Koichi leaves Bullet Train (Choutokkyuu)

Yeah I don't usually make blogs or whatever but I'm making this for those that keep up with this curtain jpop boy group or if there is even 1 person that could share the pain with me.

And yes, you can ignore this if you don't know who they are or say "sorry to hear that" or whatever. Even having a laugh is okay but I don't want no sarcastic or rude comments in the bottom.. I found out about this today and I'm a little down.


 

So as it says at the top, Koichi Yoshino will no longer continue as a member of Bullet Train. It was announced on the offical website on the 16th of January 2018. Something to do with his concerns about future activities or whatever which lead him to the decision to withdraw from the group.

As a summary, Bullet Train was a 7 member boy group. The group consists of 'main dancers' and 'back vocalists', meaning that the vocalists stand behind the dancers during the band's performances. Every member represents a color and a train carriage/car/whatever the hell it's translated too (Just gonna call it gousha). Their fans are known as the '8th gousha'. Koichi, being the oldest member, was the '1st gousha' that represented the colour black. He was incharge or the vocals in the group as well as Takashi, the '7th gousha' representing white.

Ryoga, Mr. Purple guy (I like to call him), showed his sorrow for the withdrawal of his fellow member. But since I don't know Japanese I don't understand and can't translate or anyhting T_T But he mentioned that the 8th gousha shouldn't be sad. He also brought up the fact that they are having a Tokyo Dome concert later this year. Everything will continue as plan without Koichi and he hopes all their fans to support both Koichi and Bullet Train as 6 members. But honestly I'm still sad... IT'S NOT THE SAME! Like, how can there be 7 gousha when one is missing?!

So if there were only 2 singers in the group, who will sing Koichi's parts? Funny you asked or not lol. Takashi will be singing both his and Koichi's parts of the songs. Basically he will sing on his own while the other 5 dance around him. That was okay for 2 people to just stand there but it would look odd if he's just standing there on his own. I think for future comebacks he needs to learn the dances. But that's my opinion, I just can't see the group without Koichi and I'm coming up with these  ridiculous scenarios in my head.

And yeah. I think I covered the main parts. I just want to say good luck with the future Choutokkyuu. And Koichi... Dad..... I will miss you. Yes I call him dad, BIG DEAL lol
