Yaaay!

Agree. He looks a bit under the weather to me as well. Hope we are wrong and he feels fine and has fun at his japan concerts (without being or getting sick) This is just horrible...... In my opinion, all these so called fans are not Army!

He may have had to arrive close to his flight time, knowing that Tae was mobbed - TV stations were not notified. And he arrived at arrivals and took the escalator up. He might feel a bit daunted setting off on a tour on his own. At least he has some time between the Japanese cities. HIs brother (and family) and I'd hoped he'd come here, but clearly no time for that. He could come back here for a few days after Osaka, for a break. The Tae mob scene was insane. Wasn't it him who said he even missed the airport experiences while he was in the military? One of them did. Bet that's not the case anymore. I truly do not understand the mentality behind crushing other fans with your phone lifted up to catch - what? the top of his head? I bet he felt nothing but relief when they got into the security line. Hopefully those inconsiderate ARMY will be shamed on social media.

I do think it will be available to us if at all possible, Yuzu tries always to include his international fans

A tweet from one of the airport mob somehow, unfortunately, managed to reach my Twitter timeline. It was definitely a solo, and she was trying to justify the whole scene by saying that "We miss Tae. He needs to know how much he's been missed. He needs to see how much we love him" and she was fighting anyone who tried to correct her. It was a truly frightening level of delusion. I feel bad for Tae having to contend with that.

Is it just me, or does he look a bit unwell? Definitely not as energetic and sparky as he usually is

wtf??? this again, Tae got mobbed at the airport ... those so called fans are just awful ... at least he called them out ...

Yuzu has left a message for everyone on his YuTunes channel I am also hoping that prayers will be answered and that people will be safe from natural disasters and that the recovery efforts will swiftly help those in need

[NEWS] Fantastic announcement about 'The First Skate' A recorded paid stream of the performance will be made available. Purchase details will be announced in the near future. This is truly exciting and has answered the wishes of fans. As Yuzu would say "Please look forward to it" This will give a huge boost to publicity surrounding the opening event and the Xebio Sendai Arena, as well as delighting Yuzu's fanbase. International Fanyus are hoping that the stream will be available for overseas purchase.

Yuzu wearing the 'biker' style jacket and utilising the device from the Persona games, which augments the power of the protagonist by allowing them to channel a supernatural energy

Jin left today, too, for the first leg of his tour in Japan.

Gorgeous!!!

I wondered what the livestream Incheon watch of Tae was about. He'll maybe fly straight from Paris to the states. When I saw that they were waiting for just Tae, I wondered why he'd be flying alone. I would guess most, of not all, the members would lfy to the states at the same time. Maybe Jin's schedule would have him flying at a different time, but I can't think they'd all take separate flights to LA. Looking forward to seeing Tae doing some fashion stuff, though it's for the show, not a photo shoot. He'll still look fine.

First his chest out, now his muscly arms... he's trying to end us, isn't he...
