KAT-TUN has released the music video for their new single, “Going,” which is “going” to be the theme song for Kazuya Kamenashi’s new sports job. Jin Akanishi is absent in this single due to the fact that he is in L.A. This song and music video are both more upbeat and dance oriented than their other songs which are more of a rock sound. I personally like KT-TUN better than KAT-TUN because Akanishi has just been super moody, and I think he is better suited solo anyway. He doesn’t really get along with the other members other than Yuichi Nakamaru anyways. Also, I like that now all the members are singing not just Kame and Akanishi. So check out the music video and tell me what you think!! More »

How I love cheezy micro-sized iPhone games. They make me so happy, because not only do they cost less then 2 dollars, but they bring me the joy of cute addictive flash gaming on the go. Even though I have Final Fantasy on my iPhone, I still can’t bring myself to boot it up if I only have 3 minutes before I need to do something. Though with games like “Ninjatown: Trees of Doom, “I can make my way up the Dark Forest a few times before my Dentist even makes his way to the waiting room. More »
