Trivia♥
* As a child, he witnessed a man being killed.
* He went to an all-boy's school.
* He joined the Johnny's because he admired Tsubasa Imai so much.
* He is a sensitive person, and is easily hurt by what others say.
* Band-mate Jin Akanishi who joined Johnny's 6 months after Ueda thought at first that Ueda was a senpai of the same level as Hideaki Takizawa.
* He was once talent-scouted by another talent agency.
* Band-mate Kazuya Kamenashi befriended him when they formed KAT-TUN and always looks out for him. One of his wishes is for Ueda to have a solo concert one day.
* Before KAT-TUN's first concert in 2002, he got into a fist fight with Kazuya Kamenashi, which nearly resulted in the splitting of the group. A reenactment of the fight can be seen on the 2002 concert DVD.
* According to various j-web entries and the Kaizokuban Interviews, he is closest to band-mate Yuichi Nakamaru outside of KAT-TUN.
* Ryo Nishikido from NEWS/Kanjani8 is sometimes cruel to Ueda. After Kazuya Kamenashi asked Ryo not to question Ueda about his ambitions, telling him that Ueda gets upset that he isn't sure about it, Ryo publicly questioned him again. Then, early this year, Ryo announced that he hates Ueda most of all the Johnny's. However, it has come to light that this rivalry was actually started by Shōnen Club, a Johnny's Entertainment variety show. Despite the fact that the rivalry was mostly scripted, Ryo (famed for his cutting remarks) has admitted that he might have taken the incident too far by not thinking before speaking.
* He learned to play the piano as a child, but now prefers the guitar and sometimes plays in KAT-TUN's songs, such as "Rhodesia" and "Butterfly" (both solo pieces with the former sung along with Tanaka Koki and the latter with Jin Akanishi).
* He speaks/is learning both English and French (the same as his idol, Gackt).
* He used to want to be a teacher, but decided against it after realising that he might be assigned to an all-girls school (he says he would be too nervous).
* His current long-term ambition is to direct classical music, while at present he has a share in creating KAT-TUN's music.
* He wants to name his future daughter "Elizabeth", but because Japanese people would find it difficult to pronounce, he'd shorten it to "Eri/Eli".
* On the basketball team in school, he says he was very good.
* He sometimes wears blue contact lenses.
* He is most famous for his song "Love in Snow" sung during KAT-TUN's Kaizokuban concert. Like "Love in Snow," most of his solos are ballads, like "Pieces" and "Kakigoori," while others are rock songs, such as "Sparking" and "Lost."
* He comes from a wealthy family (according to SUMMARY backstage and the cartoon KAT-TUN episode of April 11, 2007)- he travels on private planes from time to time. Nakamaru Yuichi of KAT-TUN further commented that Ueda goes to Hawaii every year for vacation.
* When he was a kid, he went to calligraphy school on Monday's, Sorobans (a traditional way to calculate) on Tuesdays, swimming on Wednesday, Painting on Thurdays, English on Fridays, Cram school on Saturdays
* He sometimes goes practice boxing 5 times a week
* He prefers not to dance, but does anyways

Quotes♥
* "With different people I'm with, I change into one of my many me's and use thauote"
* "I wish I can have a hot and serious relationship."
* "I see fairies"

* He’s a native of the Kanagawa prefecture.

* His hobby is guitar, and his talent is also the guitar. He has no life motto.

* This book tells you mainly of stuff that made Ueda earned his nickname ‘fushigi-chan’. (fushigi means weird, peculiar). Imma quote some of it.

* He’d once said, when being asked of his hometown, that he came from a fairyland. - (*dies from laughing*...Tat-chan, the fairy princess...LMAO)

* At the MC part of a concert they did in Osaka, Akanishi once asked him (because they didn’t have work the previous day) what he was doing yesterday. He answered that he broke his sunglasses some time before (you the one that looks like Gackt’s? yeah, that one) and he spent the day in his hotel room, with all the lights of, and with only a candle as illumination, and was fixing the sunglasses. He’s only gluing the thing back together, but he said that by doing it like that it seems like he’s doing an operation of something. - (LMAO...so cute...i want to see this...)

* He said if he has 1 million yen he’d use it for plastic surgery. - (why ever for Tat-chan?...you look fine....)

People close to him said that when he first joined KAT-TUN they called him ‘cute’. But then as he started to change images and all that they said he’s weird. - (poor Tat-chan...at least he's more sociable now....)

* He bought the exact same necklace that Gackt has, (made by his favorite brand [deaf breed]) for a jaw-dropping price of 240.000¥. The price of the bracelet is 110.000¥. Before that he likes to wear a necklace he got from Takki. - (ok....Tat-chan is really rich...and i remember when Koki commented about Ueda's house...something about it being fancy or something...)

* Because he doesn’t like to listen to other people’s opinion, even though previously people around him tried to give him advices about his ever-changing images, now they just let him be himself.

A strong punch

(begins with) a tough

physique

(in order to do that)

I have to put in 10km of roadwork everyday

I'm Ueda Tatsuya

really

lately, I'm eating insanely

especially in the mornings

like, this way

rice
miso soup
natto
stir-fried vegetables
3 pieces of toast ( no butter )
yogurt
vegetable juice

I eat both Western and Japanese breakfast together
then
15 minutes later

apple

munch munch

a whole bite

bad, maybe?

But
it is said that to be a first class athlete, one must have a tough stomach, so...

uh
whatever

eat a lot

box

work

run and run.

With this

I'll become strong

Ok, then ( bye )

Kawashima san

I relayed your message to Kame

Good luck in boxing

Yeah thats the only one I've seen so far thats newest^^;

Omg!! <3333
Lawl;;
Cute Tat-chan. xD

isn't he now?
ah~~~~ he maintains his long and Lanky body! *SPAZZ♥_♥*

even he eats soo much it seem that he's still the skinnest in kat-tun right? maybe that's becoz he does so many exercise *boxing*

He's got big biceps now from all the training and boxing~
And yet he still has the smallest body figure (aside from maybe Kame) in KAT-TUN~ D8

by the way u know tat-chan is actually the shortest among all the KAT-TUN members but oh well he is tall enough for me already * i am onli 156cm and i know I AM SHORT!* not my fault

Lawl;; Yeah;; You can tell in the photoshoot pictures and stuff...
He's especially short beside Taguchi.. xD
Haha;; It's ok;
I'm shorter...
I'm only 4'9'' or something like that... D8
