So, remember Tazaki, set-to-be-new Kaidoh for the 3rd generation Seigaku cast? Remember how he had to pull out (though we never found out why) and Kujirai had to step back in--right after Treasure Box no less--and work his ass off to get up to speed? All those lines and dances to memorize, something he never should have had to do?
I just found out why. Apparently it's been known by most of the Japanese fans for a while now, but Noumin just posted about it (Eri posted a week or so ago).
Ever heard of the band EXILE? Apparently they're a big deal, though I've never heard their music. A 2-man band, pretty popular, and well lookie there--they just signed a new member.
Tazaki.
It wasn't because he was sick. It wasn't because he was hurt.
It was because he'd gotten a bigger, better deal signing on as EXILE's new vocalist. He DROPPED TENIMYU and left them wanting for a Kaidoh-actor, made them go out and beg Kujirai, already burdened with Treasure Box and coming in late to rehearsals, to come back.
The hell, man. YOU DON'T DO THAT.
Noumin's pissed, Eri's pissed, and now I'm pissed. That's the most thoughtless, selfish thing I've ever heard of, and something I would NOT have expected out of the TeniMyu guys just cause...damn they all seem so nice and hardworking and...Japanese >_>;;;
Kujirai worked so hard, gave it his best in Rokkakumyu, something he shouldn't have HAD to do.
I never listened to EXILE before, and I sure as hell won't now.
