Actresses playing opposite Johnny’s… “Surprising female” names that will have more opportunities to appear due to the disappearance of “discovery” in casting.

Johnny’s held a press conference in Tokyo on February 2 in response to the sexual assault case of its founder, the late former president, Johnny Kitagawa. The current Johnny’s office has changed its name to “SMILE-UP.” and specializes only in compensating victims. In addition, a new agent company will be established to sign contracts with individual talents and groups. The company also announced that the name of the new company will be publicly solicited by the fan club.

The new company will be named after a fan club. “Agent contracts are common in Europe and the United States, but are not very familiar in the Japanese entertainment industry. Talent who sign a contract can choose their own work, and the new agency only receives a commission. Until now, the talent could simply leave all work to Johnny’s, but the environment has changed, and the talent’s “individual power” is now being questioned.

Until now, Johnny’s has had a great deal of influence over not only the casting of its own talent, but also in the selection of co-stars. This was also revealed in an accusation made by Akira Kuramoto, 88, a scriptwriter known for the drama “Kita no Kuni Kara” (Fuji Television Network).

In an article in Zaikai Online published on September 24, Kuramoto wrote, “Some years ago, when I tried to cast an up-and-coming actress in a TV program, the TV station asked me to wait.

The TV station apologetically told me that the actress had had a bit of trouble with a Johnny’s celebrity and threatened to pull all Johnny’s-related talent from your station if I used her, and that’s why I couldn’t use her. I was stunned by their arrogance,” she revealed.

It is a well-known fact that the actresses who were used to play opposite Johnny’s celebrities had to be “courtesan actresses” who satisfied the wishes of former honorary chairman Mary Kitagawa, who had passed away. As Mr. Kuramoto testified, he was not allowed to have any relationships with Johnny’s celebrities, former relationships, or actresses photographed by weekly magazines or photo magazines.

Although the restrictions were loosened in the later years of Mr. Merry’s life, Johnny’s gave top priority to using actresses who were unlikely to develop a romantic relationship for the sake of their own talent’s fans.
