Requests

Published by celestia at 11:02 pm under downloads, ramblings

Here’s a whole slew of KAT-TUN downloads that were requested. Also, a friendly reminder that once these links die, I will not be fixing them. Songs will be reuploaded only by specific request, and not too many at once, please.

It was also asked that I talk a bit about KAT-TUN’s inter-group relationship. Well, all I have to offer is my opinions based on what I’ve read and observed, but here’s my take on things. First of all, KAT-TUN is not Arashi. Arashi routinely describe each other as family. KAT-TUN routinely describe eachother as… coworkers, because mostly, that’s all they are. They freely admit that they used to fight a lot when the group was first formed, and while their inter-group relationship has certainly improved since then, they are not, nor will they ever be, “bestest friends”. Some members are closer and more likely to hang out together or chat outside of work than others, but it seems that in all cases the individual members’ close friends lie outside the group. One point of special interest and much speculation is the relationship between Kamenashi and Akanishi. What we know is that they were quite close during their Junior days but had some sort of falling out shortly before KAT-TUN debuted. Now, as far as I can tell, they have an off and on sort of friendship, oscillating between not being on speaking terms and casual friendship. There are some who believe that they are hiding a romantic relationship, but in my opinion, no offense intended, that’s utter bull shit. I’d like it to be true as much as the next fangirl, but wanting something to be true doesn’t make it so, and the evidence is overwhelmingly against it.

I guess the point is, I wouldn’t worry too much about KAT-TUN’s group dynamics. Arashi’s close friendship is one of their defining features, and that’s great for them. In KAT-TUN’s case, it’s not so important, and that’s fine too. There are a lot of other things to enjoy about KAT-TUN even if they don’t like to hold hands and have slumber parties.

Helpful?

    Ok…I guess you’re right, and we can’t force people to be what they’re not. Just wishful thinking, and a concern that if they’re not real friends, then it would be that much easier for the group to fall apart over ego issues. would be such a waste…oh, and thanks for the downloads! :)

    I’ve just stumbled upon your blog and I really love KAT-TUN as well! :D It always bothered me that AKame are not like…friends anymore, and it’s kinda sad since they were really close during their junior days :(

    Thanks for the download links!
    Is it possible for you to upload Will Be Alright on to Mediafire since that seems to be the only file hosting site that actually allows me to download anything from it…?
    Onegaishimasu!
