I can't believe I couldn't even bear listening to NEWS' songs now... It just makes me so sad...
Tried to concentrate on my studying but my hand wandered off to a magazine on the shelf that caught my eye. Oricon style from march 2007 when NEWS came back out as six after one year of hiatus.
The words Pi wrote kinda gives us an idea of what he's thinking now I guess, but it makes me all so much more disappointed now when I read it again, and of course the happy faces of those six gathering and working together after separating for one year is something we can only dream of from now on...
Here's the comment Pi gave at that time:
僕は、ひとりで立ち向かって行く勇気を磨きましたね。いろんなところで経験を積んだっていうのも大きかったな。特にGYMの経験は大きかったと思う。国の壁を越えてコミュニケーションできたことは楽しかった。その後、タイ語は全く練習してないけど(笑)。自分のパワーだったり、どれくらいの力量なのか?ってことをしれたことも良かったと思う。あとはNEWSを離れて客観的に考えたときに、やっぱりNEWSあっての俺なんだなって感じました。帰る場所があるって、いいですね。
My Translation:
I have polished my courage to stand up and go on alone (after this period). It was a big thing to gain so much experiences from all the things I've done. Especially the experience with GYM. It was happy to cross over the barrier of different countries and be able to communicate. After that I hardly practiced my Thai though(smile). It was great also to realize "How much is the power that I have? ". It was then I objectively considered about leaving NEWS, in the end however, I feel that I am me when I'm in NEWS. With NEWS, there's a place I can return to, and that is a great thing.
And so it seems, even back then Pi always had some idea of leaving NEWS but he might have not been quite prepared at that time, and there was still that factor of feeling safer with a group, but now yamapi seems all ready to meet the challenges himself so he has chosen to leave NEWS. As much as I understand ppl have their rights to choose their path, I think there's this factor of responsibility involved when it affects the path of five other ppl and also the hearts of millions that have supported and loved them.
It's still a pity that Pi had to choose the most selfish path there was....
It's almost as if now that NEWS won't be able to bring him to new heights and so he considers leaving just like that.
I'm sorry if my comments seem so biased and cynical towards Pi but I've heard rumors and now this, so somehow I just still can't get over it...
Sigh...
