[KAT-TUN] The Message
Mar. 23rd, 2016 01:00 pmKon´nichiwa! ^^/
So... To my great surprise, I´ve managed to reach the lovely 2nd place in KAT-TUN 10th Anniversary contest!

*dancing around*
Once again, arigatou gozaimashita to everyone who voted for me!
*bow*
And here it goes - my special Anniversary message for KAT-TUN...
The point of the contest was to include 10 KAT-TUN group songs into it. I´ve managed to hide a little more of them there, but the capital and bold ones count in this case. ^_^
********************************************************
Dear KAT-TUN…
Your road has never been very easy, has it? Step by step you kept climbing up that long and difficult ladder in show-business and even seemed to enjoy balancing on the edge of it all the time. But it´s just one of many things, which make you so special…
Despite it shook heavily from time to time, that CHAIN OF LOVE with which you tied our hearts with bonds never broke. You brought us both laugh and tears, both joy and sorrow with such intensity that sometimes it felt as a quite SADISTIC LOVE. You made us overcome DISTANCEs, you RESCUEd us with your music and despite some of your PROMISE SONGs turned out unfulfilled, you have always been too PRECIOUS ONEs to us to let you go.
You are our STARs and we are your Hyphens no matter what. RIGHT NOW it might feel difficult and unbearable but once, a BRAND NEW DAY will come again and when you are there, we will be there too.
WE ARE KAT-TUN. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
*************************************************************
I hope you all had a great Anniversary day!
Kasumi
PS: I´m just curious - can you see ALL KAT-TUN songs in that message? You can try to count them and let me know in the comment if you like. ^_^

Mar. 22nd, 2016 09:00 amHappy 10th Anniversary Day to KAT-TUN and all Hyphens around!!

Let´s use this opportunity and make this "322 day" as special as possible; since it´s a once in a lifetime occassion...
Omedetou KAT-TUN no mina-san! ^^

PPS: A proper 10th anniversary related message for KAT-TUN will follow later - it´s a part of a certain contest and I can´t publish it before the results are out. ^_^´
[KAT-TUN] From Interview with Steven Lee
Mar. 12th, 2016 04:20 pmKonnichiwa! ^^/
Once again, just some sharing today...
From the reasons, which are obviously stated below, I got interested in this interview with songwriter/producer Steven Lee.
Good to hear there is also this kind of KAT-TUN´s Hyphens. :D
Oh, yes, no matter that this song, in contrast with its title, brings more pain than joy, I´m quite proud of this piece of KAT-TUN music as well. ^^´
The complete interview here on Arama!Japan:

PS: For being so short and not exactly coherent today - gomen´nasai. I´ve just finished reading Junno´s 10k interview and it left me in a very... agitated state of mind. Just to be clear - I´m not upset at him, not at all! If anything, I came to understand him even more. It´s just... I have such a strong feeling the things really didn´t have to end up the way they did. -_-

[KAT-TUN] A little summary
Mar. 9th, 2016 09:46 pmKonbanwa minna-san! ^^/
Today, I´ve got just a little summary of recent KAT-TUN related news, about which you certainly know, but I´d like to share it anyway…
UNLOCK
Released on 2nd March; officially their last 4-nin single… I really like the play of white and black in the PV and especially those parts where there is “more” of them - they are so kakkoiii… *o*
GREATEST JOURNEY
I think this was a perfect choice for the last 4-nin PV to be made; they made me laugh so hard over it (for the 1st time since Junno has announced his departure). I really needed something like this…
http://aramajapan.com/news/music/newrelease/kat-tun-drops-pvs-for-last-4-member-single-unlock/55364/
“10ks” Album
The list of ´Best of´ songs was released; just going through it made me feel so nostalgic… I´m “afraid” this will be one of those things I just NEED TO OWN. ^^´ Not to mention those covers! I approve. :D
Plus, there is a new 3-nin song (ballad) ´Kimi no Yume, Boku no Yume´ included. I got inexplicably excited about the information that the same person (Suga Shikao), who wrote ´Real Face´ for them is behind this. I´m so curious about it!
(The realization that they made this in 3-nin unit still saddens me, but… We all are trying to deal with all of this somehow, right?)
Fight-oh! ^^v
http://aramajapan.com/news/music/sugao-shikao-pens-new-kat-tun-song-best-album-details-releases/55671/
PS: I´m aware that I somehow (don´t ask me how) ended up in a kind of “unannounced hiatus” myself. It has been a month (already??? O_O) since I posted the last RW chapter. Gomen ne… But since there is a “free” weekend in front of me, I promise I´ll work hard to provide you with a different kind of update too… ^^Not to mention I miss my western AKame as hell.

[Kame] 30th Birthday post ^^
Feb. 23rd, 2016 03:33 pm誕生日おめでとう
Otanjoubi omedetou, Kame-chan!!
Otanjoubi omedetou, Kame-chan!!
It´s really hard to believe that our dear ´Turtle´, K of KAT-TUN, Kamenashi Kazuya is already thirty years old!
Come on, how does he do that? He looks more like twenty. XD

( Just a random pick from my favorites... )
PS: At the opportunity of Kame´s birhtday, I´ve joined the idea of ´Kame World Fan Project´ and prepared the special postcard. It´s not adressed only to Kame though, it belongs to all members, since they all deserve our support... I remember now, I used to send a lot of similar postcards before, after Koki was kicked out... Who knows if KAT-TUN even ever got their hands on it? But I can (and should) keep on my faith in this too, shouldn´t I?

[KAT-TUN] Hiatus announced...
Feb. 14th, 2016 05:07 pmAnd here it goes...
http://aramajapan.com/news/kat-tun-to-enter-into-temporary-hiatus-after-dome-tour-on-may-1/54602/
We´ve been through so many difficult times with them already... And we somehow managed to deal with them all.
I´m not gonna give up now. They simply mean too much to me.
I will trust their words, I will keep my faith and I will keep waiting...
KAT-TUN FOREVER

Konbanwa...
I just would like to share these pieces of Nakamaru Yuichi´s interview from MyOjo magazine, which don´t need any additional comments from my side...
(I would have ended up whining, anyway...)

[KAT-TUN] Postcard no. 14
Feb. 11th, 2015 09:19 pmSomehow, (and this time it was really almost a miracle with that crazy schedule of mine XD) I managed to send also the postcard number 14 on time.
This one definitely belongs to my favorites; Arabian Hyphens did a great job with it. ^^
It´s the first one in 2015(and I´m still in this project, even though I didn´t expect it O_o) and also the first one, which I sent from Prague... More information will (hopefully) follow later in some private post.
Jaa! ^^/
