Announcement form JE regarding Jin's Hiatus: 13 October 2006 (FRIDAY!!)

Kamenashi Kazuya
I have to appologise to make you worry about this matter this time.
What I wanted to talk with Akanishi on the phone was about his strengh in what he wants to do and my feeling I'm having about my work.
Because he's a member of KAT-TUN, I understand his decision but it's also a painful one.  I have said what I wanted to.
While Akanishi is learning many things out there, we will learn in our world as well.
We will grow up together.
No matter how it turns, KAT-TUN will never change.
Your support is necessary to us.  From now on, please keep watching over us with warm affection.

Akanishi Jin
I'm sorry to cause you worries
I'm going to see and learn things that I never know of
Please keep supporting the 5 other members as you've always been.

Taguchi Junnosuke
When I heard this from Akanishi, I thought it was a joke, and I was surprised to find that it's true.
But this is what he himself wants to do, it's the thing he can do only at this certain moment, and I could feel the power in his determination.
As to me, I will work with the same power that Akanishi has.  By the time he comes back, I'll be grown up too!  I want to tell him to work hard, from his heart.
Fans may feel lonely, but while Akanishi is away, we'll be doing our best too.  Please wait for his return.

Tanaka Koki
This is a sudden and unexpected matter, but Akanishi decided it himself.  Please keep watching until Akanishi came back from his study.
Meanwhile, there'll be 5 of us performing.  Please keep supporting us as usual.

Ueda Tatsuya
Everyone, I honestly appologise to make you worry
I think many of you are shocked with this news, and some of you are mad too.
Anyhow, it is what Akanishi decided for his own future with great determination.
If fans understand about this fact, I think Akanishi will be happy too.
Although it is sad, please wait until Akanishi comes back with a better look
I am really sorry
P.S. I'm lonely too~

Nakamaru Yuichi
Talking about studying abroad, it seems impossible.  But Akanishi has already made his mind.  I'd like him to bring back to KAT-TUN something that we don't have in Japan.
What shocked me most was about the fans, like they're going to give up on us.  The disband is never going to happen.  So please wait for Akanishi, who's trying from the bottom of his heart.

*******************************************

-- COMMENT --

Until now, there's no confirmation on where or when Akanishi is going, and I don't think JE will announce this to public.  (but I'm pretty sure that there'll be lots more rumors to come.  keep yourself update!!)

As Yuichi said that they won't disband, I'll believe in KAT-TUN, and please, so will you.

But for me, for now, I'm already nervous break down -___-'' already took lots of painkillers today.
