theres lots of rumours circulating with jnetz about this ranging from pregnancy to botched ps. Honestly while its normal for japanese celebs to go on hiatus they always announce it and most of the times give a reason to it. Its very very rare for someone to disappear all of the sudden like Mayu has. Im worried about her and hope shes ok and just needed the rest.

And staff from both sony and avex have tested positive. What makes this even crazier that during all the corona virus the response from tv station has been to hold live music show specials where there will be a lot of artists and groups interacting in small spaces like no wonder its spreading in the industry like this.

omg shes her sister ? 

im not shocked every 1-2 years there will be rumour of a comeback even tho she really seemed eager to retire from the industry.

Shame tho the fake plot for the Nobuta wo Produce season 2 sounded so good!

Is this like to burry Ryo and Jin’s collab together?

nah 15th year anniversary they did a similar reunion on 10th tho in  my opinion it was wasted on a meh drama and mediocre single hope this anniversary will be used better.

this trended like crazy at new years and depending what it is could be big success for both of them and sexy zone that has kinda been put on the back burner for 2019. Hope 2020 will be better year for sexy zone and for Kinpuri another year to continue their crazy rise.

she was actually as big as them back in the days until her betsu ni scandal and then her career tanked from there for a while until it picked back up again but now it's plummeting again.

not sure why this makes a bad take lol
its conservative press doing damage control over Abe doing shit, like it happen in every country and japan does that a lot to try to silence and hijack whatever issue might be a concern

and the fact u have to put celebrities, or whatever person, as moral example and get their life ruined is disgusting and not excusable in any way

It makes it a bad take because it’s only 1 person saying it who is very biased already.

The Abe thing is being reported on but people usually care more for gossip and celeb scandals it’s a sad reality and her alleged  drug use has been written about for years so no wonder the media is jumping for joy that they can finally prove their stories and can literally release any clips of her acting abnormally and call it drug use and people will instantly click it.  They click it because they can finally say all their assumptions of her are real and vilify her for being “different” and not conforming to the norms of society. It’s very unfortunate that people need to have their careers ruined to make an example of them but sadly that’s life not only in Japan.

am I saddened by the fact that all their careers are ruined and the media is dragging the hell out of all these stories and even bringing non confirmed celebrities in to it yes I am extremely sad but am I surprised well no honestly im not.

interesting analysis and honestly considered how shitty is jpn press, its sounds believable 

 

honestly thats a bad take theres a reason only 1 person is reposting that and its from a leftist party . there have been like 6 popular celebrities busted for drugs this year alone and more a rumored to come tabloids have been guessing who those guys are for months now.

The likely reason is someone in that circle not worth reporting on got caught and ratted everyone out for a lighter sentence or smt. Not to mention with the olympics coming japan has began its anti drugs campaigning so these celebrities are being made an example of (not much tho sentences have been extremely light) to deter the public from using drugs

A side question: Does Kouchi(?)'s beatbox sometimes is incorporated in some of SixTONES' songs like Nakamaru in KAT-TUN's song? I am wondering if any Johnny's junior groups will carry on the legacy(?)

i dont think he has done that in a long time so i feel like that might not be part of his image anymore which is sad

I'm super excited too! If Yoshiki says that "incorporates a Yoshiki melody" I expect something heavily based on piano but also rock?

Curious too about Snowman debut song. Seems like Takki is reaching new people to produce his groups. I heard not long ago that he offered Namie Amuro to produce some songs. 

the Name thing was a rumor lol i feel like they are using more famous producers for  shock factor as well as for a different sound. Im hoping snowman gets a good famous producer too 

im so exited for that. I wonder what kinda sound hes gonna give them. Im also interested to know what type of single snowman will get and who will produce it.

Cocaine too thats so sad and shes been using for may years too now  i hope she gets the help she needs to get over her drug habits. Seems like the rumours over the years about her drug use were true after all which is saddening

That's really sad It says her drug problems started after a divorce... that's fucked up.

Weed isn't such a big deal but MDMA can be extremely addictive for people who are depressed etc. That must be what happened. That's really sad

this isn't conformed and mostly based on tabloid articles over the years so I'm putting these in spoilers but

sadly this kills her extremely successful comeback to acting, its sad to think that without all the scandals she could have been as big Ayase Haruka, Ishihara Satomi ect. 

We wont be seeing her in any mainstream project anymore, she probably could make a acting comeback in some indie project years from now but dont see a possibility for return to any big project from now on.

Which member is gonna take a break?

Ohno is the one taking the brake, most likely all the others will continue doing solo activities

I’ve never seen a group (that wasn’t temporary) give so much notice before their imminent disbandment. No ones doing it like them.

they are not disbanding tho, they are taking a hiatus because 1 member wants a break from the industry and the rest see it as arashi is 5 so they will  continue solo activities until he comes back and they will continue as a group.

Arashi has opened up their own youtube channel and have already poetised 5 mvs on it. This marks the 4th youtube channel opened up by Johnny’s & Associates and the 2nd Artist channel. Arashi is set to go on a hiatus by the end of 2020 and are celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year by holding a year long dome tour and having an attendance of over 2 million fans.

Arashi has posted Mv for their debut song A.RA.SHI

And other hit song like Love so Sweet, Happiness, Truth and Monster 

The groups has also joined spotify

They’re most likely gonna debut after SixMan. Traja already has their own IG acc. Not sure about B Shounen and 7samurai. 

Naniwa danshi and B shounen are far more popular than travis japan. Naniwa danshi is already doing national tours in halls.

The IG account was for their play. I feel like travis japan and 7mensamurai wont debut like regular groups.

travis japan has not bee announced to debut tho, mu guess its either naniwa danshi or bishounen that will debut after Sunosuto

Thanks

oh wow i didnt expect them to be lower than pd48

how have the ratings been for the last 2 episodes ?

And AKS will still swear that no member was involved in the attack. 3 girls who just wanted NGT to safe and proper group are forced to graduate while the bully members behind the attack get to stay in the group with no consequences for their actions. this is so fucking fucked up. 

Her acting career was really taking off too, i hope this wont kill the momentum she has.

but congrats i guess

Done! they should work now

yes they work now thank you so much!
