It has become quite a challenge to catch up with Kato Seishiro during the last two months, because he was here, he was there, he was almost everywhere !
To be more precise:
Utaban ! Music Japan ! Tetsuko noheya ! YYJumping ! Kouhaku ! ACC Commercial Festival ! ....+ presentations of a new commercial for Cleverlin, another award-show and the release of his first idol-photo-book!!
It seems Japan really adores that kid. And so do I, and that´s because not only much of that appearances mentioned above are here but also the whole "Kakashi" -movie is ....
MUSIC JAPAN - Talk
Seishiro presenting his single "Katsuobushi dayo jinsei wa" (and his new gap) on Music Japan. This also features co-hosts Perfume. And Seishiro had to do his punch-line from Tenchijin again...for the 104th time.

Katsuobushi dayo jinsei wa
Music Japan - Performance of "Katsuobushi dayojinsei wa". What I really like about this song is it´s very traditional sound. It may even be a traditional Japanese piece of child-music. I don´t know for sure, because I´m not familiar at all with Japanese child-folk-songs. But I know that I like this one.

Book-presentation
As I wrote above, it is quite a challenge to catch up with Seishiro, because he is on the Japanese entertainment-news almost every day (and it´s even more challenging when you can´t read kanji..wich I can´t!). Most of these news have the term "the youngest ever" somewhere in it. This applied also to the news about Kato Seishiro releasing his first "Idol-book", wich is kind of a photoalbum but with some more editorial content..if I got that right...anyway, I will find out soon, because I ordered my copy just a few days ago...
This video is from the book-presentation (Credits for the streaming vid.: JiJiPana)

Awards
Videos of two recent award shows. Seishiro got awarded at the 49th ACC Commercial Festival for his appearance as the "Kodomo Tencho" for Toyota. I failed to find out about the other award, so if someone can enlighten me, please do so. You-Tube-Rips, so don´t expect great quality (but it´s quite good).

Kouhaku
A VERY nice clip of Seishiro promoting the 60th Kouhaku for NHK. And a proof that he has a really beautiful singing voice. How about a performance with Snow Prince Gasshoudan ? ^^

Kakashi
And now for something completely diffrent...
This is the full short movie "Kakashi" starring Kato Seishiro in the lead. It was part of the 10th anniversary special of the series "Hontoni atta kowai hanashi" (Dreadful true stories), a horror/mystery programm on Japanese television. The special contained of five short movies and aired in the end of August this year. Since there is no sign at all that this is intended to be released on DVD, I think I can share it here. Lead actors of the other shorts included Shida Mirai (Seigi no Mikata) , Sato Takeru and Kamiji Yusuke (Scrap Teacher). But this one is the Kato Seishiro "Solo"^^

Note: This works best with VLC-player, some older versions of WMP have problems with the ratio for whatever reasons.
Kato Seishiro also appeared this month on one of Japans longest running talkshows (Tetsuko noheya, hostet by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi since 1976). I didn´t cuts of that because I haven´t found a video of decent quality. But it was a very enjoyable show (Even poor Seishiro had to do his punch-line rom Tenchijin for the 105th time...). He was also on the recent YYJumping with Yabu Kota and Yaotome Hikaru. It wouldn´t had made any sense to cut something from this, because the whole episode was very nice to watch. Íf you want to watch that you wouldn´t have any problems to locate it on LJ, because it has been uploaded already more than once...
