The singer, Katou Kazuki, who has also had some activities as an actor, acting the role of Atobe Keigo in the popular musical, "Tenis no Oujisama", et al, has released his 5th single, "Venom". Along with the title, meaning "poison", it's become a number overflowing with sexy appeal.
"It's love, but it's not. It paints a relationship that divides the two. You'll come to feel the sexiness of animal instinct with the singing and the PV (promotional video)."
"Without regard for love", "you can probably feel that the words are all lies". This is sung at the top of his voice, loading on the lyrics that portray an image of a dangerous man on an uptempo piece.
"I think that eroticism and a voluptuous atmosphere are one's own weapons. But it's not just the coolness that I would like to convey with my own voice, it's also the feelings with regards to the times and what I've felt as I listened to everyone's voices."
It hass been at least 1 year since the last single release. Last year, he put his energy into his acting. The movie, "Koikyokusei", in which he starred with Toda Erika, will be showing since the 14th.
On the other hand, declaring that, "At the root of it, I'm an artist. I have never swapped to just acting", he went on to perform 23 public performance Lives last year. With a positive front, he also noted, "I've put in the roles I've played as well as the feelings I had as such into the lyrics. As a presentor, I have also widened my horizons and this, too, becomes a plus in writing music."
Since last year, he has also engaged himself in the "Eco-cap movement", which recycles PET bottle caps and delivers vaccines to children in developing countries. He has made an appeal in his blog and in the Lives, and has collected about 26,000 of them now.
"I'm only creating a chance; that's enough for me. If, by singing, I can provide a chance to change a life, then I think there is a meaning to my life." (Tanabe Hiroaki)
