Now taking all bets on the reason behind Jun's firing.

I'm going with "dead hookers." Suspected but unproven, of course. Always kept a bit hush-hush, good cause to keep a visa denied. What's your guys' thoughts?

Many paraphilias + many drinky drinks

"Is he doing that anal vore bullshit again? He promised to keep that shit on Pixiv!"
"Why is there cat litter on his feet?"
"For fuck sake, he won't stop texting "I'll cuck ya, m8!"
"HANDHOLDING?! SHIT'S NASTY BRUH"

[quote="SteppinLoud"]: "Jun, your power-stance may amuse the masses, but I've been bobbing my head around since heads have been able to be bobbed. You're done son."

This is fucking gold

He was a huge otaku. Always missing rehearsals because he was caught up reading copious amounts of dirty, nasty K-On! doujins and obsessively buying and trading rare Amiibos

Y: Hey, Suzuki. What're you doing?

S: Ehh.! NOTHING!... nothing. *quickly crams magazine in duffel bag*

Y: Hey what was that?

S: What was what? *nervous*

Y: In your bag? *walks over, pulls out magazine*

Suzuki was over come with grief, how could he face his fellow bandmates, after Yamanaka had discovered his filthy porn obsession. His duffel bag that was nearly bursting with hundreds of dirty magazines, had been compromised.
The look of disapproval on Yamanaka's face told him all he needed to know. His time with the pillows, had come to a close.

I had no idea Jun was such a sleazy bastard! I'm glad to hear that troublemaker is gone. Maybe now Sawao can finally focus on his singing lessons.

Are we just going to ignore the fact that indifferentorgasm has these ridiculous photos of Sawao??? One with an AV Idol magazine!!!

You can thank Jun for posting them to his blog. I've been waiting so long to post these.

"Jun, if you post one more of those unflattering photos I swear to god I'm going to plant cocaine in your bag and call the cops on you."

"lol whatever Sawao-kun."

"Shit."

Oh, just found out about this today. Damn, didn't see that coming.

[quote="Marekenshin"]
I mean, I like Jun's bass quite a lot. And for a lot of people, especially Japanese fans who could see them live frequently, Jun was THE bassist for the pillows for as long as they've known the band, so a lot of people are a bit sad about it, especially with it coming out of left field.[/quote]

I'll admit that I am one of those people who are sad about it. I became a pillows fan when he was already the bassist and in every concert I've seen, he was there (except for the 2 SF concerts I attended and the 1st movement DVD). So yeah, for me, Jun was THE bassist. Loved how he played. It always kinda bummed me out that he wasn't included in most PVs, photoshoots, etc. and always remained the "guest bassist." I'd often wonder, how many years does a guy gotta clock in to become a full fledged member?

Sorry this was more of a ramble than a speculation. I'm still just shocked. Reading this thread helps put a fun spin on things though.

Yeah, everyone's humor about the situation definitely helps soften the blow.

That and the undying hope for the glorious return of our Lord and Savior, Kashima Tatsuya-chan.

Kashima's playing bass for them on their July 27th show.

Ooooh, looks like somebody might be getting back together... Everyone tell Kashima and the pillows what a cute couple they make.

Looks like someone's getting back together with their hot ex-boyfriend. They never [i]really[/i] loved Jun. Only strung him along out of fear of being alone.
