KAT-TUN boy band member Jin Akanishi has added
at least seven cities to his solo American tour
after the success of his Saturday engagement
at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, which attracted approximately 2,000 fans
(of which his promoters say 80% were non-Japanese).
Akanishi's September-October tour stops now
include Los Angeles (where he has already performed three concerts),
New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Anaheim, and Houston.
Akanishi starred in the live-action drama
adaptation of Yukari Ichijo's manga Yukan Club,
which featured KAT-TUN single "Keep the Faith" as its theme song.
Akanishi also starred in the second season of
the live-action adaptation of Kozueko Morimoto's manga Gokusen.
His voice acting debut was as the title role in the
Japanese-language dub of the 2008 Warner Brothers film Speed Racer.
