 The former Johnny&#8217;s office has been hit by a string of talent departures due to the founder&#8217;s sexual misconduct problems. However, many talents left the agency for various reasons even before the issue became public, and after leaving the agency, they have been engaged in various activities, such as moving their activities overseas.

 Hiromitsu Kitayama, who left the agency on August 31, saying, &#8220;I want to make a second life,&#8221; and now belongs to TOBE, which is headed by Hideaki Takizawa, released his long-awaited first single on November 17. The title of the single has been talked about as &#8220;shocking.
 The title of the first single, which fans have been waiting for for more than two months since he left TOBE, is &#8220;Ranshin-RANSHIN-. As expected, fans were puzzled by this, as they could not say it was cool without giving it away. Furthermore, there were even suspicions that the song resembled Snow Man&#8217;s &#8220;Brother Beat&#8221;. The &#8220;Number_i&#8221; logo also bears a striking resemblance to that of a popular band, and it is easy for people to criticize anything TOBE does&#8230;&#8221; (Entertainment writer)

 This is not the first time that the solo activities of &#8220;Quit Janis&#8221; have been controversial. Shibuya Subaru, who left Kanjani Eight in 2006, has been working as a solo artist since leaving the group.&#8217; The jacket of his first album &#8220;Nisai,&#8221; released in 19, was designed with a hand-drawn illustration pasted on the naked lower body of a man.
 On social networking sites, there were many fans who were pleased with his success but could not hide their confusion, saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad he seems to be enjoying himself, but I don&#8217;t know what to think about this jacket,&#8221; or &#8220;The song &#8216;Warewarewareha ningenda&#8217; in the album is exquisite or something. &#8230;&#8230; is very tasteful. Many fans were pleased with their success but could not hide their bewilderment.
 They are artists, after all, so they can do solo work! When they are able to work as solo artists, their tastes and preferences are often reflected in their activities. Especially when it comes to their first single and first album, their feelings must be extraordinary.
 The best thing would be for both the talent and the fans to be happy. &#8230;&#8230;
