I think I need to state a few things before I start with this post.

• First off, don't be offended! While there will be a few insults they aren't directed at anyone personal, neither groups nor communities nor members or anything! It's simply my opinion but I'm not writing this because I'm bored and want to bash you - keep that in mind!

Hi, I stumbled across your entry while browsing kattunlove's friends page, and the title of your post grabbed my attention. "JE fandom creeps me out". That's exactly what I've been thinking every day of my 2 years in the fandom

I'd like to thank you first for that long comment, it was a pleasure to read ^^ Overall I agree with your post but there are a few things I think I need to clarify a bit.

No never have for the sole reason you just mentioned. Well how do I know it would be like this? Jade warned me, more or less. She kinda experienced this with another band so we're both a bit cautious when it comes to this and your comment just proves our point further (sadly!)
Yes, I can pause things I like. I pause my hobbies and pleasant but not necessary things (like drawing, making cakes, whatever...) when I need time for more important things (work, studies...).
I may have chosen the wrong word there, but I'm sure you still like your hobbies even when you don't have time for them. What I meant was more along the lines of "oh I don't like BandX or w/e hobby now and I do as I'd never heard of it! But 4 weeks later I'm

Do you know a band called UVERworld? You reference for fandom comparison is m.o.v.e, mine is UVERworld. I discovered them when they debuted and immediately became a fan. I joined their 1st and the 2nd English-speaking fan forum, and even if it soon turned fangirlish, rules were still sensible and people had common sense! Well actually the 1st forum didn't even have rules, people just used common sense and the forum worked smoothly (until it got really too big and some rules became necessary).

To think that I lost interest in their music (they improved a lot technically over years, but their music no longer have the same taste... sob sob) to fall for KAT-TUN XD

I may be mistaken but all those "leaving/
