KAT-TUN

zoe-chan wrote:but a album without jin is shit... T_____T

i beg to disagree. an album w/o jinjin in it will not be shit for me. it will just be missing something. still great, but can be greater. saying this is like saying the other members don't have talent or can't sing, and i firmly believe that they do and they can sing.

wow~ you misunderstood me :sweat:
kame-chan is my darling and he has a very good voice.
but without jin, there isn't a KAT-TUN, that is complet and I missing his voice. bokura no machi de isn't one of my favourite song and le ciel without jin is not great. I miss him really and I can't agree with this album so short. Give me a day or two days...

i think it is more of a case of you stating something wrongly, rather than me misunderstanding. what struck me was the statement. your explanation of what it is s'posed to mean clearly is very far from how you stated it.

oh, and btw, it's kienai kono kizuna. :doh:

yay....
new album!!!!!
can't wait!!!!

I love "my angel you're angel" sooo much!!!
cant wait to hear the official version!!!!
(hope jin will there too, something's missing without jin)
although, i still love Bokura no machi de and Le ciel without jin


HAI, so desu yo!!!
KIENAI KONO KIZUNA!!!!!

Agreed on that...

For some reason I feel that Johnny is desperately trying to make Kat-tun more popular..I really don't agree with the way they were managed. Akame was given so much attention (by the management, media, etc) so I don't think it's any of the fan's fault if we feel strongly against Kat-tun without their A. I'm not saying that they can't sing, most of them probably can, it's just that fans develop attachments (i.e. to jin) personally I can't look at anything related to Kat-tun without thinking *shit, still 5 people?* then unconciously flipping the page. It still breaks my heart that they're moving on without Jin

i knowwww ...
it's not kat-tun
without that "A"
anybody has any pics of him in LA?
i heard he might be getting into the bad scene?

Life must go on dude... they cannot sit and lay-back until Jin returns..

All of them must be so sad.. you know.. together since they were

so young..like kazoku and then one of them got to go to chase his

dream.. what they can do is continue their routines and pray someday

they will be all together again... same with their fans out there..

with or without jin the group have to move on

they can't just wait for jin to return :victory:

each and everyone of them can definitely sing and

it's a matter of opinion if people think their album is

:shakehead: "crap" :shakehead: but for me i love the guys more now

that they are a 5 unit group........gotta keep supporting them......

( :victory: just my opinion :victory: )

don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming them for anything, I even think it's good that they have fans supporting them. The Kat-tun I learned to like had their A. So, personally without the A, it's not the same, it's like forcing yourself to idolize a random group...I think lots of Akanishi fans feel this way although I don't agree with bashing Kat-tun's new album, minna san please be forgiving of us.

i was very sad when this happened, as i saw the fandom torn apart. and although i am admittedly a very big kame fan, i understand the jinjin fans' side. but to me, i would've appreciated it more had they just silently made their decisions, and not bashed the remaining members. what irritated me the most was not when a lot went on to boycott bokura no machi de because of jinjin's absence. rather, it was because most of them were very proudly proclaiming what they did and were doing in retaliation. i try to be very forgiving, for i have a lot of jinjin fans for friends, but sometimes, it just gets too much. i think these fans miss the whole point of why jinjin had the courage to go on hiatus. i think that part of what gave him courage to do so was because he knew that he was leaving the remaining guys in good hands, as proven when he said to the fans to take care of the five.

also, no one ever forced anybody to stay in the fandom, or to force themselves to like kat-tun as they are now. it is every fangirls' decision to make. i know a lot who also went on hiatus as kat-tun fangirls, and will be back when he comes back. i respect these people more, bec rather than bash the remaining five, they chose to keep quiet, and back off a bit when they knew that they could not support the group wholeheartedly.

everyone is entitled to an opinion. and i respect that. as long as it does not get out of hand, and as long as it does not hurt the five, as well as their fans.

oh, and btw, welcome to the thread. :)
hope you enjoy it here. :)

@ evil_zai
Every fan has different responses to that. Some are more vocal than the others, but we're fans if we didn't feel so strongly about them, we wouldn't be idolizing them. Some bash, some refuses to buy anything related to Kat-tun as retaliation, but there are also non-jinjin fans who say that Kat-tun are fine the way they are. Some of us don't agree with it. It's saying Akanishi is disposable, which also shows lack of respect.

Anyway a lot of fans are under the impression that the rest can't really do much because of the lack of media/ public attention they got before Jinjin went on hiatus. That's really natural ne~ that's why there are things called advertising and marketing. In the end, it's really the management's fault. NewS lost 2 members and I still looove them just cuz they get equal publicity so i feel like i know each of the members.

This is my first and last time openly judging Kat-tun. I think the board should be filled with latest news and gossips instead of argument cause Kat-tun don't have freaking official english sites that we can read! They also freaking cover up everything grrrrr so we gotta keep each other updated lolz

i ordered the limited one. yay!!!
and i was gonna order the first press too, but it says no more prints. i hope they become available again soon.

Hi evil_zai kamusta genki desu ka? Haven't been in this forum or any jdorama forum in a long while. Obviously missed so much news. Was in the NewS forum earlier and a group is planning to do something to Johnny Jimusho for being so mean to NewS and reducing them to trainee status. It was hilarious.

Thank you so much for the link to jpop you sent me. I'm in heaven with all the downloads from that site.

Just finished Anego and Jin was so kakkooii in that jdorama. Still waiting for the upload of Byakkotai part 2 with Yamapi and Koki. Koki has really matured as an actor ne?

Right now I'm so inlove with Kat-tun's Bokura no Machi de, been playing it all the time like I play Takuya Kimura of smap singing Kimi ga Iru and NewS singing Hoshi wo mezahite.

well said leigh 1381. I miss Jin so much he is really my ichi-ban in the group but Kat-tun has to go on with the remaining 5 members and with their new album without Jin they seem to be doing well. Will check out this forum again for news about the group and Jin's return. Thanks

Wie geht's zoe-chan.

Well I miss Jin too he is my liebling in the group but i still support
Kat-tun with just the 5 now.
Reading all your postings here clarifys a lot of things about the group.I just feel sad sometimes that I don't have enough time to chat with other Kat-tun lovers.

Sugoi ne!!!!!! Cool merchendiser. Wish to get 1. :fingerscrossed:

gawdd I missed soo much out.. but since jin left.. eek.. :shamefulcry: ..

hehee.. just to share... 1stly, so happy to see sooo many pages for Kat-tun forum.. it'll take me ages to read all 1000s pages.. *lol* Thanks to all who keep the news coming in....

Actually, i only knew about Jin and Kame for their roles in Gokusen and later on, Anego etc.. Didnt bother to know them better till my friend told me about Jin leaving Kat-tun at heitght of popularity and not sure what the reason was etc.. So, I was of course shocked and curious... began to search for their news, profiles and videos/songs in you tube.. Amazing!! I didnt expect myself to grow liking them now... especially their songs (funky) - Signal and Real face. They sang, dance well and of course look good & cool, sexy too.. really enjoyed watching them performing. Pity that now its only left 5 members (have to get used to it, as Jin is my fav:) ) but I do hope that these 5 will continue to remain strong (afterall they're still young group) and Jin to rejoin them soon... Yes, its a bit strange to see them perform without the A. anyway, let us fans continue to support Kat-tun even without the A as I believe that is what Jin would want us to do. My next action would be to go down to record stores to look for Kat-tun cds :P
