Translation of KAT-TUN all member`s comments about Jin's hiatus. 【赤西 仁】
『心配かけてごめんなさい。
見たことのない物や、いろいろな物を吸収して成長してきます。
今までと変わらず、５人の事を応援して下さい。』
【亀梨 和也】
『この度はご心配おかけしてしまいすみません。
赤西とは電話で話したい事は話し彼の強い意志や僕が今回の事で抱いた気持ちも話しました。
KAT-TUNの一員だからこそ今回の出来事は正直僕には理解に苦しむ事もあり、逆に物凄く理解する事もあり・・・
そのなかで、僕の言いたかった事は伝わったと思います。
赤西が向こうで色々な事を学んでる間僕たちもこの世界で色々学びたいと思います。
共に成長し続けます。
どんな形でも、KAT-TUNは進化し続けなくてはいけないと思います。
皆さんの応援が必要です。 これからも温かく見守ってください。』
【田口 淳之介】
『僕は赤西くんから話を聞いた時、何の冗談を言い出すのだろうと正直呆れていました。
だけれども、本人の決意を聞いているうちに今しか出来ないことをやり通すパワーが赤西くんにはあると感じました。
僕もそんな赤西くんに負けないパワーで仕事をして帰って来た時には俺も成長したんだぞ！と胸を張って言ってあげたいです。
ファンの皆さんも淋しい気持ちは一緒だと思いますけど赤西くんがいない間も僕らが頑張るので帰ってくるのを待っていて下さいね。』
【田中 聖】
『突然のことで、大変驚いたとは思いますが、赤西自身が決断したことでもあるので、色々なことを吸収して戻って来る時まで見守って下さい。
そして、暫くは５人での活動になってしまいますが、変わらぬ応援をお願いします。』
【上田 竜也】
『皆さん本当に心配かけてごめんなさい。
驚いた方も沢山いると思います。 ふざけるなと怒ってる方もいると思います。
でもそれは将来赤西本人の役に立つことであって決して軽い気持ちで決めたのではないと思います。 そこを理解して頂けたら赤西もとても喜ぶと思います。
だから淋しいとは思うけど今以上格好良い赤西になって戻ってくるその日までちょっとの間我慢してね。 本当にごめんなさい。
Ｐ．Ｓ．俺も淋しいよ～。』
【中丸 雄一】
『一般的に考えたらこの時期に留学なんてありえないと思いましたが赤西も自分なりの考え方があって行くからには日本では得られない物をKAT-TUNに持ち帰ってきて欲しいと思っています。
そして、一番ショックだったのはファンの皆さんだと思いますが辞めるとか解散はないので堂々と胸を張って帰ってくるであろう赤西を待っていて下さい。』
Akanishi Jin
sorry for making everyone worried (yes, be VERY sorry.)
i want to see many new things, and take in many new things and grow up.
Without changing till now, please continue to support the five of them.
Kamenashi Kazuya
This time round, really sorry for making everybody worried. (no, no not your fault)
I spoke to Akanishi over the phone what we want to, his strong will this time roung, and how i felt towards the whole incident.
because as a member of KAT-TUN, the happening this time, honestly speaking, it was quite painful to understand, but yet on the other hand, it was something i could understand very well...
While Akanishi is learning over at the other side, we would like to continue to learn over here too.
to continue to grow together.
In whichever shape, KAT-TUN must continue to improve.
And we need everyone`s support. please continue to support us warmly.
Taguchi Junnosuke
When i first heard it from Akanishi, i thought what kinda joke was this and was frankly, stunned. But while hearing his decision, i felt the power of Akanishi, who was doing what he want to now while he can.
Not wanting to lose to Akanishi, I will continue to put in my energy in my work, and when he returns, i want to be able to puff out my chest and say proudly that I grew up too!
I am sure the lonliness all of you fans feel is the same, but even when Akanishi isnt around, we will caontinue to workl hard, so please do wait for him to return.
Tanaka Kouki
It was a very sudden decision and i am sure everyone got a bad shock, but this was what Akanishi himself decided on, and till the time he comes back from going to learn many things, please continue to watch over him. And in the meanwhile, the five of us will continue to work hard, please continue to support us unchangingly as always
Ueda Tatsuya
Really sorry for making everyone worried
I am sure there are alot of you who are really shocked, and there are definitely some who are angry and screaming at him to `stop playing a fool`. But this is a decision he made which would be of an advantage to Akanishi himself as a person, and definitely not something he came to the conclusion lightly. If everyone could understand this, I am sure Akanishi would be really happy too. That`s why I am sure everyone would lonely but till the day a even more Kakkoii Akanishi comes back, please hold on in there for awhile. Really sorry.
PS: i am lonely too</b>~~.
Nakamaru Yuuichi
Thinking normally, to go aborad to study at this timing is ridiculous, but Akanishi himself has his own set of thinking, and since he is going, i want him to go and bring back something he cant find in japan and back to KAT-TUN.
Of course the one who are in the biggest shock are all of you, the fans. BUT there is no quitting or disbanding, so puff out your chest and till the day Akanishi comes back, please do wait for him.

Ueda Tatsuya - KAT-TUN!!!
Like Jin, Tat-chan has a sense of stubbornness in his personality traits. If he says or does something, he would stick to it no matter what other people has to say. Like when he was imitating gackt's style of clothing by having spikes and curly blonde hair, he never cared what other people thought of him [although he decided his own style's more important and is getting prettier by the second]
Tat-chan is often seen as the "cool" type, but also quite playful at times. He'd stand aside and watch the rest of KAT-TUN play their game of randomness [or it seems..xD], though that's just what he wanted to leave an impression of, but in natural fact, wasn't.
The first time Tat-chan and Jin met, Jin sees Tat-chan as a senpai, and Tat-chan thinks Jin is a very cool guy. Seven years passed, they've fought, they've argued, yet they've discovered the real characters of each other during these times.
Tat-chan would say, we really have a lot in common. In New York, our destinations are almost the same, and we'd do the same things not realizing it. He would call Jin to ask about his style, and take his new clothing to Jin and see how he thinks of it.
Jin would say, Ueda's a really my pace kind of guy. If he settled with his own ideas, he wouldn't change them, that's just like me. He would say that he always wanted to pull Ueda back from the other world he's in, and left messages like "I LOVE YOU BABY" in magazine interviews.
Tat-chan once mentioned, the degree of him liking the person or not depends on the amount of kaomonji's he uses. As he likes the person, the kaomonji's would increase too. Jin then interrupted by saying no wonder there's so many kaomonji's in the mails Tat-chan sent him. Tat-chan denies and asks if he wanted to see proof from his mailing history? So Jin asked back if he wanted to see his instead?
To us, no matter if it's the Tat-chan who believed in fairies, or the Tat-chan who loves money, or the Tat-chan who laughed weirdly when he ate good food, or the Tat-chan whom abused his fellow team mates because he's S[...], he is the leader, Ueda Tatsuya, and the irreplaceable U in KAT-TUN.
ドンドンドン 太鼓の音が鳴り腐る
夏の始まりだ
ボクは恋をした
相手はモチロン有香チャンだ
有限会社の有に 蚊取り線香の香で 有香だ
ボクは恋をした
あの日 あの体育の授業
有香チャンは走り幅跳びの練習をしていた
あの跳ぶ瞬間の顔
飛ぶ瞬間のもものプルプル
笑えたもんだ
それを見て嘔吐するさとこチャンに胸を撃たれた
ボクは恋をした
ボクの名前は上田竜也 ２２歳
初めて気づいた ボクは天才だ タイヤ交換
そのうちに世界に名を轟かせるだろう
世界に名を轟かせたい
轟かせたらイイな
いいや 一人でもボクの名前を知ってくれれば
ボクは天才だ タイヤ交換
Rough translation of the poem Jin wrote for Tat-chan:
Don don don
The sound of the drum sounding irritating
Summer has begun
I'm in love
Of course she is Yuka-chan
"Yu" from "Yuugen kaisha" and "ka" from "katori senkou"
Yuka
I'm in love
That day, During the subject of sports
Yuka-chan was practicing for running long jump
The sudden of her face when she jumped
The moment of her legs shaking
Quite funny
At this time my heart was captured by the laughing Satoko-chan
I'm in love
My name is Ueda Tatsuya, 22 years old
First time realizing
I'm a genius, knows how to change tires
Let my name be known to the world at this time
I want to be known to the world
If only I could be known to the world
No, even only one more person to know my name
I'm a genius, knows how to change tires

So here is 30 Questions to Ueda from DUET 05/10
credit: izukura
But before! xD I want to take back Ueda's statement he could see faires xD Some already know but I want that everyone knows it already xD so here's a small translation to it:
From mezamashi 2006.03.23
They are introducing the members and what kind of image they have like kame is a baseball freak etc xD
First they called him "妖精が見える天然キャプテン" like..."A naturly captain who can see fairies"
then he said: 3 years ago I blured that out because i was caught up in the moment, and that spread out like BAAM( lol dunno how to say xD) ),I don't even see faries
Mod: You don't see them anymore?
so they changed it to:
"妖精が見えない天然キャプテン" (same just "..who can't see...")
Then Ueda said: liar Ueda is also okay.
I let out the parts where the members said somethingx DD just wanted to do this generally xD
now to my translation xD:
like everytime, I'm neither a native speaker of english nor of japanese, I'm just a 14-years old girl without hobbies bla blubb there coulöd be like3287492837 mistakes, feel free to help me :3 or more, Please help me! I want to improve my english( and keep my A T_T) and my japanese~

Just to remind you xD some of you thought it was a new interview~ not it's from OCTOBER 2005
[translation] 24hr Terebi - Jin's letter (part 1)
Announcer: Actually, this time Akanishi-kun has a written a letter to all the members.
Jin: Well, I tried writing something called "My Own Bonds" and made it into a letter.
Announcer: Will you read it for us?
Jin: Yes. [to staff member] Ah, excuse me.
I’d like to read "My Own Bonds".
First of all, there’s a place for me called "my family". My father, mother, little brother, and the guys I think of as brothers - the people who support me – I think the me before your eyes is here because I have such a family.
Through this year’s 24 Hour Television, I felt the importance of connections between human beings and of grateful feelings towards others. So I want everyone here to feel the importance of my connections with the people I love.
The other members help me, of course. Kamenashi – during the drama Gokusen I didn’t know any of the other actors, but because Kamenashi was there on the site, I really was saved. Koki – no matter when, he shows me the same smiling face and high spirits, which always helps me. Ueda – we fought a lot, but he actually looks everything the most calmly. I think he’s an amazing guy who can do the things I can’t. Taguchi – Taguchi is, well, he likes games and does nothing but play them, but, that earnest cheerfulness really spreads to us. Nakamaru – out of all of us, I think he might be the one who cares about the other members the most. Please keep that kind heart forever.
I think everyone has different kinds of experiences here, and there are painful things, sad things – but for every time you cry, there’s a smile waiting. That’s how I live.
To the everyone on the staff who made this possible and everyone who was a part of this, thank you very much. And also, everyone in KAT-TUN, my beloved family, you really are a help to me. Thank you.
Akanishi Jin
[translation] 24hr Terebi - Jin's letter (part 2)
And here are KT-TUN’s reactions to Jin's letter. Not much to say except awwww. ♥
Announcer: Akanishi-kun wrote this for us in secret. Koki-kun, how was it?
Koki: Um, that kind of – he's never spoken so seriously. [everyone laughs] I felt kind of like "Oh, so that's how he was seeing me."
Announcer: How do you see Akanishi-kun?
Koki: What?
Announcer: How do you see Akanishi-kun?
Koki: Ah, he’s helped me incredibly. I see several different sides of him.
Announcer: I see. Nakamaru-kun.
Nakamaru: No, although it's been 8 years since I first met Akanishi, it's almost like I just met him again. I've never been told anything in a way like this letter, so I was incredibly touched. Yes.
Announcer: Ueda-kun.
Ueda: Yeah, I feel like we were able to hear Akanishi's true thoughts. If you think about it, we do fight the most, don't we. Even so we became good friends. Right? I think we were hearing something from the bottom of his heart.
Announcer: Juukanji. Juuchan. Taguchi-kun. *
Junno: Akanishi is the one I've been hanging out with for the longest since I entered the jimusho, so of course he's really been a support to me, too. That's what it's been like up until now, and from here on, I'd like to be able to always keep going hand in hand.
Announcer: The one who was mentioned first, Kamenashi.
Kame: With Akanishi, there's several... No matter what we're doing, we face it together and share experiences. It happens a lot. Akanishi and I really expose our weaknesses to each other. When it gets down to the wire, in emergencies, I always talk with him, I think. Even though a lot has happened recently, in the end, he's been talking with me... Well, for a long time we’ve been together a lot, and so from now on, as we encourage each other, I'd like to be able to go on firmly building up this relationship.
Announcer: These are good bonds KAT-TUN has with each other.
Announcer: Actually, this time Akanishi-kun has a written a letter to all the members.
Jin: Well, I tried writing something called "My Own Bonds" and made it into a letter.
Announcer: Will you read it for us?
Jin: Yes. [to staff member] Ah, excuse me.

I think he’s an amazing guy who can do the things I can’t. Taguchi – Taguchi is, well, he likes games and does nothing but play them, but, that earnest cheerfulness really spreads to us. Nakamaru – out of all of us, I think he might be the one who cares about the other members the most. Please keep that kind heart forever.
I think everyone has different kinds of experiences here, and there are painful things, sad things – but for every time you cry, there’s a smile waiting. That’s how I live.
To the everyone on the staff who made this possible and everyone who was a part of this, thank you very much. And also, everyone in KAT-TUN, my beloved family, you really are a help to me. Thank you.
Akanishi Jin
[translation] 24hr Terebi - Jin's letter (part 2)
And here are KT-TUN’s reactions to Jin's letter. Not much to say except awwww. ♥
Announcer: Akanishi-kun wrote this for us in secret. Koki-kun, how was it?
Koki: Um, that kind of – he's never spoken so seriously. [everyone laughs] I felt kind of like "Oh, so that's how he was seeing me."
Announcer: How do you see Akanishi-kun?
Koki: What?
Announcer: How do you see Akanishi-kun?
Koki: Ah, he’s helped me incredibly. I see several different sides of him.
Announcer: I see. Nakamaru-kun.
Nakamaru: No, although it's been 8 years since I first met Akanishi, it's almost like I just met him again. I've never been told anything in a way like this letter, so I was incredibly touched. Yes.
Announcer: Ueda-kun.
Ueda: Yeah, I feel like we were able to hear Akanishi's true thoughts. If you think about it, we do fight the most, don't we. Even so we became good friends. Right? I think we were hearing something from the bottom of his heart.
Announcer: Juukanji. Juuchan. Taguchi-kun. *
Junno: Akanishi is the one I've been hanging out with for the longest since I entered the jimusho, so of course he's really been a support to me, too. That's what it's been like up until now, and from here on, I'd like to be able to always keep going hand in hand.
Announcer: The one who was mentioned first, Kamenashi.
Kame: With Akanishi, there's several... No matter what we're doing, we face it together and share experiences. It happens a lot. Akanishi and I really expose our weaknesses to each other. When it gets down to the wire, in emergencies, I always talk with him, I think. Even though a lot has happened recently, in the end, he's been talking with me... Well, for a long time we’ve been together a lot, and so from now on, as we encourage each other, I'd like to be able to go on firmly building up this relationship.
Announcer: These are good bonds KAT-TUN has with each other.

Nakamaru Yuichi
Recently, I went shopping with a friend, and on the wall in front of Omotesandô Hills there was a giant KAT-TUN poster. I was so happy, I immediately took a photo with my mobile. And two photos, the whole scene plus a close-up, on top! *laughs* After that we went to see a movie, and in the first scene of the movie there was the big crossing in Shibuya. And there was a KAT-TUN poster too. Isn't it amazing that our poster appears on a street in a movie!? Somehow, two of those coincidences on one day scared me a bit.
Together with Ueda I went on an onsen trip for a day. Onsen make you feel really warm, don't they. On the way back, I was still feeling hot, even when I came back home, my face was all red. Onsen are really something, they warm you up from the core of your body... and while I thought that, I didn't cool down even though it was night then. What's this!? And I was feeling kind of exhausted too!? I took my temperature and had 37,6°C [AN: For japanese people, this is regarded as quite high.] Somehow I managed to catch a cold at the onsen. *laughs* I got that by myself.
Yesterday, I suddenly got a mail from my younger sister, "Sorry, I lost the watch." When I asked, "Eh? Watch? What's this about?", she confessed that she had taken my favourite watch without asking me and lost it on top of that... So I answered very nicely, "Forget about the watch, but only enter my room if you have permission to." Well, I get along great with my younger sister, but there have to be restrictions for coming into my room. *laughs*
For "24 hours TV", we were so lucky to be able to do a collaboration with Ghibli and make a T-shirt! I'm such a Ghibli fan, it's like "Ghibli = Nakamaru" in my own thoughts. Really, it's a dream of mine to one day be able to voice-act in a Ghibli movie.
Kamenashi Kazuya
What made me happy recently was the day my job ended at 8 p.m. Since it had been ages that I got off so early, I went out to eat with friends. I always eat cold bentô at work, so I was very happy that I could eat a warm meal. Speaking of meals, I got a call from Namase Katsuhisa-san who also played in Gokusen [AN: He played the head teacher with the funny hairstyle. *g*] and was invited to eat nabe at his house. But at first, when I picked up the phone, I didn't know who it was, so I rudely said "Who's there?" Shame on me, I'm really useless. Nakama Yukie-san came to Namase-san's house, too, I enjoyed talking to her after such a long time. And the kimchi nabe Namase-san's wife made was very tasty.
What pisses me off recently is when I see adults who do their jobs as if they were automatons, without really caring. I'm also very busy, but I make sure to do my job right. I end up saying "If you feel like this about your job, wouldn't it be better for you to quit?" When I see something like that, if I don't say anything about it, it becomes stress for me personally, and after I've said it, things will gradually improve, I think. Maybe. *laughs* But people probably think of me as obnoxious brat. *laughs*
My head is full with the special dorama for "24 hour television". It's a true story about a boy who is the eighth person in the world to contract this serious illness. Since there exist only eight precedents, the disease doesn't have a name. You lose your sight and apparently your face changes too. In my role, I just play the part of losing my eyesight though. I think to do this role justice, I have to really get into the disease and the main character. But I haven't read a bit of the original work. I didn't want to hold any strange preconceptions. I think this role is very difficult, but even just because of that, it holds merit, so I'm doing my best for this dorama right now.
Ueda Tatsuya
Recently when I had a day off, I went to Nasushiobara together with Nakamaru on a one day onsen trip! There happened so many things, where should I start!? Ah, from taking the train I hadn't taken for half a year. We had decided that Nakamaru would drive to Nasushiobara, but he said "It's a bother to go pick you up, so take the train to my house." But I thought, "What will I do if someone discovers on the train that I'm KAT-TUN!?" and was really nervous, drawing my cap deep into my face, looking around inconspicuously...But of course not a single person noticed. *laughs*
Then we arrived. We had gone all this way to Nasushiobara, but for some reason we went into a conbini and a video rental store. After that, we found a game center, but even though I said "We've come here on a special occasion, so a game center is surely out of the question.", without listening Nakamaru drove into the next parking lot... we stayed there until five in the evening. *laughs* We went into ourselves and decided to first get omiyage and bought cheese and raw ham at an omiyage shop. Next we decided "Let's eat!" and since we've come all the way here, let's eat the regional soba. We searched and searched, but there was nothing in the guide book, and finally without finding a restaurant... In the end, we went to a family restaurant that also exists in Tokyo. *laughs* When we were done eating, it was already seven, and the fresh things we had bought at the omiyage shop would go bad after six hours, so we had to go home soon. *laughs* Well, in the end we found a one day onsen, managed to get into it somehow, but that was quite the stressful day. *laughs*
Since Nakamaru had driven on the way to Nasushiobara, I drove on the way back, but when I glanced over to him on the way, he was sleeping like a log. And here I had stayed awake for him during the two and a half hours to Nasushiobara even though I was really sleepy... That's really unbelievable, isn't it. *laughs*
Tanaka Kôki
Yesterday I remade my sneakers. On the white leather, I drew sakura flowers and around the brand logo I put 1mm Swarowski glitter stones. That's why I didn't sleep today. *laughs* I thought "I'll do it as far as I can." and it took 11 hours. The reason why I chose sakura flowers as motive is because they are the heart of the japanese, because I'm japanese. Among my friends there is someone who remakes sneakers professionally, and he developped a special ink for drawing on leather, he even owns a patent for it. Since I was able to borrow some ink from him, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm still adding color and it will take another two or three days until they are finished, but I think the result will be quite satisfying.
What surprised me lately is how serious Tegoshi Yûya-kun, who also acts in the dorama, takes me being his senpai. *laughs* When I arrive on the set, I greet him with an " 'sup", but he answers "Ohayô gozaimasu!" At the production press conference he also gave very thoughtful comments. It's the kind of atmosphere where I feel I can't just take it easy. In reality I wanted to do so. *laughs* Even when I talked to him, he always used keigo (very polite japanese) When we're together I think "Have I really deserved that?" and my heart starts to hurt. *laughs* Hey, it's my ninth year in the jimusho. I'm the perfect leader, right? *laughs* I understand that you use keigo when talking to a senpai, but I wish Tegoshi-kun would be a little more open with me.
I just said it, but it's already been nine years since I entered Johnny's. I belong to the backbone of the company. I'm doing my best job-wise, during concerts I wave at people with a huge smile, but still I haven't been voted "The person I want as my lover" on rank 1. *laughs* I always just take first place on rankings like "Is strong in fights". I'm the last idol of the century? The "Last Idol"? *laughs*
Taguchi Junnosuke
I cut my hair! Well, only my front bangs a little. Because when you play billiard, you bow down and look up. So when your hair falls into your eyes it gets hard to see. Thanks to cutting my hair, my billiard condition is quite good recently! Oh yeah, at the moment I want a new cue. I got the one I use at the moment from Yonehana Tsuyoshi-kun as a present, but it's about time I move one rank up. After all, you want the thickness of the grip to fit your hand. But cues, there are expensive ones which cost 500 000 yen. But well, those are more for collectors to buy. A player like me uses something practical, so I'm not looking for one of those. At the moment I'm in the middle of thinking which one to buy.
Have you all watched the World Cup? I met with six friends of mine in a restaurant we often go to and watched at least all the Japan games in real time! We got really into it, it was a lot of fun. When I had the time, I also watched the other games, so for a while I didn't get enough sleep. The Japan games were a given, of course, but individually I'm a fan of the french player Tierry Henry. I cheered for him the whole time, it was really a pity that they lost the final game.
Lately, I'm playing against Ueda a lot, a game we both bought. It's a kind of investment game. Simply put, you try to raise the cash of your shops and whoever gets rich fastest wins. To be honest, Ueda is really good at this, I haven't won even once. *cries* It's like everytime he comes up with something even nastier. *laughs* I can't fight back like that. But next time I'm gonna win for sure, whenever I have free time, I practice.
Akanishi Jin
Yesterday, my job ended in the evening so I went to Shibuya to go shopping. Since it's been a long time that it ended so early, I bought a lot of everyday things that I thought I needed. All practical stuff like cleaning tools, cases to put small things into, only things like that. *laughs* After that, I also bought a suspense movie DVD I had wanted for a long time. After I came home, I immediately watched it, it was very interesting.
Talking about shopping, there's one more thing. During "Gokusen", I wore a necklace with a pendant in the form of a woman, and I found myself liking it a lot. Recently I happened to find a similar one. I bought it immediately without thinking twice and have been wearing it for a long time now.
It's really summer now. Somehow I thought I want to change my hairstyle, summer-like. I have my own style in mind, the hair length as it is with a soft perm, but I'm still hesitating. I have the feeling summer will be over before I'm done with thinking. *laughs*
Recently, I went out to eat with five male friends of mine. Before I noticed, we had spent three hours talking about indecent topics like primary schoolers. I laughed about so much nonsense. But to spend time like this, talking about stupid things with my friends, is what I love most, and my stress disappears. Yeah, I'm often such a kid, but lately I sometimes wonder if I have become an adult, if it feels as if I've become mild-mannered. For example, before when one of the members drank my juice without asking, I exploded *laughs*, but I'm completely fine with it now. ... is this simply the change into an "ossan"!? I'm worried. *laughs*

Translation 14.09.03 SC
Pi: Let's introduce the next segment
Hina: Yes, next up is "Big Matters, Small Matters, Things you want to say".
Hina: Sa, we have invited many juniors. This segment is for you to say whatever you want to. Yes, if you have anything youd like to say, please say it. Hai, lets start. Will the person whose name is called please go up to the stage. Sa, first up ... who do you want to talk to? First, there's something to say to Nakamaru-kun!
Hina: "Why are you always late? By Tanaka Koki" Sa, what do you have to say about Koki's words? Nakamaru-kun.
Maru: eh? Didn't I have an agreement with him before? He's late too!
Koki: I wasn't late. I just woke up a little later.
Hina: You, you're the same! Ja, Nakamaru-kun, please take note of this in the future.
Maru: Hai, from now on I'll take note of this.
Hina: Ja, let us all work hard towards not being late and affecting our work. Sa, let's continue. Next is what you want to say to Kamenashi Kazuya! What do you want to say to Kamenashi-kun himself? "Don't always touch other people's butt. This is really unbecoming. By Ueda Tatsuya."
Kame: Don't say this kind of things!
Hina: Sa, "always touching people's butt", Kame how do you explain this?
Kame: That's because Ueda's butt is very small and it feels pretty good to touch.
Hina: You're a pervert!
Kame: It's not like that!
Hina: What do you mean?
Kame: During performances, my left hand will be holding the mic and the right hand will feel lonely
Hina: Eh? You're touching throughout the performance?
Kame: Instead of saying "touch", it's more like an accidental bump.
Hina: Sa. What does Ueda have to say. Why have your lips turned white??
Ueda: I remember now, he keeps touching me like this every time [Ueda demonstrates XDDDD]
Hina: You didn't have to do that! You didn't have to demonstrate!
Kame: It's not like that! [Kame's expression is so adorable!]
Hina: Not like that? Then what is it like?
Kame: I don't touch like that!
Hina: ok, you don't have to demonstrate it with your hands.
Kame: When we're doing our moves on stage, "pa-ching", just a bump!
Hina: It's the same either way. So Ueda-kun has got to be careful and avoid being touched! Please return colour to your lips. And Kame must take note of this from now on.
Kame: Ok, I'll take note.
Next is a group called KKKitty. I skipped their part but if anyone is interested, feel free to request and I'll translate. It's pretty cute too. So sorry, but I have no idea who's in KKKitty so ... I use XYZ to represent them! Translation up and now I know their names!
Hina: This has become a strange segment. Let's continue. Next is a card for Kato from KKK.
[Look carefully and you'll see Kame attacking Ueda's butt as the guy from KKK runs up onto stage.]
Hina: "Please don't be so intimate with strangers on trains. You can lean on me too. By Kusano". Kato-kun, what kind of situation is this?
Kusano: For example, Hina you are the passenger and I am Shige. Initially we are both looking in front, as per normal but later he ends up [leaning on the passenger and snoring]. I will feel lonely.
Hina: Any explanation for this?
Kato: I must sleep when I'm on the train. I really want to sleep because I'm too tired so I will fall asleep no matter what I'm leaning on.
?: What if you meet an “akan” (ok, hope I didn't catch this wrongly. Referring to strange men that go round groping people on trains.)
Hina: So please don't get intimate with people so easily!
Kato: Hai, I'll take note in the future.
= = =
Pi: Thanks everyone. [Pi starts rambling] Hmm, everyone has said a lot huh, as for me, hmm, what is there to say ... so da na, so ka, so ... I went to Jin's house and we had a meal together. I really like that tanshou [anyone knows what kind of food this is?] so I planned on eating it last, wanting to enjoy the happiness of eating my favourite food at the last bite. Then I went to watch something interesting on TV. When I turned back, I discovered that the food I wanted to eat is gone! My tanshou has disappeared. No more, where has it gone? I realize that it seems to be in your mouth. Really, isn't this a thief?
Yes, that's how it was. Sorry, seems like I'm complaining.
[Pi then introduces KAT-TUN's medley]
= = =
Kame: Just now, we, uh, not 'we', it's actually Akanishi. Yamashita wrote Jin a card. It was a card but actually it was full of complains. (probably referring to Yamapi's 'soliloquy ' ealier)
Jin: Speaking of which, I was out driving with Yamapi once and we stopped by a convenience store to buy coffee.
Kame: ah, coffee? Bitter ne?
Jimmy: Men (does he mean it's manly to drive black coffee? Not too sure)
Kame: Black coffee?
Jin: No, we added some sugar. After we bought the coffee, I said "Let's go" (Kame said something about the wiper but it wasn't translated and I can't quite catch it either). Then when I started the car, he spilt all the coffee in the car.
Kame: I know, Jin probably started the car too quickly.
Jin: No, I started very nicely! Even I thought it was great.
Jimmy: you're lying, definitely lying.
Jin: Really, even I was surprised.
Jimmy: I don't even dare to sit in your car when you drive. I can't be assured at all.
Kame: Yamapi must have been very nervous.
Jin: But guess what was Pi's excuse? "Ah, the earth's gravity is really powerful today!"
Jimmy: Haha, gravity. That's clever.
Kame: So, it's this Yamapi that brings us very cool programmes.
[Akame moment!]
Pi: Let's introduce the next segment
Hina: Yes, next up is "Big Matters, Small Matters, Things you want to say".
Hina: Sa, we have invited many juniors. This segment is for you to say whatever you want to. Yes, if you have anything youd like to say, please say it. Hai, lets start. Will the person whose name is called please go up to the stage. Sa, first up ... who do you want to talk to? First, there's something to say to Nakamaru-kun!
Hina: "Why are you always late? By Tanaka Koki" Sa, what do you have to say about Koki's words? Nakamaru-kun.
Maru: eh? Didn't I have an agreement with him before? He's late too!
Koki: I wasn't late. I just woke up a little later.
Hina: You, you're the same! Ja, Nakamaru-kun, please take note of this in the future.
Maru: Hai, from now on I'll take note of this.
Hina: Ja, let us all work hard towards not being late and affecting our work. Sa, let's continue. Next is what you want to say to Kamenashi Kazuya! What do you want to say to Kamenashi-kun himself? "Don't always touch other people's butt. This is really unbecoming. By Ueda Tatsuya."
Kame: Don't say this kind of things!
Hina: Sa, "always touching people's butt", Kame how do you explain this?
Kame: That's because Ueda's butt is very small and it feels pretty good to touch.
Hina: You're a pervert!
Kame: It's not like that!
Hina: What do you mean?
Kame: During performances, my left hand will be holding the mic and the right hand will feel lonely
Hina: Eh? You're touching throughout the performance?
Kame: Instead of saying "touch", it's more like an accidental bump.
Hina: Sa. What does Ueda have to say. Why have your lips turned white??
Ueda: I remember now, he keeps touching me like this every time [Ueda demonstrates XDDDD]
Hina: You didn't have to do that! You didn't have to demonstrate!
Kame: It's not like that! [Kame's expression is so adorable!]
Hina: Not like that? Then what is it like?
Kame: I don't touch like that!
Hina: ok, you don't have to demonstrate it with your hands.
Kame: When we're doing our moves on stage, "pa-ching", just a bump!
Hina: It's the same either way. So Ueda-kun has got to be careful and avoid being touched! Please return colour to your lips. And Kame must take note of this from now on.
Kame: Ok, I'll take note.
Next is a group called KKKitty. I skipped their part but if anyone is interested, feel free to request and I'll translate. It's pretty cute too. So sorry, but I have no idea who's in KKKitty so ... I use XYZ to represent them! Translation up and now I know their names!
Hina: This has become a strange segment. Let's continue. Next is a card for Kato from KKK.
[Look carefully and you'll see Kame attacking Ueda's butt as the guy from KKK runs up onto stage.]
Hina: "Please don't be so intimate with strangers on trains. You can lean on me too. By Kusano". Kato-kun, what kind of situation is this?
Kusano: For example, Hina you are the passenger and I am Shige. Initially we are both looking in front, as per normal but later he ends up [leaning on the passenger and snoring]. I will feel lonely.
Hina: Any explanation for this?
Kato: I must sleep when I'm on the train. I really want to sleep because I'm too tired so I will fall asleep no matter what I'm leaning on.
?: What if you meet an “akan” (ok, hope I didn't catch this wrongly. Referring to strange men that go round groping people on trains.)
Hina: So please don't get intimate with people so easily!
Kato: Hai, I'll take note in the future.
= = =
Pi: Thanks everyone. [Pi starts rambling] Hmm, everyone has said a lot huh, as for me, hmm, what is there to say ... so da na, so ka, so ... I went to Jin's house and we had a meal together. I really like that tanshou [anyone knows what kind of food this is?] so I planned on eating it last, wanting to enjoy the happiness of eating my favourite food at the last bite. Then I went to watch something interesting on TV. When I turned back, I discovered that the food I wanted to eat is gone! My tanshou has disappeared. No more, where has it gone? I realize that it seems to be in your mouth. Really, isn't this a thief?
Yes, that's how it was. Sorry, seems like I'm complaining.
[Pi then introduces KAT-TUN's medley]
= = =
Kame: Just now, we, uh, not 'we', it's actually Akanishi. Yamashita wrote Jin a card. It was a card but actually it was full of complains. (probably referring to Yamapi's 'soliloquy ' ealier)
Jin: Speaking of which, I was out driving with Yamapi once and we stopped by a convenience store to buy coffee.
Kame: ah, coffee? Bitter ne?
Jimmy: Men (does he mean it's manly to drive black coffee? Not too sure)
Kame: Black coffee?
Jin: No, we added some sugar. After we bought the coffee, I said "Let's go" (Kame said something about the wiper but it wasn't translated and I can't quite catch it either). Then when I started the car, he spilt all the coffee in the car.
Kame: I know, Jin probably started the car too quickly.
Jin: No, I started very nicely! Even I thought it was great.
Jimmy: you're lying, definitely lying.
Jin: Really, even I was surprised.
Jimmy: I don't even dare to sit in your car when you drive. I can't be assured at all.
Kame: Yamapi must have been very nervous.
Jin: But guess what was Pi's excuse? "Ah, the earth's gravity is really powerful today!"
Jimmy: Haha, gravity. That's clever.
Kame: So, it's this Yamapi that brings us very cool programmes.
[Akame moment!]
Duet September 2006 KAT-TUN Secret Face
We pissed each other off. ...That's why we became good friends.
KAT-TUN Secret Face
Akanishi Jin & Ueda Tatsuya Talk Session
When did you two meet?
Jin: I met Ueda for the first time at the time of 8J (8ji da J). That was the first time I saw him at all, by the way. Really, before we became KAT-TUN, I had barely spoken to him.
Ueda: I became a Jr. before Jin, around four months later Akanishi entered Johnny's. At the moment I saw him I thought: "Ah, he's gonna sell."
Akanishi: Heee, what was so good about me? Did I have a kind of aura as if I'd sell? *laughs*
Ueda: You didn't have any aura at all. *laughs* But I thought you had a good face. You know, I can tell who's gonna sell. *laughs*
Jin: That's an incredible talent. *laughs* Oh yeah, back then I thought that Ueda was a senpai at the level of Tackey. *laughs*
Ueda: What's that, age? Do you mean to say I looked old!? How rude. *laughs* That's right, at the time we became KAT-TUN, Akanishi looked at me and laughed "Fufu..." That felt really bad.
Jin: Eh, I didn't do that. I can't remember that at all.
Ueda: And right after we became KAT-TUN, Akanishi said "I don't want us to become KAT-TUN!", and for some reason he looked in my direction when he said that. I thought 'Even if he looks good, this is too much.'
Jin: Ahaha, Ueda, that's a misunderstanding! It's true that I didn't feel so great about working as KAT-TUN, but not because of Ueda or anything. *laughs*
The two of you get along well now, what was the opportunity which led to you becoming friends?
Jin: I don't know about a special opportunity, but I got closer to Ueda when I learned about his good points. I like that he is someone who has his own world.
Ueda: I envy Akanishi for his freedom in doing things. He does what he wants to do. I want to charge forward like this.
Do you have shared interests?
Jin: I wonder... Maybe our musicality is similar. I listen to all kinds of music with no regards to genre, so it's not a specific genre, but when I recommend a song to him that I like, Ueda also likes it.
Ueda: That's true. I often listen to traditional japanese rock, while Akanishi also listens to a lot of western music. I like most songs he recommends to me. We wrote the song "Butterfly" for our debut album together, and if we have the opportunity, I'd like us to work on a song together again.
Jin: Un. Last time, we adopted most of my ideas, so next time I'll try to hold back. *laughs* Then something new will emerge, I think that'll be interesting.
Do you spend private time together?
Ueda: We go out to a restaurant together, but we don't really spend time together with just the two of us. Recently, Nakamaru was with us too.
Jin: At that time, we went to a Hormonyakiya (hormon = broiled (pieces of) pig innards (on skewers)), the food was very tasty.
Ueda: The Motsu Nabe there is the best. You really feel great when you eat something great.
Jin: Let's go there again next time.
By the way, if the two of you should compare the other to an animal, what would that be?
Jin: Humans all most resemble apes, in the end. *laughs* Ah, but, Ueda is like a cat. His character and such. He always changes suddenly, even when you think that now you've got him figured out, you realize you haven't got him at all. That feeling reminds me of a cat.
Ueda: Akanishi is a wild pig! Because he's someone who charges straight forward.
Finally - please tell us a secret that only you know!
Ueda: U~n, what might that be!? Is there anything like that?
Jin: It's supposed to be a secret, isn't it, ah!! There is one, but... I can't say that. *laughs*
Ueda: Well, a secret is a secret after all.
Jin: Something like that, yeah. *laughs*

Q Is it true that you`re (Ueda-kun) very kind towards your Jr. kouhai?
A Why do you know! You`re all so observant (laugh). Of course I`m kind towards my kouhai. I get along the most with A.B.C. I`m like A.B.C.`s guardian. During concert rehearsals I`ll take them out for meals or get take away for them.
Q Totsuka-kun from A.B.C. said that “Ueda-kun saved me with his magic”, but can you use magic? (laugh)
A This was when we were doing “SUMMARY”. Totsuu nearly tripped on stage, but he said that my magic stopped him! (laugh) So Totsuu`s convinced that “Ueda-san helped me!”…It`s clearly a sign of his loyalty to me. Any questions? (laugh)
Q Becoming polite and dying your hair black, you (Ueda-kun) changed your character a lot, but aren`t you going back to your cool character?
A If you want me to go back I will! Being cool, you don`t have to speak much so it`s easy there, but you can`t laugh and you have to say cool things. I personally quite like the polite character. But it`s not too popular within my fans. I think the black hair is pure and I like it myself.
Q Is your (Ueda-kun) best friend Nakamaru-kun? You seem to always be with Jin-kun…
A This you see, Ueda-kun`s the one that `s attracted to me. I think he`s trying to steal some tact from me. I don`t blame him (by Akanishi). No no The other day Jin came and hugged ME! And truthfully, I don`t like Nakamaru-kun (laugh). But because Nakamaru-kun likes me I let him go shopping with me. Oh, the other day Nakamaru and I were talking about going for a Hokkaidou trip! So yes, to sum it up I`m good friends with both Nakamaru and Jin v
Q You (Ueda-kun) said on “Za Shounen Club” that you used to be called “The angel dancer”. Is this true?
A Well my dances are as elegant as the angels. Should I call it charisma? (laugh). Really it was a name I made up (laugh). But from now on with my sweet voice, I`ll continue singing as an `Angel singer`.
KAT-TUN - 20 girigiri choice questions, "If..." translation
Source: DUET 0306

Warning: Some might be off so please don't take things too seriously if you find something too weird to believe..though I suppose most of these are correct.
1. You wake up in the morning and discovered that you've became a girl!! What would you do?
Kame: Put on a perfect make-up. Then, go on the streets and be like "look at me~!"
Jin: Thinking, I'm probably still dreaming, so go back to sleep. Then, if I'm still a girl when I wake up again, I'll just go to work normally! (laugh)
Junno: Sleep again! Wouldn't you be too shocked to get up? Don't want anyone to see me like this~ Maybe I can return to normal once I sleep again!? Thinking that, I'd sleep again.
Koki: Go somewhere that girls would hangout. Sort of like Lady'sのshop, buy cute belts and stuff.
Ueda: Anyways, dress up really sexy, make men fall for me! Then, walk along Shibuya street, and receive attention from different types of people (laugh)
Maru: Do what girls would do. Like, wearing a short skirt and go shopping.
2. You've been told you only have 1 year to live, what would you do for the rest of your life?
Kame: Try my hardest to debut!
Jin: Live normally the first 11 months, then do whatever I want in the last month! After that, I want a really cool "funeral party" [...Jin sure thinks differently=v=]
Junno: Try things I've never tried before. Like appearing on DUET magazine cover alone, publish my own books and stuff. Until the end, I'd still want to work.
Koki: Act normally. Because, now might be my most grateful moments. Though I would like to try really manly occupations. Construction workers seems cool.
Ueda: Spend it with my beloved one.
Maru: Sing with Class kids [? No idea] I can't!? Well I'll use my time efficiently. Sleep early and wake up early! I'm trying to accomplish that right now.
3. The one magic spell you would like to choose?
Kame:
Jin: Make fireballs from the palm of your hand! Like dragonball.
Junno: Make the refrigerator be filled with pudding and yogurt!
Koki: World peace. A world without any wars.
Ueda: Make the person that I like notice me! Definitely!
Maru: To choose 2 magic spells. I can't?! Then, world peace.
4. You got 100 million from the lottery, how would you use it?
Kame: Buy a mansion. There's should also be a backyard that would let me practice baseball whenever I want.
Jin: First, use 10 million for a car! Then, 20 million for clothes! After, wouldn't you need somewhere to put these clothes? So, for the clothes, buy a 60 million mansion!! .and save the rest.
Junno:
Koki: Filial piety towards parents. Buy a big mansion for then, then send them to travel. Hawaii seems pretty cool.
Ueda: Travel to foreign countries! First buy a ship, before I use up my money I would keep travelling by ship. I want to go to Italy and France first. Then find someone that would become my wife there.
Maru: Buy a mansion with an elevator, 4 floor building seems nice.
5. Bungee jumping or sky high diving?
Kame: Sky high diving. Just once, want to float for a long time, look at Japan island from high up.
Jin: Sky high diving!!! I really want to try this!!!
Junno: I guess sky high diving. Wouldn't it be fun to look at the world from a different perspective?
Koki: Sky high diving. Because everything on the ground would look so unreal.
Ueda: If for sure it's safe then sky high diving. If I wouldn't have butterflies in my stomach I would like to try.
Maru: Sky high diving, for sure! I always thought it would be interesting!
6. If you could become something other than a human, what would you want to be?
Kame: Bird. Want to see Japan island from high above.
Jin: Dragon seems cool. Pure white, palm-sized dragon. Dragon should be around a long time ago right?
Ah!! Nonexistent!? Really!?
Junno: Water. Because water takes on no shape, or it can take any shape.
Koki: The great white shark. It's invincible in the ocean.
Ueda: Want to become a bird and fly in the sky. Not something like a sparrow, more like an eagle or vulture.
Maru: Want to become the lovable dolphin~
7. If there's a fire in the house, what would you save first?
Kame: Photo album. Because memories are very important.
Jin: Cellphone, bank record, stamp. If you're buried under, wouldn't the cellphone be useful for contacting?
Junno: Cellphone and money. Also family! Wouldn't it be lonely to live on by yourself? So if anyone was unable to escape, I'll definitely run back in to save him/her.
Koki: Probably cellphone, shouldn't you call the firetruck first?
Ueda: Cellphone. I would be really frustrated if I lost my friends' numbers.
Maru: In the order of, cellphone, wallet, photo album.
8. Would you rather choose, being poor but live up to 120, or being rich but only having 30 years of life?
Kame: Billionaire. Enjoy 120 years of life in 30 years.
Jin: 30. You see, isn't there a saying "beauty lives a short life"? [...omg..OMG!]
Junno: Probably 120. I wouldn't dream to live only up to 30 years old. Although I wouldn't want to be too poor, but I wouldn't mind not being so rich. Just live up to 80 normally would be fine.
Koki: I'm not very interested in wasting money and live a luxurious life. So even if I become someone rich, I'd still live in an apartment.
Ueda: Being rich. Rather than live a long life, a full life would be happier.
Maru: Touchy~ I wouldn't want any of these, so not choosing.
9. One day to switch your body with someone, who would you choose?
Kame: Kimura Takuya-san. I can't believe he's also a human. What would it feel like to be Kimura Takuya~?
Jin: I want to fly in the sky, bird. Phoenix seems pretty cool. [It's not phoenix but I couldn't find the translation to the other bird...Well let's just say it's imaginary]
Junno: Cat or dog. Want to experience a life on the fields. Even if I couldn't find food, though it would be only one day so no problems. I can handle it.
Koki: Aikawa Sho-san. So cool, I really look up to him.
Ueda: Britney Spears, go sexy.
Maru: Prime minister. Though, if I become the PM, everyone would probably object right.
10. Medicine to go back to childhood, or becomes an adult, which would you pick?
Kame: Kid. You play everyday in kindergarten, wouldn't you be really happy?
Jin: Probably a kid. Becomes a kid, then check out the girl's bathroom. (laugh)
Junno: Medicine to become a kid. Return to when I was a baby, then, reborn.
Koki: Neither! I'm happy for now, so not drinking any of these!
Ueda: Medicine to become a kid. Work hard to study, if I only done that earlier.
Maru: Return to the happy 7th grade. Then, join the soccer team again, and run wild on the field.
11. If you can have a superpower?
Kame: Bending the spoon. Bending the spoon easily when you're walking on the street, you would become a hero!?
Jin: Healing disease/wound power. Even if you break your bone, you can easily recover in no time.
Junno: Bending the spoon. You would become quite popular in a party right~
Koki: Of course it would be to move quickly! When you're going to school, you could even wake up 5 minutes before the bell rings~ Now waking up everyday at 6 is really tiring~
Ueda: If you can move quickly, then you could play until you're exhausted and then go to sleep.
Maru: Please give me the power of knowing the future. I want to live a unharmful life.
12. Please predict yourself 20 years later?
Kame: Having a beautiful wife and angel. Ah! I meant a child.
Jin: Becomes world's top man and receives welcoming from the world. Also receives a Nobel Prize. In the singing field (laugh), I'll create a "Akanishi Nobel Prize Award"!
Junno: Married, have children, a normal, good father.?
Koki: 37...can't imagine~ Probably married, have kids, becomes a father that the child can be proud to mention in school.
Ueda: Get married with a foreign girl in a foreign country, live in a foreign castle.
Maru: I think, live healthily, live every day to the fullest.
13. If you're a girl, who would you choose in KAT-TUN to be your boyfriend?
Kame: Myself. You'd know everything about yourself, wouldn't you be relaxed and happy all the time?
Jin: No one. I know everyone's personality too well, it would be pretty boring.
Junno: Who should it be...? Myself. Being with the other 5, I would feel the most comfortable with myself.
Koki: Absolutely no idea. Akanishi would be suitable!? Wouldn't you feel like you want to protect him all the time? [Hai! *hides from flying tomatoes*]
Ueda: Er...no one. No matter who I go out with it would seem pretty annoying.
Maru: Akanishi...Maa~, although it's because he's just around now, but he's always so high on tension, wouldn't it be fun to be with him?
14. Really popular amongst the girls or really popular amongst the boys, which would you choose?
Kame: Same gender group. I want to become a strong existence so that other male would look up to.
Jin: Either side is important. You wouldn't lose anything being liked on either side right?
Junno: Both sides are fine~ Too greedy? (laugh)
Koki: Amongst boys. I'd feel really great if the same gender said I'm "really cool".
Ueda: I would say girls. All guys would want girls to kya-kya at them right.
Maru: As a guy, I would want to be popular amongst the girls.
15. Diary and test, which would embarrass you if other people saw it?
Kame: Diary. Though I don't write it often, but I'm a really sensible person so...(laugh) "Today's sky, as if waiting for me. Because of this sky, that received more attention then other times." This kind of sentence. (laugh) So, if other people saw this I would be embarrassed.
Jin: Diary. Because, before I would use (^_^)(T_T) these kind of emotions to describe my feelings on those days.
Junno: Diary. I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone saw my tests.
Koki: Neither. I probably don't know how to be shameful? (laugh) If there's work like "wearing a piece of clothing to walk on street", I wouldn't think twice before doing it.
Ueda: Because I don't have the habit of writing diaries, tests then.
Maru: It would definitely be diary. I've started a diary in junior school, but didn't even continue for a week. (laugh)
16. Your girlfriend and best friend are drowning, the boat you're on can only take another person, what would you do?
Kame: Of course I would get off. But, if the boat can only hold one person, I would let my girlfriend to sit.
Jin: I would get off! They're the people that I would want to protect even if I have to lose my life.
Junno: Eh~!! Then, let me drown.
Koki: I would jump off to save them. Because, I can swim.
Ueda: Tell you the truth, I would want to save my girlfriend, but I don't want to lose my best friend either! Um~ Then I'll jump off and hold on to the back of the boat.
Maru: Can't choose, so I'll jump off. Let's all drown then. (laugh)
17. If you have to live with a member for a life time, who would you choose?
Kame: No one! Because, aren't we always together? I want to be alone when I'm by myself.
Jin: Um~? No one special, anyone would work.
Junno: Too annoying, I'd live by myself.
Koki: Anyone would be fine. Who knows how to cook? Ueda? Ok then Ueda.
Ueda: If I want to live a happy life, then Akanishi. If I want to live a normal life, then Taguchi. But, I'd still pick Akanishi. Since he's learning guitar recently, we can practice together.
Maru: This...would be hard~(laugh) Actually, I would pick Ueda. We've known each other for a long time, so we'd get along pretty well.
18. Travelling through space, or travelling around the world?
Kame: Space! I want to see Japan island from outer space!
Jin: World. But I would be too lonely to travel by myself, then I'd bring all the members with me!
Junno: World. First I'd go to Broadway in New York. En~, then go to Canada to buy maple syrup, [OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG COME!!!!!!!!!!!] then go to Alaska to eat seal meat...(planning continues)
Koki: There's nothing to do in space, so I want to travel the world.
Ueda: Of course it would be the world. About the space, if you got hit on a meteorite, wouldn't you die for sure.
Maru: Definitely the space!! I so want to go on a spaceship! [..space-maniac..]
19. Cute chubby girls or slender females, which is your type?
Kame: Either would be fine. It's the inside that counts.
Jin: If I had to choose, cute chubby ones? Seems more safe.
Junno: Either would be fine. I wouldn't mind these things.
Koki: Either would be fine. If I really liked her, these things doesn't matter.
Ueda: If you're asking which one, slender would be better.
Maru: If I have to choose, chubby, healthy girls would be better. But, if I have to pick one to my girlfriend, personality would be more important, the appearance doesn't matter.
20. What would you bring with you if you have to go on a no-man island?
Kame: Music. Watching the ocean and listening to songs that I like, this would be pretty enjoyable.
Jin: Doraemon! Not likely. (laugh) I would still bring that guy. Because, I hate being lonely. [I'm guessing Yamapi? -_,-]
Junno: Refrigerator. But I can't use electricity...Then, ah! DUET! "I did these things before" kind of feelings.
Koki: A year supply of food cans. Then I'll consider what to change them into.
Ueda: Bring someone that can chat with me. Food would be there somehow.
Maru: Food can be considered later, so I want a boat that has a bed on it. If something happens, I can come back with it. (laugh)

Warning: Some might be off so please don't take things too seriously if you find something too weird to believe..though I suppose most of these are correct.
1. You wake up in the morning and discovered that you've became a girl!! What would you do?
Kame: Put on a perfect make-up. Then, go on the streets and be like "look at me~!"
Jin: Thinking, I'm probably still dreaming, so go back to sleep. Then, if I'm still a girl when I wake up again, I'll just go to work normally! (laugh)
Junno: Sleep again! Wouldn't you be too shocked to get up? Don't want anyone to see me like this~ Maybe I can return to normal once I sleep again!? Thinking that, I'd sleep again.
Koki: Go somewhere that girls would hangout. Sort of like Lady'sのshop, buy cute belts and stuff.
Ueda: Anyways, dress up really sexy, make men fall for me! Then, walk along Shibuya street, and receive attention from different types of people (laugh)
Maru: Do what girls would do. Like, wearing a short skirt and go shopping.
2. You've been told you only have 1 year to live, what would you do for the rest of your life?
Kame: Try my hardest to debut!
Jin: Live normally the first 11 months, then do whatever I want in the last month! After that, I want a really cool "funeral party" [...Jin sure thinks differently=v=]
Junno: Try things I've never tried before. Like appearing on DUET magazine cover alone, publish my own books and stuff. Until the end, I'd still want to work.
Koki: Act normally. Because, now might be my most grateful moments. Though I would like to try really manly occupations. Construction workers seems cool.
Ueda: Spend it with my beloved one.
Maru: Sing with Class kids [? No idea] I can't!? Well I'll use my time efficiently. Sleep early and wake up early! I'm trying to accomplish that right now.
3. The one magic spell you would like to choose?
Kame:
Jin: Make fireballs from the palm of your hand! Like dragonball.
Junno: Make the refrigerator be filled with pudding and yogurt!
Koki: World peace. A world without any wars.
Ueda: Make the person that I like notice me! Definitely!
Maru: To choose 2 magic spells. I can't?! Then, world peace.
4. You got 100 million from the lottery, how would you use it?
Kame: Buy a mansion. There's should also be a backyard that would let me practice baseball whenever I want.
Jin: First, use 10 million for a car! Then, 20 million for clothes! After, wouldn't you need somewhere to put these clothes? So, for the clothes, buy a 60 million mansion!! .and save the rest.
Junno:
Koki: Filial piety towards parents. Buy a big mansion for then, then send them to travel. Hawaii seems pretty cool.
Ueda: Travel to foreign countries! First buy a ship, before I use up my money I would keep travelling by ship. I want to go to Italy and France first. Then find someone that would become my wife there.
Maru: Buy a mansion with an elevator, 4 floor building seems nice.
5. Bungee jumping or sky high diving?
Kame: Sky high diving. Just once, want to float for a long time, look at Japan island from high up.
Jin: Sky high diving!!! I really want to try this!!!
Junno: I guess sky high diving. Wouldn't it be fun to look at the world from a different perspective?
Koki: Sky high diving. Because everything on the ground would look so unreal.
Ueda: If for sure it's safe then sky high diving. If I wouldn't have butterflies in my stomach I would like to try.
Maru: Sky high diving, for sure! I always thought it would be interesting!
6. If you could become something other than a human, what would you want to be?
Kame: Bird. Want to see Japan island from high above.
Jin: Dragon seems cool. Pure white, palm-sized dragon. Dragon should be around a long time ago right?
Ah!! Nonexistent!? Really!?
Junno: Water. Because water takes on no shape, or it can take any shape.
Koki: The great white shark. It's invincible in the ocean.
Ueda: Want to become a bird and fly in the sky. Not something like a sparrow, more like an eagle or vulture.
Maru: Want to become the lovable dolphin~
7. If there's a fire in the house, what would you save first?
Kame: Photo album. Because memories are very important.
Jin: Cellphone, bank record, stamp. If you're buried under, wouldn't the cellphone be useful for contacting?
Junno: Cellphone and money. Also family! Wouldn't it be lonely to live on by yourself? So if anyone was unable to escape, I'll definitely run back in to save him/her.
Koki: Probably cellphone, shouldn't you call the firetruck first?
Ueda: Cellphone. I would be really frustrated if I lost my friends' numbers.
Maru: In the order of, cellphone, wallet, photo album.
8. Would you rather choose, being poor but live up to 120, or being rich but only having 30 years of life?
Kame: Billionaire. Enjoy 120 years of life in 30 years.
Jin: 30. You see, isn't there a saying "beauty lives a short life"? [...omg..OMG!]
Junno: Probably 120. I wouldn't dream to live only up to 30 years old. Although I wouldn't want to be too poor, but I wouldn't mind not being so rich. Just live up to 80 normally would be fine.
Koki: I'm not very interested in wasting money and live a luxurious life. So even if I become someone rich, I'd still live in an apartment.
Ueda: Being rich. Rather than live a long life, a full life would be happier.
Maru: Touchy~ I wouldn't want any of these, so not choosing.
9. One day to switch your body with someone, who would you choose?
Kame: Kimura Takuya-san. I can't believe he's also a human. What would it feel like to be Kimura Takuya~?
Jin: I want to fly in the sky, bird. Phoenix seems pretty cool. [It's not phoenix but I couldn't find the translation to the other bird...Well let's just say it's imaginary]
Junno: Cat or dog. Want to experience a life on the fields. Even if I couldn't find food, though it would be only one day so no problems. I can handle it.
Koki: Aikawa Sho-san. So cool, I really look up to him.
Ueda: Britney Spears, go sexy.
Maru: Prime minister. Though, if I become the PM, everyone would probably object right.
10. Medicine to go back to childhood, or becomes an adult, which would you pick?
Kame: Kid. You play everyday in kindergarten, wouldn't you be really happy?
Jin: Probably a kid. Becomes a kid, then check out the girl's bathroom. (laugh)
Junno: Medicine to become a kid. Return to when I was a baby, then, reborn.
Koki: Neither! I'm happy for now, so not drinking any of these!
Ueda: Medicine to become a kid. Work hard to study, if I only done that earlier.
Maru: Return to the happy 7th grade. Then, join the soccer team again, and run wild on the field.
11. If you can have a superpower?
Kame: Bending the spoon. Bending the spoon easily when you're walking on the street, you would become a hero!?
Jin: Healing disease/wound power. Even if you break your bone, you can easily recover in no time.
Junno: Bending the spoon. You would become quite popular in a party right~
Koki: Of course it would be to move quickly! When you're going to school, you could even wake up 5 minutes before the bell rings~ Now waking up everyday at 6 is really tiring~
Ueda: If you can move quickly, then you could play until you're exhausted and then go to sleep.
Maru: Please give me the power of knowing the future. I want to live a unharmful life.
12. Please predict yourself 20 years later?
Kame: Having a beautiful wife and angel. Ah! I meant a child.
Jin: Becomes world's top man and receives welcoming from the world. Also receives a Nobel Prize. In the singing field (laugh), I'll create a "Akanishi Nobel Prize Award"!
Junno: Married, have children, a normal, good father.?
Koki: 37...can't imagine~ Probably married, have kids, becomes a father that the child can be proud to mention in school.
Ueda: Get married with a foreign girl in a foreign country, live in a foreign castle.
Maru: I think, live healthily, live every day to the fullest.
13. If you're a girl, who would you choose in KAT-TUN to be your boyfriend?
Kame: Myself. You'd know everything about yourself, wouldn't you be relaxed and happy all the time?
Jin: No one. I know everyone's personality too well, it would be pretty boring.
Junno: Who should it be...? Myself. Being with the other 5, I would feel the most comfortable with myself.
Koki: Absolutely no idea. Akanishi would be suitable!? Wouldn't you feel like you want to protect him all the time? [Hai! *hides from flying tomatoes*]
Ueda: Er...no one. No matter who I go out with it would seem pretty annoying.
Maru: Akanishi...Maa~, although it's because he's just around now, but he's always so high on tension, wouldn't it be fun to be with him?
14. Really popular amongst the girls or really popular amongst the boys, which would you choose?
Kame: Same gender group. I want to become a strong existence so that other male would look up to.
Jin: Either side is important. You wouldn't lose anything being liked on either side right?
Junno: Both sides are fine~ Too greedy? (laugh)
Koki: Amongst boys. I'd feel really great if the same gender said I'm "really cool".
Ueda: I would say girls. All guys would want girls to kya-kya at them right.
Maru: As a guy, I would want to be popular amongst the girls.
15. Diary and test, which would embarrass you if other people saw it?
Kame: Diary. Though I don't write it often, but I'm a really sensible person so...(laugh) "Today's sky, as if waiting for me. Because of this sky, that received more attention then other times." This kind of sentence. (laugh) So, if other people saw this I would be embarrassed.
Jin: Diary. Because, before I would use (^_^)(T_T) these kind of emotions to describe my feelings on those days.
Junno: Diary. I wouldn't be embarrassed if someone saw my tests.
Koki: Neither. I probably don't know how to be shameful? (laugh) If there's work like "wearing a piece of clothing to walk on street", I wouldn't think twice before doing it.
Ueda: Because I don't have the habit of writing diaries, tests then.
Maru: It would definitely be diary. I've started a diary in junior school, but didn't even continue for a week. (laugh)
16. Your girlfriend and best friend are drowning, the boat you're on can only take another person, what would you do?
Kame: Of course I would get off. But, if the boat can only hold one person, I would let my girlfriend to sit.
Jin: I would get off! They're the people that I would want to protect even if I have to lose my life.
Junno: Eh~!! Then, let me drown.
Koki: I would jump off to save them. Because, I can swim.
Ueda: Tell you the truth, I would want to save my girlfriend, but I don't want to lose my best friend either! Um~ Then I'll jump off and hold on to the back of the boat.
Maru: Can't choose, so I'll jump off. Let's all drown then. (laugh)
17. If you have to live with a member for a life time, who would you choose?
Kame: No one! Because, aren't we always together? I want to be alone when I'm by myself.
Jin: Um~? No one special, anyone would work.
Junno: Too annoying, I'd live by myself.
Koki: Anyone would be fine. Who knows how to cook? Ueda? Ok then Ueda.
Ueda: If I want to live a happy life, then Akanishi. If I want to live a normal life, then Taguchi. But, I'd still pick Akanishi. Since he's learning guitar recently, we can practice together.
Maru: This...would be hard~(laugh) Actually, I would pick Ueda. We've known each other for a long time, so we'd get along pretty well.
18. Travelling through space, or travelling around the world?
Kame: Space! I want to see Japan island from outer space!
Jin: World. But I would be too lonely to travel by myself, then I'd bring all the members with me!
Junno: World. First I'd go to Broadway in New York. En~, then go to Canada to buy maple syrup, [OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG COME!!!!!!!!!!!] then go to Alaska to eat seal meat...(planning continues)
Koki: There's nothing to do in space, so I want to travel the world.
Ueda: Of course it would be the world. About the space, if you got hit on a meteorite, wouldn't you die for sure.
Maru: Definitely the space!! I so want to go on a spaceship! [..space-maniac..]
19. Cute chubby girls or slender females, which is your type?
Kame: Either would be fine. It's the inside that counts.
Jin: If I had to choose, cute chubby ones? Seems more safe.
Junno: Either would be fine. I wouldn't mind these things.
Koki: Either would be fine. If I really liked her, these things doesn't matter.
Ueda: If you're asking which one, slender would be better.
Maru: If I have to choose, chubby, healthy girls would be better. But, if I have to pick one to my girlfriend, personality would be more important, the appearance doesn't matter.
20. What would you bring with you if you have to go on a no-man island?
Kame: Music. Watching the ocean and listening to songs that I like, this would be pretty enjoyable.
Jin: Doraemon! Not likely. (laugh) I would still bring that guy. Because, I hate being lonely. [I'm guessing Yamapi? -_,-]
Junno: Refrigerator. But I can't use electricity...Then, ah! DUET! "I did these things before" kind of feelings.
Koki: A year supply of food cans. Then I'll consider what to change them into.
Ueda: Bring someone that can chat with me. Food would be there somehow.
Maru: Food can be considered later, so I want a boat that has a bed on it. If something happens, I can come back with it. (laugh)
Question 17: When out on a date, the Girl behaves FLIRTATIOUSLY
Maru: It's okay but not in front of others. We will be looked at on the streets and i don't like that feeling
Ueda: If she overdoes it, it will get all sticky here and there and i hate it. We both should be strict about this
Koki: I WOULD LOVE THAT!
Junno: I'm fine with anything but if we were to be in the middle of the streets, it can be pretty embarrasing! (SMILES)
Jin: Isnt' that good? If she's behaving like that, i can respond. I think it'll be alright. I'm the kind who doesnt mind the attention (!!! omg! =P)
Kame: I don't mind it at all. However, if there's people around and she's flirting more than necessary, it can get pretty annoying so i don't want that to happen!
Question 18: A girl who wants to meet up with you EVERYDAY
Maru: THAT'S GOOD! If you SERIOUSLY like the person, its not WRONG to go to the extent of seeing each other everyday. I want to see her tooo~ (ahaha, that was soo cute of Maru, any girl who gets him is lucky!!)
Ueda: I NEED TO HAVE TIME ALONE TOO!!
Koki: I want to see her, that's why! (SMILES) EVERYDAY, EVERYNIGHT, 24 HOURS A DAY just to see her..isnt dat gooood?!! (scary koki!!)
Junno: Don't overdo it. I think theres plenty of time to see each other. We can always ring each other or mail each other and with this, theres really no need to see each other everyday. (but junno, i want to see u everyday!!! =P)
Jin: I don't mind. I REALLY like a girl who is honest with her feelings.
Kame: I don't mind but if im busy then its impossible but that just cold be my selfishness!! Hahaha!
Question 19: A girl who has too many "BOYFRIENDS"
Maru: It cant be helped but if theres tooo many its hard for meee~ I will be sooo insecure!!
Ueda: If its purely frenship, its ok but if i sense something fishy, its definitely as NO. But i think its normal to have frens.. (aww, how sweeet)
Koki: I have never talked about Frenship issues but i dun like the feeling of her having too many guy frens
Junno: I WON'T MIND IT (somehow, his answer is sooo scary. It can mean, he trust his gf ALOT but it could also mean he DOESNT CARE ABT HER AT all......My junno, why are u like this?)
Jin: Too many huh...? To have guy frens is okay even if its not many. I don't want to be the one ending up to have many GF's!!
Kame: I will probably be JEALOUS but if she love to socialise than theres no stopping her, i think....
Question 20: Frankly tell us the type of girl that you like!
Maru: A KIND and GENTLE GIRL! (awwwww)
Ueda: A girl whose strong point is at housework and domestic affairs. Able to clean up her own room would be best! (u lazy guy you!!)
Koki: (lazy to translate!!! sorry! he talks alot!
Junno: (his too!!)
Jin: A BEAUTIFUL BLOND GIRL (SMILES) (omg, is dat superficial? no wonder u are soo improving ur eng!)
Kame: I want a girl who takes her words seriously. If its just, "I LIKE you" i wont accept it. It must come from the heart and the person must seriously mean it. Thats what i think. (ooh, a grown-up KAME!)
Maru: It's okay but not in front of others. We will be looked at on the streets and i don't like that feeling
Ueda: If she overdoes it, it will get all sticky here and there and i hate it. We both should be strict about this

So many things to read!! Got my time to catch up ;)
but if i can help in something just tell me ok??
That's curious because despite coming from a rich family(old rich family) i just see him middly aristocrat while Junno is much more like that
LOL He wouldn't be so sweet if his mom were so strict! His grandmother sure as she is a chado master; wonder how you picture his sister?
Of course we love him! He is so innocent sometimes and then he turns a little mischievous!! Being close to Jin and Maru helped him a lot to come out of his shell
His laugh has something, maybe because he laughs soo little.
In that CtKt episode it seems that something else happened but we didn't know at the time, i posted what, back under spoilers
I don't loose the hope that he could appear in 1Pound beating Kame up ;)
I was going to use them but i decided upon Jinda that's my bigger love in KT(can't see if it works though LOL)
Got another one too ;)
And a couple more all by my sis, like this one, i couldn't resist, i was thinking of that arm for three days in a row!
By the way you got me envious!! LOL But i hope you can make good screencaps to show us ;)
Full of himself Kame? yes, my beloved Jin? yes...but Ueda, no
We know now that it is true and maybe he even beat his own record of four hours...
Jin good cook?! The guy who poisoned himself in usa?? LOL
True, helping Ueda beat his record (i just love this incident)
We know Jin, even though i wouldn't go to a karaoke with him...(i still envy his high note in Gold ballad version)
LOL this two are always like that
He got his wish, i was named his anego ¬¬
Jin, true, Ueda, only if he has to by family matters
Best style Junno, but Jin is right!! no skinny guys!!
Jin looks good dressed as agirl no more, Kame yes and Ueda has never!! LOLL (got a photo to prove it!)
Poor Maru, his granny died recently...
True, Junno's room is not neat, but after all what he show seemed just like his wardrobe ¬¬ and just the first floor.....
Kame? Jin! without a doubt
And thanks to this year's happenings we know that it was Ueda who listened to his friend problems the most..
LOL at least that is what Ueda and Maru complained about!!
LOL
He got the fame of crying and he is the one that does it less but as he admits it people will never believe him....i remember in Real Face con, Precious One, he was one of the few who was not crying!
We all know know that Ueda is not weak fighting, at it seems he never was either poor Kame
He is not soo misterious!!
The best he could do, even if he shows people still didn't believe him
Both true
Soo true!! LOL
Okyakusama's
The thing is i love to see his tears, he is even more gorgeous
Maru is brilliant!
He said "this one is good"
His cousin is in another agency, i have seen him!!
Love Maru's method to stop Kame and Jin fighting, locked them up in a room until they calmed themselves
More than one, but yup, Ueda has a quick temper
KATTUN was always liked by T&T and Smap for what i have read, even Kinki Kids had second toughts, but it couldn't be helped, it is a straigh line Smap, Kinki, Kt, Hey....
But it is true that they were never really coordinated they are not now either LOL
!!(got photos LOLL)
And all the shop photos too!!
He would be the first singer not only in Je but of all singers, maybe he has already taken the test, that's why Jin and Maru and Junno too i think were pushing him a bit
it was really cute those two programs He has good friends
Even when he said he would feel lonely
let him try now
We need more photos here!!
Oh my! It is not so much!! I just like themciantella wrote:Ginoru
Wow..you amaze me. ^^ Definitely, whenever I'm unclear about something.. i'll definitely ask you about KAT-TUN.
but if i can help in something just tell me ok??Yes, as does Junnotheflavoroflife wrote:does Ueda comes from a wealthy family????
Not at all!! There are so many things i still don't know! I just can read a bit more into them because i like them and second because of my workena wrote:Woaaaah, ginomu, you're expert in Kattun...
I don't think that being rich has anything to do with him appearing in dramas; he is just not interested, he prefers his musicciantella wrote: flavoroflife
..yes, Ueda is rich. According to the KAT-TUN members, he is. They usually mention it in magazine interviews too. ^^ I think that's the reason why he's not really in dramas or anything else for that matter besides the music industry because he doesn't really need the money. ^^
Yes that was mentioned as it was mentioned that he used private jets and went to hawaii on holidays often, the other kt's said he grew up in a greenhouse in one of the CtKt. Soo funny because he never shows any difference with the others! It is funny too with Junno, when Jin said that after work in Yukan he has to go home on his own, by train or car and Junno has his driver to do soKuso_Baba wrote:Ueda is definetly form a rich family!! It was mentioned a couple of times in Cartoon KAT-TUN. The episode where this femael guest comes to the show.. I dont remeber how it started but then u see Nakamaru saying that Ueda comes forma rich family too or something. Then u see Ueda saying how he used to have lessons every single day like English lessons, Calligraphy lessons, Piano lessons and more. I dont think normal families an affored different lessons for EACH SINGLE DAY!!
Yeah about the big chair thing, it was mentioned in Summary Backstage. Koki and the other were describing how Ueda's house looked like form the inside. Koki also said something about the number of maids he had ( I dont know if he was joking or something)
I always loved how elegant and aristocrat Ueda looks..
I always imagined Ueda's mom with that sort of Kimono those women wear and acts very strict and all..
BUT DONT WE ALL LOVE OUR UEDA?? hohohohoho~~
He can be very cute sometimes for example: In the episode of Cartoon KAT-TUN where they invited the half French half Japanese girl( the one who acts in Yukan Club, I am not really good in memorizing female names). Ueda had to take a paper out of the box. He read what was written on it to himself the he just burst out laughing! It was the most ADORABLE laugh ever.. ( I watched that a zillions of times)
It would be nice when the ay come and a new drama would be out and the star of that drama would be Ueda.. Even just as a guest would be nice..
Everyone: Keep ur hopes up!!!
That's curious because despite coming from a rich family(old rich family) i just see him middly aristocrat while Junno is much more like that

Really? LOL that's funny!! .....Ok, i did just the same as the girl.......that's why i made my sis making them for meKuso_Baba wrote:Ciantella Ur siggy with Ueda taking off his glasses: When I watched that part from the episode I went KYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~~~
Not the first time where he just took them off but when he was actingly reading. He took them off and swiftly moved his head to bring his bangs to a side.. IT WAS KAKOIIIII!!!!
I was like kyaaaaa in the middle of the cafeteria of the university ( my firend showed me that part only coz she knows I adore Ueda).... quite embarrassing really
I was going to use them but i decided upon Jinda that's my bigger love in KT(can't see if it works though LOL)Mee too!! She was soo right!!ciantella wrote: hahaha lol..omg~~!! I also did the same thing.. when that chubby girl said that "people who are watching in front of their tv's right now are most likely doing KYAH KYAH!!"
I'm sooo with you there. ^^
Oh, i love the siggy too~~!! Ginoru's sister made them so I can't thank them enough. ^^
p.s. my Cartoon KAT-TUN II You Concert & Keep The Faith single just came in the mail today.. *woot woot*
Got another one too ;)
And a couple more

Obvious? Really? I don't know where do you see those things because it seems like we are talking of two different persons heretheflavoroflife wrote:I just knew by the way he acted ~ Sometimes I felt like he is full of himself~~~ But yeah it was kind of obvious.
Full of himself Kame? yes, my beloved Jin? yes...but Ueda, no

True, helping Ueda beat his record (i just love this incident
)We know Jin, even though i wouldn't go to a karaoke with him...(i still envy his high note in Gold ballad version)
LOL this two are always like that
He got his wish, i was named his anego ¬¬
Jin, true, Ueda, only if he has to by family matters
Best style Junno, but Jin is right!! no skinny guys!!
Jin looks good dressed as agirl no more, Kame yes and Ueda has never!! LOLL (got a photo to prove it!)
Poor Maru, his granny died recently...
True, Junno's room is not neat, but after all what he show seemed just like his wardrobe ¬¬ and just the first floor.....
Kame? Jin! without a doubt
And thanks to this year's happenings we know that it was Ueda who listened to his friend problems the most..
LOL at least that is what Ueda and Maru complained about!!
LOL
He got the fame of crying and he is the one that does it less but as he admits it people will never believe him....i remember in Real Face con, Precious One, he was one of the few who was not crying!
We all know know that Ueda is not weak fighting, at it seems he never was either
poor KameHe is not soo misterious!!
The best he could do, even if he shows people still didn't believe him
Both true
Soo true!! LOL
It was not so soft as it seems and was not the last time they fought either i think both times Ueda won ;)ciantella wrote:Its a translation of the KAT-TUN members talk after the mock fight in the Okyakusama wa Kamisama: 55mannin no ai no request ni kotaete Concert.

Good afternoon, everyone!
The weather in Tokyo is nice, the air is very refreshing.
I feel warm being surronded in this kind of environment.
Recently, I've once again experinced something that changed me.
People do tend to change according to those around them.
I've recently met a very great person and because of that, my mood brightens up!
This is a good time to sing a song~
In order to sing songs about laughter, anger, sorrow, and happiness
I must use that anger as my energy in boxing!
I must work hard today.

In fact he asked "ojisan" where could he leave his numberciantella wrote:credit: rui
so he was like `oh, my number isn't there...` and was already prepared to leave, and asked this weird uncle at the audition place where to return his number plate to
AND it turned out that that weird uncle was Mr Johnnys himself, and jin started to imitate him too
`You should stay too.` again the host stood up to whack Bakanishi on the head (LOL)
then Nakamaru thought, well since i am here, and raised his hand to ask a question, he asked `In johnnys, is it so that if you are not good looking you can`t enter?`
the boss then asked back `so what do you think of yourself?`
and Nakamaru decided to be abit brave and answered back, `i think i am below middle. (i am not very sure what it means but i think it is something like if there is low, middle and high, he is saying that his looks is on the meter of somewhere between low and middle)
then Johnnys replied him `No! you are above middle!`
and his number was written onto the whiteboard
and at that time, Tacchan was bald (omg, i can't imagine that...)
so when he was there, Johnny came up to him and patted his head and said (yes, Tacchan too, imitates Johnnys)
`Bald is good!` (LMAO what?!?!)
and he got in just like that
Kouki`s case, it was actually his cousin who wanted to enter and sent in his resume, so on the way Kouki got his sent in too
and when he realized it he was at the audition and passed it already
however his cousin failed at the point of sending in his photo, and didn't even make it for the audition
so Kouki was saying that even up till now his cousin still makes some noise on and on such as like `oh, i saw your drama, isn't it weird...`
you know, like sour grapes kinda comments...
On to the next topic, they said that since KAT-TUN was formed, they`ve been fighting amongst themselves quite frequently
Kame was explaining that it was like a normal bunch of high school kids who starts hitting at every little irksome thing
then there was this one time Kame and Tacchan had a VERY big fight till Kame almost quitted KAT-TUN.
and also they said that the only person who were approving of KAT-TUN was Takizawa Hidekaki (man, my impression of this guy went up by a MILLION times after this)
cause every other senior in Johnnys all disliked KAT-TUN
Maru is brilliant!
He said "this one is good"
His cousin is in another agency, i have seen him!!
Love Maru's method to stop Kame and Jin fighting, locked them up in a room until they calmed themselves
More than one, but yup, Ueda has a quick temper
KATTUN was always liked by T&T and Smap for what i have read, even Kinki Kids had second toughts, but it couldn't be helped, it is a straigh line Smap, Kinki, Kt, Hey....
But it is true that they were never really coordinated
they are not now either LOLIt is interesting that even so long ago Jindaru well really good friends already... and Kame is a stalker to Uedaciantella wrote:KAT-TUN Questionair

I want him to be a guest star in Kame's new drama too! Ueda better be there since he's almost a pro wrestler!! hahahaha lol. He just needs to take the test to get himself a license..and he'll be the first JE singer to ever accomplish that~~!!! ^^ hehehehe lol.
He would be the first singer not only in Je but of all singers, maybe he has already taken the test, that's why Jin and Maru and Junno too i think were pushing him a bit
And since then we are waiting to hear this solo!!!ciantella wrote:Translation Myojo 07/07: Ueda Tatsuya
Reporter: In the Johnnys web, there's a story about Ueda in that website informing about preparation for a new song, right? Honestly, what kind of song?
Ueda: Ballad desu. Maa~, it's about a girl in a deep trouble and cannot tell her trouble to anyone. So, the girl will be the heroine. First, it's raining. She's closing her heart. Just like the sky began to clear, if slowly she could smile, it will be good, that kind of song.
Reporter: Do you plan to sing that song during the tour in the future?
Ueda: Iya, I'm not sure. It's been awhile since there's a good ballad song like this, so I'm really happy and I want to present this happiness to everyone...

To every fan,
Maybe to everyone it's really a tough time right now, but all we can do is to trust in him. Everyone should believe in him coming back and becoming someone that's better! I'm really sorry about all the fuss that happened!
Ueda Tatsuya
Even when he said he would feel lonelyLove this, it is sooo cute. It is funny the comment on leader LOL after all he quited so fast!!ciantella wrote:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y93/st ... emmlj1.jpg
Like Jin, Tat-chan has a sense of stubbornness in his personality traits. If he says or does something, he would stick to it no matter what other people has to say. Like when he was imitating gackt's style of clothing by having spikes and curly blonde hair, he never cared what other people thought of him [although he decided his own style's more important and is getting prettier by the second]
Tat-chan is often seen as the "cool" type, but also quite playful at times. He'd stand aside and watch the rest of KAT-TUN play their game of randomness [or it seems..xD], though that's just what he wanted to leave an impression of, but in natural fact, wasn't.
The first time Tat-chan and Jin met, Jin sees Tat-chan as a senpai, and Tat-chan thinks Jin is a very cool guy. Seven years passed, they've fought, they've argued, yet they've discovered the real characters of each other during these times.
Tat-chan would say, we really have a lot in common. In New York, our destinations are almost the same, and we'd do the same things not realizing it. He would call Jin to ask about his style, and take his new clothing to Jin and see how he thinks of it.
Jin would say, Ueda's a really my pace kind of guy. If he settled with his own ideas, he wouldn't change them, that's just like me. He would say that he always wanted to pull Ueda back from the other world he's in, and left messages like "I LOVE YOU BABY" in magazine interviews.
Tat-chan once mentioned, the degree of him liking the person or not depends on the amount of kaomonji's he uses. As he likes the person, the kaomonji's would increase too. Jin then interrupted by saying no wonder there's so many kaomonji's in the mails Tat-chan sent him. Tat-chan denies and asks if he wanted to see proof from his mailing history? So Jin asked back if he wanted to see his instead?
To us, no matter if it's the Tat-chan who believed in fairies, or the Tat-chan who loves money, or the Tat-chan who laughed weirdly when he ate good food, or the Tat-chan whom abused his fellow team mates because he's S[...], he is the leader, Ueda Tatsuya, and the irreplaceable U in KAT-TUN.

Hina: Ja, let us all work hard towards not being late and affecting our work. Sa, let's continue. Next is what you want to say to Kamenashi Kazuya! What do you want to say to Kamenashi-kun himself? "Don't always touch other people's butt. This is really unbecoming. By Ueda Tatsuya."
Kame: Don't say this kind of things!
Hina: Sa, "always touching people's butt", Kame how do you explain this?
Kame: That's because Ueda's butt is very small and it feels pretty good to touch.
Hina: You're a pervert!
Kame: It's not like that!
Hina: What do you mean?
Kame: During performances, my left hand will be holding the mic and the right hand will feel lonely
Hina: Eh? You're touching throughout the performance?
Kame: Instead of saying "touch", it's more like an accidental bump.
Hina: Sa. What does Ueda have to say. Why have your lips turned white??
Ueda: I remember now, he keeps touching me like this every time [Ueda demonstrates XDDDD]
Hina: You didn't have to do that! You didn't have to demonstrate!
Kame: It's not like that! [Kame's expression is so adorable!]
Hina: Not like that? Then what is it like?
Kame: I don't touch like that!
Hina: ok, you don't have to demonstrate it with your hands.
Kame: When we're doing our moves on stage, "pa-ching", just a bump!
Hina: It's the same either way. So Ueda-kun has got to be careful and avoid being touched! Please return colour to your lips. And Kame must take note of this from now on.
Kame: Ok, I'll take note.

Those interviews and translations were extremely funny. Some answers to the questions asked Tatchan were like kyaaa~~ like:
Q: when do you feel that you're very good-looking?
UEDA:when im hitting the sandbag!although i cant look at myself when im training, but i'll still think of how i look like SHOULD BE VERY VERY ATTRACTIVE. (hahas X)
Q: the best date during winter is..??
UEDA:staying overnight at some amusement park's hotel. it gives me an "adult" feeling.im always thinking,when can i fulfil this?!

And the interview-thing with Kanjani8 in it was funny.. the one were what do u want to see KAT-TUN and Kanjani 8 do or see. The funniest one was seeing Subaru bald ( I cannot imagine.. laughed my stupid head off when I read that)

As far as i know Junno comes from a rich family too yes, he has admitted himself never have done house chores and Jin has said that a chauffer comes to pic him at work to take him home; his manners are really good and his eating and drinking manners show training too, it is a different kind of rich from Ueda, Ueda comes from an old family. havent you seen Meringue no Kimochi when his showed his "bedroom"(yes like that because the bedroom was not shown, just the cupboardS and leisure area...)? Or in one Yukan promo when Jin and him had to choose food and wines?
He was right!! While boxing he looks reaaaallllyy good!! i was like OoO when he boxed in CtKt!!

I was watching the 'carshrimp' jin clip of ultimate amazingness...and was actually distracted mostly by Ueda...because I started trying to read his shirt...
does Ueda's shirt say 'Keep the Faith' on it? I rewatched the clip like five times to make sure, and now i'm almost positive.
I just thought it was kind of funny, considering how many years after that clip they release a song with that title xD

hehehe lol.. ^^ It's alright. Ueda looks weak but because of boxing (and he's a good one)..some guests boxing pros from the Cartoon KAT-TUN show said that Ueda's hooks and 1-2 punches are really strong that he could knock out people with them. At first, Ueda wasn't my favorite because he's mysterious and quiet until I got used to him and I started to listen to his songs and they're awesome..plus the fact that he's really beautiful with his black hair.. although, when he's boxing, he can be really handsome. hehehehe lol..and I love Ryo-chan tooo~~!!!For me, Ueda is too shy and looks weak... Sorry if I offended ueda fans, guess ppl have different taste in men...
I love battle between Ryo-chan and Ueda!!

Notice Ueda's necklace here? Jin has the same one but his is colored blue whereas Ueda's is white. hehehehe lol.. just saying for the JINDA fans out there. ^^

Oh btw, just to let you know..i've just finished reading all of your responses from before..the reason i haven't been able to only until recently was because i've just finished with my finals..i've tackled down 4 so 1 more final to go for this semester..so i'm sorry if i wasn't able to reply to your past comments but i have read them.
The thing is that i don't think KaKi has been changed, the photoshoots came quite surprisingly with the pairs, Jin and Junno are still paired because of Yukan but the other four...weird.
Here you have, i took this from boys_paper community, so all credit goes to them. the photos in kame's page are the most interesting kame stalker ¬¬

I always find it curious how people get misslead because of his looks reallyena wrote:For me, Ueda is too shy and looks weak... Sorry if I offended ueda fans, guess ppl have different taste in men...
In fact Jin's necklace is paired with Ryo's(don't know if Pi and Yu had simmilar ones or not) Ueda's is quite simmilar but it is being a long time since he last used it. Now he wears his boxing glovesciantella wrote:Notice Ueda's necklace here? Jin has the same one but his is colored blue whereas Ueda's is white. hehehehe lol.. just saying for the JINDA fans out there. ^^
By the way, by the last performances it seems that Ueda has a darker shade of brown in his hair now (could be the lighting though

Oh and you're welcome btw. ^^
Oh..now it makes sense..cos I saw some people selling it and I was thinking if it's a really common one.. but I have heard of Vivienne Westwood..however, I didn't know she's a designer.. ^^ hahaha lol. Thank you for letting me know since I didn't know about it. =)Oooh and in case you didn't know, the necklaces that Jin and Ueda are wearing are designed by Vivienne Westwood, they're called orb necklaces. I love her designs and I'm glad they're wearing them
Oh and you're welcome btw. ^^

Nope, I didn't get bored at all whatsoever~~!! ^^
But if it is dyed darker..maybe he'll really end up guesting in Kame's drama..cos Kame dyed his hair black and so Tat-chan dyed his hair dark brown.. hahaha lol. I have no idea..it's all wishful thinking. I just want Ueda to be in a drama.

Oh this scan..i remember now but I didn't know that it's for January cos I don't usually pay attention..but what if it's a sign that Ueda will be a guest on Kame's ONE POUND GOSPEL?!?!?!!?!?!?! Maybe they're trying to hint it? Or maybe Kame's asking help/advice from Tat-chan about the right stance, the right way to punch etc..and the basics of boxing? Or maybe..they got paired simply because everybody knows that Tat-chan does boxing and Kame has that boxing drama...heh, i have no idea..but I prefer the first one so that Tat-chan can finally be in a drama even if only as a guest. ^^ That'd be cool~~!!The thing is that i don't think KaKi has been changed, the photoshoots came quite surprisingly with the pairs, Jin and Junno are still paired because of Yukan but the other four...weird.

It would be disaster if we all liked the same type of guys, desshou!!!
Actually, if I was asked to choose between Arashi and Ueda from KATTUN, then it would be Ueda!!
Nope, but maybe you as ryo fan may have it, it is the same but in different color ;)ena wrote:Ne, ne do you have pic of the same necklace that Jin and Ryo-chan share?
Thanksciantella wrote:Ginoru

I had not thought of him being Kame's traineer but i don't know...as i said i won't let my hopes to go up; i just found it curious that just for January it is already three times they had being paired
You'r Welcome ;)
I am not sure either but it looked that way from the best artist performance, it could be the light though, but regarding the issue of many Je guys appearing with darker hair lately a friend of mine said it is just because they got an offer in dye as they had have before with the reddish

Really? I'd of course choose Ueda but i have a soft spot for Aiba lately, since he evolutioned in looks
LOLLnanmaP Thanks, it is good to see him with black hair
I have been thinking where could that be and i think some photos for comparison reference were uploaded in Jin's thread time back...maybe you can find it there or maybe in ryo's.... 
Robina..since you're not using your old siggy anymore..i hope that you don't mind that i'm using it. ^^ Thank you. ^^Robina wrote:@ciantella: Since i not that Ueda fan, you can say 50% only but just coming to this thread make me enjoy read alot about Ueda
