So apparently, サプライズ (Surprise on 日本テレビ NTV) may be showing live footage from the 18 May concert, from 19:00～19:58. Either that or it’s just random KAT-TUN promo thing. I dunno.

[edit: 14 may] Confirmed!: And rumour for now: Kame guest starring in episode 3 of “Mr. Brain” (ie: Kimura Takuya’s drama, which also has Mizushima Hiro). Supposedly, he’s a doctor / was in a white coat according to fan reports. [edit: 14 may] News reports say he’s a young physician in a university hospital. The third episode will be shown on 6 June.

So, I forgot to post about this… or rather, was waiting for official news to pop up, although it was already pretty obvious from all the fan reports. If you don’t already know…

Kame’s in 「ごくせん THE MOVIE」 which will be shown in theatres in Japan from 11 July 2009.

He will of course reprise his role as Odagiri Ryu, who I think will be a 教育実習生 at that new school. No, there is nothing about a Yabuki Hayato returning in the movie. Maybe it’s because a certain someone ain’t supposed to have a movie debut until 2010 with a certain movie.

Koki’s in a drama again! Except, wait, it’s not really a new drama per se, but an existing one in which he’s going to join the cast.

The show? 必殺仕事人 2009 (Hissatsu Shigotonin 2009). It’s a TV Asahi super-long drama that’s on air on Friday’s at 9pm. Koki will be joining the drama from episode 13 onwards, which will air on 24th April. His character’s called 仕立て屋の匳(れん).

It also looks like he’s gone bald again (at least from what I saw on the website)! So apparently he’s been wearing a wig recently or something? *not sure cos too lazy to read the articles*

The album covers are out on J-One Records & Johnnys Net. Black. Again. How refreshing! XD Anyway, don’t forget that the album comes out on 29th April!

Edit @ 3.27PM: Apparently, (I could be wrong but) Koki also sews in the drama. How awesome is that? XD Koki + Sewing = FTW.

The album is titled “Break the Records -by you & for you-” and J-One Records has listed out the full tracklist!

1.DON’T U EVER STOP
2.SADISTIC LOVE
3.RESCUE
4.WATER DANCE
5.ONE DROP
6.WHITE WORLD (中丸雄一)
7.care (赤西 仁)
8.1582 (亀梨和也)
9.PIERROT (田中 聖)
10.花の舞う街 (上田竜也)
11.WIND (田口淳之介)
12.君道
13.春夏秋冬
14.White X’mas (Album Version)
15.NEIRO
16.MOON (BONUS TRACK)

The album version of “White X’mas” has a rap written by Koki. @_@;; I wonder what the song will sound like. For the solos, only Kame & Yuichi didn’t write their own songs. Ueda, Koki & Junno actually wrote both the lyrics and music to theirs, which isn’t surprising for Ueda and Koki, but surprising for Junno I must say.

But the main point is: Do you see track 7? Finally, we’ll get Jin’s “Care” in CD QUALITY! *_* Of course it also means he was lazy and didn’t write any new songs. XD *gets kicked*

KAT-TUN have added shows to their 2009 Dome Tour!

It won’t be 7 straight days in Tokyo Dome anymore… It’ll be 8 days! They’ve added a show on the 22nd May.

A few days later, they’ll be heading over to Osaka to have concerts at Kyocera Dome (京セラドーム) on 3 days, from 29th to 31st May.

Then after that, it’s back to Tokyo Dome for another 2 more days on 14th and 15th June.

To summarise, it’s 10 days in Tokyo Dome, and 3 in Kyocera Dome!
