 The Twitter feed is marked &#8220;#TOBECONTINUED_03&#8221; with an image of a pink ball placed on it, which further seems to indicate that a new talent is expected to join.

 Meanwhile, the exodus of talent from Johnny&#8217;s continues unabated. The &#8220;sexual assault problem&#8221; has spread to become a social issue, and there is little hope that the turmoil will ever be resolved. A major advertising agency official tells us what is going on.
 Takuya Kimura (50) had been offered the role of the image character in a commercial for a high-end men&#8217;s cosmetics by a major cosmetics company, but the company decided to drop the offer after weighing the spread of the sexual assault issue and the unresolved situation. In addition, a commercial for a dressing featuring Shingo Murakami (41) of &#8220;Kanjani Eight&#8221; also disappeared.
 The issue of sexual assault is the most serious charge in Europe and the United States, and foreign sponsor companies quickly blanked out their contracts with Johnny&#8217;s. Similarly, sponsors of cosmetics and beverages, whose image is of paramount importance, also take the same stance as foreign companies and have suspended the release of their commercials one after another.
 The advertising industry continues to be troubled by the replacement of Japanese celebrities&#8217; commercials with blank ones. An advertising agency official continues, &#8220;A former prosecutor general and a psychiatrist are among those who have been suspended.
 Although the Johnny&#8217;s office has set up a &#8220;special team for the prevention of recurrence&#8221; with members including a former attorney general and a psychiatrist, there has been no concrete official announcement or opinion yet. Such a move could be seen as negligence, and the public&#8217;s reaction to it is only growing.
 TOBE&#8221; is on the rise, while Johnny&#8217;s is showing no signs of resolving its various problems. What will happen to the two companies in the future? &#8230;&#8230;

 IMPACTors" is also moving to join "TOBE". The official announcement will be made as early as the 14th. Meanwhile, the outflow of talent from Johnny's continues unabated. One of the reasons for this is the successive withdrawal of commercials from the market.

Johnny’s is not stopping the exodus of talent as commercials are being suspended one after another.
