Erm... that's the reason.
Everyone will be drooling all over Jin! It wouldn't be fair to the rest.

yeah. it wouldn't. but i mean its jin's ero dance!
no one wants to miss that.

Jin is not the best dancer in KAT-TUN i think.
But he is the sexiest dancer. The bad part is if KT had a choreographed dance and then suddenly Jin started to do his own little ero over there, then all eyes would focus on him O_o.

as for the camera thing...jin's own camera would mean he wasn't in front of the camera >_< but it would be interesting to see what he would film. He did some filming in signal didn't he?? And i don't think the rest of the members would want to focus on jin only....hahah isn't junno the only one that doesn't spoil jin, so therefor they sometimes argue?

Maybe they should make a special for each member like they do for boybands in the US. That way noone would complain.
Of course we all know who would sell more!

yeah i heard that junno and jin arent good friends ...
yay im listening to signal
but ppl are putting their music OVER MINE ah
well they should film each other
i think they should just get a camera and film themselves doing stupid stuff hahaha
why couldnt they do that arashi did!?!?
like when they film themselves in hawaii well there was ppl filming but still
or when they were getting ready for another concert when they were in the car and everything they were going crazy
i think kat tun should do something that like
to lets their fans know how they are
but it wouldnt happen

hehe. kame did that at the kaizokuban concert.
well. sorta
he took a camera from one of the guys and just started walking around filming.
but it wasn't that interesting. xD

hmm.. do kat-tun members selftake ictures of themselves?
i've seen some.. but not a lot.

Jin did the steal the camera thing in the SIGNAL making. o_o;
If that...wasn't...mentioned. xDD

KT takes pictures of themselves?! O_O
I've never seen that. xDD
Lmao~ I'd like to though. *_*

hiddenhappiness!! you're on
i want to see it too.
maybe i've seen some but didn't notice.

oh really?
i thought i saw one with akame
jin's arm was hovering above.. so i guessed that they were taking a picture of themselves..
haha. idk. i thought i saw some pictures.. but i didt save them. >_<

Aww~~ Haha it makes me wonder. xDD

Ever think that famous idols like to "camera-whore"?? xP

oh_so_asian: I AM! Too bad I have to leave soon. =_=

yeah. i love jin pictures
they're either funny or sexy
only those two.
like sometimes he's being baka so it comes out funny.
but then he also has his sexy pics. which i love love love.

hello guys!

wow Jin is so hot these past few days because we're on page 22!!!

i wonder what time the 24hr thing start? anyone knows?

TAKE TIME TO READ THIS ONE

Wink Up September 2006 Focus KAT-TUN (Part 1)


Jin, Junno, Kôki

Jin: "In July our second single 'Signal' was released."
Junno: "Which is why we could appear in several music programs."
Kôki: "But since there's also the DoCoMo commercial, compared to our first single, it feels as if we're not moving around that much."
Junno: "Yeah. More like the commercial is doing the advertising for the single."
Jin: "DoCoMo was so kind as to combine those two things, up until now we didn't really have a promotion and commercial like these."
Kôki: "One could say they're linked. Like, the DoCoMo commercial has ended up becoming our promotion."
Jin: "Until now, only Kame and me appeared in the DoCoMo commercials, now not only is our song included but also the whole group appears."
Kôki: "The filming of the PV was interesting too. With CG and all. It was fun looking foward to the finished product. How our real movements would look with CG."
Junno: "The set was also impressive."
Kôki: "This is awkward to say, but it costed quite a bit. It was a really great set."
Jin: "We were moving around in those cubicles, and those became very different movements... It was fun watching that happen."
Junno: "Also, to talk about something to do with music, KAT-TUN sings the opening theme for 'Sapuri'. This has nothing to do with 'Signal' and is a completely new song."
Jin: "Un. It's more of a pop song, isn't it?"
Junno: "Pop'n music."
Jin: "Yeah, pop'n music. *laughs* For 'Signal', it's the listening feeling, but isn't the melody [AN: I'm guessing it's the melody - it could also be the lyrics. He uses the word サビ.] very easy to remember this time?"
Junno: "I think you will be able to sing it very quickly when it gets available in karaoke."
Jin: "Un, for everyone. I'm sure they will sing it just like that."
Junno: "And there's a story behind the lyrics, so I want everyone to listen to them carefully."
Jin: "This is with regards to it as the opening song for Kame's dorama. Kôki is also starring in a dorama right now, doesn't it feel very fullfilling that on a personal basis, everyone increasingly has their own activities? The people who don't act also have various jobs."
Kôki: "For the 24 hours television for example. We have started going to different locations, too."
Junno: "It's really very fullfilling."
Jin: "Un. Since Kame and Kôki have a their dorama, we are rearranging the schedule for the locations."
Kôki: "Even though we can't do it all the time, we make sure to visit the locations."
Junno: "Akanishi-kun and I went to the recording of the Dance Kôshien for 24 hours television. That was quite a challenge. We've never before done a program together with so many normal students. I thought 'This is going to be fantastic', but it was even more so than I had imagined."
Jin: "School uniforms, they're great, aren't they~"
Junno: "Eh!? That's what caught your eye!?"
Kôki: "Wasn't it about dancing!?"
Jin: "Iya, but, everyone could dance very well."
Junno: "And somehow there were a lot of styles I didn't even know."
Jin: "At that time we were really saved by Hyôdô Yuki-san [AN: ...who had been at Dance Kôshien before and therefore knew what she was doing.] After all, the two of us haven't acted as emcees before."
Junno: "Obviously Hyôdô-san was used to it, wasn't she. For us, it was the first time, so we had no clue what to ask. Since there will be more locations to visit, we have to make use of this new experience and do our best."
Jin: "It's such a good chance to meet and talk with a lot of different people, that I'm looking forward to going again if the opportunity arises."
Kôki: "When you got down to it, the two of you were more passive than expexted." *laughs*
Jin: "But you also talk in the radio show."
Junno: "But Akanishi-kun, recently you read an essay in "R-One KAT-TUN", right? And I don't have that at all?" [AN: I'm reeeeaaaally not sure about this sentence. Here is it in japanese: 「赤西くん、このあいだ作文を「R-One KAT-TUN」に読んでもらったんでしょ？ こっちにはそういうの全然ないんだけど？」 If you know what it is supposed to mean, please let me know! ^o^]
Jin: "I just was over there a couple of times. I'm thinking about making my appearance there soon. But only as shadow, you know."
Junno: "What's that supposed to mean? Don't make it sound as if you'd appear in the show."
Kôki: "It's because we have him do the switching in the background."
Junno: "The people who are listening won't get that at all. *laughs* Because they can't actually see him."
Jin: "I'll rush there for special missions. Like the essay. *laughs* In that way, I want to have my own fun."
Junno: "If we switched with the others, it would surely be interesting too. Me and Kôki make their program. And the other two make our program. Wouldn't it be cool to try it once?"
Kôki: "Eh? 'Ueda Tatsuya ・ Nakamaru Yûichi no KAT-TUN Style~!'? That sounds interesting. *laughs*
Jin: "Ueda Tatsuya and Akanishi Jin no KAT-TUN Style"
Junno: "We can't allow that."
Jin: "Yeah, that's impossible, isn't it. *laughs* Obviously those are your shows, I'll just be the persistent guest."
Kôki: "It's because basically "KAT-TUN Style" is our program."
Junno: "Exactly. Even if Jin enters, he's just the man behind the scenes."
Jin: "Salted salmon roe." [AN: This is a pun: man behind the scenes = 黒子, salted salmon roe = 筋子]
Kôki: *ignores jin completely* "He has more the role of staff. Like delivering the program schedule."
Jin: *undauntedly* "Salted salmon roe."
Kôki: "Stop interrupting, man!" *laughs*
Junno: "But how does it feel, Kôki, to have solo activities?"
Kôki: "How does what feel?"
Junno: "To have a job on your own and then return to KAT-TUN."
Kôki: "There isn't really anything special about it... After all, I meet everyone three or four times a week."
Jin: "That doesn't change, ne."
Kôki: "On days when we don't meet, I have some free time or dorama shooting. That's the only thing that's different."
Jin: "So let's stay like this and use each of our talents to move forward from now on too..."
Junno: "Come to think of it, it was Jin's birthday a short while ago!"
Kôki: "Even though he tried to hide. *laughs* But that's okay."
Jin: "I got presents from everyone! Except Kamenashi."
Junno: "But Kame is busy with his dorama and apparently doesn't have much free time."
Kôki: "Eh? Hey, I'm also in a dorama? But I managed to give him a present?"
Jin: "Kôki gave me a saddle. *laughs* I just got a bike saddle."
Kôki: "In five years, you'll have the whole bike together."
Jin: "In the course of three years, I'll probably have lost this year's saddle."
Kôki: "Iya, surely not in three years. You already lost so many things this year."
Jin: "Yeah, I'll lose it in the course of this year." *laughs*
Kôki: "But it would be good to have it this week, right?"
Junno: "He's already preparing to lose it." *laughs* [AN: I'm sure about the saddle, I'm sure about the losing part, but it may sound awkward in English - please forgive me.]
Kôki: "Iya, but that was only a gag gift. I'll give you a real present too."
Jin: "Really? Arigatô gozaimasu. How friendly ne~" *laughs* [AN: He uses such a cute word here, wakiaiai - ah, Jin, let me cuddle you to death, you cute thing, you!] Ah, there's still something left to announce. About the T-shirts for 24 hours television."
Kôki: "Nakamaru with Ghibli." [AN: He said the "with" part in English.]
Junno: "It's the first time, isn't it? That Ghibli teams up with someone else."
Jin: "Nakamaru loses completely." *laughs*
Kôki: "Unforgivable. I got the order mixed up. It's Ghibli with Nakamaru."
Jin: "I saw the finished product, it's all Ghibli."
Junno: "But with Nakamaru's picture."
Jin: "True. Ghibli said 'We won't do it if the draft can't convince us.' But it seems there was something good in the picture Nakamaru drew. Under these hard conditions, Nakamaru's sense sold."
Junno: "And on top of that, it was the picture that we all had declared no good. I never would have thought that this picture would be chosen." *laughs*
Kôki: "The one about which everyone said 'This won't do.' was chosen.
Jin: "Ghibli has a different eye for such things. They're really awesome."

Ok...................i love kame.......but i just wanna shake him by the shoulders and go KAAAMMMME CHAN snap out of it man! relax relax relax!!!! Not to mention he's not happy about ratings being low cuz hes so used to the ratings hes gotten on the other shows!!!!

as for him not getting jin a present XD yeah i guess he's busy....so he wouldn't have time

I wonder what will happen after sapuri is over!!! Yeah maybe they'll start hanging out more....unless some new KT single comes out or Jin gets a new drama (hooray for us but not hooray for a closer bond between akame....D: )

Duet 2006-07 Akanishi Jin

Akanishi Jin

Q: From around when did you start to get along well with (Nishikido) Ryô-chan?

A: Since yesterday! ... that's a lie. *laughs* We go way back actually, I don't remember since when. I still often meet Ryô-chan, just recently he came for a visit to my house, he ate the curry I made for him with gusto, then he went home. *laughs*

Q: I'm bad at English. What can I do to speak English effortlessly like Jin-kun?

A: There's no way but studying! I once lived for three months at my friend's home who's half Japanese, half American, and I learned a lot there. We took care only to speak English. That's right, how about trying to talk about everyday things in English? Oh, and in the beginning I used (Katori) Shingo-kun's book "Perapera book" [AN: perapera means fluent when talking about languages] for studying, it's a very good book, so I really recommend it.

Q: What's the key to having beautiful skin like you do?

A: Really, I don't do anything special. Only when I touch it and it feels rough and dry do I apply something like a moisturizing cream. That's it.

Q: Please tell me if there is a knack to becoming good in dancing and singing.

A: U~n. Lately I don't practice or anything. Skipping class!? *laughs* Well, there's just one knack to becoming good, and that is only practice.

Q: If you're about to go somewhere to have fun, what's the first place that comes to mind?

A: Swimming in the sea! Lately, the weather is good day after day, so when I go out and look at the sun, I think "Ah, I want to go to the sea..."! "I'll buy new swimming boxers!"
[AN: Sorry, English is not my mother tongue so I have no clue how to call these boxers... the sort he means are wide and long and often very colorful.]

Q: When you go out with Yamashita (Tomohisa)-kun, what kind of things do you do?

A: Lately I haven't met Pi. I have the tour, Pi seems to be busy with his dorama. We also don't exchange mails often at the moment. But he says if he can make time we should go eat somewhere, so I'll write him soon.

Q: If KAT-TUN didn't exist, what do you think you'd be doing?

A: I think I'd be a normal worker.

Q: You seem very busy at the moment, how much time do you sleep every night?

A: Depends on the day. Yesterday I slept six hours. I'm at my best when I sleep nine hours.

Q: Lately, is there anything that made you happy, or something that you managed to do?

A: I love my dog. I don't really have the time to take her / him for a walk, but sometimes when I do and say "Let's go!", he / she goes, fetches the lead and brings it to me. That is so cute. And, last week I had a bit of free time, so I went into a pet shop. At that time I saw a baby poodle, and it was more than cute. That cuteness got me too... Dogs make me happy after all.

Q: Is there a sport that you want to try out?

A: I've already started playing tennis and I really want to continue with it. Until now I've only played on an indoor court, but since summer is coming, I'm thinking of playing outside. It looks as if it feels good!

Q: Is there anything that you have to do at any cost before you go to bed?

A: Take a shower. I'm the type to take a shower before bed no matter what. I move around the whole day, I sweat, so I want to feel refreshed when I fall asleep.

Q: What's your treasure?

A: A watch. There was one that I wanted for the longest time, I saw it around three month ago at the Ginza [AN: most expensive shopping street in Tokyo], now I finally bought it. I like it so much, I didn't use to wear watches, but this one I will wear for a long time. [AN: If it's the watch he's wearing for that photo shoot, then look out for a black metal watch on his wrist!]

Q: If you could turn into a girl for a day, what would you want to do?

A: Go into the woman's bath! *laughs* After that, I'd want to go many places where men are forbidden to enter. *laughs*

Q: What do you wear when you sleep?

A: A t-shirt and underpants!

Q: If you went on a private trip, where would you want to go?

A: The United States. While I travel, I also want to learn English.

Q: When you go for a drive, what kind of place do you like?

A: A place where the nighttime landscape is beautiful. I often go for a drive by myself. I like Yokohama, the Minatomirai [AN: you can see a picture of that here: http://www.minatomirai21.com/ ], the view is beautiful so I recommend it.

Q: How many mails / numbers do you have saved on your mobile phone?
[AN: I'm not sure if they're talking about mails or telephone numbers, sorry!]

A: Around 200.

Q: If you could have a parttime job, what kind of job would you like to do?

A: I'd want to work at a convenience store. I'd want to be in charge of the cash register.

Q: If you were to make a sports team with the KAT-TUN members, what would that be?

A: A basketball team. And I'm the captain!!

Q: More than life, what do you think is the most important thing?

A: It's love.

SENSIBLE but FUNNY!

haha thanks kenkatz...
hmm jin DOES have beautiful skin

And i can bet that the friend he was talking about was jimmy mackey.

As for the US....OMG JIN COME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jin knows that most english in KAT-TUN tho! and he's good at it too. I read this entry of a guy from america that went to perform as a dancer in Dreamboys and he said that kame and jin both have pretty good english. Darn if i could recall his name...jin IS good at english though don't underestimate him....but what i find unbelievable is kame speaking english...theres the surprise.

okay. there's so many things to say!!

first. jin come to the u.s!!!!



thats good. i always have to shower before i sleep too. some of my friends don't shower when they wake up in the morning to go to school. it kinda grosses me out. i wake up at 5 a.m. just to shower for school! lol..showering is really important to me. its kinda weird.



so is the Ginza kinda like Rodeo Drive??



wahh..so many. i only have like a hundred!



my favorite part of the interview. he sounds like a philosepher (sp?).

yeah he got beautiful skin...and yep he's dead serious in learning english...so maybe now he's the one who is better in speaking english...so Jin I can relate to you!

jins so determined to learn enlish!!
he's pretty good.

i want him to come to the u.s!!! like NOW!!

ahaha i knoowww!
with the rest of KAT-TUN hahaha
hehe. its scaryy. i've never been obsessed with anyone like this before >_<;;;

High point of my KT obsession was in march. WOW that was a very bad time for me. ESP when i found out about their debut......on the debut day we had a test and i wrote on my friend's test "Happy KAT-TUN day!" and she just glared at me.

jin you must come!!! but he learned english to meet blonde girls ACKKKK jin!!!!

i used to think i wasn't obsessed that much, but obviously i am
i just didn't want to admit it. but now its whatever.
i like the JE boys. i can say that proudly now.

i have to go everyone!! talk to you tomorrow!!!!
byeeeeee

bye girl! see you again next time!

oh i have to go too!!

see you next time..or maybe later!!!!

i come back when everyone leaves XD
haha.
jin speaks ok english
from some clips i've heard
dude he should so come here

hahah! hey im back...well can't get enuf so im back....but for 20mins or so...

maybe now he can speak english well...hope so...because he's learning with his so called friend..and yep maybe its Jimmy Mackey....

yeah he should drop by here and look at his thread....and read all our illusions and dreams hahaha!! well does he know that AF exist?

it might be jimnmy
since hes half
i wonder if jin does know
wow tht would be akward

hahah..hi everyone...
i said i'd come back tomorrow..but like kenkatz-senpai i can't get enough
so i'm back. i'll be on for a while though...yay!

but i'm not sure if anyone's on...mayra-chan?? are you on?

i want to see recent clips of jin speaking eng.. i hope he improved a lot ^^
and omg if he reads our obsessions.. then.. yes that would be like . . . maybe i should stay away from ___ (insert country) or else i'll get stalkers there too DX

lol. if jin came to the u.s....i don't think i would go see him..but i'd definently be happy. lol.

i hope he would go to LA...cuz i can go there or something XDDD

yeahyuhhh!!
l.a. thats where i am..

if KT goes to the u.s. its probbly gonna be LA or hawaii .. why? i dunno.. all i know is that canada is SO out of the picture T_T

LOL. canada isn't even part of the u.s.
hawaii! arashi debuted there neh?
its really pretty there. i love it.

LOL hahaha i know i'm from canada =P
and yea! hawaii is really nice! i went there when i was.. 10 i think.. and i still rmb the great weather XD

lol..yeah i went there two years ago. i think.
i went to kauai. its so small there though. you can drive around the perimeter in two hours. lol
and in the middle of the island is the wettest place on earth. lol

there're lots of pics of him wearing glasses..lolx he's such a geek sometimes...but a VERY HAWTTT geek!

hmmm i wonder if he wears contact lenses most of the time?

I was away and I came back to see 2 more pages in this thread. Wow...
Then I started reading and it was all about kame and Sapuri...... I wondered if I was in the right thread! Then I read Kenkatz's post........... So he does speak English huh! There's a surpise! And a pleasant one as well!
And I love the fact that he is so honest in interviews. He just answers questions from his heart and doesn't care if he says sth the wrong way....
He's such a sweetheart

I think he does wear contacts most of the time but I like him in glasses. At least he's not embarassed to wear glasses like some people *cough-yamapi-cough*

jin really does need glasses?
hmm..i didn't know that...lol.

pi-chan needs glasses too? wahhh..i didn't know that either
i wear glasses!! lol.

Yeah Pi has bad eyesight but doesn't wear glasses. He says that sometimes he borrows some of his friends glasses when it's too hard to see! I bet he borrows Jin's glasses.........

I love that interview, Duet 2006-07 Akanishi Jin. that one.
It is so cute when he's laughing about his owns answers
