This is a very detailed timeline of Jin's history. I think

flamesword and
darkgloom were looking for something like this a long time ago? It is again from Baidu and in Chinese. I haven't quite decided if it's totally factual yet because it has such tidbits like, "1988, Jin is 4 years old, the Akanishi family dog dies (tear)". Maybe Chinese fans are just more ninja than I thought.

Look at him (minus feet) grow!
I was actually looking for translations of the cartoon KAT-TUN pamphlet. It's most likely full of JE-sanctioned fluff like "the members are so grateful to their fans!" and "Kame dropped his hot dog so Koki gave half of his to Kame and the other half to a starving puppy that happened along" but it frustrates me that I can't understand the JE-sanctioned fluff. Was the starting point in Manhattan or Coney Island? Does it really take an hour to get from Manhattan to Coney Island? Maybe they spent an hour discussing whether they should make the starting point Manhattan or Coney Island. It's enough for me to pull out my
illegally downloaded Pimsleur tapes.
Thirty minutes and countless
[blank] wa doko desuka's later, I came back to the pamphlet. The first sentence was still a mystery, but I think the second means that they were very low tension when meeting in the hotel lobby at nine in the morning. This is punctuated by an exclamation mark so it's obviously more important than where they went or how they spent that mysterious hour. Obviously. I also didn't need Pimsleur's
doko desuka to figure it out. This was when I turned to Baidu and discovered Jin's miraculous, non-growing feet.
Translating questionable Chinese translations is still better than what I really do with my free time these days, which involves reading
illegally downloaded homoerotic
e-books that could be written better, deciding I can write better e-books, grudgingly returning to the homoerotic e-books that could still be written better because no, I can't. And then starting that cycle all over again. I am also ping-ponging between two plot bunnies so nothing's getting done and my Microbiology text remains unread. It's the bacterias' own fault; asexual reproduction just does not make for an interesting story.
It turns:
"Asshole."
"Control freak."
"Selfish, lazy bastard," Kame growled, ending the conversation by stomping into a closet. He had just managed to peel his sweat-drenched t-shirt off his back when the door opened and Jin barreled in.
"I wasn't done!" Jin said. He shut the door in case Kame tried to end the conversation by stomping out of the closet. "You are...not cool." They were both sweating from the high of the concert, actually, and Jin could feel every shift of Kame's muscles. His thighs were wedged between Kame's legs. "So not cool."
"Shut up," Kame said. His fingers dug into Jin's shoulders, pushing Jin away. Or propping himself up so he could wrap his legs around Jin's waist.
"YOU shut up!" Jin shot back. Then, a minute later. "Oh. God. Right there. Yes. Yesss."
Into:
"Asshole."
"Control freak."
"Selfish, lazy bastard," Kame growled, ending the conversation by stomping into a closet.
Ten minutes later, the door opened and two bushy-eyebrowed kids stepped out.
"Hey, uglies," Ryo said.
