July 4, 1984 in Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese singer-songwriter, actor, seiyū, television personality and former radio host. Akanishi became a member of the popular J-pop group, KAT-TUN, in 2001 and shared lead vocal duty with 亀梨和也 before he left the group in 2010. Since the group's debut in 2006, it has achieved 18 consecutive number ones (including studio albums) on the Oricon charts.

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".

Christmas Morning
赤西仁 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snow's blowing on a cold winter morning
Look from you, I feel my heart beating
Never thought I couldn't get to know you
Never thought I would be with you
Now I wonder how we ever could have got here
Without your love in my life, my one fear
Waking up without you

We are changing and I know that you don't need
Everything we had was all we could be
Couldn't hear the words you told me (told me) baby

I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving
I'm giving up on you
Oh, I've been holding back this feeling for too long and
I'm about to fall on you
I gave you, I gave you all of me, all of me

First time I saw your face
The storms came
The winds changed
You fogged my mind with snow I'm blind now
Oh you opened up the gates when you came, amazed me
And now I'm drowning down down down down down

We running to this beat on Christmas morning
Everything that I've done, I've done it for you for you (for you, for you)
We running to this beat on Christmas morning
Everything that I've done, I've done it for you for you (for you, for you)

Snow's blowing on a cold winter morning
Look from you, I feel my heart beating
Never thought I couldn't get to know you
Never thought I would be with you
Now I wonder how we ever could have got here
Without your love in my life, my one fear

Waking up without you

We are changing and I know that you don't need
Everything we had was all we could be
Couldn't hear the words you told me

I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving
I'm giving up on you

You don't know how much I sang this song
You don't know how long I left it on
Don't know how much I sang this song
Didn't know how long I left it on

You don't know how much I sang this song
Didn't know how long I left it on
Didn't know how much I love you

First time I saw your face
The storms came
The winds changed
You fogged my mind with snow, I'm blind now
Oh, you opened up the gates when you came amazed me
And now I'm drowning down down down down down

We running to this beat on Christmas morning
Everything that I've done
I've done it for you, for you (for you)
We running to this beat on Christmas morning
Everything that I've done
I've done it for you, for you (for you)

Now I fall, now you fall
Now we fall together
Now I fall, now you fall
Now we fall together
Now I fall, now you fall

Now we fall together
Now I fall, now you fall, oh

Line by Line Meaning

Snow's blowing on a cold winter morning
On a chilly winter morning, the snow is being gently carried through the air

Look from you, I feel my heart beating
When I see you, I feel my heart thumping in my chest

Never thought I couldn't get to know you
I never anticipated that I would not be able to get to know you

Never thought I would be with you
I never expected that I would be in a relationship with you

Now I wonder how we ever could have got here
I now question how we managed to arrive at this point in our relationship

Without your love in my life, my one fear
The absence of your love in my life is my greatest fear

Waking up without you
Starting my day without you by my side

We are changing and I know that you don't need
We are evolving as individuals, and I understand that you no longer require

Everything we had was all we could be
The full extent of what we shared was the best we could achieve

Couldn't hear the words you told me (told me) baby
I failed to comprehend the words you expressed to me, my dear

I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving, I'm giving
I am dedicating myself, repeatedly and determinedly, to this relationship

I'm giving up on you
I am surrendering my efforts to maintain this connection with you

Oh, I've been holding back this feeling for too long and
I have been suppressing this emotion for an extended period of time

I'm about to fall on you
I am on the verge of succumbing to my emotions and confessing my feelings to you

I gave you, I gave you all of me, all of me
I bestowed upon you, with utmost sincerity, my entire self, my entire being

First time I saw your face
The initial instance when I laid my eyes upon your countenance

The storms came
Difficulties and challenges arose

The winds changed
Circumstances and situations shifted

You fogged my mind with snow, I'm blind now
Your presence overwhelmed my thoughts, causing confusion and making it difficult to see clearly

Oh, you opened up the gates when you came amazed me
You completely captivated me by entering my life, and I was speechless with astonishment

And now I'm drowning down down down down down
At present, I feel as if I am sinking deeper and deeper into a state of emotional turmoil and despair

We running to this beat on Christmas morning
Together, we are energetically moving to the rhythm on Christmas morning

Everything that I've done, I've done it for you for you (for you, for you)
All of my actions and efforts, without exception, have been performed exclusively for your sake

Now I fall, now you fall
Presently, I am descending, and simultaneously, so are you

Now we fall together
Now, both of us are plunging downward in unison

Now I fall, now you fall, oh
At this moment, I am falling, and likewise, so are you, oh
