KAT-TUN III: Queen of Pirates
At last, KAT-TUN III - Queen of Pirates has leaked! Many thanks to
maishampoo and
kattunlove.
Concerning the "stunning jacket artwork", the boys were turned into figurines again! Is this some kind of game? Yeah, the jacket artwork really stunned me. I was staring at their hair for some minutes! They look so boyish! (Is it the first time you realize this, Marilena?) And their clothes are so cute! I want my copy soon, YesAsia!!! (And Greek Post.)
[edit: holy shit they used special plastic wigs and acrylic resin make-up!]
Ok, the serious stuff.
The album is as good as Best of. Cartoon KAT-TUN II You was an album that raises your spirit and makes you want to dance, but here… From the epic introduction, to the fast rock songs [actually most of the album rocks] and the sweet RnB (yes, I LOVE both Taboo and Affection! KT are training me into RnB - or get me in through the back door - whatever! Of course Taboo is not entirely RnB, I think it has some latin element as well), everything sounds really great. 12 o’clock and Six Senses are good songs to dance to, by the way. Uhmm… I just want to point out here - I am really - really sorry Maru - that the beatboxing in the beginning of 12 o’clock sounded like farting! But the rest of the song is very groovy. And it has the most electronic elements of KT songs as far as I can remember. What’s more, Shot is the first jazz-swing song that I like. It sounds so… mature? And Mother / Father is like a Tatsuya - Jin duet! <33 And Tatsuya - Yuichi as well! I only didn’t like Nannen Tattemo very much… But I guess it’s ok. I like the electonic/disco element and the drums and guitar of Our Story and un- is interesting as a song as well.
I am so looking forward to see the live performances!
