Oh. Right, Ryo and Yamapi’s exit announcement from News was 4 years ago. Just got reminded because I saw a blog post about it on Twitter.
I can’t speak for every NEWS fans, but I think most of us understood Ryô’s choice (personal hurt feelings aside at the moment of the announcement lol) and hold no grudge. Ryô’s home has always been Kanjani. He certainly had some emotional attachment to NEWS, but the double work wasn’t a “normal” situation to begin with. Ryô’s never been my favorite but I like him a lot and I’m glad he could choose at last ! We never had the side of the story from ryô and yamapi’s pov unfortunatly, but my personal understanding of all of it is that Yamapi wanted to leave NEWS, and Ryô made the right choice not to stay stuck within his least fav group (? xD). 5nin!NEWS would have been so awkward lmao pretty unbalanced. It’s sad some fans may still have mixed feelings about it.
I think you totally have the right to “celebrate” this day, as long it’s respectful towards other fans =)
