Yesterday, Nikkan Sports reported that, Akanishi Jin (28) will restart activity in August this year, with the release of a new single penned by him. It will be 1 year and 5 months since his previous release, Japonicana.
(Full Article here)
It didn't take long for Japanese netizens to give their views on the fame idol of Johnny's & Associates. Below you can see their reaction, their excitement and disdain for the revival of Akanishi's career. Unsurprisingly there are comments on his relationship with Yaguchi Mari who was recently tied with him after her multiple affairs while married was revealed.

Will buy this... NOT

Just do your stuff in America
9： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:28:37.18 ID:w1CR/AVf0
Did you have fun with Yaguchi?
10： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:28:47.43 ID:6//nBItt0
He's still around? I guess he won't disappear that easily because he's with Johnny's after all.
11： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:28:52.77 ID:691mR1d30
Who?
14： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:34:04.62 ID:4gVpBlt1O
I just can't get that image of the Eternal copy & paste template out of my mind
15： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:35:03.32 ID:dSQ90vCQO
And something really is wrong because this guy still gets #1 in the charts
18： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:38:43.45 ID:IDzaGAEk0
So is his probation period over?
20： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:41:25.44 ID:qB4ThbHUO
I wonder if he'll release it in Japan
21： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:41:45.52 ID:cpLDwh7lO
Won't he be coming back to KAT-TUN?
Nakamaru's the only one I've been seeing recently.
22： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:43:45.34 ID:Tu+efGyRO
So he isn't getting fired?
I hope he disappears soon.
23： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:45:22.59 ID:977JvNBt0
Who needs this guy?
24： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:46:57.00 ID:3Al5aTeu0
I actually rate him highly among the guys in Johnny's after leaving his group.
The wotas will still buy his single, that's his "Eternal" with his fans.
25： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:47:01.43 ID:Gw8hAa0E0
He's already 28. He should just focus on being a stay-at-home dad.
26： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:48:17.82 ID:kUKgW4wv0
Oh, so it's the person who's desperately trying to get off-track even though the people around him are getting him on the right one.
30： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:51:04.88 ID:Bh9v8llzO
What was the drama that he was supposed to star in?
33： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:54:33.95 ID:r60Fpm/X0
>>30
Wasn't it GTO?
Hey, where's the Eternal copy & paste template?
34： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 06:54:38.22 ID:GzlVufj60
I've been a fan even before he made his debut, but I'm not really going insane.
He did say that he wanted to get married and have a kid.
I've already gotten used to Jin pushing us fans around.
He's that kind of a man, but I like him so it can't be helped.
Jin is the unconvential type too.
Meisa should just support his private life.
Because we'll be supporting Jin's Music=Soul.
And that soul will be handed down to my children, then from my children to my grandchildren.
That's how my DNA will blend in with Jin's.
That's the "Eternal" between Jin and his fans.

Everyone seems to be enjoying this but I think a lot of people don't know that Eternal is Akanishi's song
39： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:00:18.03 ID:IUhj5JSW0
So he can't get fired yet since they invested a lot in him, so he has to return the favor first, huh
42： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:06:50.79 ID:FPj9PvxXO
But hasn't he lost a lot of fans already?
43： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:08:23.24 ID:mwFKFYcU0
Are there still fans who buy CDs?
48： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:11:46.51 ID:9R2Uz/X8O
Don't look down on his fans
68： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:44:03.40 ID:uovxhTnHO
>>48
But the fans themselves show how foolish they are and go out buying tons of CDs, right?
51： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:13:17.37 ID:cIVwvbETO
Must really be an advantage if you've got good looks. He won't disappear as long as Johnny-san still likes him.
54： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:15:41.55 ID:pk1EVwnz0
Oh, the guy who dropped Meisa's value.
58 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 07:28:08.57 ID:X1fFByAn0
New song: Yaguchi forever
59： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:28:24.48 ID:tXIOZWKZO
Now I just laugh whenever I see the Kanji characters of his name
62： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:36:29.79 ID:YzN5vz6GO
Johnny's members who aren't in groups
Kenichi Okamoto
Atsuhiro Sato
Koji Uchiumi
Jin Akanishi
Toma Ikuta
Tomohisa Yamashita
Shunsuke Kazama
Hiroki Uchi
63： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:38:51.15 ID:GzlVufj60
>>62
Include Jun Hasegawa there
64： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:39:37.94 ID:GzlVufj60
Or so I thought, but Mizuki Sano and HaseJun are still in Jr.
65： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:42:08.48 ID:Sq35gri50
Oh the Eternal fellow LOL
How nostalgic
67： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 07:43:19.50 ID:YzN5vz6GO
Are Kazama and Uchi in Jr.?
75： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 08:04:17.14 ID:RLXV6HwY0
>>67
Those 2 are in Jr.
Ikuta didn't make his debut, but was a Jr. graduate for some reason.
I think they should just let Kazama graduate, regardless of that scandal.
76： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 08:06:44.15 ID:SMEQ9G1i0
I really don't get why he's still being treated as an ikemen.
The hosts at Kabukicho look much better than him.
77： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 08:07:05.04 ID:yrzSpPvOO
I always wonder why Johnny's don't fire their talents even if they're frozen out.
Could it be because it'll be troublesome if they move to other agencies?
79： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 08:30:09.45 ID:1NAqRPBl0
I don't think idols who have kids are still in demand anymore. He's already got a bad personality in the first place.
86： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 08:49:36.85 ID:K/6Ryk5KO
He should get divorced and sing again with Kame.
KAT-TUN is on the decline.
87： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 08:50:37.62 ID:kziu25c80
I really can't understand why someone like this who just does what he wants to gets to release a song, while Tackey and Tsubasa who're doing their best haven't even released a song for over a year now. This agency sure is weird
88： 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/06/23(日) 08:52:39.26 ID:njNiGNhw0
>>87
I saw Tsubasa on Fushigi Hakken yesterday, his hairline was receding in an M-shape.
137 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 12:23:40.34 ID:jmN1UKQEO
I loved him when he was still in KAT-TUN.
That feeling cooled down already, though.
153 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 13:10:20.07 ID:bOj7EZKZO
It's like we're now importing him after he made his break in the US
154 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 13:11:27.68 ID:aKJJpWH80
Break in the US. Are you delusional or something?
159 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 13:35:03.57 ID:WlU0spuU0
KAT-TUN were blessed with songs when Akanishi was still there
172 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 15:13:19.43 ID:ztoVjvU1O
I wonder if there are reporters who'll ask about Yaguchi during his presscon
174 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 15:27:55.28 ID:wwmuMrxv0
Akanishi and Meisa's baby
181 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 15:58:38.60 ID:bOj7EZKZO
He's a good singer
188 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 16:32:40.66 ID:r5lWJz+N0
Johnny-san sure is kind
192 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 16:39:07.19 ID:h0oQUOO90
In Japan? He's got a baby now so he won't be going overseas?
What a waste.
255 ：名無しさん＠恐縮です：2013/06/23(日) 21:01:00.21 ID:+/lRJVUz0
The song in which he collaborated with a foreigner was cool though
