Why it matters
The two former KAT-TUN members, who last shared a stage-adjacent moment when Akanishi attended the group's final live in November 2025, are now pointing a joint domain at a single date, which is the clearest signal yet that the JinKame pairing is being revived as a working unit rather than a reunion anecdote.
Key Facts
- Kazunari Kamenashi and Jin Akanishi launched the website jinkame.com on November 8.
- The site shows a countdown to 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11.
- Kamenashi posted "Coming soon" and Akanishi posted "Hello" on X when the site launched.
- November 8 is the anniversary of the two joining the former Johnny's office in 1998.
- KAT-TUN disbanded as of March 31, 2025, and Kamenashi left STARTO ENTERTAINMENT the same day.
Details of the project are not yet clear. November 8 is also the anniversary of the two joining the former Johnny's office in 1998.
The domain carries both names and nothing else: no label, no promoter, no project description. The countdown ends at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 11, and the two X posts went up alongside the site, Kamenashi's reading "Coming soon" and Akanishi's reading "Hello."
The date of the launch is not incidental. November 8 is the anniversary of the two joining the former Johnny's office in 1998, and it falls roughly a year after KAT-TUN's post-disbandment last live at ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba, where Akanishi attended as an audience member while Kamenashi performed with Tatsuya Ueda and Yuichi Nakamaru.
