ryo leaves news, toma replaces?! wtf?
i can't stop. i must continue on about this...bc no matter how long i think about...
i'm still mad nonetheless.
okay so i dont know if this is true or what...
but a NewS fan friend was crying and going crazy...
so i'm sort of like "EH?!"
but so it goes...
ryo will quit NewS as of 1/1/08
and startin 1/1/08 toma will replace NewS.
uchi will officially announce that he is quitting NewS...
will go back to kanjani in 04/08
that's what i heard in between sobs.
supposedly there is an article about this that was released today?
(wait the uchi stuff wasn't in the article)
i can't and will not go searching for it.
for all i know it's some fucked up uwasa mag...
anyway...now to include my thoughts aside from "omfg wtf fuck you no i hate this etc"
first off...there are two sides to the toma & ryo things.
we can be positive and thing 'ah better for ryo he's been so busy anyway.'
but then if you think of it from a FANS perspective...
if you were a NewS fan from the start...
i can't think how devastating it would be to lose a member...
and then toma...you could see it as "omg toma is finally debuting!"
or you can be like me and think...toma deserves more. he deserves SO MUCH MORE.
he deserves to come out with a single on the first day and see his name/group on the #1 spot
he deserves to start from a beginning...to have his own history.
not the history of some member he replaced.
not to mention there WILL BE FANS that are going to always think of him as a mere "replacement"
that is just WRONG for toma. WRONG.
i can see toma only taking this 2 ways...
thankful that he is debuting and lowering his standards for how much he's really worth bc he's that sweet...
or to go with it because he has no other choice.
this isn't fucking morning musume!
"switch the johnny's!"
negative! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
you don't just take a group and change members...
they are a management company that manages idols..
if they are aware of the mentality of fans and and their idols...
they they will realize this is a mistake. this will do NOBODY any good.
whatever...i can sort of see them taking ryo out of news...and putting him in kanjani only.
but then why are you trying to replace him?
does johnny's think that they can take out 1 popular member...
stick toma and there and suddenly all the NewS fans will be appeased with the tomaPi love?
"yamapi can't bait everyone on his own...not without ryo...lets shove in toma, its not like we were ever going to debut him anyway!"
. . .
WRONG WRONG WRONG!
the other thing...not that i'm a news fan...
and dont get me wrong i dont really hate anyone in news...
if i had to choose i would pick news over kattun, anyday x:
to me that group seems to have a lot of...bad luck.
and from an outsiders point of view...it might be..
"they are better off breaking up."
but then i dont know...as a fan of another johnny's group...
i can understand how painful and insulting that would be to hear.
i would NEVER say that to my news friends...
bc they would never say that about arashi to me...if i were in their situation.
as a fellow fan you should know how they feel better than anyone else.
johnny's needs to need to learn how to push the not so popular members..
instead of relying on 1 or 2 members to bait in fans and then convert.
they should push with tegomasu...
do something with shige...
shige has so much potential to be a hottie icon
do something with the other members instead of trying to shove toma in there.
toma does NOT belong in this group.
toma belongs with...hasejun or something.
isn't it about time we have a new duo?
kinki and t&t...
we need a toma&jun something.
call them like ... too old to be debuting.
totbd...i dont know.
Comments
when i read the previous post you had about this, i freaked out. i wholeheartedly admit that i am a NewS fan and i don't think that this is right equally for ryo and toma. and i am also a big ryo fan.. then i read some of the previous comments in your post that said "News would be better breaking off.." which is very very painful for me as a fan. and i said "why are some arashi fans being so mean to other JE groups' fans?" (i am not generalizing ALL arashi fans) but reading this new post of yours, i am thankful to you that you also take the side of NewS fans.
but still this news (or rumor) is making me feel so mad. NewS should remain as NewS with all the members of it till the end. and toma (who i love as well) should debut with a new group. he has proven a lot and has stayed as a junior for so many years, and it is very unfair for him to just be inserted in NewS... this is so wrong.
i'm glad you deleted the previous entry because it encourages NewS bashing. As a NewS fan, I can't stand it.
I don't like this anymore than any Toma fan does. I absolutely CANNOT imagine anyone leaving at all!!!!! And I agree that Johnny's need to develop the members in NewS. Keikei can totally host a programme, Shige can be the residential dorama hunk, TegoMass can continue with their food title singles and Pi, well he can continue to be Pi, what with the opportunities coming his way. And Kusa, can you please come back so that the number of people who can actually sing will be upped.
And Toma needs to debut with all the craze and hype. WTF. He's been in the jimusho for more than 10 years they CANNOT do this to him.
I DO think Ryo and Uchi belongs to K8 more than they ever will be in NewS. At least Ryo isn't mean to anyone in K8. lol But I hate it that the company think they can just switch members whenever they like.
And hello, can we please discuss the potential loss of RyoTe? OMGGGGGGGGGGG
Lastly, if you were to ever leave NewS, Ryo, I will so miss your Shige insults. <3.
but then in kanjani...they all have kansai attitude and so now ryo cannot compete with like...hina. ahahha x: (i love kanjani)
but yea...i dont know...this just seems wrong in every way.
i agree with the pushing of other members. especially with News. i always hear about yamashita and ryo. they're great and all, but seriously, theres some talented people in that group. i also think that shige is someone they should push. i've always liked him. honestly, this has to be a really awful rumor. the whole musical-idol chair thing is not sitting well with me. it's just all bad for everyone.
ah... toma though. really bad if he debuts with them. it just, just... just doesn't sit right! lol. i'm a fairly new fan and even I know it's bad decision-making on JE's part. it it ends up being true.
definately uwasa. def. also, wheres info about kusano in all this? 0_o
*hugs toma & kazama*
Oops... I mean aishoni.
I agree with you. this is wrong. I admit I'm not much of a NewS fan or Toma fan... [I was actually introduced to JE because of Arashi] but whatever group it is, replacing a member is just.. wrong. They can't!!!! as you said, Toma deserves more. And what will NewS and their fans think? And the Toma fans too. They cant have the mentality that Toma is just a replacement.
Note to Johnny's: FANS DO NOT APPROVE!!!
oh gosh so this is official information then? not just a stupid rumour? i wish it was though. it's heartbreaking enough losing uchi and kusano. if we never see ryo's face among NewS members again...
but why? was it johnny's decision or did ryo say he wanted to quit NewS himself? and if uchi rejoins Kanjani8, will Kusano rejoin NewS?
i'm glad Toma is debuting too, but i don't want him stuck in NewS as ryo's replacement either... gosh this is horrible
Poor NewS. about Ryo, part of me think this is good since I still don`t know how in the world someone can be in 2 very popular Johnnys groups at the same time and not collapse yet. His schedule must be terrifying. But even now I can hear fan`s hearts are breaking all over the place.
I really hope the best solution for NewS, Kanjani and Toma-kun. Johnny-san, this is the time to show your miracle decision!!!
NANI?!!!!
First I find out that Ryo has been going blonde...
and now I find out that he's leaving!!!!
T_T
I don't hate Toma ( I actually adore him) but NewS? Please... onegai.... don't do this... (*looks at NewS 'Touch' CD and sighs*)
Yes.. I strongly agree that Toma should debut in new group.....
Since Kinki kids reach their 10th anniversity... and T & T is almost 4 years.. is it time to have another lovely duo group debut ??
I am searching hard on the web to find out WHY WHY WHY Johnnys san wont let Toma debut ?? with wrong timing ?? or because they reject the offer ??
Anyone hear of anything.. that why the young one / junior debut .. whereas Toma and 4 Tops.. ( except Yamapi ) still consider Junior ???
They dont even put in group .. ( please correct me if i am wrong ) I am not dare to say I understand the Johnny's history.. ;
I just cant figure it out that Debut Toma = get profit for the company .
When I first saw your post (the rant one that you deleted), before I read it all I got really excited. I was like, Ooh! I can see more of this Toma?! So soon after just hearing about him! Like you said here...
...that's what I thought at first. But then, I kept reading and I saw what you were saying. and it made me sad!!
I understand your points and agree with them now, even more so since you organized them like so in this second post. I want to get to know Toma more, and for him to experience those things!! I hope it's just a rumor ;-; (sob)
i always like Toma, i dun mind his joining NEWS but why dont JE put him in NEWS at the 1st place? i think he deserve more than this..i think he deserve to debuting with Kazama and Hasejun or maybe add some more ppl from Jr, many Jrs have talent for debuting! replacement sounds like...very mean to me..specially for Toma.
lets just wait and see what happen ne, i just hope its not true.
I seriously doubt that's true.
But i guess we have to wait and see... and hope its not true....
sigh! aft reading everyone's comments, i really have to agree.. my heart really goes out to toma. he's been in JE for the longest time and has sacrificed soo much and now theyre doing this slipshot thing to him and stuffing him in NewS?! he's waited too long and lost too much...sigh i do agree tt NewS is a good-looking n talented grp thats daunted with the worst luck ever!! sighhhh
all we can do is hope n pray tt Johnny makes a proper just decision. but then again, all he thinks abt is marketing the boys to make money. so we'll get to see his "wise" decisions..
I hope this is uwasa... ç.ç
*SIGH*
You know I just totally agree with you on everything.
I hope remour is remour , anyway I'm NewS's fan and Toma's fan but I don't want Toma debut like this T______T . Yeah.... I want to say "Toma is finally debuting" but.......orz
Wait and see for this and hope it's not true.......
But If Toma joins then, I'm actually going to buy stuff from NewS, just because Toma is there ^_^;;
But I rather like it more if Toma was in a duo or by himself. I'm not exactly fancied with the idea of him in a group @_@
I know this late and all but.. I really can't imagine Toma in News, Toma's cute, funny and a good performer but his image doesn't fit news..for me that is. I really can't explain it.. And I'm just a new News fan, and I became a fan of news because of Ryo!!
[late but i just read this]
wth?! i'll admit im a big news fan but my favorite thing about them isnt even their songs. its the way the members interact with each other. they've already been through so much and they come out of everything smiling and hoping for better. the six people who are in news right now have built up such a close relationship already especially since the suspensions. its not fair to them to break it up and stick someone completely new in there. the member ai would be totally disrupted.
its also totally unfair to toma because he deserves so much more, after waiting to debut for like forever. he shouldnt just be a replacement because not only is that degrading for him, it might also mean the loss of potential fans in only because he "broke up news"
gahh sorry of the LATE rant.
