Totally agree. But imo Iijima doesn't manage any good groups, and I don't want KAT-TUN in that faction... Whatever Julie is trying to do, I still think KAT-TUN will work their way around it and keep their rockish image the best they can.
Secret 03 anyone, past or present, who work hard on anything fandom related have all my respect and gratitude. extra credit to subbers where english is not your native language!!! you guys really rock!!
Indeed. It seems that the the JE fandom has died. It's pretty hard to find anything subbed nowadays as compared to how it was three years ago. And the existing subbing community, some of them are not open to new members anymore :/
this this this plus the ones that do accept members want you to right a mini essay on following rules and "tell us about yourself!~" crap like i don't care i follow rules like not uploading/reposting cuz i'm not an idiot but i don't want to have to put on a fake smile and talk about myself to someone who doesn't care and suck up just to get in the comm >_< plus they can "reject you for any reason" like wat? i sucked up to you and you could still reject me? what the hell kinda fascist comm are you running lol you make subs, great, but to act all high and mighty...>_< people should sub for the love and health of the fandom not for their ego or whatever....
I think a large part of this is that the raw files which are available now are just too ridiculously huge. It's gotten to the point where if I can't catch it on youku or tudou I just won't watch it, because 700MB for a 25 minute show I used to get in 350 max? I just don't have the storage space for all of them =\
I don't think that this is entirely a problem with them performing live or a slight. I think the Michi/Julie fights have a slightly larger role to play. Have you not noticed also that Arashi does not perform during Uta no Natsu Matsuri either? It may be that the SMAP presence is too much for Julie to stomach, and that she prefers to have them put in a token performance for the sake of the fans, rather than miss out entirely.
Equally, on Best Artist, and other NTV programmes, the SMAP presence is non existent. This is just my opinion though, but it would seem that the variety/music aspect of Fuji TV is a SMAP thing, and that NTV is on the Julie camp. So more Julie-groups appear there, while the reverse is true for Fuji.
Again, all this is just speculation on my part, so please feel free to disagree with me ^^.
Michi / Julie "conflict" is just craps... Arashi and SMAP not interacting as often as some would like is only due to their timetable. It's even hard for the members to do all their shows altogether within a group....
The only band that never went to Utaban wasn't Arashi, it was TOKIO.....
I agree that calling it a faction is pushing it, without any information, other than gossip, which would suggest that. But based just on this things I've seen over the last few years, the J&A groups which appear on NTV and Fuji are different, and there is little, if not NO intermingling.
Even if you do say Tokio, and not Arashi, this was still some years ago, when this open rift was not as prominent?
