Koichi Domoto’s Change from “Considering Stepping Down” to “Showing by Action” KinKi’s Hesitation Continues Since Rumors of His Exit Two Years Ago
Koichi caused controversy two years ago when he made a statement on his Instagram live suggesting that he was leaving the office. He revealed his displeasure with the ‘Johnny’s Festival’ at Tokyo Dome, which was scheduled to be held on New Year’s Eve in 2009, and criticized the office on his blog.
(A TV station source) “Despite being told by the office that Kinki’s annual New Year’s Day concert on January 1, 2010, would be difficult due to the renovation of the Tokyo Dome, the office announced that the “Janifest,” which was scheduled to be held the day before, would be held as planned.
In his blog, Koichi pointed out that the office was disrespecting the fans who look forward to the New Year’s Day concert every year. This was a clear criticism of the office, and it was unusual for a Johnny’s talent to take such an action.
(A source related to the above mentioned said, “In this insta-live, the following “meaningful statement” was also made.
Kinki will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year. We are talking about a lot of other things, too.
What does “other things” mean? What do they mean by “other things”?
It was said that they were talking about leaving the Johnny’s office. As the exit dominoes continue, Koichi is no doubt dissatisfied with the current situation. He must be thinking, ‘This trouble would never have happened if Mr. Janney (Kitagawa), who put the fans first, were alive.'” Even at a live concert in July 2009, he said, ‘I might have said I’m leaving suddenly tomorrow.'”
In late November 2009, “FRIDAY” directly interviewed Koichi during a stage performance in Fukuoka. When asked about the possibility of his leaving the theater, he replied, “Not at all,
He answered with a smile, “Not at all.
He answered with a smile, “Not at all.
At the press conference on October 8, he did not clearly state whether he was transferring or signing an agent contract, but I am sure his mind is shaken by the information that is updated daily. However, considering the meaning of the phrase ‘bear the cross,’ I think the possibility of signing an agent contract with a new agency has increased…”
However, Koichi also said this at the press conference on August 8.
He said, “Many things change and are suddenly known, so what I say tomorrow may change again, and we are in such a turbulent situation. I don’t think it’s right to say, “That’s why it’s so hard for us,” but rather, “It’s the victims who have suffered the most, so we have to keep that in mind and think about what we can do.
The situation continues to be unpredictable as to what the final decision will be.
