the PV looks really nice! i really like the different settings they've shot at.

2011.05.16 Hey!Hey!Hey!
KAT-TUN (tentative)

"Recording for Hey!Hey!Hey! was today (2011.05.01). According to reports KAT-TUN sang WHITE twice, and PERFECT once. PERFECT was for the fans there and so will probably not be shown on TV."

[KarenPang]

Why doesn’t Kazuya Kamenashi want to join twitter or start a blog? (translation)

MAQUIA 2011 June edition (went on sale April 23 2011)

As the special baseball supporter, KAT-TUN’s Kazuya Kamenashi gives a fan’s point-of-view of baseball during Nihon TV’s Tokyo Giants matches, “Dramatic Game 1844″. But the man at the centre of attention laughs it off.

“After I started this job (in the entertainment industry), now I can’t go outside without wearing sunglasses. I wonder why, it’s not like people have caught me and I’ve been in danger many times,” he said.

He explained things to us a bit more.

“I think it’s probably because at work I want to be seen as much as anyone else, but I don’t want people to see what I look like from day to day. I hardly go to places like parties and clubs where there are lots of people and I try to avoid meeting people who can’t be honest with me. These days so many celebrities have blogs or they’re on twitter. They use words and photos to talk about what they’re doing every day in detail, but I don’t get it.

“I think that if someone working in the entertainment industry talks too much about what they do in their private life, isn’t that like a magician telling people how their trick works before they do it? (laughs) Having said that, I don’t think anyone’s lying. I don’t think they’re deliberately trying to keep a secret or creating their own character.

“To put it simply, I’m happy to talk about my views on relationships, but I wouldn’t talk about the relationships I’ve been in up to now. I don’t think I need to talk about it. But I don’t have any clear lines drawn between what I can and can’t talk about because sometimes I think it’s important to talk about your own experience when you want to get a real message across.”

Kamenashi-san went on to talk about the time he thought, “what’s my secret?”. He said during a run at night to Tokyo Tower, he had looked up to see the moon covered up by clouds.

“There’s something beautiful about how it’s hidden. Maybe people and clouds are beautiful because you can’t see everything,” he said.

oh Kame , all I can say's that my respect level towards you has just gone up by a lot <3

it's great that he keeps his public & private lives separate from each other , that should be the way

ah the last paragraph for this is my fave *_* why he sounds like AKIHIDE there D: D: D:

I hope Kame makes twitter account?
*I know someone who basically works with KAT-TUN and she already gave my message to 上田竜也 about making official Twitter account and he already had one but deleted it

[Beauty4123]

so the account i'm following is DEFINATELY 200% fake then, LOL. kame is really amazing in that little interview. i respect him lots more, too!

instead of focusing on twitter, kame has more things to do, i'm sure. like....shooting a new drama? LOL. i really want a new drama from kame!
