sunako_yueThe day I was waiting has arrived. Akanishi is no longer a Johnny.
When Koki was kicked out of JE, one of the things that made me angry the most has been that he was kicked out before Akanishi. It was very unfair, considering Akanishi's scandals vs. Koki's scandals. Besides, Akanishi has not been doing well in the entertainment business, unlike Koki, whose rap is essential for KAT-TUN's songs (I still cannot listen to Real Face without shedding some tears).
I've read that some fans are happy because JE is strict with their rules, and Akanishi can finally be free. That JE has not supported his career like he deserves. I disagree in both aspects.
First, every company has it rules to follow. I agree that some JE rules are stupid. But if he has a contract with the company, he has to follow them. Even Koki admitted that. Considering than Japan is so strict with anything, these rules are almost understandable. We have to understand that "scandals" for them are a joke for us (like Kusanagi's... huge scandal, but if any Hollywood star does it, it would not be so huge). And Akanishi was proud of not following their rules. Why not get out of the company then? He stated several times that he did not want to be like most idols (or something like that). Fine, don't be, but at least get out of the company before being so disrespectful, to the company and to their members.
Second, about JE not being supportive with his career. What else do they have to do? They let him leave the band to pursue his solo career, they supported with his concerts in USA... And I am sorry, but if we are talking about not being supportive, bands like K8 or NewS deserve more than this guy, and they get almost nothing.
So when I've read yesterday that on February 28th his contract with JE has ended, the first thought in my mind was "Finally, thank you".
Even if I do not stand this guy, I do feel sad. Mainly because it is the 2nd ex-KAT-TUN member in a few months to leave the jimusho. Again KAT-TUN will have to endure questions about the issue in interviews. Again about the same guy. And to think that once they were so popular, up there with Arashi and SMAP.
I wonder what the other Johnnys think about this, especially those who spent so much time with KAT-TUN, like K8 and NewS, and T&T and Kinki Kids....
