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."

- 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.
