After “TRAGEDY” single released on February 10, KAT-TUN will be releasing their 26th single “UNLOCK”. The single will be released on March 2. “UNLOCK” is the theme song for NTV’s Kaito Yamaneko drama starring member Kamenashi Kazuya. It’s a KAT-TUN style rock number, starting with a memorable guitar riff and running through to a powerful hook. Also included is “GREATEST JOURNEY,” the opening song for TBS variety show KAT-TUN no Sekaiichi Tame ni Naru Tabi!
The group has also announced activities for their 10th year anniversary “KAT-TUN 10th Anniversary ‘10Ks!’”, which includes Dome concerts and a best of album release. ’10Ks!’, besides from referring to their anniversary, is also a coined word which means “Thanks”, to express the group’s gratitude for the continued support of their fans. Taguchi Junnosuke will be leaving the group and company at the end of March. There are no events involving 4 members planned so far. Their last 4-member release will be KAT-TUN’s “UNLOCK” single. KAT-TUN with 3 members will be holding their first “3 Dome Tour”. For the best of album, fans can vote for 15 songs from 134 songs (original tracks) to be included.
