Jin's Hiatus
((`Fangirl Talk`))October 12 was my worst day, the announcement of Akanishi Jin's hiatus, published in Nihon newspaper and not tabloids. The reason stated was to study abroad. So many speculations made before the official statement was released. Of course I got all this information from a community I belonged, KATTUNLOVE. KAT-TUN is indeed love so why Jin? That was my reaction at first when this sudden chaos started. Sigh, if only he knows that he have a large fan based from all over the world. I hoped it wasn't true but the official statement from the Jimusho proved itt o be right.
Akanishi Jin. Hiatus. Study Abroad. 6 months (Probably more).But then kind people translated KAT-TUN comments on their J-Webs. Yeah, I'm not in Japan nor do I know how to speak, read or write Japanese! But I'd like to learn one day. Back to the topic, I was still not convinced after reading those translated comments. Somehow I doubted the whole situation. Was Akanishi Jin really going to study abroad? Was there other reasons that we, fans don't know? Yes, I felt better but still I have those doubts in my heart.
The Press ConSomeone kind made a rough translation, and I watched the clip, Akanishi Jin facing the press, with band members Nakamaru and Taguchi coming in later. I felt relieved nevertheless that the study abroad thingy is indeed true. Probably there are still rumours going on but I chose not to believe them. I choose to believe Akanishi, and KAT-TUN members. I believe them. And god, this is the first time I actually cried over an idol. I'm only a 10 month old JE fan, maybe that is the reason. I wasn't a fan when Uchi and Kusano was suspended, I became a NEWS fan just recently. Basically the press con made me believe.
Mixed FeelingsI am sad that I won't get to see Jin performing for the next 6 months. Please, hopefully it's lesser than that. A part of me is angry over his decision, that he was rather selfish to go study abroad at their peak of fame. The rest of the KAT-TUN members would be badly affected by it. Bcoz I've heard some of the fans are not gonna buy their upcoming single, Pure One juz bcoz Jin is not in it. But reading KAT-TUN comments, I understood. And I'm proud of him, he did what he wanted to do. To study linguistic abroad. All we can do is to support him, as well as the other members. I'm gonna miss you, Jin! Please study hard!
"I want him to bring what that cannot be found in Japan back to KAT-TUN." -Nakamaru-We're all gonna wait for you. So next year, please don't disappoint us! Patiently waiting for your return!! -chuu-
