[translation] Myojo Nov 2012: Data File KAT-TUN Part

[mixedstrategy]

*Note: No scans because I bought the magazine myself but I don't have a scanner. I doubt anyone wants to look at photos taken with my 5MP phone camera. And if anyone if interested in the measurements of other (non-KAT-TUN) Johnnys I can get them for you too! Feel free to ask. :)

*Disclaimer: My translations are not perfect (in fact they are pretty far from perfect), but please do credit if you repost/take bits of my translations for your own use. Translating is not easy (in fact if you follow me on twitter you can see me bitching every now and then about it) so I would appreciate it if you could respect me and my work. Thanks! ^___^
