Rumors have been circling Johnny’s resident bad boy Jin Akanishi ever since he announced solo concerts in LA. These concerts were sold out in 3 hours even though there were only 2300 seats — although I’m not sure if that is totally true, because one of my friends bought tickets two days after the fact. Tokyo Sports has been reporting that one of the reasons for these concerts is so that he can break into Hollywood. Apparently, Jin has an audition for Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides to play the young Japanese pirate leader.

NOW, it is being said that he has passed the audition although now it looks like he won’t play the leader, as his part is currently undecided, BUT it will be an important role. It was leaked that Ken Watanabe might possibly be in the movie also.

The rumors continue as it is said that Jin will supposedly leave KAT-TUN in December. KAT-TUN’s contract with their cellphone company runs out in December so that’s when Jin will be released and his departure announced. Really? When the cellphone contract runs out? As we all know, KAT-TUN has hated each other for a while, well at least Kamenashi and Jin. Fangirls are PISSED.

By the way, I have no idea where this picture is from, I Googled it.
