<p><span class="strongInContent"> Many STARTO debutant groups place importance on their &#8220;anniversary,&#8221; and at each five-year milestone, they go on a large-scale tour, hold an event, or release a best-selling album.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In the case of KAT-TUN, their 20th anniversary will be celebrated next March, and fans have been anticipating that the group&#8217;s activities would be in full swing for the anniversary year.</span><span class="strongInContent"> Member Nakamaru was suspended indefinitely last August after some media reported his problems with women, but he announced his return on January 3 of this year. It was thought that the three of them would resume their work together.</span></p>
<h2> Company&#8217;s Decision</h2>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> However, on February 12, STARTO announced on its official website, &#8220;KAT-TUN signed a contract with our company in April 2024 and has continued its activities, but after about a year of discussions with the members, we have decided that for the second year of the contract starting April 1, 2025, the members will drop the KAT-TUN sign and choose their own path. The company decided that it would be better for the members to choose their own paths in the second year of their contract from April 1, 2025. Kamenashi will leave the office when his contract expires on March 31, while Ueda and Nakamaru will continue their contracts with the company on an individual basis.</p>
<p> In addition to the sudden announcement, fans are voicing their doubts about the sentence, &#8220;The company has decided that it is better for the members to choose their own paths in the future. Fans opposed to the dissolution of KATTUN posted their thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) with tags such as &#8220;#KATTUN withdraws from the group&#8221; and called for a withdrawal of the dissolution.</p>
<p> In March, however, the members of the fan club finally received an e-mail informing them of the closure of the fan club and the refund of their membership fee,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I don&#8217;t want a refund of my membership fee, please give me back KAT-TUN!</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I wanted to be notified about the live concert, not about the refund.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> We don&#8217;t want the KAT-TUN fan club membership fee, so please put it towards the concert!</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> KAT-TUN&#8217;s fan club sent me an e-mail about the refund, but they&#8217;re not going to do anything until the end of March, when KAT-TUN will break up?</span></p>
<p> The fans were not happy with the situation.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Why Fans&#39; Anxiety Is Growing"></div>
<h2>And before you all.&#8221;</h2>
<p> In making the aforementioned announcement, STARTO said, &#8220;We will be disbanding on March 31, but at the request of the members, we are currently making arrangements to create a place where we can meet with our fans in the near future. As soon as the details are finalized, we will inform our fans.</p>
<p> As of March 18, no details have been revealed, and fans are probably wondering if they will have a chance to meet the members before the end of March.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> However, Ueda said on the radio program &#8220;Tatsuya Ueda&#8217;s Pirates Radio&#8221; (bayfm) broadcast on March 1, &#8220;Until that day, March 31, we will discuss how we can deliver KAT-TUN to you all.</span><span class="strongInContent"> I would like to show my face in front of everyone. We will have a meeting about that, too, and make sure we get it right.</span><span class="strongInContent"> I think they intend to bring KAT-TUN to a close in some way.</span></p>
