On the 19th, an announcement regarding idol group Hey! Say! JUMP was posted on Johnny's Net. It was announced that they will not be having an arena tour this year. Up until now, the group have repeatedly called for a portion of fans to improve their manners while using public transportation. The situation has not improved, and this is the result.

"A notice to all Hey! Say! JUMP fans.

As you all know, the other day, a notice titled "A Request Regarding Manners on Public Transportation" was published on Johnny's Net.
Through the years, the members have also directly requested for improvement, but based on the lack of improvement regarding inconvenience caused to the general public while travelling on tour, the annual arena concerts the group have held since debut, have been cancelled.
This was an agonising decision for the members, who wished to hold performances all over the country. All members strongly hope to resume their nationwide tour next year."

Then will Kinpuri's, whose fans stopped the Shinkansen, [concerts] also be cancelled? ><

4. [+3146 / -56]
In my opinion, JUMP-wotas are most barbaric among all the Johnny-wotas.
There really are a lot of them who have bad personalities and don't have manners.

5. [+3077 / -14]
Thoughtful of them

Even after they were directly warned, they didn't change.

7. [+69 / -529]
Ehh, you're kidding me
This can happen?

8. [+2256 / -20]
That's good.

9. [+3672 / -40]
Very good. NGT should also cease activities for eternity.

10. [+2830 / -10]
Were they that bad!?

11. [+2308 / -115]
I'm a Tobikko (JUMPer).
This is shocking... I was looking forward to it!
But the manners were really bad.
As a fan, I want to teach them basic human decency.

12. [+1611 / -20]
JUMP fans do have bad manners

13. [+1585 / -258]
I feel like this is an excuse they added later.

14. [+2286 / -15]
I feel bad for the decent fans and the members who had to give up the thing they've been doing every year.

15. [+3415 / -81]
They're all uglies, so the least they could do is have some good manners.

16. [+1970 / -21]
What did they do to the general public?

17. [+2351 / -17]
This is getting pretty big
So it was that bad
There was that thing with Okura too
Extreme fans are abnormal
*Kanjani8's Okura Tadayoshi, stalker fans.

18. [+1894 / -95]
Could this tour cancellation be connected to the rumour that Nakajima's leaving?
*Nakajima Yuto

20. [+1874 / -60]
Now that it's Reiwa, it seems like Heisei JUMP will decline.

21. [+1285 / -117]
JUMP fan here.
I'm sad but the members' safety is most important.

23. [+1324 / -93]
If I had to say, I had the image that Kinpuri fans were worse.

Nothing else could have been done.
For a long time, people have been calling out their bad manners on SNS, but they never improved their behaviour. That's why, while Johnny & Associates' decision is harsh, I think it's a great decision.

[+1013 / -10]
There was also that incident where fans charged at Kinpuri on the Shinkansen
The train had to be stopped. Since the train was delayed, I think those affected should request compensation for damages or submit claims.

[+521 / -106]
Disappear together with Heisei.

[+847 / -14]
That incident with Kinpuri where the train had to be stopped, was awful.
The more fans there are, the more badly behaved fans there are. So it's so bad that even the Johnny's talents have noticed.
At any rate, it's a problem that affects me too, I should be careful as well so I don't cause trouble to the musicians I support.

[+876 / -65]
So far, there have been three Arashi concerts at Sapporo Dome. I've seen tweets about how horrible some fans are when travelling from the airport and train stations.
Fukuzumi Station was littered with garbage.
Incidents like strangers disturbing people, with demands like, "The hotels are all booked so let me stay at your house tonight" have been continuous.

[+555 / -10]
I think this was an excellent decision. Though the well-behaved fans were caught up in it. The nasty fans with bad manners are at fault.


2. [+40444 / -2967]
So that means, because of the portion of fans with bad manners
The countless fans with good manners have to suffer the damage.

[+575 / -7]
Makes me want to see how bad it was, for the concerts to have to be cancelled.

3. [+31094 / -2708]
This is extremely annoying for the well-behaved fans who followed the instructions given by the sponsors and the management.
This isn't just restricted to concerts, for sports games too, rule breakers should be banned from the venue.

4. [+9818 / -108]
It doesn't seem like those fans with bad manners will feel any guilt over this.
It just feels like they're punishing the ones who have earnestly supported them.

[+932 / -1]
If it's them, they wouldn't feel even one micron of guilt.
And then, on SNS, they're going to attack the other people they know are offenders, and spread their names.

[+752 / -2]
I think they'll completely misunderstand, like:
"I wasn't even breaching manners, I was just enthusiastically supporting my favourite band ☆ What's wrong with that?"

5. [+9620 / -108]
I think this is good. I feel bad for the well-mannered fans that were mixed up in this because of the bad fans, but when they don't listen to even the member's requests, nothing else could have been done.

[+440 / -1]
Maybe they were like, "The members are aware of me", so it backfired? lol

6. [+9114 / -127]
For a few years now, the members have been giving warnings on their blogs, "If it keeps happening, we'll have to stop doing live performances". Moreover, at their concert last year, they said in front of fans, "From now on, we're going home by bus, so please do not go to train stations". But even then, the situation didn't improve. The members and fans that followed the rules, continued to be put in a bad position. This is tough for the well-behaved fans but I think they were right to make this decision. Also, this may not be restricted to JUMP -- it may also have a good influence on other groups' fans.

[+1027 / -5]
So this was the outcome. They're too uncivilised.

[+1000 / -4]
I never knew this.
When the talents themselves beg and nothing improves, it's clear that cancelling concerts is the only solution.

[+1145 / -2]
So they said, "We're going home by bus", but fans still waited at train stations.
In other words, they don't believe the members' words, which means their minds have already exceeded the boundaries of a fan. That's scary.

[+816 / -13]
↑ We're going home by bus (prepared in advance), so don't wait at the train station. Even if you go to the train station, we won't be there. You'll just be causing trouble to others, so please don't go there.

Is what they meant, right?
I don't really know, though.

7. [+7579 / -155]
This was a wise decision. Fans of other singers and groups, take heed, this could happen to you. This decision, which Johnny's has made, will have a huge impact on the agencies.
