Official KAT-TUN Thread

[echu2012]

I haven't watched it yet but I was so happy seeing screencaps of Kame's present, then I saw the news... I don't get why SCP chose to drop them, 3-nin KAT-TUN is fully capable of hosting the show too...

I just...This is so disappointing. Saddest most tragic 10th anniv ever... I would prefer them to keep SCP over Tametabi if I've to choose one. Pero had so much potential too, and I loved that ueda plays such a huge role in its creation :(
I hope they'll at least listen to the fans and let Nakamaru host the show...

I don't want to get my hopes high for Tametabi anymore.

 

Hmm, I also haven't watched it yet. I just saw vines and screencaps from Twitter. 

 

Well since they announced a hiatus (with a huge possibility of a quiet disbandment), I already expected that Gatsuun, TameTabi, and SCP will be discontinued. Heck, even their Carada cm was cut short earlier this year.

 

However, I agree with you that I prefer to have Shounen Club Premium than TameTabi. Poor Ueda who had been so passionate in making his Pero mascot a success. Why did they have to show all those support messages and item ideas for Pero if they're going to cancel it in the end? What a nice way to demotivate the viewers.

Please have Nakamaru be the host. T__T

 

About Tametabi, prior to their hiatus announcement, I thought that they'll continue with the show. Voice of heaven teased them a lot on how the members keep on decreasing, so I thought it'll be okay. But a hiatus is a hiatus.  

 

I'm afraid that the members might grow apart during this "recharging period" ... bigger reason why they might not come back as KAT-TUN.

Initially I was one of those optimistic fans who really believed what KT said in their jweb video, but its hard to stay like this since everyone keeps saying their hiatus its an unofficial disbandment...

 

I'm so frustrated at all these loss, its such a waste! If Nakamaru does get to be host, it would give me hope that there'll still be a KT after their hiatus.

 

Yea I agree. I thought a hiatus would be good for them but I take that back. Its ruining everything they have...

 

I'm not too worried about them growing apart as they weren't all that close when they first debuted too, and I think they would put the group before member relationships. It's if one of them suddenly decided they want to do something else with their life that I'm afraid of... 

 

Edit:

Are you guys leaning more towards their hiatus being an unofficial disbandment? Or take it as what KT says, just a recharging period?

I honestly don't know what to believe now, so I'll just accept whatever happens. 

What I do know is that I'll continue to support them when they come back (if they ever come back as a group).

 

It seems like KAT-TUN is back to zero these days. Tragedy is their lowest 1st week sales ever. I can only think that disappointed fans didn't support this single. I also read some tweets that refuse to support 3nin because their bias is Taguchi, and basically because they can't handle what most people say about their bias. For me though, it'll always be KAT-TUN before my bias. I also don't want to see Taguchi's face right now. I understand him and his decision, but KAT-TUN>>>>Taguchi.

 

SCP tonight is a throwback to all the episodes since day 1. Watching the show makes me feel like they're really saying goodbye for real.

Thanks, I was just about to watch it

 

Me too. I'll support them as long as they're still around.

 

Yea...Tragedy's sales are their lowest ever but no one says anything about it since we've bigger things to worry about... I wonder how well will Unlock do. Its KAT-TUN>bias for me too.

 

(Taguchi's hardcore fans probably shouldn't read this)

 

Sorry, but I'm really annoyed at how victimized some of the hardcore Taguchi fans are acting... Why won't they be honest and just say they won't support KT now that Taguchi is gone rather than saying the fandom is currently too violatile to be in? And who's the cause of that? Its totally reasonable for us to be angry at Taguchi tbh. Not everyone is Taguchi > KT

 

 

Okay I'm ready to watch SCP and face reality.

I'm glad though that KAT-TUN gets to have a KAT-TUNnish (xD) and awesome song as their last single before the indefinite hiatus.

I really like everything about Unlock, both the song and the PV are nice. I question them calling this 'hard rock' though xD

 

I'm gonna miss their releases :(

 

Oh, and did you read snippets of Ueda's 10K interview? ;-;

[girigiride]

Tametabi's last episode is on 25th March?

And Nakamaru's gonna take over Taguchi in Tokoro-san no Nippon no deban!

I just read the news. Ugh, does this mean that Nakamaru's chance to take over SCP is now over? Because if that happens, Nakamaru will have 3 shows already. 

 

Now, I'm crossing my fingers that Ueda gets to keep SCP (though it'll be impossible, I think.). Why do I feel like it'll go to Hey Say Jump though? HSJ's push is no joke, so I'll not be surprised if this happens. >_>

 

 

 

About the Ueda's 10K~ 

Yes! I've read those snippets. As usual, these 10K interviews are tear jerkers. Taguchi's is the only one that I don't like very much. xD

Next is Kame!

 

 

Btw, have you seen raws of Ueda's 10K? I have a copy of Nakamaru's and Taguchi's interviews, but I haven't seen Ueda's yet.

I was hoping Ueda would take over Taguchi's show but Nakamaru is good too!

 

SCP...I would be happy with either Nakamaru or Ueda, or them together (though I think its pretty impossible too).

 

Either HSJ or NEWS maybe :(

 

Nope haven't seen Ueda's either!

Waaa... Let's brace ourselves for news about Gatsuun, the remaining KAT-TUN-related show.

Hmmmm, he's the most popular member after all...

[Artemida]

Wow

It's really? Kame's solo debut? Oo"

 

I want to solo debut of Ueda. He has really good solo songs

Its just a rumour for now!

 

Though I do think they're testing the waters for Kame since Shuji to Akira appeared during JCD and now the Nobuta interactions in his drama.

 

Yes for Ueda solo debut! I want an album of songs he composed himself.

 

 

[girigiride]

Kame's birthday this year is pretty intense. Is it cause he's 30? My TL is filled with pictures of cakes and celebrations for him throughout the day. It seems more this year.

Maybe because most of the people you follow on Twitter have Kame as their ichiban? 

 

or it could also be that the general fandom is emotional with everything KAT-TUN right now. 

 

 

 

Also, agree about an Ueda solo debut! *grooves to Art of Life*

I didn't realise Unlock is releasing so soon! And their lives start 3 days after Taguchi leaves.

 

Can we fast forward to the end of their hiatus? ;^;
