I’m just further speculating on the pop angle and that is more or less me spewing out thoughts about reasons why they might’ve taken the direction they dod beyond Tsuzuku being an Arashi stan. I really thought your point about the lack of media coverage was right on, I hadn’t even noticed until you said anything about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I say what you’re saying but to be fair he does that side-eye thing a lot. Like a LOT a lot.

frayed 404 Posted June 29, 2018 I’m just glad this black listing doesn’t extend to Tower Records for events, which I mean I hoped for as much since it’s not exclusively a vkei store. Here’s hoping for more of those being announced in the future. As much as I was thrown off initially, I’m less jarred now and I still plan to see them. I wasn’t feeling Mejibray until I saw them live, so I think in my case it’s only fair to give them a proper shot. 1 diryangrey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
