Let me tell you something, i think you guys understimte Tanuki importance on Visual Kei scene.
90% of the fans read it. Most of them take it serious.
You know Visual Kei scene is not all about music, right? The fans see them as their "ideal men" and thats why they follow and support them.
If a member get shit exposed, especially with proofs like screen shots and even pictures they lose popularity realy soon. Many bands disband because of it. Many members have to leave the band because of it.
Talking about SAN, i like his as musician and i thnk he looks good. But sadly, there's TOO MUCH shit about him there. Too many pictures exposed.
He will always be known as a "shitty boy", so hardly he will get new fans. Also, old BFN fans could also be ashamed to support a band where he is. Its a really important factor to them. I think putting SAN on the band was a really, really bad decision. They can't get bigger with him there.
Sadly thats how this industry works, and honestly, what we think or not is not really important because oversea fans doesn't mean nothing for them
