faded_laceFrom News @ Asahi TV.
I'm going to refrain from making a comment right now, because I don't want to let my emotions get the best of me, but as you might guess, I'm pretty much livid. All I'm going to say is, we'll have to wait and see how things pan out.
And just as I thought things were looking up, too.

snow has kindly translated a tabloid article about this event here. Please read the translator's notes on the actual translation and keep in mind, though, that these tabloids basically make up facts to sell copies. I think the jury's still out on whether this will continue in the future, but I figured for completeness, I'd add this more "sensationalized" view. Please, though, remember that this article is a tabloid, and not a reliable news source.
Today, July 15th, Sexy Zone's Sato Shori (17), Nakajima Kento (20), and Kikuchi Fuma(19) held a presentation event for their new single in Tokyo's Yoyogi National Gymnasium. In front of 10,000 fans, they performed their new song for the first time, and announced that that same song would not include Matsushima Sou (16) and Marius Yo (14) but would instead be comprised just of Sato, Nakajima, and Kikuchi. The fan's shocked voices, crying out "Ehhhh???" rose up in the venue. Nakajima commented, "We want to move forward showing the fans many forms," while Kikuchi asked the fans to understand, saying, "If we work hard just the three of us, and each become stronger before returning to 5、I think the possibilities for our group will instantly increase." From here on, centered on the three with Sato, there's the chance that they'll become a fluid group with members being switched in and out, and Nakajima expanded what might be expected, saying, "It's possible that next year, we'll put out solos and stuff, too." In May, two derivative groups incorporating Marius and Matsushima respectively were born, and all five will appear in the summer concert starting on July 23rd.

That gif is perection btw.

Date: 2014-07-15 02:07 pm (UTC)Yeah, it's completely ridiculous. At the very least, I want the older ones to stand up for them, but I guess the management can use excuses like being too young or living too far until they're out of school. It's just hard to bear and think about how much they're all hurting.
Ahaha thank you. I love it. It's everything I ever wanted XD

Date: 2014-07-15 02:11 pm (UTC)The fact that Sou tranferred to Tokyo for school and work means they are trying to fight back. Our babies are so strong!! And they will come out of this much stronger and better human beings!!! They just need to hold on!

Date: 2014-07-15 02:24 pm (UTC)I just really hope they can keep fighting and not be broken by the pressure. They're so young and this is so much. But you're right, we just need to believe in them and hope they can hold on. That's all we can do… and I know they can do it!

Date: 2014-07-15 02:28 pm (UTC)Ahhhh, Sou is my baby! I know he can help Mari through this.
no subject
Date: 2014-07-15 02:34 pm (UTC)I hope so! He's been so good to Marius recently, so I'm hopeful.

Date: 2014-07-15 02:38 pm (UTC)This is why I am glad that Sou is now living in Tokyo. It makes it much easier for him to fight. He probaby made this decision because of Ijima and her tantrums. One less thing for them to make excuses for.

Date: 2014-07-15 02:41 pm (UTC):OO Where did you read he's living in Tokyo? I'd seen the stuff about transferring schools, but not about his living situation. I've been hoping he'd be able to live in Tokyo, since that would help everything so much, but I didn't know it was a reality…!
