    Pop singer Akanishi Jin posted a series of warning messages over his official Twitter, threatening to leave Twitter if his fans didn’t stop harassing his friends.

    Akanishi frequently has intimate talks with female celebrities such as BENI, BoA, and Crystal Kay – as his well as his dance crew members Lizzy and Aubree - over Twitter, but a few of his messages appear to have sparked some intense jealousy among his female fans.

    His first couple of tweets regarding the issue were posted on April 11th, where he expressed his frustration in romanized Japanese (Japanese words written using the Latin alphabet). “Among my followers, there are people who’ve been writing offensive things on my friends’ Twitters. I’m sorry, but can you please stop it?“, he tweeted, followed by, “If this keeps going on, I’m going to quit Twitter. It’s offensive.”

    When Japanese fans saw his disguised messages, many began to worry about the singer leaving Twitter for good. Akanishi made sure to reassure his fans, however, when he turned his mood around completely and updated his official Twitter with the English message, “don’t worry ppl i wont quit. just ignore them:). His previous tweets about quitting Twitter were also deleted.

    What do you think about the issue? A serious warning to fans or much ado about nothing?
