a review for Queen of the Pirates!!!
OMFG, Taboo is still just one of the most aweseomest things...ever!

Go & try their 1st album Best of KAT-TUN , Kevin

it's also good although some of the non singles need a bit more time to get drilled into your head

& yes I still think that T∀BOO's like the best opening song of an album that I came across for the year .

EDIT :

Current estimated sales for QOP - 274,339*

I have a question to ask about the album booklets for KAT-TUN's 3 albums . Don't they contain any pics inside the album sleeves at all ?

I have Best of KAT-TUN & the CD + DVD edition of QOP & there're no pics inside both album sleeves :(

EDIT again :

T∀BOO is really awesome. I really want a fancam of it ;-;

Fancam - Ai no Hana: http://community.livejournal.com/kat...e/3592473.html

OMG, Tat-chan has such a amazing voice. His voice is really beautiful. And fans singing the beginning is love <3

26 *,275,993 **1,654 KAT-TUN Ⅲ QUEEN OF PIRATES / KAT-TUN 08/06/04

OMG, THANK YOU TABOO FOR THE "AI NO HANA" FANCAM. :heart
i love that song, it's so beautiful!

i heard this week's cartoon KAT-TUN was "made of win". i still need to watch it though.

^ Ohh I think it's the one where they are finally together again. Gonna start watching it now. I hope it's like the one where they went to Okinawa..that is like my fave episode ever :heart.

^ i loved the Okinawa SP. that was really adorable. too bad it was raining cats & dogs. :dead2 Okinawa looked so beautiful when the weather was good.

the boys looked like they had a good time though. :)

The Sendai special is really fun. For the first part, Kame and Ueda act as AD's because of the batsu game from the Ayase Haruka okonomiyaki episode. The other 4 members give them a hard time by making them do stuff like fetch drinks and aid in making their lunch.
At the end, they play janken (rock, paper, scissors) to determine the AD's for the next round and it's Kame and Nakamaru. The preview for next week has Nakamaru preparing to bungee jump for the first time and the promo emphasizes the 7 year bond amongst the guys.

I have a question to ask about the album booklets for KAT-TUN's 3 albums . Don't they contain any pics inside the album sleeves at all ?

I have Best of KAT-TUN & the CD + DVD edition of QOP & there're no pics inside both album sleeves :( except for the album & back covers

is that a norm for KAT-TUN ?

haha, yeah. i loved the Sendai SP too. it was really fun seeing the 4 fatties torture Kame & Ueda. :laugh i hope they do more off-concert stuff like that and show it on cartoon KAT-TUN. :)

i'm really glad they have an actual bond now. it may have taken like, 6 or 7 years, but it's amazing how much they've changed. even when i started liking them, they didn't have a bond like they do now. ^^

i can't wait for next week!

karen - Best of KAT-TUN didn't have any pictures, the First Press Normal Edition of cartoon KAT-TUN II You had pictures, & the Regular Edition of -QoP- had pictures. :)

Thanks for that Irene

how about the singles ? do they have any pics inside the single sleeves ?

^ yeah, some of them do.

Real Face - none
SIGNAL - Limited Edition (CD+DVD)
Bokura no Machi de - Normal Edition (First Press)
Yorokobi no Uta - Limited Edition (CD+DVD) (there's a picture, but not a group one. it's a picture of the elevator from the PV. :dead2)
Keep the faith - Normal Edition (First Press)
LIPS - Normal Edition (First Press)
DON'T U EVER STOP - none

SIGNAL's photos were solo shots, while Bokura no Machi de & Keep the faith had group shots. LIPS had duo shots (Akakame, etc.).

hmm ok & :dead2 at Yorokobi no Uta

which contains the best single/album sleeve pics outta the whole lot ?

KAT-TUN doesn't sound big on this aspect

my favorite CD-packaging was for "Bokura no Machi de". i liked the CD cover, the group photo, & the art on the CD itself is pretty! Koki also designed the KAT-TUN logo, i think.

i liked "Keep the faith" & "SIGNAL" too. (i don't own the SIGNAL edition with photos though. :weep)

aw :(

they really should incorporate more pics in their single/album sleeves , they're too lazy :eviltongu

but at least they make up for this issue with their great music :D

haha yeah, they don't have a lot of photos in their releases. but i do like when it comes to music, they put more b-sides as well as the PV + PV making for their first presses. i can make do without the photos, that's what Johnny's magazines are for. :laugh

haha that's true :laugh

are they currently on tour or something to promote QOP ?

EDIT -- & oh Irene , any idea what're the 7 new songs that they recorded specially for Best of KAT-TUN ? cos I have no idea on that :dead2
