Announcement!! Buy Expose Single!

[iside89]

Hey out there! Long time no see :) it's a lot of time you don't see me posting something that isn't a translation, so you must have already guessed that what I am about to write here is quite important.

If you haven't done it yet, please, *BUY EXPOSE SINGLE*.
You have probably already watched the PV, the making, the jackets on the net. Now I ask you to really, practically support KAT-TUN. 

Why am I writing this? You know I am living in Japan right now. I assure you that J-Storm is making zero promotion for this single. On the contrary, our rival, an AKB48 girl, had a handshake event, around 7 versions of the single, her posters are EVERYWHERE around Tokyo and she's slightly catching up KAT-TUN sold copies total. She's too close. I believe in our boys but this doesn't allow us to just leech without supporting.

The #1 record is kept only if KAT-TUN are #1 for the WEEKLY chart, NOT the first day as many think.
Right now, KAT-TUN need their hyphens.
This is their 20th single, they're aiming to break a new record after KinKi Kids (who are currently the holders of the World record). You don't want to let them lose it, right?! If they lose now, they have to start from the beginning once again. And it means losing 6 years of efforts. Said it in a cruel way, they won't obtain this record anymore.

A Regular edition is just 1000 Yen. It's like 8 €, a bit more than 10 $. A dinner out with friends. Show them some love buying the original version! They deserve it! (and possibly do it before Sunday, since online purchases take some days to be counted...)
Buy it for yourself, or buy it as a present for your friends to make them know KAT-TUN!


The reason I translate interviews - and videos, like I have translated KAT-TUN's zettai manetakunaru TV or the making ofs till now - for free (because no one is paying me), is because I want them to be popular and known all around the world, and I want to help the fans. I am doing this for free, so please, if you don't want to do it for them or J-Storm or whatever, do this for me ;_; don't waste my efforts in helping KAT-TUN and YOU ALL, letting them going down. I translate makings because I want to help who bought the copy to understand what they're saying.

I want to believe that this CHAIN really exists. I want to believe that my translating for fandom for free has a meaning, that being a HYPHEN has a meaning. Don't betray my expectations now!

Sorry for butting in, but I actually really don't get the age thing.
I mean it's kinda understandable when you compare them to teen groups like HSJ/sexy zone/Kisumai.
But why does Kanjani get such a huge promo then? They are older than KT...and they were everything but really popular in the past.

And yeah...I also think that it's their last year in the jpop mags *sighs*

I think K8 still active because they're resident in Osaka. Almost all of K8 works as an group base in Osaka. And K8 image is different than Kat-tun. K8 will slow down whn new group from Osaka debut. I believe J&A decided for sacrifice Kat-tun because they want push Kisumai and HSJ to the front. Just from JCD we can see J&A works hard push Kisumai & HSJ to the front. Kat-tun fanbase maybe not as strong as Arashi but they sure still alot fan support Kat-tun. Maybe that why J&A take risk with push Kat-tun to the back.
