6 News Blips
Is anyone actually coming here for news? I have my doubts, but there have been a few happenings worthy of note.
First, Uebo is going to have his own solo concert! Congrats to him for being the first KAT-TUN member to do one. Apparently all of the songs are going to be composed by Ueda himself. Impressive!
Second, it’s old news, but I never mentioned it: Nakamaru will be having his own solo stage show. Congrats to him too! That’s two of the “forgotten” KAT-TUN members getting individual recognition, two to go. If we’re really going in reverse KAT-TUN order, Koki should be next.
Third, Arashi’s next single “Truth” has been announced with a release date of August 27th. It’ll be the theme to Ohno’s new drama. That’s three singles and an album already for Arashi in just over half a year. I wonder if they’ll end up making it four for the year? Three seems to be the usual quota for the higher profile Johnny’s groups, but Arashi looks to be getting a big push this year, so we’ll see.
Fourth, is not news, but just to say that I’m feeling a tiny bit stressed about going to this KAT-TUN concert. I’m just worried that some of the fans could be unfriendly to a JE concert “newbie” like me. I heard some complaints in the fan communities about newbies at the recent Arashi concerts who didn’t even know the appropriate chants and hand gestures to go with the songs. The hardcore fans were practically accusing them of gravely insulting Arashi with their ignorance of the dances and other concert etiquette. I know the movements that go with the chorus of Real Face and that one swirly part of Harukana Yakusoku, but that’s it. Eep. I don’t want to piss anyone off…
Fifth: A tiny picture in the corner of an article about Oh-chan’s new drama. It was taken on-set. I love it when they take photos like this, and I admit to being a bit more obsessed with these two than usual lately.
And Sixth: If you haven’t read the post ahead of this, you should, because it’s much better than this one.
