I have to disagree!

While just casually looking thru all the wota blogs,

i came across a comment which i felt was unjustified and untrue about Arashi..

you see, they were quite unhappy coz of the late announcement on which AKB48 members who were coming to town and when it was revealed that most of the ones coming are not the top members, many wanted to sell their tickets.

 

So this wota made a comment to justify why some sold their tickets after finding out.

He said that they felt cheated coz their favourite member is not appearing and hence there should not be a reason why they should be there...

I know he said to defend those who are coming into Singapore to watch them...

But then! the comment came..

"To explain it from another perspective, imagine if 2 members of Arashi were coming but you don’t know who. Arashi tickets easily go for up to $2000 dollars but in this case lets say you purchase one for a fraction of that price. Matsumoto Jun, Ohno Satoshi and Ninomiya Kazunari do not come."

 

Dude..seriously..it's a wrong group to compare with..

unlike your dearies..for us, once an Arashi fan, always be an Arashi fan.

Yes, we have our fav..but ultimately, we love the WHOLE package.

If Nino were to come to Singapore for some event...to represent the group or something, I would still go. You can bet my money on that!!

The whole ranting thg just shows one thing. I am glad to be in the fandom where people are generally unified to support all members despite having favourites!

Hi, I saw a reply to this post on my dashboard, I hope you don't mind me commenting :)

I know at least in the US I saw where fans flew across the country to see Matsujun at USC, Sho at Yatterman premiere and in Vancouver (although that was really not the best situation, fangirls acting out in the airport). I think that the chances of Arashi as a group appearing anywhere outside of Asia are slim so I expect the fans to try to catch a glimpse of the members as they do solo appearances, etc.

AKB groups are all made up of members who are contstantly voted up and down by their wota fans based on their popularity, am I correct? If that is the case, then I can see why the wotas get invested into one or two girls instead of the entire herd, haha.

I totally agree with you! With Arashi, I love every memember so much! even if I have Jun as my ichiban. This doesn't happen with other groups as KAT-TUN for example... This is why Arashi is so special!!!! ^O^

Ridiculous!
HOw can he compare them n EVEN how can he say that?!
Arashi is one package. I and I'm pretty sure almost all Arashi fans would agree that. Even if there's just one member comes to my country for whatever promo, I would still love to come to greet him. In Arashi, my ichiban is the GoNin. I'm pretty sure too, fans love all of them. Jun-kun also said in MS, that mostly fans said they like these 5 when they're together, coz the atmosphere is very Arashi.
I'm pity to akb, pretty sure there's some fans who don't like some members n only want to see his idol, just like above case. Pity.

And, to siti, I'm following you ^^, hope you don't mind, I found your post through karen-chan hreehehe, and when I read your post, can't help to post my anxious feeling to that guy. Dang. He doesn't know what he'a talking apparently. A whole different idoling.
