 The time has finally come for Johnny&#8217;s to take down its &#8220;signboard.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Although a press conference was held on September 7 in response to the late Janie Kitagawa&#8217;s sex-abuse issue, the furor continues to escalate. As client companies announced one after another that they were reviewing their contracts, NHK announced on September 27th that it would &#8220;not make any new offers.
 &#8220;We will not make any new offers.
 The bottleneck is a rare possibility.
 The bottleneck is the name of the firm, which is named after a rare sex offender. At an earlier press conference, Noriyuki Higashiyama, the new president, said, &#8220;We are supported by our fans.
 We are supported by our fans. We have made a decision that we should work together as a team to dispel such an image from now on.
 The company&#8217;s name will surely be changed to &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s&#8221; in the &#8220;new organization&#8221; report scheduled for October 2.
 Since the word &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s&#8221; is now taboo, the names &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s Jr.&#8221; and &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s West&#8221; will naturally have to be changed. The name &#8220;Kanjani Eight&#8221; is also expected to be changed because it reminds people of Mr. Janney.

 The name Johnny&#8217;s itself was a super brand. It has now become the root of obstacles to their activities. I never thought this day would come. &#8230;&#8230;
 There are a certain number of Johnny&#8217;s fans who are not only fans of their favorite groups or individuals, but also fans of the Johnny&#8217;s office itself. The timing of the company name change may cause them to quietly leave.
 Even on the Internet, the loss of the company name that people are familiar with
 I&#8217;m going to miss it so much. 
 &#8220;I wish they would keep it even now. 
 I wish they would keep it even now.
 (Music) &#8220;It&#8217;s too sad.
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" What is the &quot;unexpected breakthrough&quot; that remains for Johnny&#39;s in its current predicament..."></div>
Johnny&#8217;s is in turmoil for the first time since its founding. One person who has not been particularly affected by the turmoil is Kazuya Ninomiya of Arashi fame, who has been operating &#8220;as usual.
 As an actor, he appeared in the TBS drama series &#8220;VIVANT,&#8221; which reached its final episode on March 17, and has expressed his desire to appear in the sequel two years later.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 He also has a YouTube channel &#8220;Janino-channer&#8221; with Yuichi Nakamaru (KAT-TUN), Ryosuke Yamada (Hey! Say! JUMP), and Fuma Kikuchi (Sexy Zone), and the number of subscribers is steadily increasing. The number of subscribers has been steadily increasing, finally surpassing the 4 million mark, and the average number of views per video is well over 1 million.
 The channel&#8217;s name has &#8220;Ja ni&#8221; in it, so it&#8217;s not surprising that it has been ordered, but there is no sign of any change. The frequency of video updates has not changed either.
 Although YouTube is operated by advertising contributions from clients, commercials are mostly shown randomly. I get the impression that companies are not as fussy as they are with television.
 A heavy watcher in his 30s commented, &#8220;First of all, the four members get along very well with each other.
 First of all, the four of them get along so well with each other. Just watching them makes me feel relaxed. Kikuchi&#8217;s &#8220;Nakamaru teasing&#8221; is a regular occurrence, and Ninomiya, who sometimes says outrageous things, is great. It&#8217;s also good to see the &#8220;real&#8221; faces of the idols.
 Another female viewer said, &#8220;I like that we get to see the &#8216;real&#8217; faces of the idols. Another female viewer commented
 Another female viewer said, &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s is going through a lot of trouble because of the sexual assaults, but when I come here, I feel relieved. I hope it will continue for a long time.
 I hope it will continue for a long time.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 In addition to commercials, the &#8220;separation from Johnny&#8217;s&#8221; is accelerating on TV and radio as well, and the opportunities for the talents of Johnny&#8217;s are shrinking. The YouTube world opened up by &#8220;Janino-channel&#8221; is one option.
 A representative of a mid-sized YouTube agency said, &#8220;It will take a while until the turmoil is resolved, but I think it&#8217;s a good idea.
 A person from a mid-sized YouTube agency said, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s possible to focus on YouTube for the time being until the turmoil is resolved. Fans want to check up on what&#8217;s going on somewhere, since their media exposure will be reduced all at once. I think there is a great need for this.
 I think there is a great need for it. The day when all Johnny&#8217;s become &#8220;YouTubers&#8221; may not be far off.

 On October 2, Johnny's is scheduled to hold its second press conference. It is believed that the company will be renamed after Mr. Kitagawa, but for some reason, Kazuya Ninomiya's show is the only one that will not be affected. ......

Johnny&#8217;s&#8217;s&#8221; changed its name to the group&#8217;s name as well&#8230;but &#8220;that show&#8221; of Kazuya Ninomiya is still &#8220;unaffected&#8221; by the name change.

Johnny’s’s” changed its name to the group’s name as well…but “that show” of Kazuya Ninomiya is still “unaffected” by the name change.
