[MAG] AERA - KAT-TUN (Jan 2022) Gratitude for the "present" is the driving force for tomorrow

  (scans cr  Karen Pang ) Person in focus: idol group KAT-TUN "I'm slowly realizing that many people are congratulating me." (Kamenashi) Celebrating the 15th anniversary of their debut, they will participate in the Kohaku Uta Gassen for the first time. "I feel a strange connection (to the Tokyo International Forum)." (Nakamaru) "If Grandma was still alive, she'd be happy." (Ueda) It was a fulfilling year. They were chosen to participate in the Kohaku Uta Gassen for the first time. One day in December, the three of them all said the same thing: "Thank you."  "I'm very grateful for the special time I get to spend here. I want to live up to that. I've had to deal with a lot of emotions in the past, and I've moved on." (Kamenashi) "It was full of good things. A lot of people tried to make the 15th anniversary a good one. I've never had good memories of our anniversaries, but I think this is a great year that wil

[SUBS] Nani Suru KAT-TUN? 2021.04.19 #1

  2021.04.19 Nani Suru KAT-TUN? #1.mp4 Subs: FchanHyphen Timing & typesetting: Citraryo Raw: FchanHyphen Download:  MEGA I'll also take the chance to introduce our subbing team's name: Ikoka. From now on all our subbing projects will have the Ikoka watermark. Sorry about that, I hope you don't mind it too much. Ikoka stands for ika (squid), tako (octopus) and kani (crab), and it represents each of the 3nin's favorite foods.  We'll try to sub as many episodes as possible, but since it's only two of us it may take a while. Thank you in advance for your patience! Please continue to support KAT-TUN ♡

[MAG] +act Nakamaru's Room Vol.4 (Nov 2021) guest: V6's Inohara Yoshihiko (part 2)

  Guest: Inohara Yoshihiko from V6 Nakamaru: When I think about it, it was easy to understand when I was in Jr. that our goal was to make a CD debut. If you work hard towards your goal, you will be able to surpass your limits, but after debut, your goal becomes vague. Inohara: I don't think that making a CD debut is everything now. I'd like to say that there may be other ways, but even so, making a CD debut is still very strong. I guess there's still that feeling of wanting to debut. Nakamaru: Did you have anything like that when you made your debut? Inohara: Yes, yes. When I joined the group, Hikari Genji had just debuted, and I was riding a skateboard in the background. Then SMAP debuted, and we backed them up. Next, TOKIO debuted. Matsuoka (Masahiro) and Nagase (Tomoya) joined the Johnny's office after me, so... Nakamaru: Oh, there's a little twist there. Inohara: Yeah. When Nagano-kun and I appeared on stage for the 10th anniversary of Shonentai, it was at a ven

Real Sound KAT-TUN Member Analysis Vol. 3: Nakamaru Yuichi

Nakamaru  Yuichi 's strong will to keep his beliefs unshakable. He cares about his fans more than anyone else behind his unique activities. This year marks the 15th anniversary of KAT-TUN's debut and their first appearance in the 72nd NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen. Let's take a look back at the activities and charms of each member. In KAT-TUN, Nakamaru is the most unpredictable guy, and I still can't get the full picture of him. The image that the public has of him, the Nakamaru that his fans know, and the essence of Nakamaru Yuichi all seem to be different. However, this "unknowability" may be the greatest appeal of Nakamaru. In 1998, he joined the Johnny's office on the same day as Kamenashi Kazuya. Nakamaru and Ueda Tatsuya, who is the same age as Kamenashi, participated in a game project in "The Shonen Club" (when they were in Johnny's Jr.) as the duo "Robamaru" and won the tournament. Since then, they have been established as a pairing
