Taguchi Junnosuke uploads video message to YouTube

Taguchi Junnosuke (ex. KAT-TUN) has uploaded a video message on YouTube.

In the video, Taguchi promotes his first solo single "Hero" (released on November 2), saying, "It is filled with my feelings, so please listen to it." He also tells fans to look forward to his fan club event to be held later this month as well as upcoming web contents exclusive to fan club members.

Taguchi collaborated with singer-songwriter NAO in writing "Hero." It was released in three different versions: Limited Edition A, Limited Edition B, and Regular Edition. Each type comes with a different remix of "Hero."

Taguchi announced his withdrawal from KAT-TUN during the live broadcast of "Best Artist 2015" last November. This March, he left both the group and Johnny's Entertainment. He resumed his activities in September announcing the release of his first single "Hero" in November.

JINTAKA Reunites During Akanishi Jin Concert

JINTAKA, a short-lived unit group consisting of Akanishi Jin and Yamada Takayuki , made yet another short-lived stint together during Akanishi's most recent concert.

On November 10, Akanishi held a concert at Makuhari Messe Hall in Chiba, as part of his "JIN AKANISHI LIVE TOUR 2016 ~Audio Fashion Special~" tour. It was at this concert that the unit made a surprise revival.

During the 2nd half of the concert, a monitor displayed the words "one night only reunion" in Japanese. Yamada made his way on stage, and JINTAKA was whole once again. The duo performed its song "Choo Choo Station" to the delight of the screaming audience of 7,000.

Although the crowd reacted positively, JINTAKA's reunion was a one-time thing for Akanishi's final concert of the year.

JINTAKA formed in August of 2016. The group disbanded after 2 months in October due to "differing opinions" about what kind of music to do.

JINTAKA make a comeback at Akanishi Jin's one-man live



On November 9, Akanishi Jin held a one-man live titled "JIN AKANISHI LIVE TOUR 2016 ～Audio Fashion Special～ in MAKUHARI" at Makuhari Event Hall.

This was the encore to Akanishi's nationwide tour held to commemorate the release of his latest album "Audio Fashion." About 7,000 fans gathered at the venue on this day.

The concert kicked off with an opening movie featuring Akanishi curled up in a ball, naked. He then appeared on stage, dressed, and started performing "Only Human." During the first half of the show, he played the guitar while singing "Eat Ya Heart Out," played the keyboard to "Can't Get Enough," and showed a brilliant performance of "Mi Amor" with laser lights beaming across the stage.



After singing a medley of "SUMMER LOVING～Good Time～Hey What's Up?" with fans, Akanishi greeted, "It's my last live of the year, so please enjoy it without any regrets." Pole dancers took the stage as he sang his ballad "Body Talk." He joked, "I want to watch the pole dance, so I will sing with my back faced towards everyone."

Towards the end of the live, the screen flashed "reuniting for one night only," and was immediately followed by an appearance by JINTAKA made up of Akanishi and actor Yamada Takayuki. After making their debut with their single "Choo Choo SHITAIN" in September, the unit disbanded during a release event in October due to differences in their directivity. Akanishi introduced his fellow member, saying, "Takayuki Yamada!" to which Yamada responded, "I came from Spain." It appears Yamada came directly to the live after finishing his work in Spain. As the crowd broke out in loud cheers, JINTAKA performed their "Choo Choo SHITAIN."

After Yamada left the stage, Akanishi dropped "Opaque" and "OohLaLa" while using a projection mapping technique. He also enchanted the crowd with an aggressive dance performance with dancers during his dance medley "Baila～Temporary Love～Mami Loca～Tell Me Where." His last song was a ballad called "Episode."

Akanishi made his way on stage again for a finale, wrapping up with three songs "TGC," "Miss California," and "Lucky."

Akanishi Jin places 31st on the 'World's Most Handsome Face' ranking

TC Candler recently released its '100 Most Handsome Faces' ranking for 2016. From Japan, Akanishi Jin placed 31st, breaking his previous record.

In the past, Akanishi has ranked 83rd (2013), 52nd (2014), and 34th (2015). Besides Akanishi, Taiwanese-Japanese actor Kaneshiro Takeshi is the only other person of Japanese descent to make the list.

In first place was Dutch actor Michiel Huisman followed by BIGBANG's SOL (Taeyang) and Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård.

TC Candler started this ranking back in 2013, and both Akanishi and Kaneshiro have placed every year so far.

It's a pity KAT-TUN are not scheduled to take part in today's Johnny's Countdown 2016-2017

Maybe Shuuji to Akira will reunite once more ? When that happened last year , it was a big highlight for sure

Akanishi Jin to star in Chinese drama based on Sun Wukong

Actor and singer Akanishi Jin is set to appear in a Chinese drama based off of the popular mythical figure Sun Wukong, titled “The Legends of Monkey King”. The plot revolves around a mortal man (played by Hong Kong actor Raymond Lam) who somehow time-travels in the past and finds himself as the famous Sun Wukong. Unwilling to accept this strange fate he sets out to understand why this has happened to him, and restore things back to normal.

Akanishi will be playing the role of “Erlang Shen”, a god who is one of the fiercest warriors in the land. The exact role “Erlang Shen” will play in this interpretation of the Monkey King hasn’t been revealed yet, but it’s been suggested that it will largely have something to do with his sister the “Holy Mother” (played by Jiang Meng Jie) who is also a main character. In traditional Chinese folklore “Erang Shen” is furious that his sister married a mortal, after giving birth he kidnaps her and keeps her hidden in the “sacred mountains”. She’s eventually rescued by her son.

Filming for “The Legends of Monkey King” will last for 5 months, 45 episodes are scheduled to be released via the streaming video service “youku”. The last time Jin was a main cast-member in a drama was nearly 10 years ago, where he played “Miroku Shochikubai” in NTV’s “Yukan Club”. Pictures from the press conference can be seen below!

Ok never thought Akanishi would be playing Erlang Shen ie. the 3rd eye god , hopefully his portrayal will be good

I'm still Kame loyal

[Uknow!]

Kame ♥ I miss KAT-TUN so much... This week I'm listening their discography again and again.

Taguchi's single 'HERO' was tacky but I find myself liking it a lot lol

[KarenPang]

Johnny Shop Osaka was playing the fans' selection disc of their 10th anniversary album when I went

For KAT-TUN ,they sold shop photos from TRAGEDY til their 10th anniversary tour

Taguchi is not part of J&A anymore but was still weird not seeing his pics sold especially since he was still around when TRAGEDY & UNLOCK were released
