I'm a huge fan of both NEWS and Kanjani8. I've stuck to my NEWS through thick and thin and the immaturity of these "FANS" baffle me. Good job, you made me speechless! You fucking imbeciles.
What are you. Five?
UAAAAH MY ICHIBANS ARE IN DANGER. LET ME FLAUNT MY IMMATURITY. POOR ICHIBANS. WHAT TO DO. OH IDK. LEAVE FANDOM!!!!! GREAT IDEA!!!!
Dear fandom. Things simply will not work this way.
Just because YOU are angry and hurt and whatever suppressed feelings I'm sure makes your actions totally fine in your head, it doesn't mean you are right.
These people are your idols. They exist because you like them. Who are you to say that because one or two leave the band the other ones are worthless.
Why is my ichiban, who happens to be one of the four remaining, worth so little in your eyes that YOUR anger and upset hearts are above the survival of HIS career?
Allow me to break it to you. If the new NEWS is a big fat flop, it is YOUR fault. You and your Well-Someone-Left-Let-It-All-Be-Damned attitude. Who are you??
When Kusano and Uchi were suspended, a lot of fans were upset, but we kept on and we continued looking forward.
Also who are you to deem it's all over because Yamapi and Ryo left? Are they the entire group? Again, FUCK you. You narrowminded Yamapi-fans. You blind fans defending poor Ryo-chan. And surely it's not YAMAPI'S fault?? No, because he, he is a god. Isn't that what you think? If not, please correct me.
Maybe the thought have never crossed your mind, but just because you see him as flawless, doesn't mean he IS. We all know Ryo can be this asshole beyond measure and if you didn't already notice, open your eyes to how selfish Yamapi is. (Stfu, he obviously "loved" NEWS enough to not give a fuck whether or not this meant the end for them.)
But if you were only fans because of Yamapi and Ryo, why the hell were you fans? What makes you BOTHER? Go spend your energy on something worthwhile. Why would you listen to the rest of them in songs and look at their concerts? What makes you think you deserve it.
They deserve a fucking chance. You don't like it? Fine. Go - I don't CARE. Or maybe you could suck it up and DEAL with the situation. Why the hurry to get out of the fandom?
But fine. Go chase after your precious Ryo and perfect Yamapi. I don't WANT you here.
I can already hear all the shit that's going to come in their defense but I will hear none of it. I am perfectly capable of seeing where someone has wronged and call them out on it. Maybe it's not ALL to be blamed on these two. But they are ultimately responsible for their actions. Ryo has dealt with this for YEARS, it's not like NEWS has any real activities crowding up his poor schedule or whatever he blamed. And Yamapi, do you HONESTLY think he would go solo even if he didn't want it? He too has part in this (yes he does. Fuck you)
I blame Yamapi especially. He's the one with the nastiest fans.
He's the LEADER and he leaves his band, the members which depend on him? Yeah, sure he's a little innocent puppy and all manipulated by his management. I laugh at you guys, seriously. You underestimate him. Think before you defend.
I'm a real fan. I know my idols have flaws as well as all that great stuff they get praised for. I clench my teeth, smile and give them another chance. I wait patiently. Some of you, on the other hand.
I hear from people that there are fans who
¤ Leave fandom entirely.
¤ Delete their music and videos.
¤ Delete their writing/stop writing.
¤ Sell all their fandom stuff.
Again, why in such a hurry. You make me honestly mad and I hope karma comes back for you. Just because you're hurt, the memories you have surrounding this group of people are all worthless? Why can't you face up to your bitterness?
Can you imagine the feelings of the remaining four when they hear their fans are all leaving them?
At least if you leave, remember to not come back. I know tons will leave "permanently" and then come crawling back professing their love.
Maybe it's evolution. When a band goes through transformations, the lesser valuable fans fall away.
I admit, I am bitter and angry, I started sobbing in the middle of a café when I got the news. That doesn't mean I will always be hurt. Just because I hate Ryo's damned face right now, I know that in the future I will learn to accept that he's Nishikido Ryo, member of Kanjani8 and only that. I will learn to accept the fact that Yamapi is just Yamashita Tomohisa, solo artist. I won't like it. I will still be sad but I will take a deep breath and move the fuck ON.
I don't know how long this new four member NEWS will last, but until the end, and after that, I will stand by them and the memories I've made with the help of them. I owe them all that much.
