Tokyo, Japan (2001 – present)

Jin Akanishi (赤西仁) (b. July 4, 1984 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese singer-songwriter, actor, seiyū, television personality and former radio host. Akanishi became a member of the popular J-pop group, KAT-TUN, in 2001 and shared lead vocal duty with 亀梨和也 before he left the group in 2010. Since the group’s debut in 2006, it has achieved 18 consecutive number ones (including studio albums) on the Oricon charts.

He is also the lead vocalist of LANDS, a temporary band assembled to promote his film, Bandage. The band’s single, BANDAGE, and subsequent album, OLYMPOS, both reached number 1 on the Oricon charts.

Akanishi moved to Tokyo, Japan in the first grade. His interest was piqued in the entertainment industry and his parents sent his application to Johnny & Associates on his behalf in 1998. Though he technically failed his audition, he was told to stay by Johnny Kitagawa himself when he tried to return his number plate. Before being part of KAT-TUN, he was in a number of ジャニーズJr. groups like M.A.D., J2000 and B.A.D…

Besides his work in music, Akanishi is also a budding actor with roles in the second season of popular NTV school drama, Gokusen, Anego and Yukan Club, for which he was voted Best Actor in the 11th Nikkan Sports Grand Prix. He made his silver screen debut in 2010 in the award-winning film “Bandage”, directed by Mr.Children producer, Takeshi Kobayashi. He was also a co-host of KAT-TUN’s own variety show, Cartoon KAT-TUN until it ended in February 2010, and used to host a radio program called “KAT-TUN Style” with bandmate 田口淳之介 (Junnosuke Taguchi) from October 2007 to March 2008.

I'm so frustrated at the moment. I thought Jin's fans were openminded and actually wanted him to be happy. Until this marriage I really did. Some of the fans act like Jin's marriage is going to fuck their mom in the ass and dad in the mouth. My faith in humanity goes down each time I read comments of recent news about Jin. Sorry to tell you this but I'm sure Jin doesn't give a flying fuck if you're against his marriage or his girl (no offense Akame fans but... PLEASE). Why? Because it's HIS life where YOU do not have even an atomic sized piece or place in. Move on. </rant>

aww don't be mean, let the fangirls mourn for a while, later on everyone will accept the fact and everything will be okay and they'll live happily ever after. This is all too LOL-worthy anyway. (I mean the rush and the press and the agencies and the fuss and the reactions, not the marriage and pregnancy themselve. IF it's true (most real by the second anyway) I wish happiness and bliss to the man and the girl. :) /two cents

i agree with touchtherain.Jin didn't make a promise to be ours (fan's) for all his life and live like a monk without family and any relationships.don't be selfish,people.He has the same rights and wishes as all we have.God bless Jin and Meisa's marriage and praise them with all the happiness. ♥[1]
