KAT-TUN's "Chain" Tour Kicks-Off Today

KAT-TUN

KAT-TUN's tour for their album "Chain" officially starts today (Feb 11th, 5pm Japan time) at Toki Messe Niigata Convention Center. The tour will end with a concert at Tokyo Dome on April 22nd.

Concert goods were also out.

edit: the Sendai concerts have been decided, dates TBA

edit info: NEW SOLOS PERFORMED
thanks  to mixaka for the details!

Kame: Ballad is nice but the performance was just him standing there singing. A bit of a let down for me given his last 2 solo performances. However Dracula and his dentist did make a re-appearance later in the show!

Ueda: His solo followed Kame's. Kame dropped though the floor and it started 'snowing' then the white lights on the snow all started turning red and we get the intro of a strait up rock song. Cue Ueda with a furry guitar rocking it out, totally in English (or Engrish depending on how you look at it). Excellent rock beat but the lyrics get a little......strange.

Koki: Brings the lulz with 'Dangerous Cat'. He was in a captain-type costume with 2 female dancers dressed as cats. Song has a dog/cat theme. Plenty of growling, good boy-ing, and meo-wing from Koki. At one point during the song, he has 4 juniors on chain leashes.

Junno: Dances in a super sliver jacket. I'm sure he could use his jacket as a mirror with no problems. Nice song, interesting dance.

Maru: Him and the dancers all had on suits that lit up. Started by 'pressing' his suit and having a small heart appear in lights. Then the whole suit lit up. In the later half of the performance, the lights turn off and all you can see is the lights on the suits moving while everyone dances. Very cool effect.

they apparently performed a lot of the songs that had been piling up since last year, including the B-sides that rock
Bring on the fire guys....

Love the photo you used *____* And I can't wait for full reports, twitter is flooded from bits and pieces already :)

Best of luck to them, I feel extremely excited :D :D

I'm glad Kame's solo is a ballad. I think that genre suits his vocal range the most. :) And YAY for performing the B-sides! I've been loving their B-sides as of late, as opposed to (some of) the pre-2010 B-sides. Sometimes I even like them more than the carrier singles.

Here's to hoping for the success of this concert! Stay awesome, boys, you've come a long way. \:D/

Just got back from the show! Trying to write up my report of the con and also the premium backstage tour (yay!). Here's a little more info on the solos.

Kame: Ballot is nice but the performance was just him standing there singing. A bit of a let down for me given his last 2 solo performances. However Dracula and his dentist did make a re-appearance later in the show!

Ueda: His solo followed Kame's. Kame dropped though the floor and it started 'snowing' then the white lights on the snow all started turning red and we get the intro of a strait up rock song. Cue Ueda with a furry guitar rocking it out, totally in English (or Engrish depending on how you look at it). Excellent rock beat but the lyrics get a little......strange.

Koki: Brings the lulz with 'Dangerous Cat'. He was in a captain-type costume with 2 female dancers dressed as cats. Song has a dog/cat theme. Plenty of growling, good boy-ing, and meo-wing from Koki. At one point during the song, he has 4 juniors on chain leashes.

Junno: Dances in a super sliver jacket. I'm sure he could use his jacket as a mirror with no problems. Nice song, interesting dance.

OH MY GOD, KOKI. SO MOE...
ocha_suki 11th-Feb-2012 02:53 pm (UTC)
thank you for the report
yucchi outfit reminds me of Pi's (last NEWS con.) or Aiba's (BnMF-Magical Song) ;)
chizzyrei 11th-Feb-2012 02:57 pm (UTC)
thank you for this. I think Kame might just spice things up for his solos when Dome concerts begin. He needs a larger space to pull another 1582.
and i really want to hear Ueda's solo rn.

is that chain's venue picture? gorgeous *____________*
i cant wait to read report xD
mixaka 11th-Feb-2012 02:50 pm (UTC)
Nope. The photo is from an older Dome concert. Niigata is a much smaller venue and they didn't sing Don't you ever stop.

Ueda kind of looks like Yusuke from Ouran

namira8394 11th-Feb-2012 02:47 pm (UTC)
I need them to sing Sweet Chain and harmonizing. Other songs I hope they sing/fancams of Give Me Give Me Give Me and elfin Star Rider. Yuuki no Hana, Cosmic Child. Make or Break. UGH SO MANY SONGS TO CHOOSE FROM, THEY SHOULD SING ALL OF IT.
chizzyrei 11th-Feb-2012 02:52 pm (UTC)
I think they sang everything you mentioned, plus Never X Over, except Make or Break. Yuki no Hana was the ending song.
