19 years of KAT-TUN has come to an end.
I am upset that we didn't get a proper farewell concert, even if it wasn't for the 20th anniversary.


I had hoped that now with adult money I could make the trip to Japan to see them in concert.


But as hyphens we've gotten used to things not going to plan.


With KAT-TUN gone, this is my last straw. The last group that I still follow in the agency and in Jpop. With this, I'll probably done with all of it.

 After 3 weeks of our minds spinning, finally MYSTERY SOLVED... pic.twitter.com/9yYMmmS2Be
Some hyphens were able to find these images that represented each letter of KAT-TUN behind the mysterious 3 dot cover for each version of Roar. Must admire the coding skill. Really can't catch a break with these guys teasing us every chance they get but I love it. No theories yet on why the member colors are kinda not in the right letters and are kinda random. But now that there's a digital version, does that mean that one is the hyphen?  Also in other news it's so sad that the first 3 concerts for the 15th Anniversary Live are cancelled. Since the online concert was supposed to be live, it's probably cancelled too but they are still selling tickets for the online one and haven't made any date changes so I guess we have to wait for announcements.

 KAT-TUN really has tons of surprises up their sleeves for the 15th anniversary! Aside from the online concert on the day of on March 22nd, they're also having a live eve of event which is also right after one of their concerts. And there's no additional need to buy tickets for it if you buy one copy each of the five versions of Roar, excluding the fan club version, and this also gets you streaming access to the member solo PVs!

I'm so excited and I'm somehow imagining something similar to the post Arafes encore event where they're all just drinking after watching themselves work hard for the day. Except KAT-TUN's online concert won't be until the next day, in which case they'll be drinking and hyping us up and maybe going down memory lane and getting sappy?? Combination of post concert, alcohol, and 15th year feels? 

As always there are many other ways to support as stated by this one hyphen right here (I just used Google Translate). And don't forget to join these fanprojects for the 15th anniversary!

Goods for KAT-TUN's 15th Anniversary Live went on sale today. If you're in the fan club, you can join the lottery to watch their concert in person which will be held from March. If you can't watch in person or are not in the fan club, you can watch their online concert on March 22nd, Monday, which is also their debut date. This is a live concert with audience which will also be streamed online for fans that are unable to make it. It starts from 18:00 onwards Japan time. As of now tickets are not on sale yet, but do consider watching if you are able to to show your support.

If you are unable to watch the online concert but want to show your support, a short version of KAT-TUN's PV for their new single Roar was uploaded on J-Storm's Youtube last night. Please check it out and add some views to encourage Johnny's to keep doing this and strengthen their online presence. I've never seen Nakamaru wear earrings before! Also, check out some fanprojects you can join.





Now to the main topic. KAT-TUN's goods were trending yesterday because they released a wineglass which reminded people of Kame's drama, Kami no Shizuku. It's perfect for viewing parties and crying while watching the concert lol. Today they were trending because the penlight is!in!6!colors!!!!!! One hyphen interpreted the penlight here as: 
Top view: Triangle - represents the current three members
Side view: Rectangle - represents the hyphens
When lit up: Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Purple - represents the 6 member colors
I had to add it to my cart immediately when I saw it on Twitter even if I already finished buying my goods cause I wanted it to come in time for the concert, which means a separate shipping fee (Johnny's FAQ states that even if 2 orders were made on the same day, separate orders are separate shipping fees). It was worth it for the nostalgia, and it was half the price of Arafes's penlight (just saying). They also had masks which were subtle enough for everyday use and reminded me of Nakamaru's Tanoshii Jikan masks.

I know I keep saying Nakamaru is my new KAT-TUN ichiban, but I've been loving Kame's visuals recently. I haven't seen his drama yet but ever since that drama he's been looking extra good every time. Which is why I couldn't resist ordering his photoset. Every shot was extremely cute even if I never knew what to do with those things. I also got the uchiwas cause they were really really really cute! They were posing while signing 1 and 5 on their hands for their 15th anniversary, but fans on Twitter made me realize this also means 6 aka 6nin! Kame was wearing glasses and Nakamaru ended his streak of not changing poses for uchiwa shoots. I was debating whether to get the pamphlet or not, but got it anyway cause it's the 15th anniversary and figured there must be some gems there and maybe they could look back a little bit. Also because getting the Arafes pamphlet last minute was so worth it.

They also had group and individual posters, clearfiles and photosets, among other goods. Do check it out! In addition, someone found that the logo for the tour and all the goods also contains all the member colors as subtle lines between U & N. They are killing us with all the 6nin references! This makes me hope they make an appearance on the online concert or at least watch. But this is probably wishful thinking.
Many services will ship the goods to your home country if you do not have a Japanese address. They will also pack the goods together for cheaper international shipping upon request, if you've made separate orders.

In other news, the coupling songs for the Roar single were revealed. I want them to release all the songs they sang when they were juniors, but only 3 songs made it.

I haven't listened to Bay Storm in such a long time! Anyone know who the dude he was talking to today? I'm so glad he played Carry On and After the Rain. Also, does anyone know if Kame's radio show Hang Out is still there? And a random thought, I want Nakamaru and Tanaka Juri to perform One on One, his duet with Koki.
