The Morimoto incident

I saw articles pop up on arama and other random places about an HSJ member being ‘exiled’. I’m not really familiar with a group that’s that young, but eh… did I understand correctly the 16 yr old kid just got thrown out of the group because he lit a cigarette?

:smug:

So Johnny is getting stricter these days. Guys from the older groups were caught on cam too when they were younger (for way worse). Why is this one special? Times have changed indeed, to insanity and beyond. A reprimand would have been enough, or would you throw your 16 yr old kid on the street for lighting up? If the answer is no, it’s totally exaggerated and hypocritical. And when it comes to reputation damage when it comes to being a Johnny, hell, I’d think fangirls would prefer to see him light one instead of worse possibilities;)

True, of course I’m more tolerant because I light up myself. lol. I wouldn’t want to be 16 years old today. It sucks. Used to be much more fun. Morimoto-kun, this ones for you xD.

Yellow Gold review

So I decided to go watch Yellow Gold. I knew Jin was into this whole “robo/electro” thing, so it definitely has the potential for me to like it because I’m heavily into industrial metal. A lot of thought has been put into the stage/ lighting and stuff. That’s good, because it wouldn’t hold up without it. By the time I ended up with a song called “It’s a party clap clap clap” I was ready for a change in approach. Oh, empty droid song.

Thankfully the entire show is not like that.

Paparats: the only song with heart? No, there’s more songs he gives his all to perform. When he does exactly that, it totally has potential. It’s not equal every song though. Definitely something to work on. I’ve also seen better performances of Love Juice, during which the pink flaming pants was bulged up near the front. Nice prop. He’ll never get rid of the eggplant jokes this way though. XD.

Then the “Yeaaa ooo” song comes along. It’s quite cute, but… I’d so be tempted to yell “Noo hoo” even if I don’t mean it. I think it’s the cuteness factor at fault for that.

There’s a lot of attention given to Jin’s “crew” throughout the entire concert and I believe the interview establishes that even more. I’ll be pretty honest: nobody cares. It’s good he found a good dance crew, but the over-infatuation generally doesn’t mean much to the wider audience.

The ending was a bit anti-climax.

I’d say all-in-all pretty impressive concert, but indeed he’s not ready to hold it up by himself without his dance crew or the amount of work done on the stage/ lighting. I think if he surpasses that, he’ll go a long way.
