Assalamu’alaikum

LOL! For this post I am going
to touch a bit on the latest scandal on the oldest Hey!Say!JUMP’s member; Yabu
Kota. Oh yeah! Yesterday, he got Friday-ed! I was kinda surprised at first when
I saw the photos and the article.
It was
just this week when I had a dream about Yabu. Yup, he visited me in my dream
and he came alone. He never came alone before and so I was surprised to see
him. In the dream, he told me something that almost made me fainted. Haha XD He
told me that he is quitting JE because he wants to live with his ‘wife’. Yeah,
I repeat, WIFE. I was like, “WHAT!?” then a beautiful lady approached us in the
dream. When she reached us, Yabu immediately introduced her to me, he said,
“This is my wife”.
So yeah,
that was the dream I had about Yabu. I thought it was just like those normal
dreams we have when we sleep but no. Yesterday, this thingy about Yabu got
FRIDAY-ed (the term we used on idols who appear in Friday mag – I think it’s
like a tabloid mag -) came out! Here it is! SURPISE, people! SURPRISE!

Hey!Say!JUMP)
So the
mag says, Yabu Kota (24) is reported to be currently living together with his
girlfriend who is said to be older than him (26). According to the source too,
it says JE knows about their relationship and approved it but the two are not
allowed to be dating in public. SURPRISE! The paparazzi photos were taken just
recently when the two went to the convenience store near the apartment they
live in approximately around 1 in the morning; after Hey!Say!JUMP’s concert.
Okay, I
am not surprised with the paparazzi photos because paparazzis are scary -_-
They can capture anything and then make up a random story that can be fit in
with the picture they take. But! The photo of the girl kissing Yabu’s cheek and
the one with Yabu hugging her, I don’t think those are work of the paparazzi.
LOL. Obviously, not. The thing is HOW did they manage to get a hold on those private
pictures? How the pictures did got leaked?
Some of
the fans said this scandal might just be one of the stunts used to get more
attraction or attention from the people. Well, you know, the timing is perfect
because JUMP has just done with their LIVE WITH ME in TD concert and they are
scheduled to release their third album soon :) Of course, it is risky as fans
might get jealous and would get stupid and leave the fandom. But it is
possible.
The fans
are having a mixed reaction. It was a bit chaotic at first. Fans were shocked,
broken hearted and crying. But after awhile, I can see that some have starting
to calm down a bit, some have starting to accept the fact that Yabu too is a
human; a boy and of course he also have his own private life. He can fall in
love and he deserves a love story of his own.
Last
night I had a short conversation with a few tobikkos on FaceBook; A group of
mature tobikkos. They admitted that they were shocked at first and some of them
even cried so hard when the news reached them. But they are so mature and
positive thinkers. I can’t help it but to admire these strong hearted fans.
Here is some of what they said about this Yabu’s scandal:
“Shock mode… but still
I support them… If he’s in love then let it be, right?”
“I will support!! :)”
“Well, it hurts seeing
them. I almost cry too, but well, that’s Yabu’s life. He has his own privacy
too, so if he thinks it’s the best for him, I will support as his fan. And I
hope no bad thing will happen to the pretty girl”
“For now, of they are
really a couple, I hope nothing bad will happen to the girl, just like how fans
do something bad to Rubi-chan and Mariya”
“It’s normal when Yabu
want to cherish someone in his life. He is 24 anyway”
“Fans shouldn’t meddle
too much on idols’ life. Everyone has their own life and privacy which they
don’t want people to meddle with. Just think about ourselves, do you want if
someone always meddling with your privacy?”
“Totally supporting
this pair and hopefully we will not get anymore sad news about it like breaking
up or giving up things. I just wish Yabu to stay and be the Yabu we all know
:)”
“I’m shocked but I
think it is not wrong for him to have partner in life. He also wants a life
like other people too. Poor my Yabu ne. Don’t worry, Yabu. I will always
support you until the end. Be strong. Tobikkos always support and love you even
you already have a partner”
“He is a guy and every
guy wants a girl to be with him to support him. We are not the fated girls for
Yabu-kun, so support him with his fated girl (that if she is)… So minna-san,
please be with our Yabunbun and help him. I finally calmed down and think about
it slowly, and it’s really nice and cute, you know ^_^”
“I take it pretty well
that he’s dating someone. I mean, he’s human; he deserves to have a love story
too like everyone. And somehow it doesn’t surprise me that he’s go on a date
and not caring if he get photographed. I mean, he has a careless side too. I
personally think Yabu’s girlfriend (if it is true) is pretty cute. I wish all
the best for him, and I will always support our Yabunbun!”
“He is a boy. He has
the right to get girlfriend although the fans are feeling sad too. But we don’t
have the right to stop him”
“His fans should be
happy he’s happy. I really don’t get the concept of ‘an idol is everyone’s and
not one’s’. That can probably be apply to Hatsune Miku but not to real life
people”
“I support Yabu
>_<”
“I think if we’d love
him so should support for him ne. If he’s happy, I’ll happy too. Minna-san
please continue support for him”
“SUPPORT YABU!! He’s a
human who fell in love”
“I’ll never leave JUMP
behind just because of these kinds of news. It may hurt a lot but I am just a
fan and I have to accept their decision and stuffs. It may not be right now but
I’m sure I will be able to support them :) I have to. I’m supporting JUMP since
2007, even from the start of Hey!Say!7 and that will never ever stop. I’ll be
forever a Tobikko. And whatever happen JUMP will forever be 10”
So yeah,
those are some comments from the tobikkos I talked with last night. It’s a good
thing that they are able to take it positively and continue to support Yabu :)
But of
course, they are some who are having a hard time to accept the news. Yeah,
especially the tobikkos who their ichiban is Yabu Kota.
“Kinda sad, but I cried
at first”
“Actually I am shocked
*crying to death when heard this*”
“I have no idea what to
say, I just can’t find the words to describe my feeling”
“I don’t know what to
do or say… Is that really him!? Still can’t believe it T.T But please I don’t
want him to quit JE”
As for
myself, I didn’t know how to react at first but somehow I calmed down almost
immediately. I don’t really mind to be honest. I only hope that this will not
affect Yabu’s career with JUMP and JE in any way. Because as we all now, Yabu
Kota is one of the pillars of Hey!Say!JUMP. JUMP can never be without him!
But there
is a rumour saying that Yabu is quitting JE once he reach 30 years old which is
like 6 years from now and I can’t help it but to be bothered by it. But if it
is true, then what he is telling me in my dream is true. But we don’t know yet
for sure.
I can
only hope it’s not true. We all know how much Yabu loves Hey!Say!JUMP and the
members, right? So I doubt he will leave JE. I am sure he will stay with JUMP
and JE as long as he can :)
I don’t
know what else to say…
But…whatever
happens, let’s just keep supporting Yabu and JUMP as we always did before. He
loves us and we know it :) I know it is kinda hurtful at first for Yabu’s
ichibaners and I know they need time to accept this :( But I know they know
that the best thing to do is to support Yabu. That is what we call LOVE.
I really
feel like hugging all Yabu’s ichibaners right now. I am not one so I can’t say
that I understand their feeling completely… But I know time will heal
everything. Just don’t think too much about it. Everything will be just fine.
Something like this cannot be avoided. So fans just have to stick together and
comfort those who need comfort :’)
That is
all :) I hope this post is worth reading :)
