witchann2Konbanwa, mina-san! ^^/
It has been a long time since I started to write this post (it was in August, I think…). It somehow stuck in my computer only half-prepared and I just wasn´t able to finish it (from many many reasons). But finally! I could do it, and I´m proud of myself. ^^´
Spin-chan (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
spinelie), who now belongs to my ´thanks-LJ-for-letting-me-know-about-these-Hyphens´ Friends, was at the beginning of this idea, as she made this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFIta22AhOs) lovely video about her KAT-TUN Top 10…
I was thinking about doing something like this when the Anniversary Album was released and I´ve found out that Hyphens chose some songs, which I would not include into the Best OF (as Bounce Girl, or Shunkanshuuto) myself. It made me wonder if I´m able to do some selection at all. Because at first, when I tried to think about my favorite songs, I realized there would be at least Top 30 chart from them. I thought that I´m just not able to do it, because… you know… I love all their songs. XD
But following Spin-chan´s example, I decided to be harsh on myself and chose "really" only ten. Though, I cheated a little in the end…
I couldn´t do only one chart, so there are TWO of them. The first one includes only 6-nin songs and the second chart is for 5- and 4-nin songs.
I love KAT-TUN music in general and many of their songs are really… special for me, even though I do not consider them to be especially great as comes to music or lyrics, so I wasn´t able to choose a proper order for them. Therefore, they´re aligned according to the date of release or the sequence at the album. So, it doesn´t mean that REAL FACE mentioned as the first is my favorite. XD
Also, I´d like to mention that NO solos and NO special compilations (as Kizuna, Butterfly or Monster Night) are considered in those charts. I´d have to make a third one for those. XD
Let me know what your favorite KAT-TUN songs are, if you like, or make a chart on your own. It was not easy(IT WAS HELL TO PICK SO FEW, DAMN IT), but it was really a fun to do it. And it´s a good reminder of everything what our dear Captains accomplished so far.
Keep waiting for their comeback, kimitachi! ^^/
KAT-TUN 6-nin
1. REAL FACE - this one was easy, their debut single is simply awesome even years after
2. GOLD - because of “Don´t you wanna see it when we make it worldwide?”
3. PRECIOUS ONE - hell, I don´t need any special reason to include this one
4. YOROKOBI NO UTA - because Jin was back and that happy atmosphere about that fact in the related PV is just… *sobs*
5. TABOO - because of QoP live opening
6. HELL NO - because Jin and Kame at QoP live brought me chills as they´re trying to “over-sing” the other
7. RESCUE - because there´s no PV where they would be more kakkoi
8. WATER DANCE - because I love the rhythm, I love the lyrics, I love their performance of it at BtR live… you get the point, right?
9. NEIRO - because it´s the last final ballad they sang together, even along with the whole Dome
10. ON MY MIND - because there´s no song more beautiful or more sad in their repertoire
KAT-TUN 5-nin and 4-nin
1. NMP - because of the unusual orchestra beginning and because of THOSE LYRICS
2. ULTIMATE WHEELS - because of that ´shadows thing´ in PV
3. SILENCE - because it´s the first one I´ve ever heard from them
4. KUSABI - because of the PV, and it´s the first one of 4-nin
5. PHOENIX - because they are one
6. COME HERE - because it´s incredibly catchy and it always makes my heart beat stronger since the live
7. HIDE AND SEEK - because the live version of it gives me the creeps even now
8. FEATHERS - because it´s quite rockish and unusual for their style
9. UNLOCK - because it´s for Kaitou Yamaneko drama
10. GREATEST JOURNEY - because it makes me smile every time I hear it
Desperate note: And now tell me where the hell should I include Bokura no Machi de? And why TWILIGHT, BLACK, CRAZY LOVE, WHITE X-MAS or BIRTH couldn´t squeeze in there somewhere?!
Ok, I rather shut up already... XD

Date: 2016-11-13 03:35 am (UTC)I also wanted to do it, but it's impossible, I love so many songs that I could not order them, they have a long list of great songs !!!!
From rock to ballads !!!!
Is very creative and beautiful Spinelie's list and I agree with her that my first place among all Kat-tun songs is "REAL FACE", there are many KAT-TUN style songs that I love: Expose, Lips, DUES , Rescue, Change Ur world, Star rider, Unlock, with an innovative rhythm Moon, Sadistic Love, N.P. M. ....
Also danceable music: Come here, Yorokobi no uta,Bounce girls, On & on, Give me, Give me, give me, Tokyo starry,
Ballads to cry:Bokura no machi de, Our story, White X'mas, Hodokyou, 4U Kimi no yume, Boku no yume and many more songs because KAT-TUN imposed an aggressive, visual, rocky, magnificent style of much greatness that does not have any Johnnys group....
For me it is impossible to make a list and I prefer to name the songs that I listen to on my cell phone.
It was interesting to know these lists of songs .... many memories in each song

You mentioned one of the core reasons why I´m so much in love with KAT-TUN - their music range is something very special in Johnny´s. And they can do it SO DAMN WELL!
And... you´re right... so many memories... T_T
Thank you for fangirling with me, dear. <3
And for sharing your list. ^^v

Date: 2016-11-14 03:44 am (UTC)They have tried different genres, but their is their wild style and rocker excels, obviously also do well with their romantic songs!!!!!!
That's why I too am fascinated by theirs..... You have noticed how they stand out in the Countdown ... when you hear the same soft melody on the Johnnys but KAT-TUN explodes in their performances !!!! wuaaaaaaaaa wonderful!!!!
I'll miss them in this Countdown.....
I will cry with sadness with these themes
I miss them!!!!!

Date: 2016-11-13 04:26 pm (UTC)About 6-, 5- and 4-nin... In a way, KAT-TUN still means 6 members for me, so...
Awww, we really have very similar preferences... I´m still upset I couldn´t include also MOON and LOVE. -_- And STEPS TO LOVE! At the time it was released I was really IN LOVE with that song. 10 spots is just too little...
Don´t worry about cheating, I enjoyed your list a lot. ^^v
Thank you so much for sharing it!!
PS: New RW was just sent to my dear beta-reading, all we can do now is to wait. XD
PPS: I wonder if I should make a special Top10 chart for Jin... That should be a little easier, shouldn´t it? XD
no subject
Date: 2016-11-13 05:34 pm (UTC)KAT-TUN will be always 6-nin in my heart :*
You are welcome dear! I enjoyed it really much :)
PS: Aaaaa I´m ready anytimeee :D :D :D
PPS: Well I probably wouldn´t be able to do that :D I don´t know much songs from time he went solo :D
Just maybe Eternal, Test Drive, Sun burns Down, Mi amor , Hey what´s up, Summer Kinda love and Choo choo shitain :D sorry -_-ˇ.... but If I could add solos from KAT-TUN time then I should be able to do it :D

Date: 2016-11-14 08:12 am (UTC)I´m really happy for him that he was able to walk his own path and came up with his style. His songs are quite specific and I love many of them.
But no need to be sorry about that, dear, not everybody must like everything. For example, I do not follow INKT much. ;)

Date: 2016-11-14 11:43 am (UTC)I dont know, with Jin I still feel kinda heartbroken so .....but If I stumble over his song (mostly main songs with MV) I like it :)
but I would like to go to his concert :D so maybe some day I will be more into him :D

Date: 2016-11-22 04:09 pm (UTC)I'm happy to see your list and I agree: it is HELL to do! I would defo put Moon as well, it's such a heartbreak to pick one over the other to make a list. ToT
I will share my bonus 18 songs soon as well on the channel, as a lot of people seemed interested :D
And....well I kinda want to do a Top 10 for Jin and INKT...
no subject
Date: 2016-11-22 07:02 pm (UTC)It´s good to see my favorites at ´one place´. XD
Definitely looking forward to your bonuses, dear!!
And as for another chart for Jin... This idea doesn´t want to leave me either. ^_^´
