All signs pointed to this but you never really believe that this would actually happen because that's just not how JE works. Well, not until now anyway. There's no reason to segregate a "5" member group into "the older 3" and "younger2" especially when that wasn't the original concept like it was with HSJ.

This is so frustrating and even more so as I can't see how JE as a company will benefit from this profit-wise. The only thing this has down is upset fans and hurt Marius and Sou. They're not like BUSAIKU who can just brave it out, their just kids and they must feel so rejected by this decision and I just hate it.

JE has always had favourites amoung it's boys but never like this, this is just downright bullying. If everything's just going to be based solely on popularity and how largely your face gets to be displayed on a CD cover based on your degree of popularity then maybe everyone should just be soloists. Obviously nobody likes groups like TOKIO, SMAP or Arashi who've stuck it out together as a group and the chemistry that they have with eachother. Yamapi's and Yuma's singles are all selling like hotcakes because they were able to lose the deadweight of the people they used to be grouped with.

the new single, which will be released on september 17th, will be entitled “never give up.”
Lol what irony.
