Music: KAT-TUN


from left to right: Taguchi, Nakamaru, Kamenashi, Ueda and Tanaka

Yosha minna! Let's talk about KAT-TUN! Weeeeee!
You might ask who?oO
Well, basically KAT-TUN is a Japanese boys band, obviously or not... who knows? 

Anyways, KAT-TUN is under a big music company called Johnny's Entertainment. When I say big, it's more like HUGE ^^" (Probably as big as SMent in Korea) But let's not change subjet and let's go back to the main subject.



Formed in 2006 with 6 members and since 2010 5, KAT-TUN is considered as an idol group. So, not only they sing and dance but they also play in dramas, CF and even had their own variety shows (Cartoon KAT-TUN & KAT-TUN no Zettai Manetakunaru Terebi)

Visually speaking, KAT-TUN differs from other Johnny's groups. For example, you'll never EVER see them dancing happily in a meadow. Unless, if singing around a heart-shaped asteroid counts, then yes, but generally you don't. And sometimes their fashion style leaves much to be desired , but on that part I blame their stylist...
That jacket is a big no no for me


Does it count ? Not sure
        



Like I said above, they visually differ from other groups, but also musically speaking.
Some differences are very noticeable like, it's the only group who has rap and beat-boxing parts in almost all of their songs. Also, they're not just doing one type of music, they tried lots of stuffs and still do. You can say that it's their trade mark.
Also, when you look at the lyrics of their songs, it's also different. When Arashi sings about their newly founded love, KAT-TUN sings about separation and difficulties in life, not only that, though. 

For example:


the only one where I've seen them smile: White

other songs: Ultimate Wheels; Run for you, Lock On, Change your world; LIPS; Don't you ever stop 

Another thing that is different ,unlike others, the fans have an official name like KISSme for UKISS. The fans are called Hyphens. Hyphen, because without the fans, they say, there would be no KAT-TUN. 


And last, but not least, what does KAT-TUN stand for?? Well it's quite simple:
You take the first letter of their last name and there you have it, with the exception of Kamenashi Kazuya (it's the "K" & the "A").
So it's like that:



That's it folks ;D
I hope you'll like them as much as I do
Have a good listening ^ . ^/

Yours truly...
