Letter to REVOKE and BRING BACK Ryu

Dear Reader (Johnny’s-san)

Hello, we found out about the scandal of Morimoto Ryutaro and that he’s been suspended indefinitely. We may not know much about Japanese laws since We live on the other side of the worldor we live far away somewhere else, but WE truly, TRULY are Hey!Say!JUMP fans and it’s just not the same with only 9 MEMBERS, It just doesnt feel right. You may be thinking we just making a fuss out of it but it truly breaks our hearts knowing that Hey!Say!JUMP WILL not be complete without Ryutaro, that just breaks our heart.

You may think WE are just writing WORDS, but this WORDS come from deep, DEEP inside our heart….This WORDS are honest…

Ryutaro makes me smiled when I see him smiled and happy,no, not only me, but all HIS FANS…. Seeing him,not active will bring him to NOT smile and sad will NOT make us SMILE it will actully make us SAD….

WE are not saying what he did is RIGHT because it’s WRONG, WE know that, but keep in mind that we ARE HUMANS, in OUR NATURE we are ment to make mistakes so we can learn from them, and YES some makes BIGGER mistakes than others but we LEARN from them…. and that’s what counts, right?

Yes you have to punish HIM, but just consider puting him back maybe after I dont know some months or less time…

(While i was investigating this i saw a quote that said “He’s only making his band members look bad” but with ALL MY HEART I WILL SUPPORT HIM because I AM TRULY A HEY!SAYJUMP FAN!!!!!) -Jenn

Ryutaro to me is something SPECIAL, he’s like our shinning sun when we wake up, when we see he’s face in the morning we smile and say “YOSH I’LL DO MY BEST TODAY” and we dont want him to stop smiling for not doing something that he loves doing.

When I found out I just couldn’t believe it…. I was sad,mad, I dont know, I had so many emotions in me at the moments,my mom notice, and she not really into the fact that I like Japanese bands, but when I told her she smiled and told me “Everything’s going to be okay. He has supporters plus he has millions and millions of fans who will stay with him” -Jenn

A TRUE FAN SUPPORTS ALL OF THEM NOT JUST THEIR ICHIBAN.

WE WILL SUPPORT RYUTARO WITH MY HEART AND SOUL……

ChiiTaro POPOLO

C: Good evening this is Hey Say 7’s Chinen Yuri

R: Good evening I’m Morimoto Ryutaro.

C: Let’s start with this letter today. From Aomori prefecture, pen-name: Yukichi-san. “Good evening hey say 7. I have a towel that I love. I heard that every since I was a baby I loved towels and even now I can’t sleep without my favorite towel. Does hey say 7 have something you love to use or can’t go on without?

R: I wonder. Something I love to use?

C: Something you can’t go on without.

R: Eh? Does Chinen-kun have something?

C: I do.

R: What (is it)?

C: Music player.

R: That’s something you use all the time?

C: I can’t go on without it.

R: I see. You bought head phones right?

C: I did.

R: How is it?

C: It’s good.

R: It’s good?

C: It’s fun.

R: Is something like that okay?

C: What? ‘Is something like that okay?'

R: (laughs)

C: Anything is okay.

R: Anything is okay?

C: Something you use a lot. Something you need. Say it.

R: …Wallet?

C: Wallet… (laughs) wallet… You can’t go on without a wallet right?

R: Yeah

C: So a clip isn’t enough?

R: Yeah… Should we start?

--

R: Wednesday is Keyword talk.

C: Did everyone send us a good keyword?

--

C: Hey Say Talking!

R: (he explains what it is). There are a lot of keywords-

C: Now let’s pick a word.

R: You cut me off.

C: I just wanted to pick. Please please let a good one come! Please please please! Alright. Tokyo, Nerima-ku. From pen-name “Kotsa-an”-san. "The word I want you guys to talk about is… Vacation"

R: Vacation… Vacation. I only went on vacations inside of Japan. So I want to go outside of Japan.

C: I actually never went either. So it’s like the only two members of Hey Say JUMP that never went outside of the country.

R: Oh! That’s right.

C: Yeah.

R: But there are also places in Japan that I never went to so…

C: Yeah same with me. The are more people who haven't been to every part of Japan.

R: Oh really?

C: Of course. There’s a lot (of places).

R: I want to go Okinawa.

C: Okinawa! I want to go too.

R: Also Kagoshima

C: Kagoshima

R: Also Kyuushuu Region.

C: We went a while ago. To Fukuoka

R: Fukuoka right?

C: Oh but it wasn’t a vacation huh?

R: But it was fun right?

C: It was fun. We ate Mentaiko. We get to eat like the famous things in those area so.

R: Yeah so it’s fun.

C: Where do you want to go next? Oh what about outside of the country? Since we’ve never went before.

R: Italy or France.

C: Yeah since the soccer teams are good.

R: No! (laugh) No (that’s not the reason).

C: Oh That’s not the reason?

R: No. My parent just really likes to brag. With that I mean like they say things like “Ryutaro, have you been to Paris before?” like that “Paris is great so go”

C: Eh your mom?

R: My mom.

C: Your mom likes to brag?

R: She loves it.

C: So she says things like “Have you been to Italy before Ryutaro?”

R: Yeah. She says like “Rome Empire is really great”

C: Then say “Take me there”

R: My mom brags all the time. Like for mails about concerts she writes things like “It was great. Go to Rome” all bragging “Rome is really great!” or “Paris is wonderful”

C: She says go but since you’re a kid…

R: I can’t go.

C: Normally you can’t go without a parent.

R: Right. Also when I took a picture for a passport, she said “You should go to New York. Go by yourself”

C: “Okay I’ll go. To the bath-house. “Nyuuyoku” (Nyuuyoku = Bathe, it sounds like New York) And you should joke around like that.

R: I won’t say that! I won’t say something like that (laughs) This (keyword) is...

C: Let’s go to the next one.

R: Vacation is…

C: It’s better than cold-sore though.

R: (laughs) Last week’s (keyword)? Then I have to try hard (to get a good word)

C: It might be something like cold sore again.

R: Oh this is hard~

C: It’s hard?

R: From radio name “Ichigo-choko”san

C: Ichigo-choko again?

R: The keyword is… Nap.

C: Nap…

R: This is hard.

C: We can’t take at nap at this time because it’s night.

R: I can’t take naps.

C: Why?

R: I can’t fall asleep.

C: You can’t fall asleep…

R: I can’t sleep unless it’s night.

C: Then you must have a well-regulated lifes.

R: Can you?

C: I can. I’m asleep for 2/3 of the day. I’m mostly sleeping.

R: How much is 2/3?

C: Like 8 hours?

R or C: *mumbling/calculating*

C: Oh there’s 24!

R: What’s wrong?

C: Oh that’s right… I thought it was 12 (hours in a day). It’s okay. Then it’s 16 hours.

R: You’re sleeping a lot.

C: Yeah like 16 hours. I sleep during work too so... I’m just kidding I don’t.

R: Is it fun for you to sleep?

C: It’s fun isn’t it? I think I’m the happiest when I’m sleeping.

R: You’re kidding. I’m happiest when I’m working.

C: Oh~

R: Really really.

C: I feel the happiest when I’m working too.

R: (laughs). Okay so it’s like that. We’ll be waiting for more keywords. That’s all for Hey Say Talking.

C: Now listen to one song. Hey Say JUMP’s

JUMP stayed on top, OVER is relevant
As we rejoiced with JUMP's OVER sales yesterday, I am bringing to you their sales for today!





Total sales: 1st: 113,554; 2nd: 56,961 = 170, 515

Although it dropped almost half of it's previous sales, it's still doing good. It's pretty good compared to their last single, we all know that. Let's hope for 250K in their 1st week! o/

Ryuu's Blog

O Month, X Day
The “butatama” that my friend fried for me was super good!
I went to have okonomiyaki with my friends. I’m a “have-someone-fry-it-for-me” person, so I got my friend to fry it for me, the common pork and onion was super good! We also had monja, but both were just the best!

O Month, X Day
First time seeing Yoshimoto Shinkigeki
I went to Osaka to watch the Yoshimoto Shinkigeki with my grandpa and them. I love comedy, and my first time watching Shinkigeki was so funny that it was touching. It made me think that live stage is the best.

O Month, X Day
Concentrating at concert rehearsal
We had rehearsal for our concert. This time, we want to show a fancy performance, so I concentrated for about 5 hours! I want people who watch our stage to gain lots of spirit, so I’ll also do my best!

O Month, X Day
Saving electricity at home currently
When I’m at home, I try to save electricity. I also just light up one light in my room, an of course I don’t turn on the air conditioner. Electricity that we don’t need to use, we properly unplug them. It’s because I think that it’s important to do what I and my family can do, even if it’s something small.

O Month, X Day
Card game with Shintaro
Today, I played a card game with my little brother, Shintaro. Shintaro said, “Let’s play a game together,” so I played with him ne (laughs). I’m also strong at card games, so I definitely won’t lose! (laughs)

O Month, X Day
Not enough sleep from enjoying DVDs
Losing my sleep time, I watched about 6 hours of DVD. Things like famous anime, and heroes that fight for public safety as their motto, hero squadrons, anyhow, it’s just interesting that I was immersed in it and didn’t get enough sleep (laughs).

OVER!

OVER MIGHT BE JUMP'S BEST SINGLE
we don't know whether the sales is because of THAT or our boys is just perfectly amazing. i chose to believe the latter.

OVER IS JUMP'S HIGHEST SALES for singles FOR THE FIRST DAY. we still don't know if this will sell nice for the rest of the week.
btw. IT'S 113554. MAYONAKA NO SHADOW BOY no. their debut song UMP didn't even sell that high.
BUT I'M SO HAPPY FOR THIS AND PLEASE CONTINUE SUPPORTING JUMP. ;'D

Ryu's Incident

- There's an official announcement to independently suspend all his entertainment related activities caused by his underage smoking.

- Ryutaro was admitted himself that he has smoked several times in the past due to his curiosity.

- According to the [Shukan Josei] which is the magazine that reported about his smoking, Ryu has smoked openly in the public places such as toilets and outdoors.

- Another person who accompanied with him at that time also warned him not to smoke by saying "It's going to be in trouble if you were caught.", but Ryu ignored that by saying "It's okay. It's okay." Finally, this caused him an independent suspension

- Ryutaro hasn't been dismissed from the Johnny's entertainment yet. But it might be hard for his return as a group activity. (or in other words, it might be hard for him to return as Hey! Say! JUMP member.)

- [OVER] single well be released on 29th as scheduled, without any replacement of the cover since it has already distributed.

- The programs that have already recorded, TV Tokyo's [Yan Yan JUMP] and Fuji TV's [Hey! Hey! Hey!] which will be broadcasting on 2nd and 4th July respectively are still under discussion whether they are going to postpone them or continue broadcasting.

- Also for the Ultra Power radio program and his CM contract under Lotte (Lotte Plus X Fruitio), under discussion

- Ryu is not allowed to participate in [Summary].

- So from now on, Hey! Say! JUMP activities will continue with only 9 members.

- There's a possibility for him to be dismiss from Johnny's, and this will depend on his behavior during his suspension.

- Full text Fax from Johnny's entertainment (not 100% accurate though, i'm too tired to translate all these in detailed)

"Today, in response to the report, we've checked the truth with him and he was admitted himself that he has smoked several times in the past due to his curiosity. He deeply regrets for his mistake. Although, he did it for his curiosity, the underage smoking was prohibited by law, even if the company has always deal with this issue strictly. To take this issue seriously, we decided to suspend his further entertainment related activities independently.

To every fans, we have to apologized everyone for any inconvenience concerning this issue."

June 28, 2011 8:10 am

- Broadcasting (i think it means Ultra Power radio show in this case) will be abruptly replaced by other members (since the current pair is Ryutoro & Yuto pair)

- One of these articles has mentioned about his brand-named wallet (the white Damier patterned Louis Vuitton) which was placed next to him in the small picture that it might be a gift from Johnny-san. since Johnny-san likes to give cars or brand-named goods as a gift for his favorite talents. and it might be possible for Ryutaro to be given that wallet. However, even he is one of Johnny-san's favorite talent, he still can't get away from the punishment.

(uhhuh~ what a good point haha.. but i think Ryu bought that LV wallet himself. :P)

- There's also an article written that Ryu has shocked his fans by present a "Hooligan" image.







UPDATE!

- UltraPower on 27th was replaced by Yamada & Keito's old recording tape (it's like the re-run) instead of current Ryu&Yuto pair.

- UltraPower is now remaining with only 4 member of Hey! Say! 7

- [YanYan JUMP] 2nd & 9th July episodes will be air after replacing all Ryu's cutout scenes with other members of the groups.

- Ryu's appearances in “HEY!X3” & his contract for Lotte's CMs are both currently under review.

Then, two years ago, I said about Inoo-chan that he’s handsome guy in magazines. …I’m so cruel. *smile* (T/N: Yes Dai-chan, you’re total bad boy, making fun of poor random Inoo.) By the way, answers to questions 12 and 13 two years ago, Yabu-kun was probably standing next to me and told me to say it. *smile* (T/N: Oh, what a bad way in denying you are Yabu-kun’s fanboy, when you do what he tells you to…) Answer “study” to question 24, I felt flow of time~.

Popolo: Daichan's Time

Question 1: When you confess to the girl you what would you say?

In this times, I think there are many people who confess over mail, but I would take it upon myself to confess through a letter (laugh). I want to say it like that, but if I can, I want to directly say „I like you, please go out with me!“ straightly and in a whoosh.

Question 2: Today is your first date with your girlfriend. What kind of date would you want to do?

Coincidently in a book I read today „Things not to do on your first date“ were written (lol, what kind of books do you read Dai-chan? xD) Like „watch a horror movie“ or „Go to an all-you-can-eat (restaurant)“ Therefore I will think of a plan that does not apply to that (laugh). Although I say that, of course it will be in the amusement park I like~.

Question 3: After the date, what kind of mail will you send to her?

I will start with „It was fun, ne“ and probably knowing me, I think I would have taken her around here and there the whole day, (so I would send) „Aren't you tired? Take your time to rest today ne“ something like that. Or otherwise I would get excited about todays fun memories. But, you know, rather than mail I think a call would be better. As expected, at the first date you're together for a long time and when you're on your own again, you possibly feel lonely. So if she has time, I think I want to hear her voice.

Question 4: You're fighting and you made her mad. How will you cheer her up?

First I will think of the reasons for the fight. Then if the cause lies with me I will properly apologize, if I have no idea (what the cause is), I will ask my partner. In the end I will say „Why (are we fighting) about such a thing~“ and it would be good if it becomes a funny story/a joke.

Iya, I will tell a joke by any means!

Question 5: You found out your girlfriend lied. What will you do?

There is no reason to cross-examine her, but I would ask for the reason „How about telling the truth?“ (it's 実際のとこ、どうなの？ So it should be something along this lines I think...)

Question 6: The girl you like is right in front of you. How would you appeal to her?

I would try hard to start a talk/a chat!

Question 7: The girl you like made a meal for you, but it doesn't taste good. How would you react?

I won't leave anything and eat it all firmly. I won't say „It doesn't taste good“

Question 8: Among the members, who seems to be the most popular with girls?

Somehow I hope it will be Inoo-chan. I have no reason for it, but doesn't it seems like he's keeping an amazing charme?

Question 9: What part of girls do you think is strange?

Once in a while there are people who hold hands with fellow girls. I don't understand that... Un? But having said all of that, we hold hands too (laugh). Chinen for example comes to sit on laps, so I can't say that I don't understand girls (laugh).

Question 10: What do you want to do to normally express your gratitude to the fans?

A handshaking event. I've got experience from about 2 handshaking event, but I want it to be more slowly so that we can speak to them one by one, a handshaking event where we have time!
