The drama of “Kimpli’s” withdrawal…Retirement, Hideaki Takizawa, “The true face of the drastic change from idol”.

Tackey and Shiyoh Hirano and ……. Johnny’s is a constant stream of outflows.

First, on November 1, Hideaki Takizawa, 40, aka Tackey, announced that he had stepped down as vice president of Johnny’s Office and president of its affiliate, Johnny’s Island. Then, on November 4, it was announced that Shiyoh Hirano and three other members of “King & Prince” would be leaving the group and leaving the company. Some people thought that Tackey might be aiming for the next stage of his career, such as going overseas with Hirano and the other members.

If so, will this “ambition” be successful?　To find out more about Takizawa’s production skills, we spoke with people involved in the entertainment industry.

The story ends too soon. ……

Needless to say, Takizawa was once a very popular idol known as “Tacky. After that, he moved to the management side of the agency and began to appear at live performances and interviews as the “seller” of talent. When his position changed in this way, the interviewers were astonished at his transformation.

I had interviewed Tackey many times when he was an idol. I have interviewed Tackey many times when he was an idol, but to be honest, he was a difficult person to interview. He never said anything thoughtful at all.

It was not that he had a bad attitude or that he did not want to answer because he did not want to reveal his privacy. It’s just that he was kind of absent-minded, and no matter what I asked him, he would just say, ‘Well, nothing in particular,’ or, ’00 was good, wasn’t it?

But later, when I saw him at a live concert of his junior colleagues, he looked like a different person.

He looked sharp and tight as he went around greeting the people involved. He seemed to be conversing without tact, and even burst out laughing a little. I was surprised that he could talk like this.
