The Fifth Season

It's spring but chill still
Snowing after two and a half years
From a belief that I had,
I placed you in the container
Of love and sorrow
The lid never comes off
I wanted it to be snowing inside of me
And never melt there

But every time you're near
You stir my heart again
Now I'm losing my sense of seasons
I know it's love

It’s overflowing
It’s overflowing

I hear clock ticks louder than usual
The summer went away faster than I thought
Engraved your name on this song

But every time you're near
You stir my heart again
Now I'm losing my sense of seasons
I know it's love

It’s overflowing
It’s overflowing

Chilly fall is peeling my feelings
I murmur that vow
I made to myself and asked
The moonless night to lead you away from me
But even they failed to
Change your color to me

The winter pretends it's mild and holds me
A cutting wind carries and rewinds you around me
My steps go nowhere
I scratched it from my memory
And try to approach the next season

But every time you're near
You stir my heart again
Now I'm losing my sense of seasons
I know it's love

It’s overflowing
It’s overflowing

It’s overflowing
Because you’re everything I need
It’s overflowing
Now make me right again
It's overflowing

~ Akanishi Jin [Yellow Gold Tour 3011 DVD]

Moon River

Moon River, wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style some day.
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker,
wherever you're going I'm going your way.
Two drifters off to see the world.
There's such a lot of world to see.
We're after the same rainbow's end--
waiting 'round the bend,
my huckleberry friend,
Moon River and me.

~ Johnny Mercer (Lyricist)

Even if you cry, it’s one day.
Even if you laugh, it’s one day.
Since that’s the case, let’s live that one day laughing.

~ Akanishi Jin [Cartoon KAT-TUN II You concert]

Hesitate

Your lonely back after you fall asleep, I find precious
I can't force myself to talk about my feelings
The lips I kissed are still wet
It's so quiet, even sighs sound distant

Lets stop already, stop cowering and aching
It's okay if you stumble, it's okay if you're uncool

Everything what I say
Once upon a time of you and me
Never forever, I'm alone

Silence that feels like it would shatter

If perhaps I told you how I feel right now,
I can't return anymore, so for now I'll just hold you

One out of a hundred million people
I found in you the place I belong
If you feel constrained, just cast off your skin
If you draw near, I'm right here

Everything what I say
Once upon a time of you and me
Never forever, I'm alone

Silence that feels like it would shatter

If perhaps I told you how I feel right now,
I can't return anymore, so for now I'll just hold you

~Akanishi Jin

Interview question: What do you want KAT-TUN to be like in the future?
Kame: I think we'd like to be like the ocean.
The six of us are all different types of rivers, with different shapes and speeds.
And these rivers find a way to a place called KAT-TUN
*AT-TUN looks at Kame kind of amazed*
And there are no oil spills there, or trash, and we will all keep on changing, every day.
So we would all like to become that kind of a beautiful ocean.
(looks smug and thinks to himself) Yes! That's perfect~
Jin and Koki: Boo! He planned this! I bet he is going to say something like "I'm joking!" in the end right?
Kame: Eh? I wasn't going to say that!
Koki and Jin: *kind of frozen in place*
Jin: But it's also important to us to know... that all the members are enjoying themselves.
Ueda: *getting all fired up and sparkly* It's like there's never been a group like us before!
Like, an impossible sort of group! It's like we are heading world wide!
Breaking out of all limitations easily!
Kame: You have got to be kidding...
Nakamaru: Even though all have individual work, we always return to being together. So it's like that is our goal; our meeting place.
KA-UN: How about you guys? Koki and Taguchi?
Koki and Junno: *together at the same time* I think its fine the way it is.
KA-UN: *falls dramatically*
Koki: Uwaa! They are actually in sync!
Taguchi: Only in these type of things!
Ueda: *recovering slightly* Taguchi... What happend to your service?
Kame: *looking frazzled* You're making the writer cry!
Taguchi: But, I really like it the way it is now! We won't actually know where we end up in the future, even if we think about it now. For now, everyone is watching us, even the news, we don't really have much freedom. This is a hard world.
Koki: I think in KAT-TUN, it's important to become free, and do all the things we want to do.
Nakamaru: Yeah, you actually become violent during concerts! *refering to Kaizoku captain Koki*
Koki: Yep! It's the best! *thumbs up sign*

(KAT-TUN):
But whatever shape we become, KAT-TUN won't really change, and that's good!
Yeah, we'll probably do something stupid till the end!
True!

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga

Jin: (to himself) Kame was with me in Gokusen, but this time I'm by myself.
It'll be different from before, and it seems fresh in a new environment.
From Gokusen to Anego, it was hard for me because it was one ofter the other.
Plus my life style changed...
Waking up at 3 a.m. shower, and then go to the set at 4 a.m. Then record until 3 a.m.
It made no sense at all! I don't know!
*lying his head down on his bag*
Urgh, I've had enough of this.
*cell phone starts to ring*
Urgh make it silent...
*cell phone stops ringing*
I always lose my temper when I don't have enough sleep, and my motivation goes down and then I get angry at myself for being like this.
Why am I getting angry over somthing like this?
I'm being stupid!
(outloud) I'm a small person.
Koki: Yeah, we already know that you're that kind of a person.
Ueda: Why are you making an announcement out of it now?
Jin: HUH? *annoyed*
But wearing the suit in Anego does make me look more adult...
KT-TUN: But that's just because of the suit! You look older, but inside you're still a kid! It's your fault!
That's bad!
Jin: . . . *pfftish*
Junno: But that's just the way you are and there's nothing wrong with it, Akanishi-kun!
Nakamaru: No ones expecting anything different from you now!
KT-TUN: *grinning supportively*
Jin: *kinda shocked before breaking into a sparkly grin* Haha~ You idiots~
(to himself again)
I found out that I didn't need words like 'Good Luck", but just words like this.
When I'm with the other five of them, it's okay to be the useless me.

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga

Koki: *upon realizing that he has to share the room with Jin*
It's Akanishi!!
I wanted to stay calm and peaceful...
Inside my own world...
But I'm with Akanishi until next morning!
Stuck with Akanishi until morning!
Jin: *blabbing while they are in their beds*
I wanted to do fireworks with my friend one day, but it was raining.
But we still wanted to do it so we went outside, and then the rain stopped!
And then after we finished with the fireworks, the rain started to fall again!
Isn't it cool? I think it was destiny!
Koki: *thinks from where he is lying wit his back to Jin*
Why is he so hyper at night?!
And it's nothing like destiny!
Jin: Koki, did you fall asleep?
. . .
To tell the truth, I actually feel really good when I come back to KAT-TUN after I do my job alone.. ^_^
*suddenly shaking Koki a bit to see if he's really asleep*
Koki? Did you really fall asleep?!
Koki: *blushes and fakes snoring*

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga

Jin: Oh yeah, so how are we going to choose roommates?
Kame: Taguchi is with me!
Nakamaru: I want Taguchi too!
*heated discussion*
Junno: I guess its difficult to be popular!
KA-TUN: No! It's not that!
Nakamaru: It's just that you fold our clothes and make it neat!
Jin: Staying with Taguchi makes me feel good because it's so clean~
*Atmosphere of a showdown between KA-TUN, with Junno grining happily in the midst of it*

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga

Kame: Where's my pillow?!
Nakamaru: Ah, Me, I'm using it. *lying on kame's pillow as well as his own*
Kame: Give it back!
Nakamaru: *ignores*
Kame: *majorly annoyed* GIVE IT BACK!! It's not even funny!!
Nakamaru: *STILL ignores*
Kame: *snaps*
*start ~> fight!*
Koki: *looks up a bit from where he's lying down and thinks* Again...
Jin: Tsk tsk, I can't belive you guys fight over such tiny things!

Later on...

Jin: Huh? Does anyone know where my Dried Squid is?
*notices it sticking out of Maru's mouth and explodes, grabing his collar*
Nakamaru! Stop eating my dried squid!
Nakamaru: Well you ate my Sweet Jelly the last time!
*start ~> fight!*
Kame: Tsk tsk, I can't belive you guys fight over such tiny things.
Ueda and Koki: You too!
Junno: It's pretty normal in KAT-TUN *calmly munching on something*

Yamapi & Jin Letters

Jin:

Dear Yamashita Tomohisa,
Everyone says that Yamashita is mature, but when we're playing, he is totally different.
He is more energetic than anyone to the point of being annoyingly loud.
But you know, I am the person who knows what really goes on in his heart.
He is lonelier than anyone, but he refuses to admit it to anyone.
*Yamapi smiles gently at that*
That's why he is naturally so reclusive.
He acts that way because he starts thinking about the loneliness of saying 'bye bye' to that person as soon as he meets someone.
But, once, we had this huge fight and we said we would no longer be friends.
That time, walking home, I was seriously upset,
but then when I went home, I found you sitting there chatting and having dinner with my mom!
*Yamapi smiles and starts shaking his head from side to side adorably*
Whats more, you were even sitting on my chair!
Whats more, you didn't even say a single word to me!
Whats more, you went into my room before me and slept there!
What was that?
I think that things remaining that way for around three months was definitely strange.
*Both Pi and Jin smile adorably, and Jin starts again with an awkward-embarrassed laugh*
But even with your stubbornness and your loneliness... I still love you.
Umm.. Let's continue being friends.

Yamapi:

*has difficulty starting*
Umm, Dear Jin
Time flies.
It seems that this is the 6th Christmas we'll be spending together.
To be honest, my first impression of Jin was very bad.
*Jin smiles shyly*
I thought, "That guy is trying too hard to act cool."
But we soon became friends.
We are both very stubborn so we often fight.
We are petty and won't listen to reason.
That vice prevents either of us from being able to say "sorry".
But, when I stopped talking to you, I felt very lonely.
There were many times I thought, "I should apologize,"
but in the end I never said anything.
So, I've decided on what I want from Santa this year;
I want Akanishi Jin to have the courage to say "Sorry" to me-
*Jin looks kinda confused and says 'Oi'*
and, I want the courage to say that too.
From Yamashita Tomohisa

Shounen Club KAT-TUN X'Mas Special with NEWS as guests (2004.12.12)

It's true that I fell asleep on the train and missed my stop. But you can't really blame me, in my dream, I was also on the train, and when it was my stop, I got out like I was supposed to.

~Akanishi Jin

No, I don't like writing mails on my cellphone. It's much easier to make a phone call than to press those tiny buttons one after the other.

~Akanishi Jin

The idiot who goes around calling everyone idiots is the idiot who doesn't know how idiotic he is.

Kurosawa Akihiko: Let me have sometime to think...
Noda Naoko: Around how long?
Kurosawa Akihiko: Umm... around... five... years?

ムラサキ

(Murasaki
Purple)

You have a special someone else
But still the two of us met, didn't we?
The sunrise we saw together
Was a beautiful purple, wasn't it?

Accidentally catching a glimpse of the loneliness
Until the day I am able to embrace you

The "goodbye" I cannot say properly
Sincerely changed me
I’m bad with words
but I feel the urgent need to say “I love you”

If that is a warm place
Will you always make the flowers bloom?
The closer I get to you
The further away you seem to be

If that is a warm place
Will you always make the flowers bloom?
I should have given up
But even now, I only love you

The "goodbye" I cannot say properly
Sincerely changed me
I’m bad with words
but I feel the urgent need to say “I love you”

If that is a warm place
Will you always make the flowers bloom?
The closer I get to you
The further away you seem to be

The purple sky we saw on that day
I hope we can go and see it again...

~Akanishi Jin [KAT-TUN]

Care

Between conspiracies and lies
I carry an awkward love
In the days I was becoming sick of
Being chased by time
I felt a little freedom

After a number of years pass
This will become only a memory so
Those partly forgotten memories and now
I tried to interlace them

Because the things I hold precious became too much
Its become difficult to walk today

No matter when, we and surely everyone too
Are carrying some amount of sadness and weaknesses
Even if we sometimes fall
In the strength to take a step forward
There will surely be smiles waiting, for the amount of tears we cried

In the days that go by [In the world of rules]
Even if I started to loose sight of something
In that way, yes, from my side, making sure I don't release the hand I clasped

For instance even if you become hurt
Everyone's love will change color many times
And the day you become tired and lean on me
How ever you are I'll still hug you tightly

No matter when, we and surely everyone too
Are carrying some amount of sadness and weaknesses
Even if we sometimes fall
In the strength to take a step forward
There will surely be smiles waiting, for the amount of tears we cried

Believe in yourself

~ Akanishi Jin

Matsumoto Jun: I sent in my application, and then, without an audition, I got a phone call saying, "come now"
Akanishi Jin: So you're saying you were chosen for your face, weren't you?
I think you've been treated rather delicately.
*nods*
Next to "Matsumoto Jun" should be written "Ability Unnecessary"
