A Little Bit of Everything
It’s another post with four shorter posts combined into one to make one super entry!!!
First: I am officially going to a KAT-TUN concert! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! I’ve purchased tickets to the evening show in Ishikawa on July 20th, and even found someone to buy my extra ticket. To say that I’m excited is a humongous understatement.
Second: KAT-TUN is going to be releasing their second photobook on August 4th. Sweet. I’m not going to decide whether or not to buy it until I see previews. Here’s hoping for lots of shirtlessness and for Kame to stop trying to have facial hair before they shoot it. Seriously. His features are too delicate for that, and it makes him look homeless.
Third: The PV for Arashi’s new single “One Love” has been released. Since this single is the theme for the last installment of the ever-popular Hana Yori Dango, I imagine it will sell pretty well. Let’s take a look.

Very cute. The whole “painting come to life” motiff is cool, if a little CG heavy. Or is it a wedding cake come to life? They look like they’re supposed to be painted, but maybe they’re just supposed to be made of frosting or marzipan? Yummy. Nino’s wearing shorts again. It makes him look more like a little boy than he already does. Tee hee. Anyway, like so many other Arashi songs, it’s nice and sweet, if a teensy bit bland. It’s like frosting! Ohhh, maybe that’s the connection to the PV. Also, what’s with the Irish-sounding music at the beginning? First Milky Way, now Arashi. Is a bagpiping trend about to sweep Japan?
Fourth: It’s back to KAT-TUN for a couple of parting quotes about their new album taken from the Oricon Style. I don’t take any credit for translating these, though I tweaked just a couple of things into smoother English. The full translation can be found HERE
Kame: I like Nakamaru’s voice!
Jin: Me too!
Junno: Me too!
Kouki: Me, not so much!
Maru: Oye! *laughs*
Kouki: Someone has to say it right!?
Maru: In Nannen tattemo, there’s one part of the lyrics that goes “Jinjin, its hot.” and Akanishi sings the line before that. That’s why that “Jinjin” starts sounding like Akanishi Jin’s Jinjin and I had fun recording
The Interviewer asks who does the “chu” at the end of 12 o’clock. Hey! I asked the same question!
Junno: SEE THERE! WHO!?
*All five turn to stare at Akanishi*
Jin: NO! NOT ME!
Junno: But, you sang all the way to the very last
Jin: I DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEFINITELY didn’t do it! Really, it isn’t me!
Junno: It’s not me
Ueda: Not me either
Kouki: I didn’t too
Kame: I…. didn’t too
Junno: Kamenash-kun!?
Kame: I… can’t say for sure I didn’t do it… I think. But when did I do it?
Maru: AH I DID IT!
All 5: EH~~~~~~~!?
Maru: I lied.
Kouki: I thought it was Kame though
Jin: If it was going to be done, it would be one of the two of us (Akanishi and Kamenashi)
Kame: But doing a “Chu” is more like me-ish, but I don’t remember how I did it…
I like Jin’s reasoning. It’s like, well, if someone is going to do a kissy sound it’s got to be either me or Kame, and I know I didn’t do it so… And Kame accepts this logic like, don’t remember, but I guess it must have been me, huh? They all find the very idea that it could have been Nakamaru to be completely ridiculous. Ah KAT-TUN’s hierarchy.
Chuuuu,
~Celestia~
Congrats! :)))
I’m glad that you’ll make it! And I hope you’ll write here how was the experience because you’ll see the concert before me!
I am wondering if they allow bringing cameras at the concert so the fans could take pictures?
how and where did you get them? We’re trying to get tickets for the osaka show.
@Mary- Through ticket.co.jp. You need a Japanese address and cell phone and stuff. I used my friends since I don’t have one yet. Being able to read Japanese would also be very helpful.
thanks soooooooooooooo much!!
