KT-TUN to tour Asia ~ A to perform in LA

KT-TUN to tour Asia A to perform in LA

KAT-TUN will be touring Asia some time in the near future, only, they will be touring as a 5-member group. Jin Akanishi will be heading back to America for a bit to work on a 3-show tour in LA, instead.

KAT-TUN will be performing in several venues throughout Asia, starting 2nd May. The tour will finish in some time around August (or so I believe). This includes two tours, the first being a tour around Japan only, and the second being a tour of Asia. There are also rumours of a Hawaii-based live. Here is a list of the venues;

From the looks of it, Taiwan's shows haven't been planned out yet.

As for Jin, he'll be heading of to California sometime in June. He will perform 3 shows over a space of two days, all three being held at Club Nokia. The first live starts on the 19th June. He plans to perform his shows mostly in English, as well. He wont be attending either of the KAT-TUN tours, as he plans to be working solo in the US for quite a while, returning sometime in October. Jin wont be leaving KAT-TUN (Thank God for that). He will also officially be the first member of Johnny's to perform solo in the US. He's probably also gone their to perfect his English (when he was a guest on Hanamaru he said this was something he wanted to do).

Even if they have gone in different directions for the time being, we, as fans, should continue to support the group as a whole.

Happy Birthday...

I haven't used this blog in ages...

To get back in the flow of things, I decided to make a theme dedicated to a very recent birthday.
First of all, I'm just going to say Happy Birthday to my buddy, KK, whose birthday was the 25th (i.e; yesterday).
Now, even though where he lives it's already the 27th, and his birthday has long passed, I just want to say Happy Birthday to Hey! Say! JUMP's 2nd oldest member...

Yuya Takaki

He's 20-years old, now! (:O Wow...That seems big for a H!S!J member =P)
Well, yeah, hope he had a lovely day~

Phob~!
