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".

会ったこともない遠い遠いただのファンでただの一般人の私が、離婚の報道を知りこの曲が頭に流れて 刹那的な気持ちになりました。
だけど前向きなお別れとお見受けしました^_^
形が変わるのは、いつだって寂しくて孤独があって、けれど土台にはお互いの大きな愛があるのかなと感じました。
それぞれが新しい道でも納得のいく幸せな人生が送れますように…♡
見えるままが全てじゃないですよね
生まれ変わっても、お二人とお子さんがまた出会えますように。♡

@IGprefiere0s.-
仁くんは、娘ちゃんのこと想って作ったんじゃないと否定してたけど、どうみても子を想うパパ愛に溢れてる歌詞だろ？照れ隠しだと思う。娘ちゃんが丁度歩き始めた頃に作った曲で、転んだらすぐ抱きかかえられるように「両手は空っぽにしておくよ♪」と歌詞を書いたんじゃなかろうか？と妄想してみた😆

今日我が家に子供が産まれました。
コロナの対策で立ち会いが出来なかった為この曲をずっと聴きながら祈ってました✨産まれたと妻から電話が来た時は、辛い時や楽しい時を共に過ごした妻の事と、お腹の中で頑張った子供の事を考えたら自然と涙が溢れました。
ずっと傍にいて支えます。この曲は私にとって大切な曲になりました✨
@adwofb
パパになれて良かったねぇって涙が出る。良い曲
