Yeah, I really feel like big debuts like that must be decided a long time before they actually happen. Since Kotaki was ready in the kankeisha at Countdown while Fujii and Kamiyama weren't present, I have to think they all knew. An interview with Yabu has revealed that he knew long beforehand that Ya-ya-yah would be broken up and he and Hikaru would be put with JUMP, too. So... I feel like the whole thing with SHARK is pretty comparable to Bakaleya.
I mean, I definitely see it that way, too XD; So that's why I don't think 2020 is ever going to come to fruition. It was Johnny's idea, and I highly doubt Johnny will be able to be fully active in a managerial position at 88 years old, even if he is still kicking. But who even knows... I guess I'll just hope that they'll realize abandoning the small to mid-sized group platform that got them so far is a bad idea by then. XD;;
I see. I honestly don't mean to criticize anyone, and if my friends are happy, then I'm happy for them, but it just honestly was surprising to me, from the way I personally see Johnny's. In case it hasn't been clear from all these comments, the idea of "the group" is really important to the way I enjoy Johnny's, and so when groups are broken apart, even when I know it necessarily has to happen sometimes, it's still upsetting to me. And I don't even like 7West! XD;;
Fair enough! When they announced the debut I immediately thought "oh, they're copying Kanjani8" XD;
