On Sunday, Akanishi Jin (26) held a fan club event at Zepp Tokyo, his first public appearance in Japan since leaving KAT-TUN in July. During the event, he talked about his U.S. tour this coming November, as well as his plans for next year. At the moment, he is looking to release his next single simultaneously in the U.S. and Japan.
Akanishi performed a total of 8 songs including "Eternal," which is the leading candidate for the upcoming single. He plans to release that single in Japan in early 2011. Johnny's Entertainment is currently in talks with multiple record labels in the U.S. to negotiate a simultaneous release.
Akanishi is also planning a solo album and a Japan tour, though details have not yet been determined.
During the event, Akanishi did not touch on the subject of his departure from KAT-TUN. At the press conference after the event, he explained that he already made his announcement on his blog, so he felt there was no need to talk about it. However, he acknowledged that his withdrawal from the group was very sudden, so he apologized to the other members for the trouble it caused. At the same time, he said he would like to see both KAT-TUN and himself rise up to a higher level as artists together.
Akanishi stated that he hopes to have Japan as his base for his international activities, and he would like to spread out to Europe and other parts of Asia, in addition to the U.S. (Tokyograph)
Hmmm, "other parts of Asia". Come to Singapore, Jin? :D

Haha, I wish I knew them! No, I don't know them personally at all and anything I know about them comes from the Internet/magazines.
To the other sweetie that asked me another Formspring question, I'll reply to that another time! I'm just too tired to translate anything now... :( My exams are in 3 weeks or 24 days or some other really horrifying number and I've wasted the past 4 days just bumming around, not even doing anything productive.

This is a pictorial post because I'm too tired to look for news :(( Yamapi, Matsujun and Ikuta Toma
Yamshita Tomohisa, spotted while out by himself. As usual, an *cough* interesting outfit. Before you accuse me of being biased, I say this about almost every Johnny and I love them all. XD
And him and Aribu Yuu having the same necklace. (This was from some time back)
Matsumoto Jun, like Yamapi, out on his own. As usual, an *ahem* interesting outfit.
And just in case your eyes were ruined by the alien clothes, here's some love from Ikuta Toma and Yampi for you. You find youself falling in love with JE once again~

Nakama Yukie FRIDAY'd with Tanaka Tetsushi
The weekly magazine FRIDAY has caught actress Nakama Yukie (30) and actor Tanaka Tetsushi (43) together. Rumors about the two of them being in a relationship have been around since last year, but this time it seems that FRIDAY has managed to get a two-shot of the couple.
Tanaka was seen entering Nakama's in mid-September. Last night (30 September) at 10:00pm, Tanaka was seen walking along a sidewalk with a slender woman who had long hair, and looked like Nakama Yukie. There was also a second woman present. Tanaka's agency has mentioned that all three of them are just friends.
Nakama and Tanaka were co-stars in last year's drama, "Untouchable". (Entame, Entame)

Shibasaki Kou and Oda Yuji for 2011 drama
It was reported in August that Fuji TV has green-lit a television sequel to the 2009 movie "Amalfi: Megami no Hoshu," which starred actor Oda Yuji (42). More details have now been released, including the casting of Shibasaki Kou (29) as the female lead.
The drama series, titled "Gaikoukan Kuroda Kosaku," will bring Oda back as the diplomat Kosaku Kuroda, who now has to take on matters such as domestic terrorism as well as international affairs. Settings include San Francisco, Mexico, and Japan, with part of the series planned to be filmed overseas. Kuroda's backstory will also be covered.
Shibasaki will play the part of a police detective who works with Kuroda. She previously acted on-screen with Oda in the 2006 movie "Kenchou no Hoshi" (also known as "Star Reformer").
Filming has just started, even though the series will not start until January 2011 in the Thursday 10:00pm time slot. Kagawa Teruyuki (44), Kaho (19), and Kusakari Tamiyo (45) have also been cast. (Tokyograph)
