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".

1年に1度の特別なこの日を
何度でもいつまでも 一番近くで
無邪気な笑顔 変わらない仕草
一つ一つ 全てが宝物
あなたが 笑って生きてる
うれしくて 暖かくて
優しくなれる
僕の未来を照らしてる
母がくれたぬくもり 大きな愛に包まれて
いつだって 歩んでる
友達のたくさんの 優しさを胸に
ふざけてはけんかして 分かち合う喜び
数えきれない 程の思い出
これからも共に描くの
例えば いつか違う世界で
生まれ変わっても
僕らは それぞれ 同じ様に出会い
同じ様にあなたを愛すでしょう
乗り越えなきゃならない事もあるけど
負けないで 何があっても ずっと傍に居るから
例えば 願いがかなうなら 悲しみのナミダが
もう二度と あなたにこぼれないように
魔法をかけてくれますか
あなたと 共に生きてる 素敵な笑顔で
胸はって 手をつないで 寄り添って歩いて行く
そんな未来を待っている
今日もありがとう
The lyrics of 赤西仁 Akanishi Jin's song "Eternal" express the idea that some feelings cannot be conveyed with simple words like "like" and "dislike." It talks about a special day that comes only once a year, and how the singer wants to be close to the person they love on that day, forever. They cherish every little thing about this person, like their innocent smile and unchanged habits, and they believe that just seeing them happy makes their own heart warm and kinder. The singer also mentions the warmth and love they have received from their mother, and the kindness they have found in their friends, which they will always carry in their heart. Although there may be challenges in life, the singer promises to never leave the side of the person they love, and to keep waiting for a future where they can walk together, holding hands and with proud smiles on their faces.
The song is a touching tribute to the power of love and the importance of relationships, both romantic and platonic. It emphasizes the way that love can keep us going through tough times, and the way that the support of family and friends can make us feel strong and valued. The lyrics also show an appreciation for the small things in life, like a smile or a habit, and how they can be treasured as precious memories. Finally, the song expresses the hope that the singer and their loved one will always find each other, even if they are reborn in different worlds, and that a little bit of magic might help them out along the way.
