I think it is the work of a devil” and “the most foolish incident in the history of mankind.

In response to the sexual assault by the late Johnny’s Kitagawa, Noriyuki Higashiyama, 56, the newly appointed president of Johnny’s, condemned the incident at a press conference held on September 7.

Later, Kyohei Iida (35), a former member of “Kis-My-Ft2,” announced that he would join the “Association of Johnny’s Sexual Assault Problem Parties. In addition, Shinichi Kimura, 46, a former Johnny’s Jr. member who was scheduled to join “V6,” has also accused others of sexual assault. According to sources, there is a possibility that even more big-name accusers will come forward.

On January 15, the Johnny’s office set up a “window to receive compensation for damages related to the sexual assault by the late Johnny Kitagawa. The web form for the window lists the following types of sexual assault: 1: oral intercourse, 2: anal intercourse, 3: genital contact, 4: kissing, and 5: other indecent acts.

The establishment of the reception desk will bring to light the reality of the sexual assault by the late Mr. Janie Kitagawa through the mouths of the victims. There were cases where the victims were boys and could not talk to their parents about it, and there were also cases where the victims did not even realize that they had been sexually abused at the time. Now, they can report the damage with their own mouths.

On October 2, the company will make a report on its future operations, including a change of company name, but depending on the nature of the accusations made by the victims, the company may find itself in even more difficult circumstances. However, depending on the nature of the accusations made by the victims, the company may find itself in even more difficult straits.

In many of the previous accusations, the victim was attacked in her sleep at a training camp or the like. I was surprised to hear that there was another victim who claimed, “I was called out during a lesson, and I was raped in the restroom at the venue.

The Jr. lesson venues include studios in TV stations in Tokyo. It would be a big problem if TV station employees and others involved in the lessons over the years had turned a blind eye.

While media silence has been pointed out regarding the sexual assault of the late Janie Kitagawa, the cozy relationship with the TV stations is particularly deep-rooted.

While sponsors are increasingly shifting away from the Johnny’s office, Johnny’s celebrities continue to appear on TV as before. Higashiyama was the MC of “Sunday Live! (TV Asahi), of which Higashiyama was the MC, has not covered the Johnny’s issue since Higashiyama left the show.

He said, “Most of Mr. Janney’s tactics are touching genitals and oral intercourse. He can do it as many times as he wants because he doesn’t ejaculate. Sometimes more than one Jr. would be victimized in a single night, or a single person would be victimized multiple times.

The number of victims is impossible to ascertain because multiple Jr. were victimized in a single day, and that was over a long period of time (*According to the findings of the Special Recurrence Prevention Team, about 60 years from the 1950s to the mid ’10s). I wonder how many more there will be.

Johnny’s holds ample assets, but the number of victims and new victimization testimonies could be fatal if they were to emerge.
