Akanishi to perform in Los Angeles, rest of KAT-TUN to tour Asia
Johnny's Jimusho made two announcements on Wednesday regarding popular boy band KAT-TUN. First, the group will be doing an Asia tour this year. Second, member Jin Akanishi (25) will not be participating in the tour, and will instead be preparing for a set of solo concerts in Los Angeles.
KAT-TUN's tour is scheduled to run from May to August. Most of the concerts will be in Japan, but a few of them will be held overseas. They will perform in Bangkok on July 31, in Seoul on August 6-7, and in Taipei on August 27-28. Other sources say that a Hawaii concert is also being considered.
However, Akanishi is expected to leave for Los Angeles in May to prepare for three concerts on June 19-20. These will be the first solo performances in the U.S. by a Johnny's artist.
This is not the first time that Akanishi has been to Los Angeles. From 2006 to 2007, he took a break from show business and spent half a year there to study English.
After a solo performance in February, Akanishi received an offer from American cable channel UTB, which focuses on Japanese programs. At the time, KAT-TUN's Asia tour had already been finalized, but after discussions with the other members and agency president Johnny Kitagawa, it was decided that the tour would go on without Akanishi. He agreed to three concerts on June 19-20 at the Club Nokia venue at the L.A. Live complex. It is said that he will perform the shows entirely in English.
Akanishi is expected to remain in Los Angeles until October. He will be involved in promotional activities and is considering additional U.S. concerts

In explaining why they chose to have Akanishi perform in the U.S. during KAT-TUN's tour, the Johnny's rep said that UTB strongly recommended it to them, because starting in June, there are many events such as anime conventions going on, making it the best time to reach out to and work with promoters in the U.S.

อืม. ... รุ่นพี่อย่าง SMAP ก็ร่วมงานกับศิลปินดัง ๆ ฝั่งโน้นบ้างอยู่แล้ว เผื่อเป็นโอกาสในการตีตลาดของ JE กับเมกา กัมบัตเต้นะอาคานิชิซามะ (อยากได้ยินซาวน์ใหม่ ๆ เหมือนกันนะเนี่ย)
