Akanishi Jin & Kuroki Meisa's daughter attends private "American style" school

Akanishi Theia is the first child of power couple Akanishi Jin & Kuroki Meisa. She is already six years old! Similar to many couples Akanishi and Kuroki play a large role in the education of their children, and want the absolute best for them.

It has been revealed that Theia has been attending “The American School in Japan“, at their Roppongi campus. Abbreviated as ASIJ, the private day school is for students beginning in Kindergarten all the way to grade 12. Founded in 1902, it was created by a group of women who recognised the growing need for a school among the growing foreign population.

All students are instructed in English, and it follows the typical “American-style” curriculum. A large portion of the student body consists of international students, while the rest are Japanese students who speak English. Kuroki was spotted picking up Theia stylishly dressed in a grey coat and YSL purse.



Apparently Theia was in a previous school before, but she she was transferred over to ASIJ. Known for their tough curriculum the school operates as it would if it were in America, so the parents having a strong grasp of the English language is essential as well. This has some entertainment reporters at FRIDAY estimating that since Akanishi & Kuroki are raising their children bilingual perhaps they plan to immigrate to the U.S.



Akanishi has mainly focused his entertainment activities outside of Japan, where he has found success in China. Since giving birth to Theia in 2012 Kuroki has put her music career on hold, focusing more on acting. She gave birth to her second child, a son, in 2017.

1stly it's hard to believe Theia is already 6

And as much as I dislike Akanishi going back to his KAT-TUN days (even though back during his Johnny Junior days & before he left KAT-TUN for the 1st time he was still OK) , there's no deny that he wants what's his best for his kids

That said it's always a good thing for kids to start young in anything especially languages . I used to take for granted in wondering why I had to learn mother tongue when I was in school but not anymore

Akanishi Jin to change the contents of his tour due to lumbar spondylosis

It's been announced that Akanishi Jin will be changing the contents of his nationwide hall tour 'JIN AKANISHI THANK YOU TOUR 2019' that's scheduled to kick off in April.

The other day, Akanishi received an exam at the hospital for a backache where he was diagnosed with lumbar spondylosis. As a result, Akanishi met with his staff and decided it was difficult to give his best performance with the current tour structure and content.

While there will be no changes to the tour dates, the tour will be held without an actual appearance by Akanishi himself. He is currently working out the details, which he claims is something he's wanted to do in the near future.

Uh ok don't know how that's going to materialise but Akanishi might do what KinKi Kids's Tsuyoshi did in that be physically not at the venue but be somewhere else (maybe backstage) while performing for fans still ?

Suga Shikao will be featured on 29th March's episode of The Covers

Among the 4 songs that Suga will sing on the show is his own rendition of KAT-TUN's debut single Real Face

https://natalie.mu/music/news/322875

Personally I rather see Suga sing ARASHI's Aozora no Pedal on The Covers as all the while I always feel his rendition of Aozora no Pedal is way better than Real Face

Suga doesn't do rock music to begin with so :s

Kamenashi Kazuya to be in charge of the theme song for 'Strawberry Night Saga'

It's been revealed that Kamenashi Kazuya will be in charge of the theme song for Fuji TV drama 'Strawberry Night Saga' to premiere on April 11.

I thought Nakamaru photoshopped his face on Kame & Ueda on the fake CD cover but turns out it's the real deal

Nakamaru said for him to style his hair like Ueda was more harder than Kame & for obvious reasons xD
