^ So like ARASHI

:no :no :no

no way man , what KAT-TUN does is NOT like ARASHI at all

for once , you don't get to hear someone's beatboxing away in the background & KT dress ghetto in a way too :laugh

I guess the only similarities between both bands is if you were to compare ARASHI's older works like Jidai , PIKANCHI since ARASHI's inital music roots lie in hip hop & rock

but comparing both bands now , HELL NO (pun intended)

Also , KT's leaderless unlike ARASHI

Arashi is more pop-infused nowadays. only their earlier works resemble KAT-TUN a bit. they're definitely have an edge to their work. of course they still have idol-pop in their discography, but rock is their main genre. they also have dance-infused songs too. and their image is far more "darker" than Arashi too. the rapper looks like a rapper. :P

you should probably YouTube "Keep the faith", "LIPS", and/or "DON'T U EVER STOP" to get a feel. :)

more BtR photobook promo :heart

Akanishi came in at #7 in this poll titled Top 10 good looking actors who are suited to play "bad/evil" roles

http://community.livejournal.com/japan_now/153760.html

comment(s) on this , Eirynne ? :laugh

& :O that's 1 HUGE burger on the table :dead2

i think Kame could do better "evil" roles than Jin. if Jin was an evil person, he's be like...a chill/lazy evil person. :lmfao that burger was from cartoon KAT-TUN episode with that cute little-lady that can eat so much. :)

i need money for that photobook. :scry

not meant to be taken seriously! :laugh

1st poll - terrible :grumpy :eviltongu . I never get sick of seeing Kame dear on CM's at all :P

2nd poll - LOL LOL LOL , random much ? but cool

3rd poll - :roflmao . So the Kame getting drunk & beating up taxi drivers rumours come in here xD xD

The part where it's written "Seishun Amigo revival in this year's 24 Hours Television" sounds really exciting & great :D

& oh since this's KT related of sorts , I'm going for my 1st Karaoke session with my younger sister & her friend (dubbed Yamapi's wife LOL) next Fri which's incidentally Maru's birthday

I'm going to tackle all the KT songs & be Kame for a day ie. SCREAM after I sing the intro of LIPS & also whacked Seishun Amigo too :heart

"LIPS" takes a lot of energy. i know because i've sung it for karaoke. bring water. LOL. "Real Face" was fun too.

not gonna lie, i LOLed at #2 "Any South Korean Star" for the 1st poll. but MATSUSHIMA NANAKO @ #10?! lies. she is fierce.

I probably have to bring along something like 1.5 litres worth of water on standby next Fri if that's the case :laugh

I sometimes sing the guys's songs in the gym when people are not around & it's fun , to let off steam & etc & I probably be doing that later on whee

My rapping skills kinda suck but I'm quite good at handling Tanaka's rapping in Yorokobi no Uta

Helpless Night has leaked :D - http://blue-fire0013.livejournal.com/19149.html

it's beautiful , I really like it :smitten

now's to wait for WONDER to get the studio treatment :heart

===

translation of Helpless Night - http://annatanhe.livejournal.com/35433.html

the parts that're coloured red is Akanishi's , well duh since Aka's red in Japanese

love it :smitten but it's those kinda songs you SHOULD NOT listen to if you're nursing a breakup or remembering ex boyfriends or girlfriends :O

I have listened to Helpless Night for like what 10 times already LMAO 8D & Akanishi's English command's gooooooooddddd

I APPROVE OF "HELPLESS HIGHT". *_*
you know, i think Jin has more lines in this song than in "WONDER". LOL. but yes, i hope KT or CK will release "WONDER" too.

people in the CK fan camp seem to like the song too, so it's great exposure for Jin/KT. :)

her Nakata Yasutaka track is pretty good too.

At least Helpless Night has been getting positive feedback from both CK & KT's fans

I'm not a CK fan but you have to give props to her & also Akanishi for doing such a cool song together

I told Cliff about BEST of CRYSTAL KAY earlier on MSN & he said ok & he will take note & inform me when the OS press of it is out :)

i've listened to CK. i'm not her biggest fan ever, but i like her stuff. ngl though, the LE bonus disc is really the only reason i'm only considering buying it since i'm just as a casual fan. (not only Jin, but Taku Takahashi, Nakata Yasutaka, & i like KREVA as well. LOL.)

many thanks to Cliff. ^_^

just happened about 1 1/2 hour's ago Japan time (since Singapore's behind an hour of Japan) in that Kame appeared in the 24 hours charity segment - http://community.livejournal.com/kat...e/5293305.html

LQ screenshots of him - http://estherzax.livejournal.com/37948.html

argh he looks great *______* & he's wearing PINK which's SO his colour 8D :lmfao

I have to say that I love it when he wear his hair in ponytails & braids :smitten

& he did Seishun Amigo with Yamapi :heart

omg he did seishun amigo?! NEED TO SEE :weep

but omg his hair :irked sadly, i don't like it! :scry yamapi looks great though, haha.

edit: okay i just listened to Helpless night and omg...:luv2 i seriously love it! jin and crystal's voice work really good together! such a great song :D

awww "Seishun Amigo". gosh, i miss the 2005-2006 JE era so much. :(

Kame looks OK, i suppose. i liked how Pi saw "Kame" in the water though. LOL.

The screencaps of Kame were quite LQs so it's a bit hard to judge from there but I like it

This type of hairstyle on him , I APPROVE :laugh

& my Real Face collection's complete , limited edition wise since A , the 2 T's & N have came just now :heart

<3

& oh I'm going to write about Helpless Night later on in my music blog

wow, so many...KAT-TUNs :irked haha. enjoy them karen!

LOL of course I will 8D . The only single that I did not get multiple versions of is Bokura no Machi de since the CD only regular & 1st press covers are the same

then again you never know since I saw the last copy of the CD only regular edition of it when I was at HMV on Fri so :innocent

Besides I have been spoiling you & Eirynne way too much LMAO 8D so it's time I do something for myself :laugh

i did see the Jin & Koki versions at BOOK-OFF one time...but i don't really mind getting all of the CD singles. i'm fine with my debut box. LOL. but they are collector's items, so good job finding them all!

but yes, Karen, indulge in yourself. i think u deserve to do so. :)
