I was trying to catch up on some reading since the major examinations are just around the corner when a friend of mine suddenly sent me a text message saying this. "Arashi is better off if Jun wasn't in it. Toma should've had his spot." Like... WTH?? I asked her who sent the message because I really want to know and give her a piece of my mind. She said that the message was also forwarded to her from some Hey!Say!Jump! clan. I managed to get her to look for info and apparently that girl is a newbie to the fandom and claims that she is both Toma and Arashi's fan...

"Arashi is better off if Jun wasn't in it. Toma should've had his spot."
TO YOU WHOM I HAVE NO INTENTION OF KNOWING YOUR NAME
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! You call yourself an Arashi fan?? Saying that?? Dude! For real??
Arashi has made it through all these years because JUN and NOT TOMA is a part of it. I know for a fact that Jun is not the best singer in the group, nor is he the best dancer. He isn't the very cause of laughter in the group but, Jun is an important member of the group and without him, Arashi wouldn't be the same. Jun isn't all that but he does what he do with all his effort to deliver it well. If Toma is even to replace Jun... then it wouldn't be Arashi anymore. I'm not saying that you should like Jun but the very least you can do if you consider yourself as an Arashi fan is to respect Jun as one of its members unlike what you are doing now.
No offense meant to Toma fans because I like him too. And I like the interactions between Toma and the rest of the members but this 'fan' hasn't realized that it is Jun who is a part of Arashi. Toma has proudly made a name for himself without any unit attached to his name and he's doing his best building himself as an actor. She should be happy with that.
I'm so happy I have no idea who you are or I might've just went straight up to you and slapped you with whatever HARD thing I have in possession.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT JUN IS IN ARASHI WELL TO BAD... HE IS. AND HE ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. STOP BASHING HIM AND GIVE HIM THE DAMN RESPECT HE DESERVES!
