He is also the lead vocalist of LANDS, a temporary band assembled to promote his film, Bandage. The band's single, BANDAGE, and subsequent album, OLYMPOS, both reached number 1 on the Oricon charts.
Akanishi moved to Tokyo, Japan in the first grade. His interest was piqued in the entertainment industry and his parents sent his application to Johnny & Associates on his behalf in 1998. Though he technically failed his audition, he was told to stay by Johnny Kitagawa himself when he tried to return his number plate. Before being part of KAT-TUN, he was in a number of ジャニーズJr. groups like M.A.D., J2000 and B.A.D..
Besides his work in music, Akanishi is also a budding actor with roles in the second season of popular NTV school drama, Gokusen, Anego and Yukan Club, for which he was voted Best Actor in the 11th Nikkan Sports Grand Prix. He made his silver screen debut in 2010 in the award-winning film "Bandage", directed by Mr.Children producer, Takeshi Kobayashi. He was also a co-host of KAT-TUN's own variety show, Cartoon KAT-TUN until it ended in February 2010, and used to host a radio program called "KAT-TUN Style" with bandmate 田口淳之介 (Junnosuke Taguchi) from October 2007 to March 2008.
Akanishi went on a sabbatical from KAT-TUN from October 2006 to April 2007 to study English in Los Angeles. He has since used his increasing fluency in the language to pen many all English tracks, "Lovejuice" and "Wonder" being two of them and the latter being a duet with Crystal Kay. He has also collaborated with her on another track entitled "Helpless Night". He also collaborated with fellow JE artist and best friend, 山下智久 (Tomohisa Yamashita), on a song called "Eternal" which was composed entirely by him for a mutual friend's wedding. The song was first performed at Yamashita's concert at Yokohama Arena on November 23, 2009.
Akanishi embarked on a month-long solo series of concerts in Tokyo entitled You & Jin in February 2010. This solo tour was later expanded to include three shows in Los Angeles in June 2010. The opportunity to perform overseas came at a cost - he could not join KAT-TUN on their national arena tour and subsequent Asia tour, due to a clash of schedules. In July 2010, he announced on his blog that he would be leaving KAT-TUN to pursue a solo career.
His other known solo songs are "Care", "Aisareru Yori Aishitai", "Girisha", "ha-ha", "Kimi wo Omou Toki", "Murasaki", "Ooki na Furudokei", "Pinky" and "Zutto Dakishimetai".
Baby
赤西仁 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Yesterday どうでもいいことで不安になって
そんな風に明日も (I don't know what I do)
きっと一人でキミを思ってる
わかってる
泣いてるの 見えないように baby (you ain't about it baby)
「大丈夫」と抱きしめてよ baby (I hope you get it baby)
わからなくなる
ねぇそれでも会いたくて
近くにいてよ胸が
ウソみたいに苦しいよ please don't walk away (please don't walk away)
私はここにいるから
いつでもそばにいるから
だからもっとちゃんと愛してよ baby (baby)
I don't think I can do it (do it, do it)
I don't think I can do it (do it)
二人で歩幅を決めて歩いても
揃えていくことだけ夢中になって
何度も出したサイン (I don't know what I do)
気がついてないふりしてるのもわかってる
傷つくの慣れているから baby (you ain't about it baby)
キライに もしなれるのなら baby (I hope you get it baby)
ねぇ今大人にはなれないかも baby (you ain't here baby)
わからなくなる
ねぇそれでも会いたくて
一人じゃもうココロが
ウソみたいに寂しいよ please don't walk away (please don't walk away)
私はここにいるから
いつでもそばにいるから
だからもっとちゃんと愛してよ baby (baby)
I don't think I can do it (do it, do it)
I don't think I can do it (do it)
サヨナラを想うたびに
キミで胸が溢れて
ウソみたいに苦しいよ please don't walk away (please don't walk away)
いきなり抱きしめて
いきなり離さないで love
ねぇもっとちゃんと愛してよ baby (baby)
ねぇそれでも会いたくて
近くにいてよ胸が
ウソみたいに苦しいよ please don't walk away (please don't walk away)
私はここにいるから
いつでもそばにいるから
だからもっとちゃんと愛してよ baby (baby)
I don't think I can do it (do it, do it)
I don't think I can do it (do it, do it)
I don't think I can do it
The lyrics to 赤西仁's song "Baby" express a sense of longing and vulnerability in a relationship. The song explores the complexities of love and the fear of being alone. The first verse talks about laughing together over insignificant things but also feeling anxious about unimportant matters. It expresses the singer's confusion about their own actions and acknowledges that they often think about the other person even when they are alone. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for reassurance and comfort, expressing their fear of crying and wanting to be held tightly. It also reflects their uncertainty about growing up and their struggle to understand their emotions.
The second verse highlights the couple's synchronization and obsession with making decisions together. However, it also acknowledges that sometimes one of them pretends not to notice certain signs, implying a lack of open communication. The bridge reveals that the singer is accustomed to getting hurt but is willing to become indifferent if that's what it takes to be with their partner. The repeated plea for the partner to not walk away emphasizes their fear of being alone and their willingness to stay by their side no matter what. The final chorus reiterates the desire for genuine love, and despite the doubts expressed throughout the song, the singer admits their willingness to continue trying.
Overall, "Baby" portrays a relationship filled with uncertainties, vulnerabilities, and the longing for a deeper connection.
