hahaha... I still don't really like Junno's blond hair. It looks weird to me.

Yup it was Kame who got me into KAT-TUN.
But slowly, I started to like the rest of the members too, especially Maru and Ueda!!
Maru's really funny at times, and he's really very talented in beatboxing.
To me, Maru's like the big brother of KT, taking care the rest of them.
And Ueda, yes he's mysterious and you just don't know what's he thinking about.
Especially in cartoon KT, he can just sit there, be quiet and make no comments at all.
Hahaha but I like his cool-ness and he's good in guitar!!

^Yes, Ueda is the silent, mysterious type. But at the same time he can make really random, funny comments.
Have you seen the clip with AT-TU, who have to make friends with a dog. Ueda is so cute in it. ^^ (You can watch it here.)

^xD I only knew that about Taguchi. Haven't seen the clip.

Taguchi's blonde hair really freaked me out at first. However, since I watch the drama, I became used to it. Thankfully, he said he's going to dye it back to a dark color once the drama wraps up. *relieved*

I'm looking forward to the end-of-the-year Shounen Club's and the Johnny's Countdown.

i'm not really interested in Shounen Club anymore since KAT-TUN has their own show. XD but i do watch it every once in a while, but i usually catch it if it's on a streaming website.

i wonder if Junno dyed his hair back now. YC should've wrapped up. i think it's gonna be weird seeing him normal now. XD

^lol Yeah, maybe it will be like "Taguchi, dye your hair back to yellow-blond AGAIN! >o<". (Probably not, though. xD)

^Yeah. lol I think that maybe that's why most(?) people don't seem to like it. But I still think that it may have been for the anime-look. ^^

yeah. Taguchi said himself he wanted a really yellow blond because it was the color of Bidou in the manga. XD Jin should've dyed his hair pink, LOL. cuz Miroku in the manga has pink hair! haha.

SUGOI. i still haven't watched Yuuki, where both Shun & Kame acted in. mostly because the fact of Kame dying will make me cry. LMAO.

Kame went to visit Jin & K8's Yokoyama Yu (Seishirou-kun) during YC filming. Yoko said he was in awe seeing the famous "Akame" together. LOL. i <3 Yoko! he's a secret Akame fanboy, i know it!

Yay for Oguri-sa~n. <3

Kamenashi can (also) ask Ueda for help in boxing. ^^ Well, they already "trained" back in the day... :P (Stupid comment. xD)

oh yeah, Ueda does a lot of boxing! i hope he makes a cameo in OPG, but i've read somewhere he has no interest in acting. that's a shame cuz i think he's the only member that hasn't been on screen yet.

someone uploaded all of Nakamaru's appearance on Shounen Club Premium! [HERE] it's locked, so join kattunlove if you haven't already!

i think i like SCP more than the regular SC. it's more personal and they usually talk about their hardships in Johnny's Entertainment. like, how KAT-TUN didn't get along at all when they were first grouped together. it's a very interesting perspective, i was kinda shocked at first. not just KAT-TUN, but i saw Tegoshi & YamaPi's episodes and how NEWS was made.

i found YamaPi & Tegoshi's SCP subbed on YouTube. :) as for KAT-TUN's, someone gave a translation on kattunlove (for Kame's appearance). they're just randomly subbed. i think someone subbed Ohkura Tadayoshi's (K8) appearance too. but, i have yet to DL it.

excuse my double posting, but both Jinnifer & Junno have a new hair color!~

[ZOOMIN]
i really like Junno's light brown hair! and Jin's a darkdark brown. :)

anyone see Music Lovers? wow, it was like a mini concert! it was really cool. Kashii Yuu & Kenbishi Yuuri's dad (don't kno the actor name XD) was there.

EDIT: [SUKKIRI] has more clips from the YC finale.

^ Thanks for the links =)
Jin's new hair looks great <3
Junno looks good too...I'll miss that yellow hair of his though xD

I'm avoiding watching anything more of the last YC episode...so I'm going to stay away that link :s

I haven't seen the Music Lovers yet...I gotta check that out :)

thanks for the links, moments!!
Junno's new hair color looks much better. =)

And YC finale's tonight!! Can't wait!!!

I don't know... I've only seen Taguchis new hair for a moment, but with the new colour I think it would look better if it was shorter?

But to join a LJ community one probably needs a LJ, right? '^^a I've watched Yamashitas and part of Tegoshis SCP episode though. Yamashitas SCP made me like him even more. I liked the introverted side he showed/described. ^.^

Junno definitely needs to get a haircut. It was pretty evident in the last few lives that his hair was too long (even greasy looking, sometimes). I like the caramel coloring, though.

I'm on the fence about Jin's hair. I like the cut but I really liked the brown color on him. Some people noticed that his hair is now EXACTLY like Yamapi's!! XD

i like Junno's hair when it's not too long or too short. like when they were announcing their debut last year. :yes i didn't like the look he sported when he was doing Hanayome to Papa. too short! yeah, i read Pi's J-Web (sometime ago) that he got his haircut with Jin. or Jin was around. i forgot.

i'm secretly missing Junno's Bidou hair. XD

& Junno isn't the third member of the Akame shizz because his purpose in KAT-TUN is to get bullied. especially by Koki! XD i think the only member of KAT-TUN that actually loves Junno enough not to tease him is Kame.

i actually really really love Kame/Junno. sometimes over Akame, but shh! don't tell XD
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...nnokame4re.jpg
http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...junnokame9.jpg

:3

yeah, i posted links on YouTube on the previous page. it's a caramel brown color now. :)

i like how almost everyone's missing the Bidou yellow hair. and when he first got the hair everyone was all like, "OMG CHANGE IT BACK DDD:" :D

Hahaha or perhaps I'm the only one who don't miss Bidou's yellow hair?

Sometimes I really feel bad for Junno cuz he's always 'bullied'
by Koki especially on CK. Even though the way Koki's trying to
kick Junno is funny...

I think that Koki actually really likes Taguchi. Because the only other member he usually teases is Nakamaru, who is his best friend in KAT-TUN. Though yes, I sometimes feel bad when like all of them tease him (like in cK with the YC actress).

Not short, just shorter. lol

I wonder how Taguchi feels when they bully him...like I wonder if it bothers him or not...or if he is to used to it to really care >.<

KtF is still managing to stay within the top 20 ^^
no.14 today

LOL. if the year was extended, i think it would have. last week it got to 416k. :D

i think Taguchi's quite a strong-willed person to endure all that bullying. i'm sure it bothered him when they were first formed (i don't think any of the members liked each other when they were first formed, to be honest). i remember reading Jin & Junno got into fights the most when they were Johnny's Juniors.

but, i think with all the stuff they've been through KAT-TUN has a strong bond with one another. that was pretty evident when they were hosting the 24 hour event last year.

Taguchi always gets kicked by Koki in CK but recently, it's been more obvious that he's the butt of Jin's jokes. And I can recall several times during the course of "Yukan Club" promo when Jin has hit or punched Taguchi, lol. It's so cute! Seriously, though, they only do it because Junno doesn't fight back AND because he's always going to have a smile in the end.

Tonight's CK was cute. Particularly the interaction with Aly & AJ. I thought Jin would at least want to talk to them in English but it didn't happen (or it didn't air). Instead, he was being an adorable brat, haha. And Kamenashi's black hair = love. <3

I preordered the KAT-TUN calendar for 2008-2009. Anyone else? The special gift is a KAT-TUN eco-friendly tote!

^I'm still considering whether to order or not. It comes with
an original eco bag and it's a just a ring-binded weekly diary.
So not very sure I would use it or not.

But see what they do in CK like teasing Junno shows that their
bond is strong. Junno doesn't mind getting kicked and he will
always smile in the end.

And yeah, congrats Ktf!! Keep on going!!

i think i'm going to get the calendar (i love tote bags! i have like, 8 or something, LOL). i didn't last year and i kinda regret not getting it. :3 the pictures were gorgeous!

haha yeah, i loved this week's CK. Aly & AJ were so adorable. i loved the way they went along with everything and it wasn't awkward. they are my favorite Western guests on CK so far! tho, Alicia Keys is going to appear soon, i saw a picture at JPM. i can't wait! :D

Junno's smile is one of my favorite things about him. he's always smiling. well, most of the time, haha.

^ wow Alica Keys? Thanks for the news :) That sounds really cool.

lol I was laughing the whole time Jin was messing with that piece of puzzle...he just looked so sure it would fit, even though there was no way it was possible :laugh

yay Junno always seems really cheerful...you just gotta luv him :yatta

I'm pretty sure it's going to be very similar to last year's. 99% photos and the last few pages will be actual calendar, lol.
Pretty good extras this year for all the Juniors calendars and I was tempted to get another. :x

|| moments || - The 2006-2007 calendar is still available for order at HMV for 2,000 yen. If I end up placing another order there, I might have to get it. :dead2

yaya new KAT-TUN single Feb 6th!!
It's the theme song for 1 Pound of course ^^
http://mixmin199.livejournal.com/38971.html

"LIPS"...very interesting xD

^thanks for the news!! yayy new single!!
LIPS sounds like a ballad to me.
But I hope it'll be something like Ktf!

I'll be ordering the calendar through Kinokuniya bookstore here.
The deadline is in 2 weeks' time so I still have time to consider. =)
I didn't buy last year's cuz it was only 5-member calendar.

oh no! new single! XD well, now i know where my xmas money is going, haha! but, "LIPS" is a very interesting title. i wonder how it's going to sound like! i can't wait for the preview on One Pound Gospel.

devilayu - oh really? i thought it would be out of print/sold out by now, but i'll think about it. thanks for the heads up! lovely signature, btw! :)

No problemo! I thought it was out of print as well. I only came across the listing since I preordered the calendar for the coming year.
As for the sig, I needed a new one anyways and decided to join the Juniors bandwagon. XD

The new single jumped to spots #1, 2, and 4 today at the Neowing site, and #1, 2, and 3 for CDJapan! I already have so many preorders going on right now but I'm gonna preorder "Lips" as soon as the holidays are over.

i hope this is upbeat song again..coz i like they upbeat song..
i dont like they ballad song..

i think the song will mirror the drama. Bokura no Machi de was a srsly a song version of Tatta Hitotsu no Koi. so, i think it will be a cute, yet funny upbeat song since One Pound Gospel's a comedy.

i'm not a fan of K-T ballads either, unless it's BnMd, Crazy Love, or PRECIOUS ONE. XD i REALLY HOPE one of the b-sides is a hawt, club song like SIX SENSES. i realllllly want another one of those songs. they pull it off so well!

^ They SERIOUSLY need to put "SIX SENSES" onto a disc. That song is awesome.

In general, I like their ballads but I'd probably say I only listen to half of them regularly. I LOVE "Bokura no Machi de," which is set as one of my ringtone ID's on my cell. The drama probably encouraged repeat listening for me.

hmm.. I don't mind a ballad similar as Bokura no Machi de!

there r alot of version..
i hope they realese next album before may..coz i wanna buy it

I hope it's similar to BnMd...I totally love that song =)
I love KAT-TUN's slower ballad songs ^_^

yay Keep the Faith is no.6 today ^^ I really wonder how much it's going to sell all together before it's off the charts =o

Bokura no Machi De is like...one of my most favourite Kat-Tun songs. XD

Good to hear about a new single so soon! There was too much of a large gap between Yorokobi and Keep the faith.

yay 1million! lol ^_^
Maybe 500k? That would be awesome!

yeah I think the gap was because there were no dramas with any KAT-TUN members during that time xD

Well Sushi Oji had Maru...

I think 1 million is quite difficult for nowadays.
500k or 600k would be great!!!

hopefully Keep the faith can reach 450k overall! 500k would be great too!

i hope LIPS matches Keep the faith's sales. i think after that, an album release is due! :)

yup-yup it is a perfect time for a new album and this time with all 6 of them together again =)

According to Ginoru at d-addicts the official JE website says that LIPS is a hard rock song :S
And Maru said that it is already recorded =)

i hope more than 500K/...
at least i hope more than KTF

really?? that's great!! I really need another song like Real Face and Ktf!!!
But it doesn't really fit the drama well...

And yes after 3 singles, it's time for a new album!! :yes

@summersnow - yup I thought so too...a slower song seems more fit for the drama >.<

I don't think even KAT-TUN can hit 1 million anymore...but we can still hope =)

I think the Sushi Oji movie is being released on DVD April 19th ^_^
http://community.livejournal.com/kat...e/2558953.html

yay KtF is no.4 today =o

wow, Ktf is really doing great on the charts! i'm happy. :)
i think KAT-TUN can pull another million seller, but the song has to be epic and attract both fangirls and the general public.

ouuuu, LIPS is hard rock? awesome. i love their rock songs, so I'm expecting another great song.

real face can hot a million selling ^^

great ktf up to #4

Real Face is different. Cuz it's their debut single which many fangirls
had waited for many years. And also, there were 6 different versions
which might have helped to push up the sales.

I also hope that they can break another 1 million record.
But have to depend on the situation.
Anyway Ktf really has maintained good sales! =)
It's great that it's still at top 10!

It would have been more surprising if Real Face hadn't hit 1 million xD

KtF is no.3 today :)

Total Sales all together : 426,980
Thanks to mixmin199's LJ for the info =)

well thats great..
i hope they can surpass FOL ^^
lips must sell better than ktf..

I have to say I hate them. But I loved Keep the faith so much, lol <3 My friend has the CD, she can rip it if you guys want it.

yaww..
i ktf is great..
so how is today's chart??

i haven seen the PV..

KtF is at no.11 today...
It looks like the KinKi kids re-released a lot of their Christmas singles suddenly and there all above KtF XD

Here is the PV riozz if you want to watch...it's really cool ^^
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sLjogoWiWc

KK was my first JE group...love them lots =)

lol I liked the random dancing in the parking lot ^^ and the matrix stuff was okay...

What is everyones favorite PV?

yaya SIGNAL is cool ^^

I'd have to go with Yorokobi no Uta's pv :)

YOU is my least fav...it's to white xD

I still love REAL FACE. Specifically, I love the Jin angle. That is seriously one PV that I could watch in a row like 10 times (which I sadly have, because I was playing around with the angles on the DVD).

So guys any more info about LIPS?

yay a new Kame commercial, KFC! ^^
http://youtube.com/watch?v=jFcWMbqGb6k

He looks really cute ^^

eh really...animal abusers? That's sad =(

yup totally hot...gotta love Kame... ^^ He's finger lickin good xD

KFC = Kamenashi Fan Club. hehehe.

i don't know which PV is my favorite. i kinda like all of them, LOL. but i think i like "Real Face" the best. i died watching it, since you know, it was their first PV ever. XD~ i also like the PV for "Bokura no Machi de" too. i love simplicity. <3

KinKi Kids is LOVE. they're so gooooood. i gotta thank KAT-TUN for their discovery. i stumbled upon a video on YouTube when they were backdancing for them at Music Station. i was like, "hey, i kinda like this song!" LOL.

*high5* KinKi Kids was the first JE group that I went crazy over
and till now I'm still their loyal fan!! :D
They re-released alot Christmas singles? I didn't know about it...

And thanks for the KFC CM link! He was sooo hot in it!! :yes


For favourite PV, mine would be Real Face. Same as devilayu, it's the only PV
so far that makes me watch it over and over again, without getting tired of it.

Kamenashi Fan Club? lol I would definitely join xD

The Real Face pv is really good...I must have seen it more then 20 times :)

yay KinKi Kids ftw! ~~ <3

I think they re-released them because they are all in the top 20 single charts at the moment =)

SIGNAL as a PV was ok (the making of was SO CUTE) but I think that's something that is better live. That way, you can really see the dance moves. I dunno why but I love, love, love the part where they snap their fingers.

i loved the KAMEEE~ KAME~~~ bullying in the SIGNAL making of. it was too cute! <3 i thought the PV was good too.

LOL yeah. i forgot what show where i saw it from, but everyone was still Johnny's Juniors (all of NEWS, K8, & KAT-TUN). it was Kusano Hironori (ex-NEWS) that started KFC. Kusano was such a Kame fanboy, LOL.

^ lol thanks for the info, I never even knew that it existed :D

I thought the KFC=Kamenashi Fan Club was just a joke. xD Well, learned something new. ^^

Salad's fine. =3 I'm vegetarian, so meat/chicken is a no-no anyway.

LIPS preview ^^
http://community.livejournal.com/kat...e/2577672.html
lol all I can hear is Jin xD

^ really? I think it sounds great...of course I easily love any rockish song KAT-TUN does :)

yeah, i only hear Jin. XD

i hope a better rip is out once the drama starts. either that or i hope one of KAT-TUN's radio programs leak it early! 8)

thanks for that, ayupi! =)

but I can't really catch the song well.
12s is just too short for me to judge.
However, it sounds abit like YnU to me.
Hope to get a better rip soon!!

waww thanks for the preview..
the sound looks great...

yea we will start to 2nd thread..
congratz

^Wow, true! =O Go KAT-TUN threa~d!

I could hardly hear anything in the preview (only talking). ^^; I should try listening to it again later. Thanks for sharing. ^^

^yup, mostly all I heard was the talkings.

yayy!! time for 2nd thread!!

MIRROR (MF) - LIPS -preview-
I can't say nothing right now, cause I almost couldn't listen nothing...
But It didn't surprised me...
