I just want/need to share my joy...
Finally, after years of anxious waiting, we get our Captains back and on top of that in such a force!
I´ve just finished listening to CAST Album for the first time and I´m almost speechless...

It´s different, it´s new, exciting, unusual and lovely.
Even though it took me some time before I shook the feeling of ´is-that-really-KAT-TUN´ off, it´s clear to me now - THEY ARE BACK and I dare to say that in a better shape than ever
(since they started losing the members, I mean...).

I will give it like two, three more times and I bet I´ll be obsessed. XD
Though, I guess it will take more than that with ´Dirty, Sexy, NIght´, it reminds me of ´Kiss, Kiss, Kiss´ too much...
Solo songs are great too, even if it seems that Kame took some weird lyrics/music lessons from someone....

What about you? Did you have a change to hear all the songs yet?
What do you think about them? Do you have your favorite?
Mine is ´New Genesis´ for now
(and ´One Way Love´, of course, Kame), but I suppose it´ll change yet. ^^´

Jaa!

PS: FYI - I didn´t forget about RW, it has just come to the point - don´t do it, if you need to force it. Please, have patience with me. ^^v

Hisashiburi, minna-san! ^_^

My dear readers...

It has been a while, hasn´t it?
How did you enjoy Christmas holidays and New Year´s celebrations? I hope you all had funny, relaxing and lovely time.

I spent Christmas at my parents´ place and it was exactly what I had imagined it to be like - the best relaxation I could have (it was damn needed....). And my last day of the 2017 and the first one of the 2018 was more than nice, spent with my friends and my dearest sis. Followed by the best topping I could ever wished for...

I know WE ALL KNOW ALREADY, but since there is such a lovely opportunity, I cannot leave it unused, so...


\^_^/ KAT-TUN IS BACK \^_^/

I can imagine that my over-happy reaction at 5:00 AM, when I found out about this special Johnny´s Countdown surprise from Twitter, must have startled the neighbours, but what kind of Hyphen would have given a damn, right? The realization that our dear Captains are back on ship still brings a happy smile on my face.

And.... I know of no better way to celebrate their comeback than with my own ´coming back´.
So, I´d like to announce, with clear conscience (I was not sure a few days ago) that my little hiatus is over now. Since the first chapter of RW III. is in a great progress, I can honestly say: Hell, yes, I´m back in this story. No regrets. XD

Not today, not tomorrow, but soon, very soon, I promise, you can expect the continuation of my western-AKame (bloody) love story.

Looking forward to meet you all again in comments!

I´ve been happy about all those solo activities Kame, Uepi and Maru had. - It´s great they´re so active despite being on hiatus!
I´ve been excited to see Kame and Pi reunion. - Oh, nice, this brings so many memories...
And... I´m scared shitless about Kame´s solo tour announcement... - WTH?!

Johnny´s Net - Kamenashi Concert Tour 2017

I´m sorry if I´m too grouchy and pesimistic now. I´d love to attend his solo live (OF COURSE, DAMN IT, I´D HAVE BEEN IN HEAVEN), but I can´t help but wonder what this might mean for KAT-TUN´s future... T_T
*being traumatized by certain KAT-TUN solo activities in the past*

What are your thoughts, dear fellow Hyphens?
Please, share them with me if you like; I desperately NEED to be calmed down.

*bow*

No one can steal our precious memories. So, we should not let them get spoiled by anyone.
KAT-TUN welcome
Happy KAT-TUN Day to all Hyphens!
witchann2: (Kame 2)
To the only famous personality whom I admire, respect, love and adore at the same time,
to our precious “Turtle” Kamenashi Kazuya – Happy Birthday!!
His smile improves my mood.
His words give me strength.
His acting makes me laugh and cry.
His singing touches my heart.

And all those feelings do not falter with the passing time, they just get stronger...

Thank you, Kame, for just being YOU.

<3

Konbanwa, 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] 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 Top 10... No less than two of them! )
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

PS: Working also at RW II. Coming soon! ^^v

Kon´nichiwa! ^^/

With a kind approval of
[livejournal.com profile] spinelie, I´d like to share the two of her hilarious videos about KAT-TUN, which are really... apt. :´D Both of them made me laugh so hard, I couldn´t stop even on the day after, just remembering it.

Just fyi, neither of them mean any offense to ANY of the members, so there´s no need to be upset or angry
(it´s obvious that she loves them just as the rest of us ^^´).
And hell, we all need some fun in these hiatus-days, right?

So, enjoy and keep waiting for our Pirates! ^^/


WHAT IS KAT-TUN?

Kame´s message 10ks.JPG
Source: Allthingsjpop.wordpress.com

KAT-TUN held their last live tour “KAT-TUN 10th Anniversary Live Tour 10Ks!” on 1st May at the Tokyo Dome. After this, KAT-TUN activities will cease as they enter a recharge period. Below is the message from Kamenashi Kazuya.

Hi, this is KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi. Thank you for coming today. Before our 10th year anniversary, another member left again…From 6 members to 5, from 5 to 4, from 4 to 3. Every time this happens, we’re able to stand in front of everyone and talk(about moving forward together). However, time and again, we were not able to deliver our promises.

As a member of KAT-TUN, I’m really ashamed, regretful, and sorry. We, too, came so far after overcoming all these walls. When i feel like escaping, because of the support from everyone, i felt the need to stay in KAT-TUN, to be the Kamenashi who loves KAT-TUN. I’m really thankful.

From tomorrow onwards, we will have to put in our best in various places. I also hope to be able to move on with strength while searching for the new Kamenashi Kazuya, in my own time and place. I will treasure all the experience and scenes i’ve seen up till now, and hope i can bring it back to this place.

Finally, we KAT-TUN are K – Kamenashi Kazuya, A – Akanishi Jin, T-Taguchi Junnosuke, T-Tanaka Koki, U-Ueda Tatsuya, N – Nakamaru Yuichi. We are a group made of these 6. We might not exist if not for these 6, and I might not be able to meet everyone like this. The remaining 2 here (Nakamaru and Ueda) have been through alot, but we’d like to thank the 3 who left for walking so far.

From now, the future is a question mark. From time to time, we may make you worry, we ourselves will also feel the same. However, we will continue and make you feel that this is necessary in order to protect KAT-TUN.

So please continue to follow us. When each of us have gathered enough strength and feel like we’ve protected KAT-TUN, I’d like to return proudly as KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya. Please take care of us and thank you
.”

Only shortly today...

April had been a very busy month for me. I feel quite tired and knowing that upcoming two weeks are going to be only a little better doesn´t help much. On the other hand, it was the month filled with so many great moments and experiences, that I cannot really complain about it and remembering them is helping me to go on in this a bit exhausting period (though, dealing with KAT-TUN going on hiatus is much harder, harder than I expected... maybe I should just stop watching all those videos showing their last live in Tokyo Dome...).

I had been in Ósaka, where I was lucky enough to see KAT-TUN ´10ks´ live, and after that I´ve attended my most favorite otaku-related event of the year in our country. I´d like to create a proper (and very detailed) article about both Japan-vacation and AnimeFest 2016, but since I have very limited ´space´ for anything in general, I´m afraid I´ll make it quite short, if I want to write anything at all. Anyway, I will publish it in separate posts - to be followed.

There´s been a lot to deal with at once and despite it was mostly in the positive way, I do hope it gets calmer for at least some time now, I really need it. ^_^´

Till next time... Thanks for your patience.
Kasumi

PS: Just let me mention one more thing – did you notice what date Jin chose for releasing his new album „Audio Fashion“? I mean the day in the month. ^^´
