Surprise? KAT-TUN’s 4th album (BtR) at #1

Yeah, right. No one is surprised I’m sure. But what’s unexpected is they managed to reach 200k. Giri giri. lol. Because looking at the dailies, many suspected it wouldn’t. I’m so happy right now *does the Berryz Koubou’s Monkey Dance*

x->1->1->1->1->1->1 – KAT-TUN – 89,677 + 59,350 + 17,603 + 10,569 + 8,622 + 8,909 = 194,730

And the real total sales is 200 220^^

<333333

Buono! on the roll!

I just wrote a long ass entry (well, not THAT long actually) about the epicness of KAT-TUN’s Break the Records album. I wish to do the same for Buono!, but my laziness outweighs my desire XDDD.

So it’s enough if I say:

MY BOY is

AWESOME!

also, the b-side of the single, Warp! is AWESOME too <333

The PV is cute. Me likey 8D

KAT-TUN 4th album (BtR), the awesomeness continues

I attempted to write a review on this album, but failed miserably. LMAO. I love listening to music, but I never really think about the song, the instrumentals too deep. It’s either I like it, or I hate it. Technicalities is not my forte.

Let’s just do what I’m good at.

*SPAZZES*

KAT-TUN never dissappoints me. Not yet anyway. And they are already on their fourth album. All the songs are so good! I love them so much. Minus the solos, which I think aren’t memorable enough (except for 1582 and PIERROT).

My absolute favourite is Moon, the bonus track in RE. Followed reeeeeally close by Sadistic Love. You think KAT-TUN is all rock-ish? But no, they have cutesy song too, like <a href=”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGSmWGFLWqM”>kimi michi. But not too cute and bubbly, just the way their fans like it. And no album is complete without a ballad, and I think NEIRO is a beautiful one.

The other tracks are addictive too. HOMG *spazzes some more*. I highly recommended this album to everyone out there.

Edit: Because the uploader told so, here’s the SS link to the album, SS. Much love to Cloud Honey@bestfiction lj.

KAT-TUN conquering the world!

Okay, the title is a bit exaggerated.

Nevertheless, they are set to make yet another record that (I can assure you) will hold for a long time, with 8 consecutive concerts in Tokyo Dome from 15-22 May, then head for Osaka for three days at Osaka Kyocera Dome then back again at Toyo Dome in mid June for three days. That makes the total of 13 shows altogether.

8DDDDDDDD

Previously they announced for 7 consecutive days in Tokyo Dome, but due to overwhelming response (the number of applicants are freaking 850 000…), papa Johnny decided to add those 6 extra shows.

8DDDDDDDD is all I can say. I’m so damn proud of them, and proud to be their fan.

KAT-TUN 4th album (Untitled)

キタ━━━━━━(゜∀゜)━━━━━━ッ!!!

Hell, yeah! I knew it. I knew they will release a new album, because of the 7 consecutive dome concerts. I’m soooo looking forward to the songs, especially the solos. I heard that Junno wrote his song *anticipates*

Also, according to this site, 6 of the song titles apart from singles are SADISTIC LOVE/NEIRO/WATER DANCE/春夏秋冬/君道/MOON

Sadistic Love? LOL, Probably Koki’s solo.

Ueda first drama role <3333

Omigod…didn’t I tell you it’s Ueda time to shine now?

When I first heard about it, I couldn’t contain my excitement. I don’t remember when was the last time I got this excited. Uebo on the roll! His Romeo role in Romeo and Juliet theatre serves to his advantage it seems. Yeah! Ueda, keep going! Me and all your fans will keep on supportung you <3

He will be taking part in Konkatsu! drama starring Nakai Masahiro (SMAP) and Ueto Aya. His role is as Nakai’s brother, and he’s a hairdresser.

Interview Disaster

Who go to an interview without taking a bath? *raises hand* LOL. No. Before you misunderstand (I bet you already have), let me explain.

My appointment with the Manager (now my boss) was the week before. But unfortunately he couldn’t come to office, si I just filled in the interview form, “interviewed” a bit (well, she was asked to) by the receptionist, then she told me they’d call me on Monday after the boss reviewd my form.

On that day at around 10 I got the call. LOL. I hadn’t expected it (though I admit, my mistake. I was already informed). I was asked if I can come immediately, so I have no choice. I reached for a clothe that had the least crease, blue in colour. My headgear (tudung) is white, with pink embroidery at the corner. Imagine. Pink and blue! I’ve officially entered a clown family.

I entered the interview room with sweat rolling on my face. He asked me, “Did you come here running?” LMAO. Ironically, I got the job. I’ve been on several interviews before, all dressed up, but the one that I’m accepted is when I was least presentable.

So guys, if you’re heading to an interview, if you want a guaranteed employment, follow me. Don’t take a bath, wear a mismatch cloth and run to the venue till you sweat like crazy. I’m sure you’ll get it. Joking XDDDDD

And oh, RESCUE PV is awesome! I’ve just DLed the making with sub, but haven’t got a chance to watch it yet ^^;;;

Ueda gettin’ it!!! (you call it meh, I call it big)

Seems like lately I’ve been blogging about KAT-TUN mostly lately (not that I’m posting here diligently). But I’ve been very lazy, and I can’t find the time to be online as much as I used to. So I chose to write about my ichiban as my priority.

I haven’t been keeping up with their schedule, so I didn’t know anything big happening apart from “One Drop”, “Rescue” and 7 days Dome concerts. So just now when I checked LJ, I was surprised to learn that Tacchan appeared in Hanamaru Cafe and Waratte iitomo.

Yeah, that’s what my 2nd part of this post’s title means. You may say…”what, it’s only guesting in variety shows. What’s the big deal?” It’s big yo. Because Tacchan is the only one in KAT-TUN who never appear in solo interview. Sooo, finally, his time has come! Yay! The chances and spotlight started from the time of his solo concert. And then he got to participate as the lead in Romeo and Juliet theater. Good for him. Grab it Tacchan, grab more spotlight all the way. You definitely deserve it!

I’ve said over and over again, but I’m going to repeat it one more time. I’m glad that other members aside from Akakame are getting more and more attention. And as you may have noticed, although the main spotlight is still Akakame, T-TUN are getting more solo lines in singles and album tracks^^

KAT-TUN is LOVE

Buono’s 2nd album, “Buono!2″ (ermm…^^;;)

Yeah, I’m greatly dissapointed. I listened to “Early Bird” preview before the full leak, and that got my liking instantly there. So my ecpectation rose 10 times more. But really, none of the track except the already epic singles and Early Bird caught my attention. Maybe it will grow on me with more listen, but since it’s not usually my case with Buono!, you can tell it’s such a let down….

I might be wrong (that goes to show how little impression this album gives me), but from the tiny bit of my memory of the songs, aren’t most of them like…ballad? or maybe slow rock? hmmm…maybe that’s why. Slow songs take forever to get stuck in my head.NOT! lol. I decided to relisten to the album, and it’s their usual rock-ish songs XD

After KAT-TUN’s One Drop PV, and now this, I learned my lesson. Don’t put expectation on anything more than necessary. Moderation is the best.
