 There is only a little over a month left until May 22, when Shiyou Hirano, Yuta Kishi, and Yuta Jinguji of the Johnny&#8217;s group &#8220;King &amp; Prince&#8221; (hereafter &#8220;Kimpuri&#8221;) will leave the group.

 Hirano and Jinguji left Johnny&#8217;s on the same day. Kishi will leave the group later than the other two because his movie &#8220;G-Men&#8221; is scheduled to be released in the summer.
 In the midst of all this, fans were emotionally moved by the tears shown by Kaito Takahashi, who will remain with the group.
 Takahashi appeared on the April 9 broadcast of &#8220;Fashionable Clip&#8221; (NTV). For his solo talk show appearance, he said
 I usually just sit in the background and listen, so I&#8217;m scared,&#8221; she said.
 When asked about the future goal of the two members, he looked up to the sky.
 Tears started to overflow. &#8230;&#8230;
 Takahashi wiped his eyes several times before saying
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 I hope to meet as many of my fans as possible, and I hope to see them on bigger stages and more often.
 I wish I could see them more often, like on a big stage, to meet as many cheering fans as possible,
 I love the members more than anything. I hope everyone can live happily. I hope we can be friends forever.
 I hope we can be friends forever.
 As Takahashi sobbed, Kimpuri fans &#8220;got it&#8221; and cried. At the same time
 &#8220;Why should Hirano and the other three quit when they care so much about the members?
 It&#8217;s ridiculous no matter how you think about it. The Johnny&#8217;s office should give a proper explanation.
 The Japaneses office should explain the situation to the members properly.
 In retrospect, the announcement of their departure from the group was abrupt. On November 4, 2010, the Johnny&#8217;s s office officially announced that Hirano and the other three members were leaving the group. According to a sports newspaper reporter
 &#8220;From the morning of the day of the announcement, information spread slowly and quietly behind the scenes. In other words, until then, nothing had happened.
 The reason for leaving and leaving the office was that &#8220;the members were not in the same position as before. The reason for leaving the group was &#8220;a difference in direction among the members. Kimpuri was called &#8220;the last work&#8221; of Mr. Kitagawa Janney, who passed away in 2007, and the aim of the group was to become &#8220;world-class artists.
 In a video for his fan club released at the time of the announcement, Hirano said
 In a video for her fan club released at the time of the announcement, Hirano stated, &#8220;Even though I had put all my effort into it, I felt that it was too late (to expand overseas), and I had lost my goal.
 He revealed that he had lost his goal and made this decision. &#8230;&#8230;
 The members were talking with their heads down in the video, so some fans asked, &#8220;Are there any canned messages?&#8221; &#8220;Kimpli fans were suspicious because the members were talking with their faces down in the video. &#8220;Kimpli fans were suspicious because the members were talking with their faces down in the video. In fact, in the DVD of last spring&#8217;s concert, the words &#8220;10th anniversary&#8221; and &#8220;future&#8221; were written on a white board in the bonus video.
 Is it possible that a group that had drawn a positive &#8220;future vision&#8221; last spring would change direction in just six months or so? Even if this is the case, shouldn&#8217;t there be a grace period before the restoration? Fans have been left with an unsettled feeling.
 Johnny&#8217;s emphasized that the decision was reached after repeated discussions among the members and that the situation was amicable. When Bunshun Weekly reported on the &#8220;feud&#8221; between Hirano and the other departed members and the Johnny&#8217;s office, they immediately denied it and announced that they would consider legal action against Bunshun.
 He immediately denied the allegations and announced that he would consider legal action against Bunshun. In fact, Takahashi&#8217;s tears have strengthened their feeling that the explanation given by the office is absolutely wrong, and that the biggest victims are the members and fans.
 The five members of Kimpuri are said to be making arrangements to make some kind of comment on their &#8220;last day,&#8221; but what fans want to know is the true feelings of the members. The situation is not going to be resolved, but rather, it is creating even more doubts.
 If things continue as they are, a new start could be made in the midst of chaos.
