Kazuya Ninomiya of Arashi fame has opened his personal Twitter page…Why “fans are constantly worried” despite his increased social networking activities.

Kazuya Ninomiya of Arashi, who opened his personal Twitter account on March 8 this year, has 1,784,000 followers as of May 2, and even casual posts receive many “likes” and retweets. Some users were concerned that he might “identify his home.

Since he started tweeting, Ninomiya has regularly called out to his followers, “Hey everyone! Most of his tweets are harmless, but one sentence on April 16 made his fans cringe.

At 2:10 p.m. on the same day, Ninomiya blurted out, “Hey, it’s hailing,” and about 20 minutes later he wrote, “I went to the balcony to take a picture of the hail, but the balcony was too dirty to care about the hail, so I gave up and just got soaked in the afternoon. In response, several Twitter users responded,

Nino, hail is only falling in some areas, it’s going to identify your house!

I’m glad you’re talking about real time, but be careful about talking about the weather because it could lead to your whereabouts being identified!”

I wanted to take a picture of the hail, Ninomiya-kun. But don’t do it because it would be dangerous if the identification team locates your location based on the sky and hail.

He was concerned about the possibility of the identification team identifying his location from the sky and hail. Although it had been more than a month since the account was launched, the fact that he was not accustomed to using Twitter was evident.

To begin with, Johnny’s is known as an entertainment production company that strictly enforces portrait rights and other rights, and in the past they were reluctant to go online. In the past five to six years, these restrictions have loosened, and the number of individual and group social networking services, including YouTube channels, has been increasing one after another.

On the other hand, there was an incident involving a former member of Johnny’s, Goro Inagaki of the former SMAP, who “got into trouble” on Twitter.

Inagaki, along with former members Tsuyoshi Kusanagi and Shingo Katori, left the office on September 8, ’17, and the three jointly launched the official fan site “New Map” on September 22, and announced the opening of their personal Twitter two days later. They started a new activity that they could not experience in their previous Johnny’s. ……

Inagaki made an ordinary mistake on the night of November 11, when he posted a message with his location information attached. He must have realized what was happening because he immediately received a warning from a fan who told him to delete the location information. After deleting the tweet in question, he wrote, “Thank you for the warning. I’m sorry for causing you concern. I will be careful from now on. I will be careful from now on,” he apologized. He also responded, “I’m really grateful to receive so many comments from everyone at this very moment.

Incidentally, the aforementioned Ninomiya also corrected some of his expressions in response to his followers’ criticisms. In a series of comments on the 5th World Baseball Classic held this March, he referred to Taisei (real name: Oda Taisei), a pitcher for the Yomiuri Giants. He said, “I understand that I am not good enough. I want to give Taisei a good-bye right away” (March 22), some commenters said that “lack of role” in this case was a misuse of the word. The word “insufficient role” can mean “the role given is too light,” and about 30 minutes later, Ninomiya said, “Insufficient power, not insufficient role, was the correct answer!　Thanks to everyone who told me.

We hope that he will continue to entertain many people through Twitter, taking into consideration various aspects such as personal information and the use of language.
