Ha, I never thought I would say that but I actually like the new single 喜びの歌  of Kat-Tun. The first song was in a PV and I thought Jin looked totally together and has potential to be sexy not that I care, but he has more aura than any of the other boys.  But the second song Your Side, when Koki is not rapping, is actually very listenable. It reminds me of some songs in the 90's. I like the chorus Aishiteru! Aishiteru!  at least up to the first 49 seconds.   And then from 1.12 to 1.36, it almost sounds like a Chinese song. You could listen to it here.

Actually, there is one more song I like of this group.  The Oda Kazumasa composition 僕らの街で for Kame's last drama. Now that's a good Oda song with young voices. I am a fan of Oda but his songs no matter sung by who are always good. And thank goodness there is no rapping for the forever irritating Koki. You could listen to it here, track 1.

As for Kat-Tun the group, I don't usually do their news. Jin left for half a year and came back. While he was gone, I think a lot of fans sort of became listless. Kat-Tun is more together with 6 persons. In a group, having 2 leaders is better than one. It's like SMAP having Kimura and Nakai, V6 having Sakamoto and Inohara. My daughter loves Kame but I think she is beginning to love Jin even more.
