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".

Do it like me
I said I love you, you said I do too
So why are you waiting baby
Let's get it up, get it, get it up now
Let me rock your body right now
Beat it, beat it up till you get enough
Imma beat it up till you get it enough love
We can go slow till you wanna speed it up
Keep it gentle till we get a little rough
So intoxicating I can't get enough
No rush let's drop the tempo
We can take it real slow, slow, slow
Take it real slow, slow, slow
We can take it real slow, slow, slow
No rush let's drop the tempo
We can take it real slow, slow, slow
Take it real slow, slow, slow
Then we drop it down low low low
No rush let's drop the tempo
We can take it real slow
Startin' off just a little too shy
So baby close your eyes
When I'm with you ooh the things we do
It's for private viewing baby
What you want, tell me what you want yeah
Say the word and I'll kiss you right there
Change your position
We can do it anywhere
We can go slow till you wanna speed it up
Keep it gentle till we get a little rough
So intoxicating I can't get enough
No rush let's drop the tempo

No rush let's drop the tempo
We can take it real slow, slow, slow
Take it real slow, slow, slow
Then we drop it down low low low
No rush let's drop the tempo
We can take it real slow

Startin' off just a little too shy
Beginning with a slight reservation or timidity
So baby close your eyes
Therefore, my dear, please shut your eyes
When I'm with you ooh the things we do
In our shared moments, oh the actions we engage in
It's for private viewing baby
These actions are meant for our exclusive observation, my dear
What you want, tell me what you want yeah
Tell me your desires, please communicate your wishes
Say the word and I'll kiss you right there
Simply utter the command, and I will place a kiss on that specific spot
Change your position
Alter your stance or arrangement
We can do it anywhere
We have the flexibility to engage in these activities in any location
We can take it real slow
We can proceed at a leisurely pace

「時代がやっとこの曲に追いついた」
「これが~年前なんて先を行き過ぎている」
という記載がありますよね!!!!
それは彼がアメリカ留学してたからだと思います\(^^)/
アメリカと日本では音楽でも5~10年ほどの遅れがあるということなんですよね...
でも赤西仁さんのすごいところは時代の先取り&自分色をつけたしてオリジナルの世界観を作り出す力があること (いわゆるセンス)
これが唯一無二の赤西仁さんを作り上げているということなんですよね...
アメリカ行っていることをバカにしたコメントもよく見たり聞いたりしてるけど
全然世の中を理解していないコメントだなと思ってしまいます
アメリカ留学の真骨頂が彼のパフォーマンスに現れています(>_<)
