KAT-TUN is back! And with a new song! https://twitter.com/plastictears23/status/947493255792300037

I need the DVD so bad. Its gonna last me through their hiatus Triple encore + Peacefuldays!! I hope fans managed to make them feel appreciated! They started calling for KAT-TUN even before the concert started I like how it seems like they're having a private moment to themselves despite all the fans being there (source:http://mango-k.tumblr.com/post/143723442439)

Last day of KAT-TUN activities today. It's gonna hit everyone hard Anyway seems like plenty of fanboys and celebs went for their concerts!

This video reached 2 million :D

Yessss. And I like how he just lies there so casually when receiving a bottle of beer. I think its the poses that's getting to me *___* He suits a more masculine image. Also how long has it been since he last wore earrings? I always like it when Nakamaru (and Taguchi) roll up their sleeves to their elbows! Oh I found the interview! http://daphuni.livejournal.com/15299.html Precious One is the song that got me into KAT-TUN haha xD

Yes I agree, I hope so too! Anyway, today Nakamaru caused quite a stir with his magazine shoot and first appearance on Nippon no Deban!! I died a lil. Sorry but when Nakamaru does anything remotely sexually aggressive, it makes me feel things. I need more omg *___* Its like everyday a new Taguchi picture pops up! At first I'm like "isn't it a little too soon?", but then fans don't seem to mind much so I'm okay with it too. IIRC a long time ago Taguchi said he wants Yorokobi no Uta played during his wedding? He seems the most likely out of all of members to invite KT to his wedding. The one Nakamaru cried in? xD My favorite performances of Precious One are the Katsumode and SCP ones.

I believe that's what Kame wants to address. I think he doesn't want to be the only one who gets all these solo activities that only serve to make the proportion of his fanbase larger than the other members. He wants Ueda and Nakamaru to do more activities outside KT too to build their fanbases. Whether they're promoted actively during the hiatus would require not only J&A marketing them and giving them opportunities but also how Nakamaru and Ueda market themselves. And I feel like Ueda has been trying to do that. 4-nin bonds are definitely the strongest! Let the teasing of Taguchi never stop!! I was hoping to see some pics of him attending the concert since quite a few pics of his have already been uploaded to social media lol. Will he invite KT to his wedding? I heard the Precious One performance is really emotional. I also like how Ueda kinda addressed this existing divide between many Kame fans and Ueda and Nakamaru fans by asking his and Nakamaru's fans to support Kame's solo activities. He really understands what's going on and the things he says recently are just very reassuring.

Hope you enjoyed your vacation~ Ya the verse distribution in that song is one of the many things I don't like about the song... Speaking about Kame being the face of KT, it seems like this is what brought on the hiatus though. Which is why I think whether this hiatus works out is largely dependent on whether Ueda and Nakamaru can gain a larger fanbase from their individual activities. It seems like Kame wants to regroup as 3 individuals only when all of them make it big on their own. "what's even more necessary is for each of us to establish our own roles in the outside world." This seems too idealistic to me... But for Nakamaru's, Ueda's and KAT-TUN's sake, I hope their solo activities do give them a boost. Idk, I get a feel that they want to enter their hiatus quickly to sort things out. Its just what I feel though. J&A and Taguchi are sure quick in establishing KT's 3-nin status lol. I used to follow Jin's and Koki's twitter but there was a point recently where I was just so frustrated and done with anything that's not 3-nin that I unfollowed them... I think I'll follow all three of them again if Taguchi joins Twitter.

Hm I was just ranting but does anyone else think KT don't seem to look forward to this concert? I feel like they're just dragging themselves through this con for the sake of hyphens wanting a 10th anniv celebration rather than for themselves? Its understandable since their initial plans and excitement are probably ruined. Its just what I feel when reading their jwebs since their album release. Yea, I enjoyed reading his interview a lot. Because he's so honest, it makes him feel like a trustworthy person. And him crying on MS seemed to gain him quite a few fans lol. I also liked how their appearance in this anime? showed him in a new light. Pretty accurate about how most people perceive Ueda but he's actually really kind and considerate :')

Who else died here? Source: http://aaaooollll.tumblr.com/post/141666449021

I hope its 3-nin too... We get to hear Brand New Stage so quickly! I think I'm liking it more than Atsuku Nare Edit: Found better links xD Not as good quality but at least not fragmented.

Reminds me of what Ueda said about the 6 of them being able to meet anytime if they want! I keep switching between hiatus is a good idea and hiatus is a bad idea especially after reading Kame's interview. It would be good if the hiatus help filter out fans who keep talking about 6-nin KT IMO. I wonder if KT received pressure to disband too... From the looks of things, it doesn't seem like it and for that I'm kinda grateful J&A still wants to support this group? Anyway, new song for KAT-TUN! And 4-nin's final appearance on Music Station tonight ;-; I wonder if Kimi no Yume, Boku no Yume will be performed as 3-nin? Edit: And last Tametabi tonight too ;____;

Aww Koki~ How come the fandom seems to hate Koki more? Personally I don't really have any hard feelings towards those who left but I'm just curious why fans seem to be more accepting of Jin than Koki? I briefly skimmed through the Chinese translation. Didn't really read it in detail, but I feel that Kame's one is less emotional? Its really direct and focuses more on future plans and explanations rather than how he feels about the situation. Someone posted a rough translation of the first part here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sofj8s This part kinda 'disturbed' me --Then hyphens should be able to set their hearts at ease, and wait for the day of KAT-TUN’s return? K: Nnn, perhaps it should be a little different from “waitingâ€. If there are those who only welcome and support group activities, then yes, they’ll have to wait. LOL YES NAKAMARU. Now I think he's the troll-est, most 'S' in the group. He must be smirking while scrolling through his private Twitter account xDD I think about their loss of SCP at least once everyday tbh.

Happy 10th Anniversary KAT-TUN!! Even Jin tweeted his congrats~ https://twitter.com/Jin_Akanishi/status/711946718896455680

I'm not too sure, but I think Kame was the only one who wanted the hiatus/recharge. I was reading the Chinese translation of his 10K interview and he was saying how grateful he was that the agency allowed them to have a hiatus despite this not being a common practice in J&A. Nakamaru also said he didn't want a hiatus, and its kinda implied that Ueda felt like he owed it to Kame, so I guess its really just Kame who wanted this. I really don't agree with his decision, but I guess he must have raised some really good points to convince the other members and J&A to give them this hiatus... I can't blame him for this, but I really don't think its the best option... But if this is indeed true, I guess its a relief that the agency didn't suggest it? So disbandment is less likely if this is the case. SCP... Kame sounded like he was crying when they did the "We're KAT-TUN" and indeed he did http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/mw690/47643b51gw1f22ltaxx83g20b10a51kz.gif http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/mw690/47643b51gw1f22lt7gkghg20b408vnpd.gif I saw comments that Ueda cried too but I haven't seen any gifs of that yet. The two most 'stoic' ones crying... Its painful to see them like this, and if they (Kame) wanted a break I really can't fault them/him.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cd86J4wUsAIYY1p.jpg List of goods for KAT-TUN's 10Ks concert which includes an USB phone recharger!! Don't we just love their humour

I'm really surprised Ultimate Wheels and White made your list, and that Rescue would be number 1. I like Ultimate Wheels but its sadly mostly forgotten by the fans (and KAT-TUN themselves prob). For me, I would replace these 3 songs with Unlock, Bokura no Machi de, and either Keep the Faith or Yorokobi no Uta. I feel like KAT-TUN generally had better A-sides when they were 6. Can't say the same for their B-sides though. Its highly likely its marriage and family. I mean she's already 36? If they want children, they really need to have them soon. I agree about the J&A not making it easier for idols to get married, especially when they're already above 30. I haven't got over their loss of SCP. Its such a waste. They do have a lot of potential especially during live performances. I just hope they'll still have the chance to express it. J&A was pretty lazy with KAT-TUN up until last year when they decided to give SCP and Tametabi to them. I think its to give them momentum and to prepare for their 10th anniversary. Its just unfortunate this has to happen to them again. Reading Nakamaru's interview made me really frustrated they've to keep pausing and restarting. I feel so bad for the remaining members. J&A better not give us some half-assed promotion for Ueda. Oh and Kame and Ueda looked so upset after watching their Rock medley (and before their individual comments), I feel really angry on their behalf. Not at Taguchi, just at how things ended up.

No problem~ Anyway, I'm a little annoyed the 10Ks CM focuses so much on 6-nin. Also according to Nakamaru's jweb, he finally gave Kame his illustration as his birthday gift! I thought it was really cute. Wanna see a picture of it.

Thanks for the links! I'm watching this one too. With breaks in between parts lol. Besides 10Ks tour and that 'special bangumi', thats it I guess. Sorry I'm not too sure. It's been a while since I last saw his illustrations, so I guess not? Yes, 3-nin please. Looking at their 10Ks poster, I think they can still make it as 3. I'm not worried about whether they've the ability to continue as 3, but rather whether they're going to continue in the first place >.<

I'm watching it now. Haven't got to see Kame cry yet hah... I wonder what else is left for KT. Edit: Taguch's "Iriguchi, Deguchi, Taguchi deshita" last night killed me a little.

I don't know... I don't want to entertain the thought of there being no more KAT-TUN... Have you watched this ep? I just saw links.

Omg I didn't know Taguchi became the second most popular member! I always thought it was Nakamaru! Guess it makes sense since I did see a lot of Japanese commenting about Taguchi. They all look really cool! The group ones are awesome too!! Yea Ueda totally pulls this off well. These posters also kinda remind me of Robamaru being bodyguards haha xD Who thought it was a good idea to make Kame's shades totally white? xDD Oh I just saw on twitter today that Kame's program is not a regular one! 8 eps broadcasted to Kanto only. Not gonna expect anything or get my hopes up for SCP... But please give me a miracle Their rock collab will be so bittersweet I think Nakamaru (and hopefully Ueda) will get a radio show eventually. Not just Kame, the other members have always had their own radio shows too so hopefully this continues.

Taguchi shines the most live since his harmonization is more obvious then. I remember during one of his jwebs he said he just harmonizes almost automatically. Probably because he does it so much for KAT-TUN! I'm kinda relieved he said he wasn't unhappy with his position in KAT-TUN in his 10k interview. Please growl more, Nakamaru! Omg, Nakamaru looks so cool in their 10Ks poster!! They all look cool but I saw pics of his poster first and it had a great impact xD Haha I love watching Kameda make Arigatou cause Ueda was being all Boss and Kame's just unusually obedient~ Yes yes thats the video! *cringes* Kame is the MC for a new sports program!! I'm so happy for any solo works they've right now cause isn't that the whole point of the hiatus in the first place? Now Nakamaru and Kame are hosts/MC for 2 regular programs~ I just need some announcement for Ueda!!! I've a feeling its gonna come soon (It better) <.< Edit: Losing Gatsun is expected but I don't see why Nakamaru can't host the radio himself. Or with Ueda... We've one good thing now we're lost another one :(

I know Taguchi went for vocal and dance lessons (what a wasteeee). I think everyone in KT is the 'best singer' in different ways. Taguchi's voice might not be everyone's cup of tea, but technique-wise, he's the best! His harmonization is the best~ Whereas for Nakamaru, I like his voice the most because its very clear and soothing but maybe because of his beat-boxing, his live singing can come off choppy. Kame is kinda inconsistent live, but I think he performs the best because he really knows how to pour different types of emotion in different songs. I used to think Ueda is the most stable when singing live (along with Taguchi), but now I think Ueda improved a lot though when it comes to performing a song! His Ray performance in 9uarter *____* Speaking of 6-nin, I remember akame sounded so off in their performance of Your Side. It's kinda painful to watch xD
