This really isn’t his fault. Johnny’s is so strict on things like this. I feel bad for them.

yep true aly4818…
even we fans know that johny’s is vey strict person…so maybe he already warning all of the member not to mention jin’s name in any event at all…so team taguchi!!

They are not at fault. I know how junno is…been a fan ever since before KAT-TUN debuted..Jin and Junno is in one junior unit before…he wouldn’t be saying just anything about jin or offended him in any way..

Seriously? Obviously he didn’t mention Jin because its a a sensitive topic, or something along those lines, for everyone and concerts are suppose to be happy why ruin them?

Ask Jin if he really considers himself as a KATTUN member first.

true.. true… Ive gotta agree with kashiko. I dont know but everytime I see Jin with Kattun. I feel disturbed, he’s just different after he came back from US, it’s just really different.

Well, Jin’s not in the group in anymore so technically there’s nothing wrong with his comment.

at least, junno can say ‘yes’ without mention Akanishi name. It so simple. To say ‘never’ is quite unforgiven for me…
After all, nobody can denied the fact that Akanishi was an ‘A’ for KAT-TUN before even he looks uninterested while in a group.

I agree with TGUCHI @.@
Let Jin be the best in US.He often leaves KAT-TUN.I’m sicks of his leavings

i knew kattun through jin .at first i thought wihtout jin i must support kattun.
but they pissed me off.
best luck for jin

i knew kattun through jin .at first i thought wihtout jin i must support kattun.
but they pissed me off.
however taguchi said like that other member also know he co-star with jin .

They can’t mention Jin’s name now that he’s withdrawed from the group, it’s a sensitive topic and i’m sure Johnny advised them not to…Fans should understand that these guys are going through a difficult time too, i mean even if feelings have changed and Jin left the group, they did literally grow up together so i’m sure that in the end, they wish him well just as he wishes KAT-TUN well…

I hope fans would at least stop and think for a while before they start blaming and accusing people. KaT-TUN is in a tight and awkward phase right now. If you’re a true KaT-TUN fan then at least try to understand them first and support them all you can. Sometimes not everything they say or do is what they really want, it’s the agency’s rules.

i mean i think he forgot maybe…..??? its sensitive tho…..

he could have forgot but if you think about it … jin is not in KAT-TUN any more.. and if he did it out of spite it is because he was hurt about him leaving the group..

haters that are making taguchi feel bad over there need to seriously step off, Jin wanted to leave and im sure he doesnt care whether or not taguchi mentioned they co-starred in yukan club, jin really doesnt seem like the type to be like “i cant believe u left out yukan club! T-T” lol

it is sad to hear especially deep down you know he starred in Yukan Club with Jin but at the same time Jin is now solo and no longer part of KAT-TUN~ isn’t Jin still part of JE just doing a solo career??

i think its more like jin is not topic to be mention for a while. its so sad reading this. junno and jin know each other way before kat tun was formed. its really sad it has come to this.

junno should not mention about jin anymore since he is no longer with them on stage

I actually understand why Junno said that.. I mean, KaT-TUN probably feels rlly betrayed by now…I would of probably said the same thing…Ughhh, stupid Jin!! Why the hell did he have to leave >.<

i think its just blown outa propotion… and shouldnt read too much into it and leave taguchi alone … lool not like he commited a serious crime or something ¬_¬….

Pfft,there go the fans again,
overreacting.

I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. Maybe Junno forgot? Sometimes I forget things like that as well. It’s all in the moment I suppose.

Bosses of huge idol companies (ex. AKB, H!P, JE) are very strict. So perhaps they were told not to mention Jin at all on purpose? Who knows.

But seriously this issue isn’t even an issue at all :\

@NobuMomu exactly lol…maybe he just forgot? I’m glad the fans didn’t make a fuss about it while at the concert though, that would make the members feel even worse

i feel bad for junno.. i dont think that was his intention.. sigh..
junno & the others shouldn’t be bashed nor should jin be.. they have their reasons. i just wish jin & kt-tun goodluck. the others can sure manage without jin anyway..

Lots of KAT-TUN news have been taken out of context lately. Just saying.
Taguchi would never say something that could potentially hurt someone (no matter how KY he is). He may be dense, but he’s not insensitive.
And I agree with monaero.

well kame asked him and i’m sure he knew they acted together. maybe they planned it.

Maybe Junno was just talking about current members of the group… So, no, he would have co-started with a member of KAT-TUN

I don’t think that they were supposed to mention Jin, even though he was a big part of KAT-TUN for years.
Also, KAT-TUN has been VERY busy preparing for their concerts, plus activities. They must all be pretty tired and exhausted.
Sometimes, if you’re overworked, you don’t think as well. -Shrugs-
I’m not mad at him at all.

awwwww man i just became a fan of KAT-TUN because of their song in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and i looked for other songs which i really liked and then now i find out that Jin is leaving…what a bummer…not to mention i just finished watching Yukan Club and i didn’t know that Miroku from Yukan Club was actually Jin and now that he’s leaving it’s like wtf !!!!!! ahhhhh what a bummer but anyway much luck to bot KAT-TUN and Jin.. ajaja much love God Bless

other than KT feeling bad about it right now, isn’t JE always like that? they don’t mention JRs who left or JR units that were disbanded, so i guess it’s the same with jin’s situation… unless he establishes himself as a solo artist only then will he be acknowledged again…something like that?

Um they are prolly not allowed to talk about former members eh? So yeah, the fans were prolly not real fans if they didn’t know about JE’s policies.

Well, Akanishi Jin is no longer a part of KaT-TUN so, yes, Junno has never acted with a KaT-TUN member.

ah! to be a star you still shouldn’t act like that. i wish they all just get along. i like all of them. it makes me sad to know they don’t get along. :(

poor junno, it probably wasnt his intention in any way~~
he probably just was avoiding the topic
poor junno~~ <3

I agree with yassie. I don’t remember seeing NEWS mention even once about the 2 former members since their comeback in 2007.

Although it seemed rude for Junnosuke to say that, it was actually the truth. Jin is no longer part of KAT-TUN, he is Jin Akanishi, now. So, in all honesty, Junnosuke had every right to say what he said. After all, it was Jin who decided to exclude himself from working with KAT-TUN, not Junnosuke. And who knows, Junnosuke could’ve forgotten all about that; it WAS 3 years ago. :P

JE’s always like this.
you can’t mention former members and stuff.
and i guess this means Jin didn’t quit KAT-TUN peacefully… :(

I don’t understand why so many of you think that if Jin isn’t ANYMORE part of KAT-TUN Junno is allowed to behave like he’s never been one. HE WAS WITH THEM DURING ALL THESE YEARS SO TECHNICALLY, NO, JUNNO CAN’T PRETEND IT’S NOT THE CASE. You don’t throw away somebody who you are friends with, even if the second person decided to leave. Or maybe some of you would do so?

*I believe it’s Johnny’s fault here, because Taguchi wouldn’t do such a thing.*

It’s also an awkward question to ask :/ I wonder why Kame even asked him when he knew that the two of them have acted together..? I would have avoided any talk about Jin for the time being.. Maybe it’s to indirectly tell fans that KAT-TUN will now go on without Jin? @.@

Maybe he made a mistake

although i love both of them its hard to pick a side because of the many different reasons

Umm you guys all know that JE is really strict about things like this. They don’t even mention that Uchi Hiroki was ever with NewS now that he’s back with JE and doing his musical things. So why are fans complaining when they know that it’s the company’s strict rules?

Well, Jin has already left. And he is no longer a part of KAT-TUN, so Taguchi wasn’t wrong in saying no. Prolly if they asked JE members, Taguchi will be able to answer yes and say Jin. Fans need to chill man Taguchi is the kindest soul ever!

weeeeeelll teeeeeeeechnically he was right

rather than whining on junno’s omission of jin, fans shld question on kame’s motive for paving this out for junno.
asking if junno has ever co-stared at fellow members? he even needed to ask that? kame himself shld know better…

he’s not KAt-tun member anymore jeez
he’s the one who’s left them

he’s not KAt-tun member anymore jeez
he’s the one who’s left them
