Jin Akanishi (26) has written a comment on the official Johnny's mobile site, his first since the news of his expected removal from KAT-TUN. In his message, Akanishi formally announced that he is going solo.
Akanishi explained that he and KAT-TUN have different directions, but he also assured fans that he does not dislike the other members nor have personal problems with them. He apologized to the members of KAT-TUN for causing them trouble in both big and small matters, while also thanking them for his time with them.
Akanishi stated that he hopes to be active as a solo artist not just in America, but also in other parts of the world such as Asia and Europe. He also said that he naturally wants to be active in Japan as well.
AUTHOR 's OPINION : at first im thinking why must he leave KATTUN ? didnt he promise saying that he wont leave them but then suddenly there's a news saying he leave . im was soo sad , that im nearly cried . it's always be 6-members since they young and now its like 5 members . dont you feel its odd seeing KATTUN in 5member ? whenever , you searched for KATTUN at internet , you will always see jin's name there . didnt it hurt you knowing jin will not be there with KATTUN anymore ? why cant KATTUN stay as 1 group like NEWS or KANJANI8 . *sigh* i guess future is really unpredicted . *sigh again" but that doesnt mean i wont supported KTTUN anymore , i WILL forever support them . but for jin , i just not sure . i will supported him but not too much like 30% i think .
but still , in the end im just hope , he wont quit from KATTUN .
