I like the concept of the PV although I'm slightly not into the song as it's very Anime ish

But it wouldn't be something I will outright dislike

Looking forward to see/hear GREATEST JOURNEY next

Taguchi Junnosuke To Leave KAT-TUN In March

KAT-TUN member Taguchi Junnosuke will be leaving the group at the end of March, the group's agency Johnny's & Associates has revealed.

On November 24, Taguchi announced his decision to leave the group this spring. An exact date for his departure was not set at the time.

On March 22, 2006, KAT-TUN released its debut single "Real Face". This year will mark the group's 10th anniversary.

KAT-TUN will be going on a 10th anniversary tour starting on March 22. Only the 3 group members staying with the group, Kamenashi Kazuya , Nakamaru Yuichi and Ueda Tatsuya will participate in the tour.

Taguchi will not be participating in KAT-TUN's upcoming tour. Although he is still featured in the group's upcoming single "UNLOCK", there are currently no plans to hold any future live performances or events with all 4 members.

A reason behind Taguchi's decision to leave the group was never given. When asked to explain, the idol stated, "I am unable to say anything."

Atsukunare is a very comical PV , kinds of reminds me of those amusing Chinese New Year movies with rather bad CG effects LOL

On the other hand , the concept for the TRAGEDY PV is great

KAT-TUN to enter into temporary hiatus after Dome Tour on May 1

It was announced that KAT-TUN will be entering a “re-charging” period after their Tokyo Dome concert on May 1. Members Kamenashi Kazuya, Ueda Tatsuya and Nakamaru Yuichi made the announcement via a video published at Jweb.

In the video message, Kamenashi stated that after May 1, they will be entering a charging period as a group. It was also emphasised that it is not a disbandment but a “recharging” period.

The group released their new single TRAGEDY on Feb 10, their next single UNLOCK will be released on March 2 and their Best of Album “KAT-TUN 10th Anniversary BEST 10Ks” has been announced (released date TBA).

It was previously announced that Taguchi Junnosuke will leave the group at the end of March and the three remaining members will hold their first 3-Dome Tour “KAT-TUN 10th Anniversary LIVE TOUR 10Ks” starting at Nagoya Dome on April 3 and ending at Tokyo Dome on May 1.

The messages from the members, as posted in Jweb, can be found below.



Kamenashi Kazuya

As of May 1st, we, KAT-TUN, will be entering a period in which to charge our batteries! It has been ten years since we set sail on this ship called KAT-TUN.
All the while we tossed about various waves, we have truly moved forward alongside our many friends. We are so grateful.
We have discussed that, beyond this point, we need to clearly pick out a path and head into the future as individuals.

Each of us steadily carries this group called KAT-TUN on his shoulders. Each of us gives it strength. Devoting time. That’s what KAT-TUN needs right now. One year later, or two years later. When KAT-TUN sets sail again, in order for us to be reliable, and in order for many people to continue anxiously awaiting our new departure, I would like to face this as KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya .

“10Ks”.

I want to get together with everyone one more time and deepen our bond..
So…
Here’s to meeting up for our rendezvous..
On this ship called KAT-TUN!!
Let’s go!!

Ueda Tatsuya

Upon talking things over between the three of us, we, KAT-TUN, have decided to enter a time in which to recharge our batteries.
Our 10th anniversary dome tour will mark our break.
We have taken a good, long look at this group called KAT-TUN.
We feel that, during this recharge period, we want to rise to the next level as individuals, and when the time is ripe, to come together and stand before you again as the group KAT-TUN. That’s how we feel.
Of course, even as we immerse ourselves in our individual activities, I would like to treasure my bond with all of KAT-TUN’s fans, as well as other members.
We will work hard so that we can come together again as soon as possible and make a fresh start. It’s a promise!
Everyone, please wait for us!
As we recharge, and beyond that as well..
I hope all of you will support us!!

Nakamaru Yuichi

To all of our fans.
With KAT-TUN’s concert tour this year as a turning point, we have decided to focus on solo activities for a set amount of time and suspend our group activities. When we considered the group’s current situation and how we should proceed from here on, we came to the conclusion that each member needs to grow individually. We think that, as a group, this is a time for us to “recharge our batteries”, a time we need in order to aim for the group image we consider ideal. I’m sorry that we’re telling you this in such a unilateral way, but I hope that all of you, who’ve always supported our group, will understand our decision. We hope for your ongoing support, as always, for the three of us. Nakamaru Yuichi .

Oh boy guess I have to be mentally prepared if KAT-TUN chose to disband during their hiatus ._.

As much as I support them , I can't imagine them to continue as a trio . It's possible but it will be tough

KAT-TUN to go on temporary hiatus

KAT-TUN have announced that they will go on temporary hiatus starting in May.

This announcement was made on February 13 via a video message by Kamenashi Kazuya, Ueda Tatsuya and Nakamaru Yuichi. They will go on hiatus after wrapping up their 10th anniversary dome tour "KAT-TUN 10TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR 10Ks!" on May 1 at Tokyo Dome.

Ueda explained that the group will not be breaking up, but this will serve as a "recharging period". Kamenashi added, "We want to use this time for KAT-TUN's future." Nakamaru also stated, "We wanted to make this announcement ourselves so that there would be no misunderstandings."

On their first tour without Taguchi Junnosuke, Kamenashi commented, "By gathering here with everyone, I want to reaffirm and deepen our ties, and break a new start into our 11th year. So please come, by all means." He ended the video message with, "To coincide the tour, we will release our new album, so please pick one up to celebrate our 10th years together."
