Masahiro Nakai’s “too kind legend” of “giving a New Year’s gift to Jin Akanishi” and “giving a New Year’s gift to a person he met only once”…The substance of his “too kind legend” that has been passed down from generation to generation.

On February 25, Jin Akanishi and Meisa Kuroki reported on their respective Instagram Stories that they had divorced. Both surprised their fans.

Speaking of Akanishi, on December 17, 2011, his appearance on the talk variety show “Matsumo to Nakai” (Fuji TV), hosted by Hitoshi Matsumoto of “Downtown” and Masahiro Nakai, had just made headlines.

During the program, Akanishi expressed his gratitude to Nakai for “saving his life,” because he had received a New Year’s gift from Nakai through a person after he became independent from the then Johnny’s office in ’14.

He said, “After I became independent, there were people who left me. There were times when it was a little difficult for me. At that time, Nakai gave me a New Year’s gift through someone. （Even though I had quit the office. （He gave me New Year’s gifts for two or three years after that.

I couldn’t thank him at all.

I couldn’t thank him at all. That (New Year’s gift) saved me a lot. It saved me when I was lonely.”

While Akanishi could not stop overflowing with feelings, the shy Nakai said, “Oh, I see,

Oh, is that so?”

Akanishi was very happy to meet Nakai at that time. Akanishi also revealed that he tried to express his gratitude directly to Nakai at the time, but Nakai’s manager turned him down, saying, “Nakai is shy about such things.

The chief manager of “SMAP” at that time was Mr. Michitomo Iijima, the current president of “New Map. Even within the former Johnny’s office, ‘SMAP’ was said to be a separate company, and in fact, there was a separate company headed by Mr. Iijima.

It has been a long time since Johnny’s Jr. stopped backing them for concerts, and there were almost no junior visitors until Mr. Iijima took charge of Tokyo Johnny’s Jr. so the two groups were not related to each other at all. I was surprised that he gave a New Year’s gift to Mr. Akanishi, who was the first to leave “KAT-TUN. …… Once again, I was surprised by Nakai’s kindness,” said a sports newspaper reporter who is a member of Janis.

Speaking of his most beloved junior members, “Kis-My-Ft2” is well known.
