A New Era for Inoo and Keito?!

To celebrate Jump's new single, I decided to make it COAMH week! ....which means I will blog every single day for a week. Whew, can I actually keep this promise?! >W< I hope so!

Anyhoo, the first topic I've chosen is going to be:

**It's Inoo and Keito's Time to Shine!**

BANZAI! Management is now sort of pushing them onto the spotlight. They got so much exposure in the COAMH pv!

Although Yamachii was in front of Inoo, Inoo was still in a prime position....which means that management has either finally realized his potential or that they wanted to separate the 3 most popular members or something else. Inoo's new spot is surprising but what's more surprising is Keito's position.

Keito is the middle between Yuto and Yuya. Since Yuto has a drama, I would assume he would have a prime position (you know for promotion and stuff) but no, Keito's in the center. But....Yuto got to walk down the room with Daiki (which is also an interesting change) instead of just walking alone like Chinen and Yamada did. Anyways, I'm really happy for Keito! He got so much screen time and he was so CUTE! 

I've noticed that Inoo and Keito are shinme (person who dances on the opposite side) when they perform COAMH for sc and tv appearances. When they perform, they get a lot more close ups than before. This is good. Fufufu ^^

In addition, both of them have been more active in appearing on tv. Inoo's being marketed as the Meji graduate, which is good. Good on him for using his university degree to his advantage. He deserves to be known for his hard work. :D 

Keito's being marketed, as usual, as Okamoto's son...which I don't mind but there's so much more to Keito than just being a Johnny's son debut. 

So, overall the impression that I get is that management wants equal coverage of all the members. This is what they should of done in the first place. The strength of JUMP is the number of members and their teamwork. They should do much more individual work, to let the name of JUMP be known.

If Jump wants to gain more fans or survive in this tough market (with new groups popping every second), they need to utilize all of the members. Inoo has a huge huge fan base, especially overseas. Dude, if management gives more screen time for Inoo, they would be so so happy. And Keito, they really should use his English skills more often. Seriously. Think of all the more exposure they could get!!! 

That said, I truly believe that it's time for a new era for Inoo and Keito, not only because they deserve it but because it is essential for the future of JUMP.
