Accelerating transfers…Charismatic Hideaki Takizawa’s “TOBE” is expanding its power…Complicated thoughts of “remaining disciples and quit Janis”.

TOBE” has been in full swing since July 2, when former “V6” member Ken Miyake (44) and former “King & Prince” member Shiyoh Hirano (26) announced that they would join the group. It has now become the eye of the typhoon in the entertainment industry and is having an impact on its surroundings, large and small.

One of the “pioneers of quitting Janis,” Hitoshi Akanishi (39), has been the center of attention.

He indirectly declared war on Takizawa by saying on social media, “I really want to go back to Johnny’s.” Akanishi is good friends with Takizawa. There were rumors that he would join Takizawa, but he himself categorically denied it. It is because his rival Takizawa has launched “TOBE” that he wants to return to his old home, which is hostile to Takizawa, and sell himself highly” (source from a TV station).

If Akanishi returns ……

Akanishi is still very popular and admired by the current Johnny’s. He is also a member of “Sexy Zone’s” Kikugoro, and has been a member of “Kikugoro” since its inception.

From popular members such as Fuma Kikuchi (28) of “Sexy Zone” and Daiga Kyomoto (28) of “SixTONES” to teenage Jr. It is also cool that he made it big as a “quitting jani.

With Johnny’s in turmoil due to the exodus of talent, if Akanishi were to come back to Johnny’s, there would be many talents who would step up to the plate. Matsumoto Jun (39) also visited Akanishi’s recent concert, and he has deep under-the-sea connections with the current talent affiliated with the company.

However, there is one man who will be left behind if Akanishi joins Johnny’s. He is Ryo Nishikido (38), a former member of “Kanjani Eight.

Nishikido left the office because he admired Shibuya Subaru (41) and Akanishi.
He and Akanishi have also worked together on You Tube distribution and other projects. When his partner returns to his old home, which he left because he didn’t like it, Nishikido, who has only just quit, cannot keep up. He will be removed from the ladder.

Among the “quit-jani” of the same generation, the only one who has a chance of joining “TOBE” is Tomohisa Yamashita (38).

Yamashita Tomohisa (38) is the only one of his generation who has a chance of joining TOBE. He made some inroads overseas, but his growth was sluggish. Speaking of Yamapo, he has been good friends with Takizawa since their days in Johnny’s. Last year, he starred in an NHK drama, and I think he will try to use “TOBE” as a springboard to once again make Japan his main battlefield.
