Kamenashi's comment on Nishikido-san and YamaPi withdrawal

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

On October 14th, KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya attended a press conference for his drama, “Yokai Ningen Bem“, where he was asked for his thoughts on Yamashita Tomohisa and Nishikido Ryo’s withdrawal from NEWS.

Commenting on Yamashita Tomohisa, he revealed, “During work, he would say things like, ‘I have to do things this way’, so I’m not really surprised about this outcome. My feelings are half-and-half.” Since Kamenashi himself has experienced a member leaving his group, he calmly commented, “If it’s what the members decide themselves, I think that’s fine.”

Kamenashi continued, “It’s not my own group, so I can’t really say anything… but they’ve been active for many years, so they should have a bond that you can’t see. If everyone sincerely believed each other, then I think that would be the answer.” Regarding his own group, he stated, “I don’t feel like we’re the ones left behind, nor do I think it’s right or wrong. We each have a life of our own.”

Kamenashi shared that he hasn’t been in touch with Yamashita since he left the group. “Even if we meet, I don’t think we’ll talk about that,” he said. He also flatly dismissed the rumors about his own withdrawal, saying, “Not at all.”

so they should have a bond that you can’t see

What does that even mean
Should've gone with 'no comment' tbh

I guess Johnny's member were asked to aswer as vaguely as possible.
Cause this is just filled with emptiness.
But regarding your quote, I'm assuming he was talking about the remaining members

[kotokochan.livejournal.com]

I think he didn't mean that in bad way.

"We each have a life of our own.” That's it. Accept their decisions, because it's THEIR lifes.

but they share their lives with us, they want us to support them, so how can we support them if they are doing things that we hate !!!!!
everyone gets involve within the entertainment means that they have to make people happy hence they will get more money and ppl will love them and support them
but if every celebrity just do what ever he wants, then the audience opinion will not gets the respect it should have.
I think thats why yamapi will lose a big share of his fans !

I didn't know he commented on that, well very nicely said Kame ♥

[yuchen85.livejournal.com]

A "No comment" comment would be better in my opionion.
even if kame knows how it is when a member left but i find it unnecessary to bringt this up. he has nothing do to with this -.-"

[icexsnow.livejournal.com]

Pissed at the reporters. They shouldn't have asked Kame that when he doesn't have anything to do with the issue! I know it's "hot news" right now but are they going to ask that to every JE idol in any conference :(

But I think Kame answered it well considering the situation.

[pikapika2.livejournal.com]

yeah kame's being polite answering their questions even if it has nothing to do with him at all.

[katrinasacay.livejournal.com]

media is being a troll asking anyone they like. i think they have also bugged uchi. :|

[nands-kisa.livejournal.com]

''are they going to ask that to every JE idol in any conference :(''
I believe so xD

[super-color.livejournal.com]

Agreed.
I think he was very professional considering the situation.

[fikusss.livejournal.com]

LOL! As if he wanted to answer such questions at the presscon devoted to his drama. Still his answer was polite and neutral.

[kotokochan.livejournal.com]

I don't know why are ppl so pissed. - -" he didn't say anything bad at all, is he?

poor Kame :(

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I gues we're not pissed at him but at the situation he was put in by the journalist... They shouldn't have ask him

[kaihiwtara.livejournal.com]

THIS

[heroismine.livejournal.com]

I'm not surprised they actually asked him because he had been through it, not to mention all of the journalist have asked any Johnnys about this matter recently: V6, Matchy, even Uchi.

the withdrawal is still pretty hot topic in Japan now, its only been a week.

[nands-kisa.livejournal.com]

actually no one asked V6. They talked about it at their concerts.

[isolated-killer.livejournal.com]

We each have a life of our own.

the best wording of the whole situation. either with KT or NewS.

[trifarashi.livejournal.com]

i wonder should all the journalists ask bout the withdrawal to everyone in JE..?
tsk~
and if the rumors of kame leaving KATTUN ever comes out n turn out to be true...
I'm gonna kick that old man!

[ds-krtl.livejournal.com]

totally agree :D

[lavi-licious.livejournal.com]

i kind of like the way he actually commented about the whole incident. he seems mature in his reply even though he could have really said "no comment".

[goodbyethankyou.livejournal.com]

Idk, I think Kame's answer was rather good. He didn't criticise Pi or anything and

"It’s not my own group, so I can’t really say anything… but they’ve been active for many years, so they should have a bond that you can’t see."
I really liked this line. :) It's like telling us that's how he felt about his own group.

[b_akakame.livejournal.com]

Totally agree with you! =)

[glassrose-85.livejournal.com]

basically the guy saying " its not my group then its not business" kind of answer..

though i "think" he believed pi is influenced by jin..so thats why he is not surprised? ..hmm...

i ll miss pi-news goofiness and the old days of the group..

[orangeflush.livejournal.com]

johnny's boys comment always flat, i understand this but sometimes i wanna see more emotion of how they actually feel..

TBH i feel betrayed, of course! after all those sweet song and lyrics that tellin us if they'll be with us.
But it is their life, not us. So i'm trying my best to respect their decision.

My bad because i fall for them (lol), can't blame them ^^

[arison-chan.livejournal.com]

Wow, I'm surprised reporters asked Kame, but I'm even more surprised he actually commented. I thought for sure he would keep quiet on the whole situation, since he doesn't know what happened with NEWS. I'm happy he did say something, though, and I love what he said.

[ds-krtl.livejournal.com]

There is no need to get pissed off to Kamenasahi-san, since he already had some experience about this kind of situation. Moreover, he DOES NOT say anything bad at all. It's the way of thinking and talking of him. Since I am (and most of the other people interested in KAT-TUN) familiar with Kamenashi-san's way of talking, I did not get it pissing. I think, he said the best thing by saying it is not his own group because if he had said anything related to that situation, interviewers would -probably- make put his answer in a bad way.. What is important in that comment is that they asked him about "some rumors" regarding "his withdrawal".. I think they try to get some answers to make polemics..

Also, personally, I am happy that at least some people are interested in to make comments about that situation.. I am depressed since I heard the news about the withdrawal and waited for some explanations, some sort of news, some sort of things that shows someone is interested in US (the NEWS-lovers) actually... Yeah, maybe some of the fans may not want to hear comments about that, but I am PERSONALLY so happy to hear some sort of comments. At least I, who had bad experiences about these withdrawal things regarding KAT-TUN's and Tohoshinki's cases and had no explanations or comments from them, am thinking in that way.
