Jin Akanishi at tour rehearsals

I had the opportunity of hanging out with Jin Akanishi yesterday for his tour rehearsals.

The Japanese pop star, undoubtedly, has some incredible moves & his music definitely caught my ear. We watched on while he worked with his choreographer as they brushed up on routines for tour. 

He's already collabed with Jason Derulo for their hit dance single "Test Drive" and his latest single "Sun Burns Down" has also gained major popularity.
