Yellow Gold Tour - Akanashi Jin

Akanashi Jin, member of JPop group KAT-TUN, set out as a solo artist this year, leaving his KAT-TUN members to carry on without him. This does not in anyway mean that Akanashi will permanently quit KAT-TUN. He just wishes to fulfill his dream of becoming a solo artist.

BANDAGE

BANDAGE starring Akanishi Jin, Kitano Kii, Kora Kengo, Shibamoto Yuki, Kasahara Hideyuki, Kaneko Nobuaki, Watanabe Anne, Ito Ayumi.

Indie rock bands were a rising thing in Japan during the 1990s. This is the story of such a band. Their ups, downs and in-betweens.

Cartoon KAT-TUN

I previously did a post on Cartoon KAT-TUN. I have been trying to watch every episode I can get my hands on. Some of the episodes are RAW so I'm a bit upset about having to skip those. But I have managed to watch the majority of 102 episodes and 2 of the special episodes.

There are a total of 152 episodes and 3 special episodes. The show started airing in April of 2007 and they filmed their final episode March 2010. I am sad to see this show go. It brought me many laughs and several "wtf?!" moments.

I think with watching this show it has opened me up to watching to listen to other types of Japanese main stream music and wanting to further my knowledge of Japanese culture. I've noticed that several popular music groups have different variety shows. I hope I have the chance to get to watch them also and be further entertained.

I found this fan made video with funny moments from Cartoon KAT-TUN. I hope it has you entertained and laughing.

Cartoon KAT-TUN

I started out just watching mini clips on the variety show Cartoon KAT-TUN. Then I discovers full episodes that are fansubbed. Thank you to the fansubbers who took the time out of their life to bring us the joyous wonders of KAT-TUN.

KAT-TUN consists of 6 members. They are a JPop group with Johnny's Entertainment. You might recognize some of their faces from JDramas that I've posted about. The letters in KAT-TUN represent the first initial in each members name. In KAT-TUN order the members are:

Kamenashi Kazuya
Akanishi Jin
Taguchi Junnosuke
Tanaka Koki
Ueda Tatsuya
Nakamaru Yuichi

Kame-chan played Shuji-kun in Nobuta wo Produce.
Akanishi Jin and Taguchi Junnosuke played in Yukan Club. Akanishi played as Miroku and Taguchi played as Bido.

Here's part one of episode 2 (I tried searching for episode 1 but couldn't find it on youtube).
Enjoy.

Yukan Club

Yukan Club starring Akanishi Jin, Yokoyama Yu, Taguchi Junnosuke, Minami, Suzuki Emi, and Kashii Yu.



Shochikubai Miroku is the son of the police commissioner (father) and world traveler for a mother. Miroku is strong & dependable with a caring heart. He has a love for motorcycles and other such engineering and electrical things. I consider him to be the heart behind the Yukon Club.
