NEW YORK — New York State Republican Party leaders voted unanimously Friday to disband an organization promoting younger members following POLITICO’s exclusive report on a Young Republican group chat filled with racist and antisemitic rhetoric.

The executive committee of the state party suspended the authorization of the younger arm to operate at a statewide level. Leaders have signaled the step makes way for a fresh start.

Arashi has officially announced that they will end activities

Throughout my teenage years, I was told that J-pop was a phase. That my adoration for Arashi (and a few others like KAT-TUN...) would be fleeting. But Arashi, they helped me, they saved me, they are part of the safe haven groups that allowed me to have moments of joy during a complicated period.

Yes, the way I express my love for them has changed because I was a teenager and now I'm almost 30. But I still listen to them every day.

It wasn't a phase!

It's been at least 15 years since I discovered Arashi. They were my first dramas, my first drama OSTs, one of my first J-pop groups, my first Japanese actors, and so many other things. Even though the music industry (especially Johnny's) is a little better than before, they deserve to continue their own lives after all these years of loyal service.

Thank you, Arashi, for all these years, you'll continue to be my soul ❤️
