Canadians first, Fangirl’s second.

A few messages from the mods of canada_johnnys  in regards and response to Sho's arrival in Vancouver:

Now that the main gong-show is over; I hope we Canadian fangirls can take this experience and learn from it. If any of us see him this week, show a better image to Sho than the screaming/mobbing ones did today. It was a very disappointing spectacle from the sounds of things. =\

The whole world is watching Canada and Vancouver now - the games have officially started - so it’s only justified to ask that we Canadian Johnny’s Fans act as Canadians first and as fangirl’s second.

I ask in the future that all fans in the Vancouver area (that may or may not see Sho again) to keep those words in mind. Self-control shows respect and it shows pride as being a Canadian first and a fangirl second.

We want Sho to leave Canada with a good impression of the Vancouver people and the fans (if he comes across anymore again).

Canadians (barring said "airport fiasco") are a step above the NY crowd! Good to see! Take good care of our Sho-chan please! <3

It's really embarrassing to hear how the airport incident went, very embarrassing.
It's rude and disrespectful and shameful to act in such a way. I can understand people are excited to catch a glimpse of one of their favourite idols, but that's no excuse to act in such a way. Self-control not only shows our pride as Canadians, but also a respect to Sho. Running after his van, pushing past staff and making a huge scene from what it sounds like with all the screaming and shouting...uh, there are much better ways to show him that you love Arashi, really.

Most of the olympic events are pretty much impossible(?) to get into without a ticket, so hopefully he'll be able to do his job without too much interruption for the most part.

And hopefully fans will take in your words and be a bit more quiet for Sho's departure.
