This is gonna be another rant. I don’t even want to do it. I don’t have the time to do it. But the amount of utter bullshit about the Snow Prince Gasshoudan debut I’ve been reading in the past 2 days is driving me insane, and I just have to address it. The following may contain a lot of strong language. If you can’t take it I don’t care. If you don’t like it I don’t care either. I just thought I’d let you know in advance.
Oh and btw, when you read this post please imagine that I AM SHOUTING AT YOU ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I FEEL AS I’M WRITING IT. I JUST DON’T WANT TO WRITE THE WHOLE POST IN CAPS FOR AESTHETICAL REASONS. OKAY?!?!
Okay, so Snow Prince Gasshoudan are going to debut. Yes, people, debut! For all the linguistically challenged people out there, “to debut” means “to do something for the first time”. If you take part in the next London Marathon and you’ve never done a marathon before this is your debut marathon. If you’ve never donated blood before the first time you do it it’s gonna be your debut as a blood donor. If you release a CD tomorrow for the very first time it’s your CD debut. Got it? First time = debut. Nakayama Yuma with B.I.Shadow debuted this year because it was the first time they released a CD. Even if they never release anything else it was a debut. Because they did it for the very first time. It wasn’t a “temporary debut”. There is no such thing as a “temporary debut”. If you have sex only once and then never again for the rest of your life then you don’t lose your virginity temporarily. You lose your virginity. Period.
Okay, so Snow Prince Gasshoudan are going to debut. Their average age is 10.5 years. The oldest is Kishimoto Shintaro at age 13. The youngest is Chino Aoi at age 8. Five of this 11-member-group are less than 10 years old.
SO… FUCKING… WHAT?!?!?
Listen, people, you have to get over the notion of having to have sex with everything you see on TV, okay? Sometimes a boys choir is just a boys choir. They’re singing a song. It’s a theme song for a movie that has a 12-year-old as its main character. It’s the first time ever that a Johnny’s boy is starring in a major movie that has been sold to dozens of countries before it was even released. What do you expect? Do you want SMAP to do the song? Do you want the dog to do the song? Let me tell you that if you’re a Johnny’s fan and it comes as a surprise to you that a kid, or a bunch of kids, is doing the theme song for a kids-themed movie aimed at kids, or if this upsets you in any way then you must be a hypocritical bigot or a stupid moron because obviously you totally didn’t grasp the system you’ve been supporting with your money for years. If you’ve ever actually bought any Johnny’s CDs or DVDs that is, and not just stole them by downloading them illegaly.
Oh, and btw…
New rule: people need to stop listing idols that they think “deserve” to debut whenever there’s a debut. TOMA IS NOT GOING TO DEBUT, GET OVER IT, OKAY?!?! Besides, none of us fans knows shit about who deserves what. Whenever a fan says “XXX deserves to debut” what they really mean is “I want XXX to debut because I like them best“. Well I got news for you: nobody gives a fucking turd about what you want, least of all Johnny Kitagawa.
Speaking of Johnny Kitagawa…
Okay, so the man is a pedophile. Everyone knows that. Get over it or get out of the fucking fandom. He is making you sick? Fine. You know what’s making me sick? People who are sitting on their moral high-horses wagging their finger at the oh-so-evil Johnny Kitagawa but who can’t throw their money at him fast enough the very moment KAT-TUN or NEWS or Arashi release a new CD. Hypocritical bigots.
And finally, probably my favourite stupid comment about Snow Prince Gasshoudan: child labor. Seriously, people, what the fuck? Japan is a civilized country with child labor laws that are rigidly adhered to. THAT’S WHY HEY!SAY!JUMP AREN’T ALLOWED TO APPEAR IN THE NEW YEAR’S COUNTDOWN!!! To accuse Johnny of child labor (even if it’s a hyperbole, or just a joke) is a slap in the face of millions of actual child laborers. And how much do you want to bet that the person who came up with the child labor comment is wearing a 5-dollar t-shirt and doesn’t give a shit about the fact that it was made by a 7-year-old girl under atrocious conditions in a Cambodian sweatshop. For fuck’s sake, people, think before you speak.
Snow Prince Gasshoudan are releasing a single. They’re a temporary group. They won’t release an album. They won’t go on a national tour. They won’t play Tokyo Dome. So GET OVER IT!!!
