Why is Taichi the one apologizing and no Yamaguchi??

I'm not surprised he's apologizing for the scandal in general, that's how it usually works. But J&A's gotta know that a half assed apology through fax isn't going to cut it right? I wonder if there will be a press conference for this soon.

 

On another note, I saw on twitter that this incident took place a couple of months ago, so I had wondered if the rest of the members had known about this beforehand or not. Judging by his words, they didn't seem to. I kinda feel bad that they're hard work is at jeopardy rn. Tbh though, I think it would best for them to remove him from the group and cut ties, but we'll see.

He is done for and TOKIO is going down with him. I feel so bad for the rest of the members.

 

I'm waiting for the press conference because I'm really worried about TOKIO's future.

Reading the rest of translation of his statement so far, sounds like they all want to face the consequences with him :/. I'd say if they wanna have any chance to salvage the group, it's best to remove him. But  if they're willing to stick by him then Idk if they'll be saved or not . Perhaps it's best to let them go idk.

[--Mari--]

I feel bad for the rest of the members. Btw is anyone watching the press conference right now?

[tokpopandbeyond]

I understand that Johnny's is trying to do damage control but why Taichi should apologize for somebody else? How is this the band's fault?

[Misa]

Yes, this is such a shame for them. I know this is how the world works and all, but I really feel for them :(

 

yeah...they don't deserve this

yeah.

 

He said that he wants to return to TOKIO, after what he did...this is not the time to say that.

 

Also, J&A lawyer announced that Yamaguchi will be put under house arrest for indefinite period.

 

This is a mess.

Yikes. Thats a stupid thing to say because the members already said that they can't forgive him.

Taichi gave several statements to different media outlets. He had to apologize in 10+ different shows from the NHK morning news up until the 6PM news. It must've really weighed on him, he was even crying on several of the shows saying he wouldn't want his own daughter to have to go through something like that.

he had to apologise in 10+ shows  thats awful he hasn't done anything, i get that JE is trying to make it clear that the rest of tokio do not agree with Yamaguchis actions but having to apologise in 10+ shows for something your group member did is brutal.
