I am not made out for this!!!!

Honestly, I don't know how I can be this affected. It's heart wrenching reading people piss on what I strongly believe to be an at least an above-average episode and not so shabby of a start. My heart has been hanging half way out of my chest since last night. Got 4 hours of sleep. And like a true DoM I sought out the abuse all day. Why do I ( Read more... )

Sorry to come here out of the blue... but I added your journal to my flist list and this popped out in my flist reading...

I am a bit confused? What you read were bad things about L7 first episode? Seriously? In Japanese websites or English written websites? I thought people had liked it. I don't have complains about the episode at all... so I am surprised if that is what you meant. I would love if you could tell me a little bit more about it.

Lately, I find that some fans love to bash the boys and their work, don't really know why...

Honestly I don't maintain a journal (which is obvious) so didn't mean to dump my emotional rant on you. It was just at the end of a long day, and I had 10 minutes of unanticipated wait between meetings ( ... )

Oh, no, don't worry. Your post has been really informative and I love to know more about what the fandom is outside the English-spoken one. I know 2ch but I have never been there since my Japanese is not that good... I do know some Chinese places but didn't know the one you mention. However for my sanity I think I will restrain myself for going there too much... I mean I can't handle the boys being treated bad for their own fans. I can't understand that if you like somebody you have to trash them around... if they make you happy, why are you complaining ( ... )

I am relieved that you were not offended or bothered by my rant. I am seriously a very sane and logical person but when it comes to Jun...

I agree fully with you. The unfair/unrealistic expectation. And yes, Taiga is absolutely adorable. And yes, refrain from stepping into the darker corner of the fandom. I regret it very much.

In a happier note, he was reportedly in good spirit during today's VS shooting. (But my heart hurts imagining him putting on a brave face for the sake of others...I really need to stop this DoM tendency).

And outside of Johnny's, it's also a blood bath. 1) NNK's fans don't think she should have lent her name to this. 16.3% is basically the lowest opening episode for her (either in a lead, support, or a cameo like HanaDan). Now her golden records are tarnished by the rating poison (yes, some call him that) 2) Takeuchi Yuko fans feel vindicated. Strawberry Night (surprisingly, to me) came out on top and, apparently, she took much of the hit for the ""failure"" that was NatsuNiji from some Jun fans. And now, lookie here! What did we say? It was MatsuJun's fault after all! 3) Eita - Eita fans were not happy that he went on supporting role in his, since he had been mostly in lead roles. And last night, "Eita" was trending #1, about double of the treading of "Matsujun".... It goes on and on and on ( ... )

Yes I am still reading and as I say it's dreadfully fascinating the non English spoken fandom... It's normal idols are so cautious in Japan and Asia in general... they don't allow even the slightest wrong move... Wow! o.O' Still, I feel the same you do about Jun. I don't think is fair and I don't like that they are pointing the finger just to him as the one to blame...

You confirmed what I thought Takeuchi Yuko and Eita fans thought/think... Again, I don't think it's fair to Matsujun. He is a professional and he is good at what he does... :(
