I support/listen to almost everyone in Johnny's & Associates and yeah times like these I'm also frustrated as well
I've seen many countless times where shrewd brutal marketing from Johnny-san that just knocks the competition without any questions asked
Most if not all the time I have a love/hate relationship with Johnny's . Sometimes some of the stuff released ain't #1 worthy to me but just because they're Johnny's , they will still have an unfair advantage over almost everyone ... except for AKB48 :x
And for the record , I do feel that ARASHI deserved the success they've received as just like Namie not everyone's lucky to have a 2nd chance in surged if not higher popularity than they used to have . Only thing's that it wouldn't hurt for them to sing live for a change
