Now the good news is down.

*This is a ranting about Nakayama Yuma and Johnny Kitagawa*
To start it off, I don't really dislike or like Yuma, but i DO hate how Johnny is pushing him into the spot light and at the same time pushing others off the spotlight.
(but I do think he don't have the best face)
Johnnys desperate to groom Nakayama Yuma into Next Big Thing, TV Stations are very afraid (read this to understand the whole story)
Remember my rants about Kohaku, the prestigious event. Yup, it is related to that.

"Johnnys idol group NYC Boys is set to make its debut appearance, which has started to worry the various TV stations."
So now that NYC is going to NOT be just a temporary unit, it is going to debut. WHAT NOW? Yamada and Chinen is going to be like Ryo(from NEWS) and be in 2 groups?! And say Bye-Bye to HSJ since they are currently being ignore?

"Nakayama Yuma (15) of NYC boys is seen to be The One that Johnny Kitagawa (78) wants to groom."
WANTS TO GROOM....I can't help but to think that could Yuma be related to Johnny in one way or another?

"Regarding NHK's wish to have Arashi appear at Kouhaku this time, it's been rumored that Johnnys jimusho agreed to let Arashi appear on the condition that NHK must let NYC boys appear as well. It can clearly be seen that Johnnys jimusho is going all out to push Nakayama Yuma into the spotlight."
I heard about this rumor as well, but chose to not believe it. But having seen this, I think it is TRUE.
In other words, Johnny is like making a deal with NHK, "either you take it or leave it". And using Arashi just so that he can get his dear Yuma inside.

"Nakayama currently still does not possess the popularity needed to achieve decent viewership ratings. The viewership ratings for the summer season drama "Koishite Akuma ~Vampire Boy~", in which he had the lead role, never soared above 10% and was a total failure with just an average of 6.6% viewership, making it the lowest-rated drama ever to air in Fuji TV's Tuesday 10pm slot."
Not even wanting to wait of dear Yuma to develop his damn skills in acting, he demanding TV station to let Yuma be in the lead role.

"There are no TV stations in this industry who could say 'no' to Johnnys jimusho, the company which yields massive influence in the entertainment industry."
I never though about it in this way before. But this is TRUE if you think about it. JE is a powerful Entertainment industry. With all the famous band they have develop, TV Station would want to have a good relationship with him just to get the boys appear in their station show.

"To solve this problem, there is no other way but to make sure Nakayama becomes a Big Star."
AND? Let Johnny continued to do as he like? Abusing his damn power? They should do something before things get out of hand.
A big start without supporter? How can he become a star to began with when he can't even act?! For him to become a Big Star will take years. It is NOT AN OVERNIGHT THING.

Johnny properly didn't know how Arashi reach where they are now. Thinking that by making demands, he can create another Big Star in a short time.
Arashi, took 10 freaking years to where they are now. They go through all kind of thing all these years to be where they are now. They worked SUPER hard to be where they are now.
THERE IS NO SHORT CUT IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY WORLD. It all depend on hard work.

Maybe this is the reason i prefer older groups, Arashi(10yrs) and NEWS(6yrs) for example. Both group when to a lot. NEWS, they started off as a 9 member, to a 8 member and now a 6member band. They went on a 1year hiatus due to the incident of 2member and they were back, with stronger bonds.

And I didn't forget about HSJ, it is just that they are still young and still need lots of years and hard work to from a stronger bond, especially since they're a 10 member band.

I hate Johnny in some way and the way he did some things. He is abusing his power, just to make Yuma the next Big Star without having him work his ass off or even have time to from strong bonds with his band mate.

"There are no TV stations in this industry who could say 'no' to Johnnys jimusho, the company which yields massive influence in the entertainment industry."
Quoting this again. This make me think about the new drama that Kame, Tegoshi and Uchi is going to appear in. Is it another "deal" with Johnny" Another "either take it or leave it?" To have kame in it, they must also take in Tegoshi and Uchi?
Seriously, I'm starting to doubt things that is happening or happened.
