yeah it's an age thing . I was a big Johnny's fan no doubt . I'm still in the fandom but just for the music mainly . I still have a lot of respect towards all the Johnny's I listened to except for ARASHI now

I was losing myself that time & frankly when I look back at some of the mean things I said to anti Johnny's on here , I can't help but feel ashamed/cringy of myself

but at the end of the day , Rock music still rules for me . Even way before I crossed over to Japanese music , I love my rock bands during the time when I listened to them

That's why I feel for rock bands that I listen to , 99.99% they will not sell out to the masses because they don't go though the Idol route & they do everything hands on from writing , composing to producing which I super respect this trait(s) instilled in them

& most of them started out in the music business with indie roots so they know lip synching's a NO GO

YES dude , that was pretty much the last straw that broke the camel's back for me

I was horrified they dared to lip synch in such a high honoured event & really , what would people think ?

I think the other bands in the talent agency might probably bad mouth about them doing so cos it's really a big slap in the face

I frankly don't mind if an artiste lip synch should the song in question's a fast paced dance no. or if he/she was ill on that day

but to do that for EVERY single performance & from the start to the end of your concerts ?

demented much ?
