Johnny’s WEST’s Takahiro Hamada and golf…Why Takuya Kimura is rapidly approaching his junior after SMAP’s breakup.

Former SMAP member Takuya Kimura is breaking new ground as an actor by starring in the April season drama series “Kazama Kochin: Kyobo 0” (Fuji TV). In this film, he shows gray hair, a different image from his idol days, and plays a cold-hearted criminal instructor who never smiles. Although his character is strict, Kimura himself is said to have shown a “divine response” to his co-star, Takahiro Hamada of Johnny’s WEST.

On April 6 Kimura posted a two-shot photo of himself and Hamada on his official Instagram page, saying that they had enjoyed a round of golf and that “Hamada-kun was a quick study of the dojo today. Hamada plays the role of Shinichi Tanimoto, a detective in the investigation department of the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Headquarters, in Kyobo 0.

Hamada, on the other hand, talked about his golf outing with Kimura on the radio program “Johnny’s WEST Mogitate Sekiju” (Radio Kansai), which aired on January 23. Kimura is a senior member of the Johnny’s office, so I thought, “I’d like to know his contact information. I’d love to know (his contact information),” but he couldn’t say it out loud. Then, while they were having lunch, Kimura-san said, “Hamada,” and pulled up his cell phone screen and gave me his contact information,” he said happily.

Soon after that, on a day when he happened to be off shooting a drama, Kimura asked if I was free, and we decided to go golfing. He was so nervous that he does not remember the details of their conversation during the round,

He told me, “He watched how I hit the ball. He told me to try it this way. I did that, and the ball went straight into the hole. I was like, ‘Oh, my God! I was like, ‘Oh my God, teacher! I was like, “Oh, my God! And if I was running in a hurry, he would tell me, ‘It’s okay, just take your time. Thank you very much!　I love you! I almost said, “I love you! （That’s how gentle he was. He was different from Kazama-san.

I’m not like Kazama-san,” Hamada said excitedly. The commemorative photo that appeared on Kimura’s Instagram page was taken after he asked Kimura to take a picture with him. He was really nice to me,” Hamada said,

He’s really kind. He’s a nice guy. He was also very attentive to the extras on the set. Seeing him like that, I learned that people who play leading roles are really great. I’m learning from watching him (laughs).

(Laughs).” He was very complimentary of Kimura’s response.

Kimura has exchanged contact information with KAT-TUN’s Kazuya Kamenashi and Kis-My-Ft2’s Taisuke Fujigaya, with whom he has appeared in dramas in the past. In recent years, he has been fond of Kazuya Ninomiya of Arashi, a cast member of the movie “The Prosecution” released in 2006, and Kaito Takahashi of King & Prince, who appeared in the drama “10 Counts to the Future” (TV Asahi) starring Kimura, which aired last year. Takahashi has given Kimura “hand-me-down” clothes and has even been invited to Kimura’s home. He has also taken Ikuto Kawai of A.B.C-Z, who respects Kimura, fishing with him, and has grown closer in recent years.

In this way, Kimura is adored by many of his juniors. We hope that they will continue to influence each other and make Johnny’s more exciting in the future.
