Chain ballons lifted in the air
On April 22nd, popular group KAT-TUN held a press conference before their concert at Tokyo Dome, and commented about former member Akanishi Jin’s marriage with Kuroki Meisa.
Tanaka Koki shared, “We also didn’t know about the marriage until media reported it.“
Kame: Because he didn't contact us, we didn't know how we should comment (on the situation). We also didn't know. But I think [The members of KAT-TUN] were the least surprised. We were the most surprised when he studied abroad.
According to reports, Akanishi Jin’s decision to study abroad in 2006 as well as his withdrawal from KAT-TUN in 2010 were only made known to the members after the fact.
Kame: We weren't surprised. I think we were the least surprised in the whole world. (quote from Nikkan Sports)
Kame: This was like the other shoe dropping. We, as 5 members, were not surprised. It was said that we were cold for not saying anything... As a person, let me normally say congratulations. (Daily Sports)
About Kuroki got pregnant, Kamenashi said, “It’s something to be congratulated on.” However, he also added, Because [Marriage] is also about your partner, we want him to do it properly/normally.(NTV)
KAT-TUN is in middle of their concert tour ‘CHAIN‘, which will take place in twelve cities. The final concert will be in Sendai on the 28th.
