Again, another member letting us down

sunako_yueYesterday, the first time I've read the news, I was like "wait, what? are you kidding me? Junno wouldn't do that". Turned out, it was true. I was devastated. Why is this kind of thing keep happening to KAT-TUN? Was all Johnny's fault for forming a group were all the members -almost all the members- hated each other? Today, when I woke up, I was hoping it was all a bad dream. Just my luck, it wasn't. And not only I am still sad, but I am also mad as hell.
Yes, I am mad at Junno. I don't think I will ever hate him -he is just too kind, down to earth, and cute to be hated- but at this point, I am very disappointed at him. To do that just 2 years after the Koki Incident happened! Makes me wonder a lot of things. 1) if he truly loves his fans (NO, HE DOESN'T!). His decision to make this move is very selfish. Not only we fans had to go through TWO members leaving, in shady circumstances, but we have to see the members left apologizing every time they go to a TV show (since Kame and Maru are the members that are more on TV, they are the one that have to endure it... not only when Koki left, but also now that Junno is leaving). If they, for some miraculous reason, are not disbanding, we will have to hear and see -AGAIN- the members left trying to assure fans that they are OK, better than ever, still together, going strong, etc. Happened when Jin left, happened when Koki left. How on Earth are we fans going to believe that? As much as KAT-TUN want to please their fans, they can't. Not at this point. And again they will have to go through jokes and teasing (the kind that Nakai makes, Voice of Heaven makes)? And again they will have to answer painful question in TV shows (like Kame did in Arashi ni Shiyagare, or whenever they talk in SCP)? Did Junno think about this beforehand? Maybe, but he did it anyway.
2) When KAT-TUN was a guest in Utaban the day after their debut, they were asked if they saw themselves in that group in 10 years. Only 4 of them answered yes. When Koki was fired, I thought that him and Jin were the ones that did not see themselves in KAT-TUN in 10 years. Now I see that maybe I was wrong. No doubt one of them was Jin, but makes me wonder now if the 2nd one was Junno? Because his reason for leaving KAT-TUN was that he was turning 30, blah blah, blah. So he did not see himself as an Idol at 30, was that his thinking 10 years ago as well? And I have always felt that the members that loved KAT-TUN the most were Maru, Kame and Koki. True, Koki was not very professional when he did what he did, but he loved KAT-TUN. Did Junno? I don't think so. You can see how much an Idol loves his group in all he gives up, in all painful things he goes thru and no matter what, still keeps going. I have several examples, but I won't point them out since I will need to mention other Johnny groups, and I don't want to compare. Specially because the other groups are always going strong, without a problem fans know of (doesn't matter if they have issues behind doors), and I always envy these groups, while we fans of KAT-TUN have to suffer so much.
I will support KAT-TUN no matter what, whatever they decide. Only that at this point, and maybe because things are still fresh, I prefer they disband instead of still suffering. No, I am kidding, I don't want them to. I will cry -again- if it happens.
Maybe not. The three of them deserve better, but what will happen to Ueda? I can see him quitting in a couple of years anyway (sorry Ueda, but looks like you love boxing more thatn you do KAT-TUN!) And then what? would it be "Kame and Maru"? Argh, I just can't anymore :(
