Butthurt Over Debut

Jan 18, 2018 22:52

I haven't posted anything since the Russians took over Livejournal but I'm just so dissapointed by the recent debut announcement that I need a safe environment to express myself.

I was waiting, hoping and praying for a debut announcement in 2018. But when it finally came, it wasn't the news that I wanted to hear. Not because I don't like the boys in King&Prince or think that they're less deserving than any other junior groups, but I just feel stupid for being optimistic. I want my favourite juniors to succeed. I want them to debut. I want them to have releases for me to enjoy. This announcement will not lead to any of those three things.

I'm too tired to speculate what this might mean for the numerous junior groups who've sat on the backburner, watching these debuts happen, wondering when and if it will be their turn. I don't think J&A has made any mistakes in the artists that they've debuted. To a greater or lesser degree, they've all got a significant fanbase and sales figures to be proud of. But then again, how can they not when they have the financial and reputational support of a entertainment giant like J&A behind them.

A Love-tune debut was always going to be a wildcard. From the level of pure butthurt-ness, I don't think I'll be able to get excited over this long awaited new debut and the group's future activities.
