KAT-TUN just started their tour "KAT-TUN LIVE TOUR 2010 WORLD BIG TOUR" at the Tokyo Dome on the 16th, without Akanishi Jin. �The president of Johnny's Entartainment, Johnny Kitagawa showed up at the concert and talked about Jin.� According to Kitagawa, there are plans for Jin to perform as a solo artist in the U.S next year, so there is no plan for Jin to go back to KAT-TUN for now.

However, the final decision on Jin's official withdrawal from KAT-TUN will be made after his tour in the U.S. this fall.

Kitagawa said, "I'm only thinking about Jin's success in the U.S. �It's not good if I spoil him by telling him 'come back to KAT-TUN if you fail in the U.S.' �All I can do for him is to support whatever he wants to do in the U.S."

Kitagawa also stated that there is no need to worry about KAT-TUN's disbandment.
