Oricon announced EXPOSE obtained #1 spot in the weekly chart. It's the 20th single and they are the second group obtaining #1 spot since debut for 20 consecutive singles after Kinki kids (32)!
Congratulations, KAT-TUN!!! May there be many more #1s to come. ♥

Since my previous post spreaded more than I imagined when I wrote it, I think I must celebrate too :)
I am very happy and touched that my previous post reached many fans' hearts! As expected, Hyphens are great! ♥ Didn't betray my expectations.
As I wrote in many replies, my main message wasn't "buy Expose because we're in danger" (well, that was implied), but it was "If you've never done it before, from now on please buy their singles, stop just downloading".
I strongly believe that the main way to show we're appreciating their songs and efforts is buying the products. Do you like their lives? Then you buy the concert DVD, right? Then same goes for singles and albums: do you like their rock song? Then you buy it, at least one version, to show you like their choice and the project behind.
This is particularly true for international fans. Most of us don't live in Japan to send them fanletters, or attend their tours buying tickets and goods, or watch TV to pimp the TV program audience share when they're performing. We have just this method to show we are appreciating them as artists... and we also have to be grateful that present technology allows us to buy CDs and DVDs even from the other side of the planet! 
So the question isn't "why buy?" but "why not buy?".
Numbers themselves aren't everything
But #1 is the actual proof of KAT-TUN and fans' bond, therefore I wish international fans finally take a step further and start taking part actively to make this bond shine. It's the CHAIN with the boys ^_^

Thank you all for commenting to the previous post, sharing it around the web, agreeing with what I wrote, buying the single (←Have I suddenly become their manager? lol)! Let's continue supporting KAT-TUN together! Many many beautiful singles are waiting ahead! Let's make them the 21st, 22nd, 23rd... consecutive #1!

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!

I have bought mine, what about you? :) Take a picture and show me your copies! XD

Here the fanreport of Niigata 2/11 :D This is what I can remember, and my memories are kinda blurry because I was too excited (it is my first KT live ever XD) to focus and remember xD it turned out being long but I think some parts you can guess from fanrecordings.

KAT-TUN LIVE 2012 "CHAIN"
2012.02.11 NIIGATA


Very long~ )

----
Final comment: I am SO SO SO SO HAPPY to have been able to see them live, after so many years. Also, I am so happy for being able to see CHAIN concert, especially Niigata. They were SO HAPPY. It moves my heart remembering how Ueda was all jumping around asking to fans to make more noise, Maru and Junno waving all around, Kame and Koki staring in the eyes of the fans. I could feel how much they've missed last year's tour and contact with fans. It was also a nice experience go to a concert without knowing the songs LOL xD In the pamphlet it's also written that they've decided everything here, from the setlist to the directing to the goods to the effects, everything. It took time and efforts but they're satisfied. I am too :)
So yes... it's surely one of the best memories I have until now, together with DBS <3 Those 5 boys surely deserve all our love.
iside89: (The Artist)
Hello guys! ^_^ I’m in Japan for studying purposes and I could attend at 2 DBS shows, so I’ll bring you those 2 fanreports!
I tried to be as impartial as I could (I’ll leave the spazz for other places~) and just write down what I remember about the ad libs and the MC. It came out kinda detailed anyway, so be prepared! :D


DO NOT COPY NOR REPOST!!!

I promised this post time ago when I started to use the word "Kamenashi Effect" in my entries. Read it carefully because I hid many gifs/pics as links all throughout the post. :Dv
**NOTE: it's a post made for fun to make fun of Kametards written by a Kametard Kamefan, so yeah, it's ironic**
I was partially inspired by [livejournal.com profile] scorch66 's Kame love posts and [livejournal.com profile] simourva 's picspam, so go and read them :D
Finally, after months of researches, notes and observation of KAT-TUN fans and Kamestans, I wrote my "essay" about the amazing, bewireling, shocking...

The Kamenashi Effect
(awesome since 1986)
Or, how KAT-TUN, especially Kame, can change your life without making you realize it

21+ reasons to hate&love this man :D and what he did to his fans. )

Because just an awesome man can call for awesome fans, right? :)
iside89: (Chuu!Kokame)
Why I had no KoKame tag? *creates* I need a post to scream to the world KoKame exists to show what I noticed recently XD Yesterday evening I rewatched CUW performances... and wonder what I found?

[MS] 2010.11.19 CHANGE UR WORLD
vs [MS] 2011.04.01 PERFECT 
 
Same show! Same HAND! it's clearly a KOKAME EVIDENCE!!! XDD *irony*

And then: Kokame peace sign COMBO. [MS] 2011.05.20 WHITE

What do you want more from life, when you have KoKame? Because we need more KoKame in our lives.

When I was reading magazines, there are some scenes I can't really get over, too much is the cuteness.
(1&2) Tvfan11.07 - Really, Kame's satisfied smirk and Koki's happy face are so precious XD ♥ (3) The television 11.05.21 - Family pic! XD (4) Tvguide 11.05.21 *cling cling*


By the way, you can find many other over-awesome KoKame posts, way better than mine, at [livejournal.com profile] capslock_turtle  (here), at [livejournal.com profile] jokame and [livejournal.com profile] redina 's journal.

(Before someone thinks I've suddenly become crazy. I'm being ironic/sarcastic. I just wanted to share that funny thing about the "peace" sign :D)
iside89: (Kame jump)
Now that I've cooled down I can post XD
NMP TOUR 2010 Arrived!!! *_* )

When I returned to my pc, I still had Tweetdeck opened and I saw the second great news of the day: ULTIMATE WHEELS PREVIEW.
I was already exploding from the unexpected DVD arrive and while I was flailing over the DVD, KT played UW. DESTINY, FATE, UNMEI! *_____*
AND AND AND I CAN'T FLAIL ENOUGH OVER THE SINGLE TOO!
ultimate wheels ** )
iside89: (Tego FTW?)
No fandom drama here for now. So I'll go with a stupid entry XD Since lots of people I know in the last few days seem to be depressed or sad or emo or whatever, I bring you the ULTIMATE MEDICINE FOR YOUR SADNESS: JOHNNY'S IN DRAG!
Johnny's in drag )

ずっとハイフンでいてくれる? 
じゃ俺らもずっとKAT-TUNでいる。


KOKI YOU MADE ME CRY, I LOVE AND HATE YOU FOR THIS OMG ;_____________;

At first I didn't understand well the first sentence (it was 3am and I was rather sleepy lol), but after the second sentence I went back, I understood HYPHEN and I swear I cried. At the last 20 seconds of the DVD. T___T
"WIll you be always our hyphen? Then, we'll always be KAT-TUN."
SO MUCH LOVE I CAN'T EXPRESS IT OMG OMG *hearts and tears everywhere*
I think this was the first time that they/he used the word "hyphen" addressing to the fans this year? Coz they didn't call us seriously "hypens" until this year. I FEEL SO LOVED *______*
These boys deserve so much love, especially after this tough year. Oh they're so sweet, and Koki is such a lovely tsundere (I've never said that he's my 1,5 bias? Because I love him so much that 2nd place isn't enough, he sometimes jumps on 1st place instead of Kame, like this time). I just want to hug all of them five and say "you're loved, don't worry!"
I've never loved so much a band in my whole life. Really. I'm impressed and scared but really... this DVD is the best Christmas/New Year present I've received in the last years.

I'm putting everything in my luggage, I'm going to go to my friend's house to prepare everything for tomorrow party in around 2 hours and I won't have internet connection there.
I hope all of you have flailed/is flailing/will flail adequately on KT DVD because it's AWESOMEx10000^infinite. *__* I will join your flailing on 1st January, don't worry XD

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! SEE YOU IN 2011 ♥♥♥
iside89: (Kat-tun 5nin)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

So yeah, it's around 00.15 right now at my place ^^ It's already Christmas so... Merry X'mas to you all! As I said in my previous entry, I wish you all the best for this day and the next ones! But for New Year wishes, I'll wait the 1st of January LOL.
Let's continue with a FANGIRLING ENTRY. I know you all are already dead tired just because almost everyone has done a similar entry in the last 8 hours but anyway. I want to flail over fresh meat fresh performances. Someone had the misfortune to chat with me while I was completely out of me and my usual self-control simply was destroyed by:
-KT CM
-KT SINGLE
-KT RF+CUW
Oh, put in this way, this seems a riddle XD BTW, I had an awesome out-of-control chat seasoned with keymashings and capslock and blood losses --> TOO MUCH AWESOMENESS FOR JUST ONE DAY OTZ. *headdesk trying to control herself*

Order, Isi. Order.
Join the dark side, we have pics with ikemen! )
iside89: (KoKaNa)
*unable to say coherent sentences*

HELLA YEAH it arrived! *_* I almost screamed on the train when my mom at the phone said (with an unexpected happy voice LOL) "Oh, your cd is arrived", right after I ended bashing the demonstrators (all students) that blocked the railways for hours and hours. What a nice way to end my awful day! *____*
So... first of all. A HUGE, enormous THANKS THANKS THANKS to [livejournal.com profile] annneonet . Because yes, this CUW you see in this picture taken from an impossible angle (because here is 9pm and the flash erased Kame's face in the other photo LOL), is the one that I won thanks to the raffle in [livejournal.com profile] going_gonin community. So I'm going to worship her and love that community forever XD :-*

Photobucket

Funny fact: my mom, that isn't interested at all in KT-stuff (moreover, I guess she thinks "my daughter is still 15 years old" when she sees me fangirling X°°D), was pretty interested in this single, she started to read the various languages I won't say nothing about the random mistakes. When she looked at the boys, she said "Is this Kame?" *pointing at Kame without hesitation*
Me: "Yes!" *Isi starts to flail over the cover, etc etc*
At that moment I didn't even think that she isn't supposed to recognize them. I guess my KAT-TUN!bias, especially my Kame!bias, is terrible if even my mom, that can't tell Asian people apart, recognize Kame. LOL.
This is KAT-TUN's magic~~ XD

*goes back to jump all around the room*
