"What makes KT such a cohesive group despite the members' strong opinions and clashing personalities is their mutual goal to rise to the top as KAT-TUN. If the boys all had different goals, given their personalities, I doubt that anyone of them would have remained in the group."
I can't put my thoughts into better words and I have known KAT-TUN since 2007 though only recently decided to participate in the fandom. lol Yes. They all are so different but that one goal unites them. And I actually became a fan more or less around the time Jin had returned from L.A. the first time. I hadn't understood the hype very well at that time. But I saw the group so united and I just fell in love with them.(well I loved Kame first and slowly the rest). He left and came back and yet the group survived and was strong. They I feel are the most honest bunch because they're not afraid to say what they truly feel towards the others and I think that is their charm point. However the dynamics has changed over the past year and a half or so.
"By choosing to go solo he'll be able to tackle his career with all of his potential and at the same time, release KT and allow them to move forward as a 5-member group."
But I am afraid that even if the boys move on, Jin and KT will always be brought up when being mentioned in the press. The action of one could affect the action of the other for now atleast. Even when they promote Jin, they say things like..."He is an ex-member of KAT-TUN" or when Ueda is being interviewed during his concert, he wishes Jin success. I bet with ueda's interview So I think they should both be careful. Especially Jin since he's quite famous for being on friday every now and then.
I feel so much better reading posts like yours. It makes me think people are still rational in our fandom. :)
