Yamada's solo CD
Hello =)
just dropping by to share my thoughts on Yama-chan's solo debut.
First of all, i think fans need to calm down.
The title is 'Yamada's solo debut' not 'Yamada is leaving JUMP'.
i know Johnny's fans are traumatized by Yamapi & Jin's act, me included.
But let us look at things objectively rather than emotionally.
1) Yamada singing alone is better than having HSJ as 'Yamada & his back-dancers'.
Remember Hitomi No Screen? Remember how much we curse Yama-chan for making the rest look like back-dancers?
I don't want to have that feelings anymore, therefore i agree with Johnny-san this time to let Yama-chan perform his own drama theme song.
2) Inoo, Yabu and Keito are busy with their studies.
Let's not forget that Inoo-chan is struggling with his final thesis (those who have undergo that hellish period would know why i am so concern about Kei's well being). If I'm not mistaken graduation in Japan is around spring-summer time. So Inoo will need all the time he has to complete his graduation thesis. Around that time Keito and Yabu will also have their yearly evaluation (exam, ect). I think that's why JUMP is slowing down on their release. So rather than having them back-dancing Yamada (like HnS) i would vote for them to study. This is also a mean of support that Yama-chan can do for them as HE IS HSJ YAMADA RYOSUKE; even with him going alone on stage HSJ will still be called out.
3) HSJ is not NEWS/KaT-TUN
Yamapi was forced into NEWS (in the beginning), and so is Jin with KaT-TUN (he was made to stay until 2010). But these ten boys (of course Ryu is included) are not the same. YabuHika has worked so hard for this past 5 years (and the most last year) to keep JUMP together. And friends, go watch their latest concert DVD, disc 2. Their chemistry, their friendship are not just a stage act. it's real. I'm sure Yama-chan has consulted the others prior to agreeing with this solo debut decision. There might be bittersweet feelings among the members, but i'm sure Yama-chan will not let JUMP members down. After all they still have shokura, school kakumei & yan yan JUMP to host together. We'll see him with the others more often than we think. Let's believe he has the membership spirit like kame/nishikido- they are famous, and they are working hard to make their group known too.
This is just my 2 cents on this issue. You may agree or disagree, but this is what i feel (and there's no need to start an argument, left alone leaving harsh words on my page). Honestly, rather than yama-chan's solo debut i'm more worried about Kei's graduation (i feel like a mum. lol =P ) Now that Johnny's World has been extended to January, he will have to struggle even more. He looks skinnier on each tv appearance. I just hope Kei can graduate smoothly next year.
To Yama-chan, as long as you bear Hey Say JUMP's name, you have my support. It is less likely that you'll be reading this, but dude, go for it. Fly even higher, but please don't forget to land on the ground. there are people waiting for you at your home called JUMP. please don't disappoint your group members and JUMP's fans.
And again, no one can possibly knows what is going on in Johnny-san's mind. he might suddenly cancel the solo CD debut and make JUMP new single instead, or he can suddenly announce JUMP's new single right after Yamada's solo debut (making my point no#2 irrelevant). but seeing this progress i have a hunch that JUMP band might have their own CD sooner or later (oh yes, i want to hear more of Takaki's smexy voice). whatever it is, JUMP members have my support.
All right, back to work!
p/s: Johnny-san, please give Kei a drama role once he graduated. i don't care how big or how small the character will be, but he deserves to be pushed to the front too. Or better, you can make BEST's drama- now that will be fun!
