[HIDE]Akanishi Jin of KAT-TUN (25) will perform live in Los Angeles in June for two days (T/N: he'll be there for 24 days? maybe there's a typo in the article). These solo performances will be the first Johnny's artist in history to perform in the United States. KAT-TUN's decision to hold a concert tour of Asia in May-August. Even during the first month, Akanishi will not participate in the tour. The jimusho says that he will not leave the group, as that would be unusual, because of his solo career. KAT-TUN and Akanishi Jin will both be going worldwide. Beginning on July 16, there will be 31 days of tour, including Bangkok, Thailand and Seoul, Korea then back to the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, then to Taipei, Taiwan for this "BIG WORLD TOUR". After the 8 consecutive days in the Tokyo Dome last year, this year they are challenging themselves with an overseas tour. There could also be a possible show in Hawaii, making them the first JE group to perform in the US. Between May 2 and June 27, known as the "Arena Tour" there will be a total of 21 performances in 10 cities. Akanishi will be unable to attend. Kame comments about One member (Jin), having this chance and that he should hold onto it tightly and make the most of this situation.[/HIDE] Source: http://community.livejournal.com/kattunlove/5980886.html#cutid1 Mixed feelings here.. reasons.. 1) Yay, KAT-TUN having their first Asia Tour!! 2) Boo, Jin isn't with KAT-TUN for their first Asia Tour. 3) Yay, KAT-TUN may have a new studio album 4) Boo, Jin may not be in the studio album since not part of this tour, kinda like Cartoon KAT-TUN II You. 5) Yay, Jin is having his own solo activities in overseas! 6) Boo, Jin is leaving for 6 months again (back in 2006 he left). It is said that no activities are planned after October for Jin. Rumours are said that Jin will be leaving KAT-TUN for his own solo carreer, but Jimusho & Jin highly said it's untrue.
i dont think he enjoys being in the group anyway, i can see tension between him and kame is getting worse, they rarely talk at all, just no interaction. prob. want to leave group, but johnny will threaten him to stay.
i really wish Jin would stay with KAT-TUN on their first Asia Tour! but still i guess it was his dream to perform in America, so...i guess its good to both sides. and maybe a bigger expansion for Johnny's artist. i still love KAT-TUN nonetheless, just that they are complete without Akanishi Jin-senpai. Whats going to happy to "Peacefuldays, KT-TUN".
