay actually my favourite version is the Break the Records tour version when Yuu-chi sings Jin's part :luv2 And then tries to rap and fails rather badly :laugh

OMG yes that's golden if not epic xD

I love the epic fail stuff they do onstage & they're not shy about it if they accidentally made mistakes & etc

that's the charming part about KAT-TUN haha

Nakamaru Yuichi's Thoughts On KAT-TUN's 5th Anniversary

March 22, is KAT-TUN's 5th Anniversary. Oldest member Nakamaru Yuichi wrote about it in his latest J-web entry.

It has already been five years since popular boy group KAT-TUN made their debut with the hit single "Real Face". It topped the Oricon charts for three weeks straight and also holds the record for the highest weekly single debut sales with 754,234 sold copies in its first week.

Oldest member Nakamaru Yuichi thanked in his latest manual everyone for the love and support he and KAT-TUN have recieved over this years.

"When I look back on those 5 years, especially the live tours where we can directly meet everyone, they became best memories."

He also mentioned that everyone can look forward to KAT-TUN's upcoming activities and live tour, which's schedule hasn't been announced yet.

@KarenPang, where's J-web entry for each member's manual Journal *site link...(is it at official website?) ^おかげで for sharrin'!!

ah I have no idea sorry D: but I was told that you have to pay a fee in order to receive JWeb's from the Johnny's :O

The 1 I posted is a translated transcript , I don't have the original J Web T_T

^ same as TeamAyu? OH! I need more info about it though,,,:( ありがとうございます！

i think i prefer "Real Face #1" too. it feels more ~natural~ to me. but i understand why they chose "Real Face" to be the actual single version. it sounds more single-ly. :laugh

speaking of all this "Real Face" business, apparently Kame & Suga Shikao did their own version on the most recent Shounen Club Premium. it was really nice! AND SUGA-SAN SANG SOME LINES TOO. I WANT HIM TO SING HIS OWN VERSION AND RELEASE IT PHYSICALLY. i'm still hoping. also! i want his own version of his Arashi song, "Aozora Pedal" ;)

you know i liked the version of "Bokura no Machi de" they did during the NMP tour! :)

OMG so Suga Shikao & KAT-TUN sang Real Face together again on SC ?

I really want Suga to record his own take of Real Face since he's the 1 that wrote the lyrics for the song & let alone like what you said , his own take of Aozora Pedal too ;__;

if Himuro Kyosuke was able to do that for Keep the faith (while changing some of the lyrics & melody) , I don't see why Suga can't do that x)

yes unfortunately ._.

suga shikao & kame? :luv2 i would love to see that! i also wish he would release his own versions of those songs. :( or he could make new a song for KAT-TUN again! he takes kinda long to release new material of his own, so it wouldn't be so bad! :P

so KAT-TUN were supposed to have a new album in the spring! i hope we'll get an official announcement next month. it doesn't really feel like a year since NMP, though. RIGHT NOW never gets old. :cool

i downloaded the episode @ jone_records. but idk how to properly cut and upload to a streaming site. it would probably be taken down on YT anyway.

ikr! he released his own version of "Yozora no Mukou"! so do the same with "Real Face" & "Aozora Pedal" please!! :laugh

i'm waiting for an album announcement too! but i think it will probably be somewhat delayed with the earthquake. i know when they usually announce albums, they go on tour as well. i don't think many artists in general are touring nowadays.

actually Lisa , KAT-TUN usually tours every year during Summer . So that explained why they don't have any summer inspired singles in their discography ;__;

They did said that they will release a new album before their new tour starts this year but yes it will be expected that it might be delayed due to March 11th's earthquake

but we'll see , already I'm getting updates on stuff that will be released in June now D:
