This is very much a belated update. Sorry for neglecting the site.

1. Release Date for “Bandage” set
The movie that Jin’s been promoting for a very long time now, “Bandage”, will be shown in theatres in Japan from 16 January 2010.

2. Jin’s Collaboration with Crystal Kay
In the BtR tour, Jin’s solo was a collaboration with Crystal Kay, titled “Wonder”. It’s not his only collaboration with her though, as it turns out. In her upcoming album release on 2nd September, “Best of Crystal Kay”, a new collaboration is included, titled “Helpess Night”. I think it’s only in the first press limited edition.

3. End of BtR Tour, Photobook soon in stores!
Today is the last day of the Break the Records Summer Tour. The guys are in Hokkaido if you didn’t know. About a week later, Live Document Photobook “Break the Records” will be out in stores. It features backstage photos and stuff like that.

Today, the first day’s concert of the 2009 Dome tour was completed!

Today, they also announced that there’ll be a Live Document Photobook, “Break the Records”. 208 pages, B4 size, 2100 yen. Released in August 2009. Think it’s focused on the 10 days at Tokyo Dome. *didn’t see anything about Osaka*

**edit 28 July: the photobook will be released on 31st August 2009!

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’s 4th album will be released on 29th April. No title for the album yet. There are two editions.

Limited Edition: 15 tracks + Special Booklet
Regular Edition: 15 tracks + 1 bonus track

The album includes 4 singles [Don't U Ever Stop, White X'mas (album version), One Drop, and Rescue]. Also, read somewhere that the album includes solo songs…

Pre-order is now available!

edit 30/3: Info taken from J-One Records, other song titles in the album include “SADISTIC LOVE”, “NEIRO”, “WATER DANCE”, “春夏秋冬”, “君道” and “MOON”.

“One Drop” is officially released tomorrow! Go get it! Particularly the limited edition that includes the PV and the “making of” footage!

One Drop = Theme song for Kami no Shizuku = Release of Kami no Shizuku photobook on 5th March. It’s a 128-page photobook, B5-size. Expect pics of Kame, Kame and Kame… and occasionally his co-stars I guess. XP

Previously posted as a rumour, it’s now confirmed that KAT-TUN will be releasing the song for Yuichi’s drama, but the title is now “Rescue“. It is set to be released on 11 March 2009.

Like “One Drop” (to be released 11 February!), there are 3 versions again. Limited Edition = “Rescue” and 1 other Track + DVD (making of & the PV itself). Regular Edition = “Rescue” and 1 other track + karaoke versions of both songs. 1st Press Regular Edition = “Rescue” + TWO (2) other tracks.

Speaking of March, if you don’t already know (where have you been??), Ueda’s stage show “Romeo & Juliet” will be starting during that month as well, specifically on the 4th! It was previously mentioned here.

To end off, just a gentle reminder that Yuichi’s drama, “RESCUE~ Tokubetsu Koudo Kyuujotai” starts THIS SATURDAY in Japan!
