Thanks!

He's a fan of Kpop (i think) so he might get some inspiration from Kpop. But then again, he's exploring because of his Solo like Koki did. And JE isn't big on doing mainstream pop but Idol pop.  Plus you'll learn that each boys have different genres they prefer to work with. And the "Kpop music" has been in Japan but not mainstream. If you listen to J-Urban/HipHop artists you'll love them since it resembles to Kpop.

Kame in KINEJUN

 

GOOD ROCKS critic/interviewer said his interaction during interview with Kame was close to perfect. When he warned just one minute was left for the interview, Kame simply replied "let's talk 3 minutes more" and they had a passionate talk.

 

Koki will be in Smile Songs Monday! in MBS radio at 10:00 p.m today // And Hiroshima FM! in 15/5 // And Radio Yamagata tomorrow.

•        Koki went on a radio program in Hokkaido to promote KAT-TUN's new single. During the introduction, he mentioned about what he remembered of Hokkaido from the previous concert tours, before moving on to talk about the single. Then, at the end of the segment, he said that KAT-TUN had been talking amongst themselves about doing another concert tour. He also mentioned that they had been sounding out their bosses (about the concert).
•  
• The theme of the show is "Smile" and Koki says he is always smiling. When they did Chain last year they were hoping to connect everyone's smiles and it did turn out to be a tour that brought smiles. They are thinking that it is about time for a tour this year. They hope that it will be a tour that brings great smiles too. Although it sounds a little 'idol-ish' but they are really touched when they see everyone's smiles. He thinks that this show (the show's aim is to bring smiles to the listeners) is wonderful since it is also his job to bring smiles to people so they are similar that way.

Kame will be on Anan mag released on 5/22.

Kamenashi Kazuya will guest in "Picaru no Teiri" (FujiTV) on May 22nd

 

Nakamaru and Ueda is currently at no. 2 in Wink Up Love Pair Contest. The contest will end on May 22 so please vote for them!

FLASH English Lyrics

 

I lost my heart　We can't go back to those days, but I remember them
Getting through the days　Unable to do anything　What I'm searching for is...

Still warm　The moment our eyes met　And right then
A spark flashed through my heart

Oh, it's new　Is it true?　I want to try touching you
You're shining Oh, baby　Take my hand and fly to the sky

Because you're here with me, I can face forward
You are my special star　Hold on tight　Don't ever let go
Because　Eh, eh… every day　Na, na… night & day
Oh, oh… Always　Ah, ah… I think of you

Like on a card, a calculative love...　It isn't just for me
Keeping pace with you, let's walk together, baby

If you go away, will you forget me? 　Tell me straight　Maybe I'll feel it
Right to my heart　Through my whole being　Tonight

Putting my arm around your shoulder, holding you close
There's nothing to be afraid of　It's a new world just for the two of us

If we're together, I can move ahead
You are my queen of hearts　Hold on tight　Don't ever let go
Because　Eh, eh… every day　Na, na… night & day
Oh, oh… Always　Ah, ah… I think of you

Let's share our pain as well　Even if you're worried, trust me
Washing our worries away　Forever more　I want you to stay here

Because you're here with me, I can face forward
You are my special star　Hold on tight　Don't ever let go
Because　Eh, eh… every day　Na, na… night & day
Oh, oh… Always　Ah, ah… I think of you

Lol, I like everyone's solo. It showcase their differences so much. So much different than as a whole group. Actually the group, their last single was more like Real Face, but instead of just instrumental bands they added electronic. I like how they're moving away from the 80's feel style and still retain their rockish/rebellion style for this group. It is also a sign that they're growing up.

Sadly I love Face2Face more than Junno's solo song. Both songs are ok but I love F2F more.

But I love Junno's PV that F2F PV. I don't really boxed MVs. I   Koki's hair in the f2f. I'm loving the guys' style there too. 

About Junno's PV did her directed and choreograph the PV/Dance? Or somebody else did? Oh and I really love how they do a dance break in the middle of the PV.

Don't care much for Kame (Since he's my least of all bias, sorry guys. But hey he gets love from his fans so...) but happy for the Koki and Ueda. I can't wait for Kame's anan though.      Can't wait for those yummy pics. 

 

 

^Those pics!        Except the last one. Why's Koki's face is so  .  

[someina]

still retain their rockish/rebellion style for this group. It is also a sign that they're growing up.

 

(Cuz we all know that Kattun is like the black sheep of all JE family groups.)

Now U are saying it! But despite of being "black sheeps" that's what I love from them, because they know my type,they know what they like.. and about growing up, they're getting better as I notice

 

 

Sadly I love Face2Face more than Junno's solo song. Both songs are ok but I love F2F more.

But I love Junno's PV than F2F PV. I'm loving the guys' style there too.

About Junno's PV did he directed and choreograph the PV/Dance? Or somebody else did? Oh and I really love how they do a dance break in the middle of the PV.

I though the same too.. But as I conclude, it is one of the best singles from them but still hoping for a better single than this,

 

Maybe someone else did direct d PV, Junno wrote the lyrics nd he did the cheography I think

 

Don't care much for Kame (Since he's my least of all bias, sorry guys ,,but happy for the Koki and Ueda. I can't wait for Kame's anan though. Can't wait for those yummy pics.

^Those pics! Except the last one. Why's Koki's face is so .

Even TV preview KT is doing it well hehehe

 

Yea, I don't care about Kame too, sometimes I'm bothered when there's too much.. but he has the most news so why not include to the thread? Anan is always exciting for me,, hope Junno or Koki can have anan too :p

[5/14 oreore event repo] some cute moments w/ Kase-san:

1) Kame: "Today when I met Kase-san backstage, Kase-san told me, 'this is not the Kamenashi-kun that I knew.' When I'm in KAT-TUN mode, I become cool & dark."

 

2)Kase-san: "In front of director Miki, he may be careful, but in his dressing room, Kamenashi-kun is totally not a professional. In front of me, he was walking around while carrying a toaster. When I gathered the courage to ask, 'what are you doing?', he said, 'I wanted to eat mochi.' and then he cooked/baked the mochi."

 

LOL

 

KAT-TUN NO:1 in HOT word

[sonny]

Yeah! KAT-TUN news! I can't wait for them to perform F2F. I love the direction they're going but then again I love everything they come out with. It suits them. I love punk/rock KAT-TUN the most. i love how they can surprise you with a ballad or pop song though. Expose was great and F2F! <3

 

I don't know how I feel about Junnos song. It suits him and he's always been a dancer. I like that he's showcasing a talent of his but I don't know about the song. I loved his previous one-Girls.
