NEWSKokubn Taichi and singer Aiko has been dating for already 7 years and last year, there has been reports of Taichi having bought her a diamond ring for her birthday. And so everyone was speculating that they would announce their wedding soon. Taichi was hosting a program with Inohara at the end of October and his right hand index finger suddenly has a gold ring and since he usually doesn't wear much jewerly, it was very obvious and so rumor of his impending marriage started again.
According to his fans, AIKO also sported a similar ring. Because both have confirmed their love before, this may not be a coincidence. Perhaps Taichi's mate, Nagase has also been with Ayumi Hamasaki for a long time but they couldn't get over the hurdle from JE. Would Taichi and Nagase both announce their marriage and start a marriage revolt?
In the meantime, Kat-Tun has been busy promoting their new single and the five were extra busy to make up for the loss of Jin. Earlier, Kame was being interviewed and his left hand suddenly had a silver ring on. Even though the right hand has a ring on the middle finger, but the ring on his left hand's ring finger was very eye catching. It might mean that he and his girlfriend are going steady.
And it has been rumored that fans have protested by boycotting Kat Tun albums because Jin left but Ueda said that the 5 member team is only temporary, meaning Jin would return. This is to reassure the fans. But it was also rumored that Jin is dating a half Canadian half Japanese girl in Los Angeles at the moment and seem not to care much about this group.
In another news, it was said that MANABU OSIO who is giving up acting planning to emigrate to Los Angeles might hook up with Jin to make a musical group. If so, it would be quite incredible.Permission to repost this article is granted only if this article is accompanied with this message, the text is not altered, and credit is given to this site as follows:

MINNA...MUSIC STATION 12.08.06 IS NOW UPLOADED
IN DL SECTION ENJOYTRANSLATIONSZoom In Super ( 7 December 2006)2 months after the announcement of Akanishi Jin's recess from showbiz activites, this is the first time we have all 5 of KAT-TUN together.
KATTUN: Good morning!!!
Q: Do you feel any differently?
Koki: Each of us recorded our parts one by one.
Kame: Up to now we recorded separately, so it was only when it was all done did I first know which parts I was in.
Koki: Feeling-wise, the thing about us being talked about by others as a temporary (with time limit) 5 man group; I don't think of it as deeply as how others would put it.
On Oda Kazumasu attending all of the members' recording sessions...
Q: Did you feel nervous?
Koki or Maru: Very nervous.
Ueda: To take away my nervousness, Oda san gave me a cake.
? Kat-tun: I didn't know that~
Maru: I'm jealous. But, you know, I ate bento with Oda san.
? Kat-tun: What is this? A boasting competition?
Girl: What kind of bento?
Maru: Pork bento
Koki: Me, salmon.
This year KAT-TUN has been very busy what with their debut early this year, followed by a nationwide concert tour and being the main personalities for 24 hour TV. We asked them to say something about this
year.
Nakamaru san mentioned their CD. Of course, because it is the year of their debut.
Taguchi san wrote I love KAT-TUN.
Junno: We were formed 6 years ago. And somehow I feel that this year I am once again looking back, and I think, of course ( as expected ), to be KAT-TUN is a good thing.
Tanaka san sends his love to the fans and the people around them.
Kamenashi san writes that this year was one where he experienced a lot of different things.
And Ueda san writes " To be able to appear in a music (song) TV show "
? Kat-tun: Write with a thicker pen,yo!
? Kat-tun: It's so thin! So reserved ( moderate, conservative)!
( referring to Ueda's handwriting)
Koki: What about that gap between "uta" (song) and "bangumi" ( tv show)!
(referring to the space between Ueda's writing of the kanji uta and bangumi). It looks like a foreigner wrote
it. Also write "deru" (appear) in Kanji! ( Ueda wrote it in hiragana )
So continues Kat-tun's dissing of Ueda kun.
Music Station ( 8 December 2006)KAT-TUN's Bokura no machi de is number one for this week.
KAT-TUN: Thank you!
Tamori: What did you think when you first heard that Oda san made a song for you?
Kame: At first, I couldn't believe it.
Maru: Yes, I was scared.
Tamori: Really? You were scared?
Maru: I had to hear it twice, of course.
Kame: Nakamaru had an awesome reaction.
Maru: Oda san, EH! Oda san!
( Laughter)
Koki: Surprised!
Tamori: During the recording I heard that he came himself?
Maru: Yes.
Kame: All of us recorded separately. But he came to all of our recordings.
Maru: From start to finish.
Kame: Me, it took 6 hours and during that time he told me this and that.
Tamori: Eh? What sorts of things did he say?
Kame: The demo tape that we received was sung by Oda san. It was already perfect...a good song.
Tamori: So, it wasn't a demo tape?!
Maru: Yes, yes, not a demo tape!
Koki: Like it could have been released as is.
Kame: When I listened to it, I was thinking to sing softly; but he told me to come out with a stronger, more youthful, high-impact voice.
Female announcer: Tanaka san, what reaction have you received from the people around you?
Koki: Yeah, so,you know, Yamashita Tomohisa, Yamapi. We are appearing together in TV Asahi's New Year historical drama. So he tells me, " That song, I like it very much, yo, ne!". And he asks me to give him
a copy. So after I gave it to him...Just before...about the promo..." Yesterday, without noticing it I watched your promo 5 times, yo, ne" (Pi)
Maru: Isn't that watching too much?
Koki: "Sonna ni XXX shite rashiissune"
( I couldn't hear XXX )
Tamori: That's a good comment,ne.
Koki: I think he's also watching now.
Female announcer: Really...
Tamori: So, he's watching today.
Kame and Koki: Yes.
Tamori: Must be nervous.
Kame: Very much.
KAT-TUN goes to the stage...
Female announcer: It seems like Oda san went to all their recordings and gave them a lot of advice. He also told Tanaka san, " You have a beautiful voice, be more confident". And he also praised Nakamaru san
that he had very good harmony.
Mezamashi Terebi ( 7 December 2006)The female interviewer ( Matsuo san) incorrectly calls the song "Bokura no machi"
Nakamaru: It's Bokura no machi de!
Male announcer talks.. About their 3rd single, it is different from the usual image of KAT-TUN.
Kame: For our debut song, it was a rock song ( taste of rock) but, since our debut, we haven't even reached a year yet; so even for us, we don't want to emphasize that, that is the KAT-TUN style (color).
Maru: When we were talking about the second single, we were already starting to think about what our third will be.
Koki: We said let's have a ballad for our third one.
Matsuo: And that became a reality...
Maru: I never thought it would become a reality in such a pretty way.
Koki: It's the best way of material... ( for Oda san to write both the lyrics and the melody ).
Kame: ...izing. ( Kame completes Koki's sentence)
On Oda san being present at the recordings...
Koki: I was totally nervous. I was in the booth ( recording ) for about an hour and my voice wouldn't come out.
Matsuo: You were nervous.
Koki: Yes, I was nervous, ne.
Maru: For the last person, please tell him that this is not Oda san.
The CD is on sale from today. Let's "Mitamon Check"!
KATTUN's Katsu-un ( Winning fortune) year! ( a pun on how KATTUN and KATSUUN are pronounced)
Announcer talks about Kat-tun's debut. And at their concert in Tokyo Dome, May 14; Mezamashi terebi brought some Uchiwas with signs of " Wave at us", " Throw us a flying kiss", and checked who would respond. Tanaka san responded 3 times! We showed this VTR to the 5...
KAT-TUN: Woah!!!
Ueda: Awesome! awesome!
Maru: You really knew it ( to Koki).
Koki: From the smell, I knew it.
Maru: Smell?
Koki: The smell of "Mezamashi".
Announcer talks more about Kat-tun, Kame appearing on Sapuri and Jin's suprise October announcement.
Now that they are 5, what has changed?
Koki: It hasn't changed really that much...Because this 5 man unit is temporary/"has a date of expiration"( at any rate, because it will return to being 6). I wonder what type of form it will be, yo, ne.Junno: Well, I think KAT-TUN will continue from one phase ( chapter) to another.
Koki: You said it really nicely.
Matsuo: Sweet!
Junno: Really? ( Raises his hand and gets ignored...) You guys are so bad!!! ( like,you guys don't follow my cue..)
Kame, Koki and Maru repeat after Junno. Laughter erupts.
