Left to Right: Yabu Kota, Yaotome Hikaru, Yamashita Shoon, Ayukawa Taiyo
As of 30th November, Ayukawa Taiyo left Johnny's Entertainment. Rumors are that he quit Johhnys because of the formation of HEY!SAY! JUMP, and also that because he goes to the same school as Yaotome Hikaru and Kota Yabu, Taiyo did not want to attend school after HSJ's formation.
Whether that information about refusing to go to school or not is true, it is certain that Taiyo will no longer be part of Johnny's Entertainment, and HSJ has something to do with Taiyo's decision to leave.

TAIYO~~~!!!!!! -cries- Sometimes I really hate the way Johnny Kitagawa do things. -fume- Like as if splitting Ya-Ya-yah up by putting Hikaru and Yabu in HSJ wasn't enough... now look! Minimal attention shown to Shoon and Taiyo has probably caused Taiyo to become fed up and leave...
Sorry, sorry~ Didn't mean to get angry there. But I can't help it... the four of them has been together as Ya-Ya-yah for so long... since they were mere children (as shown in the picture), and now? I watched them grow up to be who they are now... It's hard not to feel sad and angry.

Although it's not like I blame Johnny for forming HSJ. :D Look at them (points down):

Top row, Left to Right: Yabu Kota, Inoo Kei, Arioka Daiki, Takaki Yuya, Yaotome Hikaru
Bottom row, Left to Right: Morimoto Ryutaro, Chinen Yuri, Nakajima Yuto, Yamada Ryosuke, Okamoto Keito

They look so happy, don't you think? Such a young, cute bunch of lads. XP I hope they go far, especially since this band was formed at the expense of another. -gloom- Besides, everyone in HSJ has special talents, which was the reason why Johnny gathered them together in the first place... There's really no reason why HSJ will fail, though the size of the group is a big problem. (o.O) Ten people is just crazy... I thought 8 in NewS previously was bad, but 10!!

Oh well. That's all for today, I guess...
