I had the opportunity of hanging out
with Jin Akanishi yesterday for his tour rehearsals.
The Japanese pop star, undoubtedly,
has some incredible moves & his music
definitely caught my ear. We watched on while
he worked with his choreographer
as they brushed up on routines for tour.
He's already collabed with Jason Derulo
for their hit dance single "Test Drive" and his latest single
"Sun Burns Down" has also gained major popularity.
Jin is no stranger to popularity and boasts a huge fanbase,
many of them who gave me an incredible response on Twitter yesterday.
Some Japanese fans tweeted me saying,
"The U.S. needs to know about him!" And know about him,
we will - as he heads out on his U.S. tour starting March 9
where he will hit five cities from L.A. to New York.
The singer, who started performing at age 14,
looked to American singers as his inspirations
even though English is actually his second language.
He says he is a big fan of artists like Eminem and Lil Wayne.
Interestingly enough, Jin also writes his music in English.
He doesn't write in Japanese and then translate
saying English metaphors can be meaningless in Japanese and visa versa.
He says, "The grass is always greener" is absolutely
meaningless when translated into Japanese.
He's also dabbled in acting with dozens of television credits,
and will be starring alongside Keanu Reeves in 47 Ronin (November 2012).
You can look out for Jin on tour and I suggest
picking up his album Japonicana on March 6.
Our video with him for Fanlala will post soon! Stay tuned!

仁到美國之後,
除了參加節目之外,
也接受了許多美國那邊的訪談啊!
不過從照片中也看出,
仁似乎很疲倦呢~
