For me, this has so much emotion in it. 
Ive been a jrock fan since 2007 (It was Alice Nine’s Jewels that pulled me in) but I had friends who teased me for listening to “such weird music”. I never felt as if I was a part of the group since they would always talk about English music which i had no clue about any of that. 

So in 2008 I stopped listening to Jrock. (Note this: I had just been a Jrockfan for a year!)
I turned on the radio and started listening to what they called “normal music”.
I was finally one of them, I was in the group for real. But you know what, I wasn’t happy. 

But in April 2009 I was searching for something on YouTube when i accidentally opened a video with Alice Nine’s Tsubasa. It was really emotional. And i remember thinking Why am i fooling myself? Why am i trying so hard to be someone I’m not?

With these thoughts in my head I confronted my friends and told them the truth. 
And you know what? That was the best thing I’ve ever done in my whole life! Not only was I true to myself but my friends actually understood and they told me that they didnt care the least if i liked Japanese music. They liked me for being me.

So every time I see this quote 
“If one day, you drift away from us, from our place, we’ll definitely stretch out, grab your hand and pull you back.”
I feel like crying because it’s true and I’m deeply thankful for that their music have shaped me into what I am today.

I think we should all just focus on the fact that Shou says that this won’t change the band in any way and that they shall continue to make the same amazing music and be the same amazing band!
