@Lime-chan: (sorry for cutting your username like that xD) yeah, I agree with you on the 'being mean' matter. He does what he does to protect the boys and I think many people see that as being mean ..

Yamee-chan, I meant bad as in sick..
yeah he kinda is mean sometimes and does things that no one can understand why but .. minna, we know our favourite group because of him, if it wasnt him there would be no Arashi, KAT-TUN, HSJ, NEWS, etc etc.

About the Jin situation, even thought I started being an Hyphen when he was still there (and I loved him as much as I love Uepi and Maru and Taguchi -KameandKokiaremybabies<3-), it was his decision to go solo, no one forced him, so Kitagawa let him go .. and by doing this Meisa thing that he's done, it just wasnt fair for Kitagawa, that gave him support and everything was going well for Jin for a while, he was the one who ruined it. And Kitagawa is punishing him so others wont try and do that kind of things, it only proves that Kitagawa just wants his kids to do good and not ruin their career- this is just my opinion about this all, you may have different one, and I respect that.

The man has 80 years on his back .. and still does great job with picking Johnny Jr's, like .. he has a golden eye .. majide!

About those abuse scandals,I've read some of those and really .. I really don't know what to thing about it. I know that there was a book written by an old Johnny's telling abbout all the stuff Kitagawa made him do and lots of gross stuff ~-~
..and I've read something about Arashi that serioulsy pissed me of (it was on a blog so I dont know if its true). A person (the infamous A-san) said that 4/5 of Arashi had been molested by Kitagawa and there where lots of reasons and bla bla bla..

-_- I cant imagine half of Johnny's being molested by Kitagawa like ... have you seen their personalities, they have strong personalities (most of them) abnd I just cant imagine those guys letting Kitagawa do that to them, I just don't :/

As far as hom being bad werent there scandals of abuse?
I do hope he gets well though

Sarapyon is right. Johnny's daughter who has to do something with JStorm is probably going to take over the company. In the time of need.

I like that old man he is awesome some decisions made might not have been the smartests but without him we wouldn't have had Johnny's. I hope he is okay but he is super old so idk

he is THAT bad
i just hate him!
we all know hes old and all but he made some of the talents be discouraged
and now its Jin
come on! its just bad karma
i dont want him to die, i want him to be nicer

hes really mean
but lets not hope hed die
he started it all
:)

unless i hear the news that johnny is dead, i'm not gonna worry about it. and i'm sure that he already has someone already set up to take this place.
whether or not that's his daughter i have no idea.

His daughter will handle Johnny's *O* That's why there was a news about a serious dinner something with the representative in each group in JE
