So what does the above AIM conversation tell Beth and I?
It says it is time for the
Akanishi Jin Pimp Post
Who exactly is this Akanishi Jin?
Quite simply, he is the A in very popular Johnny's Entertainment group called KAT-TUN. KAT-TUN was first put together as a group by Domoto Koichi of KinKi Kids and consists of Kamenashi Kazuya, Akinishi Jin, Taguchi Junnosuke, Tanaka Koki, Ueda Tatsuya, and Nakamaru Yuuichi.
We could just give you the basics. We could just give you the vital stats: born July 4th, 1984; joined Johnny's on November 8th, 1998. 5'7", greatest hair ever... yeah, whatever.
But the stories are what makes Jin fun. Like how Jin almost didn't make it into JE -- he failed the audition, but because he accidentally returned his nameplate to Johnny, Johnny asked him to stay for the rest of the audition, and to join the Jimusho. Or how he was so eager to please, and eager to be pleased as a junior -- whether it's pouring his heart and soul into performances, or acting like a goof with his best friends. Or how he considers his best friends (Yamashita Tomohisa aka Yamapi and Shirota Yuu) to be his life's treasure. Or how much he loves kids, little girls especially, since they gravitate towards him and he is the first to give them attention. Or how fun phrases like "car shrimp" and "we all go to helicopter sky" turned into six months in L.A., and a honestly pretty astonishing grasp of the English language. Or how his best friends all call him "Bakanishi" since he's more childishly self-centered but everyone loves him regardless. Or how he has the rumor of being... well, let's say easy... but he was so upset with the image that he went so far as to refute it during a concert MC. He's a bit of an anomaly in the entertainment world -- he sees through the facade of the entertainment industry, and assumes a face of apathy, but he puts up with it because you can really tell he enjoys the music. Because... we're here for the music, right?
Enough about him, jemz & Beth! Gimme the pictures!!!
Pictures, you say? We have plenty. All in thumbnails because we love you like that. And I don't kill my layout.
Well, we have a LOT more pictures but we'll consider this a fair sampling of just how photogenic Jin is. Personally, we love how Jin is so comfortable in his own skin and how it shows through in the pictures. He doesn't care if he looks stupid or dumb or hot and sexy because he cares about being true to himself. And that in itself, is a sexy, sexy quality that we cherish about Jin. He shows a lot of confidence but he's very transparent and tries to hide when he's bored or hurt with minimal success. But, at the same token, when he's happy, you know he is.
Wow, jemz & Beth! I'm totally sold on his pretty looks. But you say he can sing and dance. Show me the HIPS!
Okay, okay. Who are we to deny the power of Jin's hips?
The following is broken up into self-explanatory parts. And I'm out of witty things to say since Beth and I are too busy re-watching Jin's hips work their magic.
Part 1: Solo Performances
Hesitate, from 2003.11.02 Shokura. Ignore the unfortunate hair color -- Jin's passion in this song is beautiful.
Murasaki, from Kaizokuban Con. Hello, sexy silhouette Jin.
Care, from Looking Con 2005 (The three minutes of sexy dancing beforehand is just a bonus.)
Ha-ha, from Looking Con '05.
Ha-ha, Utawara performance (CAN YOU SPOT THE DIFFERENCES IN THESE LYRICS? XD)
Ha-ha, from Dream Boys 2006
And now, stick them all together!
Pinky, from Real Face Con. SUP THERE, KOKI.
Pinky, from 2007.09.02 Shokura
It can't be, from a 2004 Shounen Club episode. This is so awesome and all sung in English. :D
Part 2: Duet and Group Performances
Bonnie Butterfly (Jin and Kame) from 2004(?) Shokura
Ai no Katamari (Jin and Ryo) from 2005.06.19 Shokura One of my personal favorites.
BUTTERFLY (Jin and Ueda), from 2006.04.16 Shokura
Andalusia ni akogarete, from 2004(?) Shokura
GOLD, from 2005(?) Shokura Jin hits this gorgeous high note that iverin doesn't believe is really him. But it is and Jin singing well always turns me into goo.
Real Face, from 2006.09.17 Utawara
YOU, from cartoon KAT-TUN II You con One of my absolute favorite performances in their most recent concert.
Will Be All Right, from cartoon KAT-TUN II You con Yessss. Jiiiiiiiin!
Real Face PV ~ Jin Version. *____________*
Part 3: Jin being.... Jin
Car shrimp!
Screaming like a girl!
As a lepoard!
The large amounts of sexual tension deep hatred between Jin and MatsuJun.
Why Jennifer!?!?!
Jin and Nakamaru being totally sketch on the streets asking for money.
Part 4: Extras XD
Fanvids devoted to Jin's eccentric mix of stupid and sexy... and a few to his hips. Because they don't lie, yo. Or you can see how he shakes it alongside his best friend Yamapi and his bandmate Koki.
Jin and Nakamaru dancing with Love Junx for 2006's 24 Hr TV, a marathon that helps raise money and awareness for the disabled. I love what Jin says to the head dancer since it's so telling of who he is as a person.
Uremeshiya, where Jin is a ghost. Subbed by Nya! *_____*

Part 5: Where to find more subbed Videos
We recommend checking out the following places for subbed KAT-TUN videos. Because where you find Jin, you will also see the rest of KAT-TUN. Not that they aren't as interesting as Jin but we just happen to love Jin a lot. Plus, this is a pimp post about JIN. Durr. :D
