And he reached 1 million followers in about 12 hours!

Have to talk about again, how strange a-nation is this year.
No Tokyo dates (so far).
And not a single LDH or K-Pop group announced (no Exile, Generations, J Soul Brothers, E-girls, Flower, Tohoshinki, Exo and the likes).
They were stable acts in recent years.
I wonder why.
Could be they gonna perform at the Osaka dates. But it is strange nevertheless.

Yeah it's a big deal in Johnnys' context

Granted that Yamapi & ex SMAP KimuTaku have Weibo accounts but not everyone knows how to read Mandarin

And KimuTaku said that he hired a translator to translate Japanese to Mandarin contents for his Weibo posts

Only when Johnnys leave J&A such as ex ONE OK ROCK's TAKA , ex KAT-TUN's Akanishi Jin , Tanaka Koki , ex SMAP's Kusanagi , Shingo & Goro then they're free to open SNS

So for Yamapi to be able to do that while still being part of J&A , it's unheard of

Johnnys lose out so much over the last decade or so & their mentality towards digital related promo makes no sense in this era

Well at least it's better late than never

And with regards to this year's a-nation , I think avex is still finalising details but if this year there's no Tokyo dates , that would be just weird on every level

Frankly I don't know why it took KAT-TUN's Kame so long to release solo material but better late than never

Guess it's a matter of timing . Kame's past solo ballads tend to be miss for me but something about Rain , it's so different in a good way

Also , it sucks that Hey ! Say ! JUMP are not doing a tour this year but for once it's none of the members' fault(s)

J&A only resort to this as the last resort & hopefully the fans will stop behaving inappropriately , it doesn't reflect well on them & also on HSJ -_-
