Apparel brand is doing very well… “Entrepreneur” Tatsuya Yamaguchi and Tomoya Nagase, who lives for his hobbies, may “return to TOKIO

When Shigeru Johjima, Taichi Kokubun, and Masahiro Matsuoka established “TOKIO Inc.”, albeit an affiliate of Johnny’s, it was thought that it would be a receptacle for Yamaguchi to return to show business, but after Yamaguchi had a drunken driving accident in September of the same year, the talk of joining forces faded away.

However, in May of last year, Kokubu launched a new company, TOKIO-BA, with no capital from Johnny’s as president. This made it easier for both Yamaguchi and Nagase to rejoin TOKIO, but….

I wonder if Yamaguchi-kun will find a place that will readily accept him back into the entertainment world, or if he will be able to perform well even if he comes back. I have heard that he has no intention of returning to the entertainment business since he himself has made up his mind to start his own business” (an executive of a well-established entertainment professional).

Nagase’s Instagram page is a parade of photos of him riding his Harley, playing guitar, and fishing. Nagase’s Instagram feed shows him living a freewheeling life. Although it seems that his only work is his band activities, he is actually developing a fashion brand “Challenger” based on the concept of “American Garage,” and its sales are booming.

He is actually developing a fashion brand “Challenger” based on the concept of “American Garage,” and sales of the brand are booming. If he is so eager to be free to do whatever he wants, he would not think of returning to a troublesome place with many ties. Even if the company is not related to Johnny’s, TOKIO is still Johnny’s group. Well, I don’t know what will happen 10 years from now, but I guess they don’t want to be associated with Johnny’s anymore after all the problems that have erupted.

Fans have been longing for the day when the five members of TOKIO will appear together, but it does not seem to be that easy.
