4nin? No... I don't want a 4nin appearance at Music Station.

Also Kimi no Yume, Boku no Yume should be sang as 3nin. It's their song, and he isn't even in the original song. I would be so angry if they include Taguchi in that song.

 

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

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?

 

 

They will sing "Real Face" 4nin like a Taguchi's graduation song and then will sing "Kimi no Yume, Boku no Yume" 3nin.

Hi guys, I'm just passing by. 

I used to be a huge J-Pop fan and I remembered keeping up with Kat-tun and Arashi years ago (2010-2011) with my sister. 

She would scream like a fire siren whenever KAT-TUN released a new single. 

I watched the last 4nin performance on MS today and I teared up. 

It's so sad that things turned out this way. 

And Taguchi's catchphrase just made me feel even sadder.

Me too, I cried  

Hope they'll continue as 3. 

[choa501]

That MS performance left me without tears. It was so bittersweet. 

 

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 ;____;

 

I was incredibly happy when I read that. I feel like in recent months, I've come to see Ueda with a new found respect. People often dismiss him as cold and awkward but these past interviews I've been reading of him and his attitude throughout the whole ordeal with Junno have given me a completely different perspective of his actual persona.

 

I feel the same way. There are days when I'm okay and days when I feel like I won't get through this hiatus but I wanna see what the guys can do outside of the group, especially music-wise.

[girigiride]

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 :')

 

 

[echu2012]

Hah~ My recent vacation sure was the distraction that I badly needed so that I wouldn’t have to think of KAT-TUN too much. It worked great. lol

 

I haven’t read the recent JWeb entries, watched the last episode of Tametabi, their Music Station appearance (I watched their performance though), and that anime that featured a KAT-TUN look-alike characters. I also haven’t listened to the new Going theme song. I’ve read that it’s quite a catchy song.  I thank Twitter for all these info.   

 

Anyway, Ueda crying was too much for me. Kame's and Nakamaru’s eyes were also on the verge of crying. Their performance was very raw, and to be honest their cracked voices made the song much more meaningful and emotional for me.

 

I just hate that Nakamaru and Ueda shared verses, while Kame was able to sing whole verses. I guess I have to get used to this since Kame is basically the group’s face, and having equal singing lines is harder to achieve with 3nin KT than 4nin KT.     

 

Hmm, I remember seeing a couple of 6nin screenshots from Cartoon KAT-TUN where they all answered that Ueda is the one who cries easily, and Taguchi is the one who is the most mysterious out of all the members.

 

~~~ 

 

Today’s the first day of 3nin KAT-TUN, and they’re scheduled to appear in Buzz Rhythm tonight. Since it’s Friday today, I might be able to watch it.

I think, this concert will not only serve as their anniversary concert, but it will also be some sort of "closure" for now while giving fans some hope. 

 

The fact that they have a new song for Going serves as a hope for hyphens. 

 

 

~~~

 

It's Taguchi's first day as an ex-KAT-TUN member, and already, his picture has been posted on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/shapely_gym/status/715755341334577152

 

Will he join Twitter soon? 

I must admit that I'm going to follow his account (like Jin's and Koki's).

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.

Until now, I still can't understand how their hiatus would help the group. Sure, it's for individual projects, but it's always Kame who is given opportunities by J&A. 

 

I'm a Nakamaru fan, and I'm pretty satisfied with his solo works, especially since Shuichi seems to be a stable Sunday morning program, but Ueda's program is not something that everyone watches since it's sports-related. I really hope that Ueda gets to have something big soon. I'm not worried about Kame since he's always the favorite out of the remaining members. He even has a movie for 2017. 

 

 

~~~~~

 

Anyway, fan reports of the Nagoya concert are <3. 

Through this concert, I realized even more that the bond among the members of 4nin KAT-TUN is way stronger than 6nin and probably 5nin. I've read that Taguchi attended today's concert, and he entered the staff's entrance. They also made fun of Taguchi during the MC:

https://twitter.com/ohnoitssho/status/716600488439844865

 

I'm confident that even if he's out of KT, their friendship will remain.

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.

I’m keeping my fingers crossed towards new 3nin KT individual projects~ It’s nice to know though that they are aware of fan conflicts, but can’t really blame them. It’s the agency that gives them projects, and fans worry that they would be neglected in the long run. Big projects (like movies and dramas) should be given to both Nakamaru and Ueda, so that they have other projects other than variety shows. Oh well. Maybe they’ll announce something right after their tour.

 

Ohhh~ I do hope that the members would be invited to his wedding. However, I do think that as of now, they might just register their wedding quietly and just have the celebration some other time. Seeing his pictures on social media is a bit sudden for me though. lol

 

The Precious One performance during their debut concert was a beautiful thing to watch, and I think it’s really think that it’s the best Precious One performance of KT ever. Now, people have been saying that the 3nin version is very good and somewhat similar to their SCP performance. J&A, you better make hyphens all over the world see this concert!

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.

IKR!!! I was melting and literally struggling to keep a straight face throughout the day. It was so unexpected and so sexy. Have you seen those arms in the other pic? 

The best part of this Wink Up photoshoot is that Nakamaru didn't really expose anything (other than the arms and biceps), yet it turned out sexy~~~ Oh my. Just typing this made me realize that I've been grinning like an idiot. Hahaha. Waiting for HD pics, so I could store them on my phone. 

 

 

 

I'm positive that Taguchi will open an SNS account soon. Tired seeing his pics from other people's accounts. Bleh. I don't care anymore as long as he stays away from showbiz. I'd hate him if he starts acting and doing related stuff. He should let time heal the wound he inflicted on hyphens first.

 

Eh. Why Yorokubi no Uta? Such a cheerful song. It's very Taguchi though.  

 

 

Yeah. That performance. That 6nin performance is the best for me, followed by the SCP acoustic version. 

Oh, I also like the first 4nin performance in SCP right after Koki left. KAT-TUN weren't hosts yet that time.

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!

I like how it seems like they're having a private moment to themselves despite all the fans being there
