Yeah it's a big deal in Johnnys' context

Granted that Yamapi & ex SMAP KimuTaku have Weibo accounts but not everyone knows how to read Mandarin

And KimuTaku said that he hired a translator to translate Japanese to Mandarin contents for his Weibo posts

Only when Johnnys leave J&A such as ex ONE OK ROCK's TAKA , ex KAT-TUN's Akanishi Jin , Tanaka Koki , ex SMAP's Kusanagi , Shingo & Goro then they're free to open SNS

So for Yamapi to be able to do that while still being part of J&A , it's unheard of

Johnnys lose out so much over the last decade or so & their mentality towards digital related promo makes no sense in this era

Well at least it's better late than never

And with regards to this year's a-nation , I think avex is still finalising details but if this year there's no Tokyo dates , that would be just weird on every level
