Takuya Kimura, who signed a contract as an agent after “Johnny’s” disappeared, “has no backing,” but this is a positive thing.

Johnny’s, which has been in an increasingly difficult position due to the revelation of the “NG list,” has changed its name and “disappeared. However, it will be some time before all the issues related to the “sexual assault” of Mr. Kitagawa will be resolved.

In the meantime, the departure of “Mr. Johnny’s” Takuya Kimura is attracting attention.

In the October 5 issue of “Shukan Bunshun,” it was reported that Kimura was not only opposed to Johnny’s’s name change until the very end, but that he was also planning to become independent.

The office subsequently issued a comment saying, “All of the information contained in the report is untrue.

The office later released a comment saying, “All of the information in the article is untrue. The Johnny’s’s office is known for not commenting on such reports in the weekly magazines, but they must have been very angry.

The reason is that when the report came out, it was as if they were saying, “We’re not going to comment on this,

“Is he going to betray us again, just like he did when SMAP broke up?

When the report came out, the Internet was flooded with comments treating him as a “traitor,” such as, “Will he betray us again?

If he is seen not only as a traitor, but also as a “worldly-wise” person, his image will surely be damaged. He would never make the same mistake again, so it is hard to imagine him committing such a foolish act.

In the first place, there is no reason why he should leave the office at this point in time. The “Johnny’s” office will disappear. …… Even if they keep quiet, all of their talents will temporarily cease to belong to Johnny’s and become freelance.

In the case of Mr. Kimura, if he leaves now, he will be accused of being ungrateful and a traitor not only by anti-Kimutaku fans but also by his fans. I’m sure he is well aware of that.

Kimura also has a mentor in Shizuka Kudo. The “Bunshun” report says that Shizuka consulted with the show business don, but it is hard to believe that the “smart” woman would encourage Kimura to leave the group.

In fact, in a statement from the office denying the “Bunshun” report, it says

We are extremely distressed that such an article has appeared while we were planning to sign an agent contract with a newly established company as soon as it is ready.

The statement indicates that Kimura is certain to sign an agent contract with the new firm.
