Good evening,
feel_the_fate! Wanted to do an official post abut this to clear lots of things up, hope you all don't mind how long this is ):
So, I'm sure that some of you guys have already heard about the whole drama that's started since the beginning of this year's live tour concerning the new female dancers. In a nutshell, Keita and the two female dancers did some really suggestive choreography at both of the opening yokohama pacifico shows, and a good number of the fans at the show (
not all of them), angered, responded by booing, consequently booing the boys as well. The energy in the venue was also extremely low compared to past opening shows, something that the staff calls "a first in w-inds.history".
The boys were also extremely bothered by these happenings. Ryohei, the usual stoic leader, has even blogged about how exhausted, tired, and stressed out they are at the beginning of a tour, an absolute first (

Then, people started wondering what would happen to the girls, the choreography, and the show because of the fans' displeasure. There have been multiple discussions going on as well~ Today, at the first kawaguchi show, we got our answers:
1. The girls, Sumire and Mio, are still part of this summer's tour,
2. however, all choreography between the boys (mainly keita) and the two girls have been completely changed. Now, the choreography does not bring them into contact at all and does not insinuate that there is some sort of relationship.Thanks to
kirari and
dash_ignition's translations of achi's, one of the w-inds.' dancers, blog and another concert report, we know these things for sure. Huge, huge thank you to them for letting me post up their translations! Please, please read them if you'd like (:
( + anonymous con report )( + achi's blog posts )So, if anyone has any comments or opinions, please feel free to go and discuss in the comments!
