Well he was being shoved in our faces whenever we were looking at Ayu. That's a normal reaction I'd say.
While it wasn't his fault he was suddenly by her side everytime they were doing something, and in that aspect it's sad, I guess it just goes with the territory.
I'd say some of the Japanese fans are far worse, as they attack his Japanese level and the fact that he's foreign. Because yea, that still exists here.
But many of the japanese fans have definitely accepted him as much as they accept the other members so it's not all bad.
