KAT-TUN is since around 1 year and 6 months once of my bubbles of happiness.
When I feel bad I will listen to their songs, watch their shows, concerts etc...
I am a new fan but I guess I almost watched all the old concerts, vids and of course I know all of their songs now.
Before becoming 5 you could see that Jin wasn't happy even grumpy and didn't care anymore. Before becoming 4 Koki was "normal" but the Jimusho gave signs stopping his radio show with Nakamaru, no group activities and no new album single...so fans could I think expect the "worst"...:( I have to say those brought a lot to KAT-TUN songs, they made me laugh too but for me KAT-TUN 4人 is perfect on all point.
My fav album is Kusabi and my fav single is In fact, my fav show is Tame tabi and my fav concert is come Here (cause well I was there ...not sure i am objective here ^^).
I was watching "Best artist" live and when I saw them I just knew something was wrong right away...and then i listened to Junno and i began to cry because I just couldn't believe it.:(((
Like I said before there were signs of the other two leaving but for Junno ? no only him crying during Quarter but I had put it on frustration (was obviously wrong :(). Which means he decided a long time ago and by that time I am not sure he had talked about it to the members cause they said on an interview that they were surprised he cried :(.
So yeah I am terribly frustrated, my bubble burst.
And then I thought about it ....He declared he will quit himself taking all the responsabilities. He is not only leaving KAT-TUN but the whole show business. But he is leaving regulary at the end of his contract. He wants to marry I guess and Johnny's won't let him do it which is definetly wrong. But maybe it's not marriage maybe he is tired of being followed by paparats, respecting rules etc...so I support his decision I just hope he won't regret it.
I followed japanese fans reatcion when one member of Arashi was "suspected" of having a girlfriend and their reactions were crazy. I mean all johnnys saw thatt and what do you think they thought about it like they are trapped and that's awful....So I am happy that he decided to do "follow his heart" even througt it's breaking mine.
I want to say to hyphens who doesn't support his decision "not to be selfish" all 4 of them deserve to be happy.
So yes I am hurt. Song Wise I think the 3 of them will manage, concert too but variety ? this time the hole will be really big but we will see (I have faith in my boys).
On tuesday I wrote that I want them to quit but the idea is that I want them to stick together so in my mind by disbanding they will kinda stay together ....(hard to understand ? I know ^^).
We still have time and until spring I want to see all 4 of them on variety like always and do their best of album (very likely for their 10th anniversary). I also want them to do a concert to say "goodbye".
I mean he deserves and awesome send off cause he always did his job well and with a smile :)
So yes I am really sad for Kame Ueda and Nakamaru (must be hell for them to go through that again and again) but now I am happy if Junno can find his special Happiness ^^.
Let's enjoy the time we still have with him and let's wait for announcements ^^.
Sorry for the long long post but I needed to get it out (now I feel better ^^)
Thanks for reading if you want to chat with me I am all yes ^^
