 Actor Takuya Kimura boasts overwhelming charisma and has established an unshakable position within the Johnny&#8217;s office. Recently, he revealed on his Instagram page that he had seen a play performed by a junior actor, which drew a surprised reaction from his fans. These days, Kimura is said to be actively involved with young talent from Johnny&#8217;s.

 Kimura updated his Instagram on August 24. He reported that he went to see &#8220;Beetlejuice,&#8221; a musical starring SixTONES&#8217; Jesse, on the same day. He also showed a selfie with a pamphlet, saying, &#8220;Oh no, applause,&#8221; and &#8220;Thank you so much to the staff and cast for all your hard work. Thank you very much~ (original text),&#8221; and paid tribute to those involved in the film.
 In fact, it was rare for Kimura to visit the stage of his juniors, and Japanese fans were impressed because &#8216;I never had an image of Kimura-kun observing the work of his juniors!　Jesse, I&#8217;m so happy for you,&#8217; and &#8216;Jesse, you&#8217;re amazing! The two had co-starred in the 13th serial drama &#8220;Ando Lloyd &#8211; A.I. knows LOVE?
 Kimura also seems to be getting closer to Naniwa-boy Kazuya Ohashi. The reason is that on the August 22 broadcast of &#8220;Odoru, Sanma Goten! Sanma Goten! (Nippon Television Network Corporation) on August 22, Kimura invited Ohashi to dinner and confessed that they communicate via LINE.
 In the program, the theme was &#8220;What got me excited recently,&#8221; and Ohashi said excitedly, &#8220;I got Takuya Kimura&#8217;s contact information. Although they belong to the same office, they had never had a chance to get to know each other before. &#8220;He invited me out to dinner, not for work,&#8221; Ohashi said. There was a meeting that was like, &#8216;Come without hesitation,&#8217; and that&#8217;s where I got his contact information.
 Then the host, Akashiya Sanma, asked, &#8220;Are you really on LINE? He replied, &#8220;That&#8217;s right . I said to Mr. Kimura, &#8220;Let&#8217;s make Johnny&#8217;s more exciting together. I said to Mr. Kimura. He replied, &#8220;Don&#8217;t enliven them. You have to lift them up. I thought that was cool! 　He seemed impressed by Kimura . Among Johnny&#8217;s fans on the Internet,
 I think Kimura&#8217;s comment about &#8220;lifting up&#8221; must have resonated with the younger members of the group. 
 It&#8217;s cool that Takuya Kimura said &#8220;lift up&#8221; instead of &#8220;boost up. 
 When he said &#8220;lift up&#8221; instead of &#8220;enliven,&#8221; it shows his strong will to support the office with everyone.
 This was a topic of conversation.
 Takuya Kimura&#8217;s radio show &#8220;Takuya Kimura Flow supported by Spotify&#8221; (TOKYO FM) has featured other Japanese talents in the past, including members of SixTONES and Snow Man. Each time, fans of the junior members have been impressed by Kimura&#8217;s &#8220;divine response.
 This July, Travis Japan&#8217;s Tatsuya Shimegake, Kaito Nakamura, and Kaito Miyachika appeared as monthly guests. They made their worldwide debut last October with a single for distribution, but there were twists and turns during their Johnny&#8217;s Jr. days, as they missed the debuts of SixTONES, Snow Man, and others, and experienced a samurai training in the United States. Kimura was there to talk about these difficult times, and he was very popular with Travis Japan fans, who said he was a good listener and was kind enough to bring up topics without breaking off the conversation in the middle of a sentence.
 Recently, some media have reported that Kimura may leave Johnny&#8217;s because of the sexual assault case of former president, Mr. Kitagawa. However, as the Ohashi episode shows, Kimura&#8217;s &#8220;love for Johnny&#8217;s&#8221; seems to be stronger than expected. He may be planning to stay on and back up the office with his junior colleagues.
