welcome to the third KAT-TUN thread!
-- KAT-TUN is an idol group under Johnny's Entertainment. they were formed back in 2001 as a temporary backdancing unit for Koichi Domoto of the KinKi Kids. however, the boys had gotten so popular, the unit remained. KAT-TUN made their music debut in March 2006 with the single "Real Face," which was written by Suga Shikao & composed by Matsumoto Tak of B'z. the boys also appear in j-dramas, as well as commercials and they have their very own TV show, cartoon KAT-TUN, which shows every Wednesday night. it is a talk show which features many celebrity guests, such as AI, MCU & KREVA from KICK THE CAN CREW, hyde & ken from L'Arc~en~Ciel, Ne-Yo, & Rihanna.
