yeahhh, the -QoP- tour has been going on since like, June 21st. i've posted numerous con reports/pics/scans on it.

& the "new" songs on Best of KAT-TUN: MIRACLE, BLUE TUESDAY, RHODESIA, SPECIAL HAPPINESS, ONE ON ONE, BUTTERFLY, & RUSH OF LIGHT.

a bit of trivia: "Harukana Yakusoku" was their very first unit song, while "SHE SAID..." was their last song as Johnny's Juniors. :)

awesome thank you so much for the info Irene :cool

I will add the 'new' songs trivia in my music blog right now

Harukana Yakusoku is awesome :D

so when will the tour conclude in Japan ? not anytime soon I assumed

you're welcome! :)

the tour will conclude at TOKYO DOME during the first week of August. they will have a total of four dome performances.

maybe after then they could work on a new single release. :innocent

wow sweet :cool

& yeah I'm dying for a new single , maybe a ballad will do nicely since the only ballad they have put out as a single currently goes to Bokura no Machi de which I adore

it's not that I don't like them to put out rock thumping songs as singles but sometimes it's not good when you have too much of a good thing

yeah, i think it's time for a different tune. i love the rock, but yeah, after YnU, Ktf, LIPS, even DUES had an electro/rock vibe to it, it's time for something new!

a ballad would be nice, but i like my ballads along the lines of ~EPIC-NESS~ and not bland, like SIGNAL's B-side "I'll be with you". LOL.

or electro/club would be awesome as well. :yes

aw :(

well from the singles that they have put out since 2 years ago , they only released 1 ballad ala Bokura no Machi de .

I love their ballads in Best of KAT-TUN & QOP , especially MOTHER / FATHER my god

that's true :yes

they sounded really awesome in Nannen Tattemo & SHOT !

The trumpets that was used in SHOT ! are :luv2

I really think this time they'll release a double a-side. I would like a upbeat song(like HELL, NO) and a sweet song. I mean, not a ballad, but a sweet-ballad, something like GLORIA and OUR STORY.

I would LOVE IT *_____*

oh yeah I totally forgot that an idea of a double A side will do nicely since I realise they have not put out 1 just as yet

I'm really a sucker for ballads since I adore all of them in QOP .

PRECIOUS ONE's :love

KAT-TUN never strikes me as a ballad group. not to mention they have so few ballads in their whole discography. and the ballads i like from them are -Ballad Versions- of an upper beat song (like GOLD & Le ciel). :P

Bokura no Machi de's an exception though. it's really beautiful. and watching Tatta Hitotsu no Koi did make me like the song a trillion times more! :laugh i also like Crazy Love & PRECIOUS ONE.

& I WANT DOUBLE A-SIDE TOO. :laugh

talking about the ballad version of GOLD , Irene , can you please upload it for me as I'm curious to hear how it sounds like , thanks !

& I see where Irene & Kaori are coming from especially the image that KAT-TUN portrayed onstage , with them being all moody & pissy like since their forte of sorts likes in hard rocking thumping no.s

^ ...er, ok. just watch out for Jin & his high note of doom. :laugh (GOLD -Ballad Version-)

yeah, their image does contribute to the fact that i can't imagine ballads from them. they can pull it off, i'm sure, but yeah, i like KAT-TUN w/ their high intensity and ero-kakkoi image. and when they do ballads, Koki doesn't rap! LOL.

EDIT: i'm still very pissed that Seiten no Hekireki did not make Best of KAT-TUN or CD release. :dead2

but i love it~ it should've made Best of KAT-TUN. UGH.

Jin was silver, not blonde, LOL. his ~diva stick~ was quite noticable in that performance though. :laugh ohhhh diva Jin. how i don't miss you~

EDIT: OH YEAH. WHAT ABOUT LE CIEL ~KIMI NO SHIAWASE INORU KOTOBA~? i'm pissed that the Original Mix didn't make a CD release also. UGH.

GOLD Ballad Version link - thanks !

eh I thought Tanaka did a bit of rapping of sorts in the background for MOTHER / FATHER ? not sure if that's counted though

Seiten no Hekireki is awesome. I really love it. *-*

I'll be with you is other amazing ballad from KAT-TUN. Kame's voice is so relaxing.

i'd love something like "un-" from QoP for a new single, but i dunno if it's counted as a ballad, really. :P as long as it's not a very slow song, then i'm fine. but i agree with you all, i'd just love something upbeat alot more. something rock..again. :laugh LIPS/Keep the faith FTW. :yes
