I'm his fan before eight years old. I went to the live of KAT-TUN to which he belonged before 5 times. The background of this blog is also his CD jacket.

He is free and a person who pursues what he himself opted for. Of course, he is cool. And I yearned after a way of life like him, and took to him.

He liked hip-hop, and in order to study English, he went to the United States. He performed the live in the United States, after becoming a singer of the solo.

 

 

He is very good at a song. If his song is heard, I will become the feeling included in his world.

 

I like his sweet voice very much. I will become a painful feeling if especially I listen to this music.

 

 

 

His daughter was born the other day. Congratulation!

He starts various problems. I am his fan all the time, and aid him.

I went to Mr. children's live on January 23. This live was due to be performed in fact on January 3. But, it had been postponed by the poor health of Mr. Suzuki of a drum.



The live was excited very much. As for this live, the music of this album was mainly sung.






Although every music is wonderful, I like "the tree of an imitation." Also in the live, this music was visionary using the colorful color, and was very good production. In addition to this, they sang everybody's favorite music. For example, Esora, fanfare, Hero and many other songs.
I took to them more because I could go to the live. Musical power is wonderful!


P.S.
I have influenza now. Everybody also needs to take care!

In fact, I don't so like visual band. So I was not interested in them.
I knew them with the song "Memeshikute".

 

This music is very bright and interesting. They are the visual band, but they don't play the instruments! They do performance, for example, dancing. This dance is very funny. They participated in Kouhaku songs match game with this music.

I thought why are they popular, because I thought they are the joke group. Then, I read Darubisshu's blog. His blog is very popular.

In the blog, he was very thankful to their fan and family about being able to participate in Kouhaku songs match game. I got to know they are not only joke. I think the human who can be thankful to other persons is wonderful as a person.

 

I introduce his blog, but it is Japanese blog.

She is a singer representing Japan from Fukuoka. She doesn't have a father. She was doing various work of a model, an apparel salesclerk and so on, because she was pressed for money. After a debut, she always continued being a Japanese top singer.
When I was a schoolchild or a junior high school student, she was our fashion leader and existence of yearning. We had imitated her makeup and dress. Actually, I wore "the tail" to the waist.

This is picture of "the tail".




But I searched, I wasn't able to find her song (English version). Sorry...

I think that they are the one of band representing Japan. I think that Miwa Yoshida is the best singer in Japan. Her voice has very powerful high-pitched tone. To the contrary, she can sing with addressing to us gently.
I think that their representation song is this song. I will be happy if I listen this song.

When winter comes, I want to come to listen this song. Although I love this song, I'm difficult  English and cannot sing English....

The song which I can sing best is their music "Mirai Yosouzu Ⅱ".
Oh, I want to go to Karaoke! I want to sing!

In recent years, many Korean singers are in Japan. But, I think that BoA is a Korean singer's pioneer.
She is writing the lyrics by herself. She studied Japanese. She is so cute and good at dancing. I like her songs, for example, VALENTI, LISTEN TO MY HEART, Nanairo no Ashita, and....

And she sings many ballade songs. Especially, I like the song "Merikuri." This song is the Christmas song. Her voice is clear and easy to listen.

 

In 2008, she put the debut album in the United States. She will play an active part in the world from now on.
