<h2> Tatsuya Ueda said, &#8220;I wonder if I&#8217;m drinking sake.</h2>
 Tatsuya Ueda ( 41 ), a former member of KAT-TUN, appeared on the June 13 episode of &#8220;Sake no Tsumami ni naru Hanashi&#8221; (Fuji Television Network) and said to Daigo ( 45 ) of the comedy duo Chidori, the MC and a close friend of his,&#8220;I have something really important to say. &#8230;&#8230;
 Ueda said that he had invited Daigo to a number of &#8221; KAT-TUN &#8221; concerts, but Daigo refused, saying that it would be a bad influence on his children, and instead asked him to get tickets to &#8221; King &amp; Prince.

 Ueda got a good laugh, saying , &#8220;My pride was hurt to pieces,&#8221; &#8220;(In the meantime) they broke up,&#8221; and &#8220;(Today&#8217;s drink) is probably yake-shu,&#8221; but then word came that &#8221; KAT-TUN &#8221; had decided to hold a breakup live concert.
 It looks like it will be held within the year. When &#8216;Arashi&#8217; announced that they would end their activities on May 31 next year and go on a live tour, the office was flooded with complaints asking why &#8216; KAT-TUN&#8217; would not hold a live concert while &#8216;Arashi&#8217; would hold a retirement live concert.

 (Women&#8217;s magazine desk) As for &#8221; KAT-TUN,&#8221; when STARTO ENTERTAINMENT ( STARTO ), to which the group belongs, reported the breakup on its website on February 12, it issued the following message.
 《At the request of the members, we are currently making arrangements to create a place where they can meet with their fans in the near future. As soon as the details are finalized, we will inform our fans.
 Many of the &#8220;KAT-TUN&#8221; fans, known as &#8221; hyphens, &#8220; were frustrated by the lack of any announcement after that. Even before that, fans were not convinced of the breakup in the first place, and when the resignation of STARTO president Jun Fukuda ( 59) was reported on June 13, X was flooded with posts asking for the &#8221; return of KAT-TUN.
 On the day after the announcement of the breakup, Ueda expressed his complicated feelings on his personal website&#8217;s blog for paying members, saying, &#8220;A sudden development,&#8221; &#8220;I have not been able to sort out my mind at all,&#8221; and &#8220;There are many thoughts that I cannot convey here.
 He seemed to have doubts about the fact that STARTO&#8217; s comment included the sentence, &#8220;The company has decided that it would be better for the members to choose their own paths in the future. Even now, they are not satisfied with the dissolution of the group,&#8221; said an editor of an idol magazine.

<h2>Yuichi Nakamaru&#8217;s &#8220;Purification for Fans</h2>
 Nevertheless, Ueda frequently appeared in one-off variety shows, including the aforementioned &#8220;Tsumami for Sake. His activities as a pin-up artist have become a part of his life.
 Kazuya Kamenashi ( 39 ) held a pop-up store for the jewelry he produces, and he also appeared in the April start of his crown program, &#8220;Save the World!　One Nyahuru Monogatari Shiba to Sanke to Kamenashi-kun&#8221; (TV Tokyo), and his new activities are going well. However, Yuichi Nakamaru ( 41), who returned to the group before the breakup announcement, is not doing so well.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 His return to &#8220;Shuichi&#8221; (NTV) and &#8220;Kaji-Yaro ! (TV Asahi), which he used to be a regular on, and he only served as MC for &#8220;Osaka Comic Con 2025 &#8221; held at Intex Osaka in May with IMALU ( 35 )!　( TOKYO MX) &#8221; on June 29, but it is far from a full-fledged return to terrestrial broadcasting.
 He has not returned to his YouTube channel &#8220;Yonino-channer&#8221; with Kazuya Ninomiya ( 42 ), Ryosuke Yamada ( 32 ) of &#8221; Hey! Say! JUMP,&#8221; and Fuma Kikuchi ( 30 ) of &#8221; timelesz,&#8221; which has made his fans nervous.

 The YouTube videos that the four of them filmed together have been put into &#8220;storage&#8221; after Nakamaru&#8217;s suspension from performing. The three of them seem to have a lot on their minds. They have often talked about Nakamaru&#8217;s return, but Ninomiya, the leader of the group, says he thinks that the group&#8217;s activities should be prioritized first.
 Then came the news that &#8220;KAT-TUN&#8221; had decided to hold a retirement live concert before the end of the year. The members have been searching for a way to meet their fans in person, and it seems that they think that the purification process will be completed when Nakamaru apologizes to his fans at the live concert.
 We asked STARTO when and on what scale the breakup live concert would be held, but received no response by the deadline.
 In any case, it seems certain that &#8221; KAT-TUN &#8221; will be seen for the last time within this year. We look forward to the day when we will be able to see them for the last time.
