Nakajima Kento’s “Yamashita Tomohisa Style” and His Hollywood Challenge

A source at the aforementioned TV station reveals, “Recently, Mr. Nakajima has been eager to work abroad as an actor.

Recently, Mr. Nakajima was very eager to work abroad as an actor. He has been spending his free time studying English. This year, he will appear in “Concordia,” a drama that will be distributed simultaneously worldwide, so I think he will eventually try his hand at Hollywood movies and dramas, using this film as his calling card.

Last December, Johnny’s established a new company, STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, to manage its talent. The company is scheduled to begin operations this spring. It is believed that Nakajima will sign a contract with the new company, although he has left the group. Depending on the form of that contract, Nakajima’s post-withdrawal career path will become clear.

At STARTO, talent can choose between a traditional management contract and an agent contract, and Nakajima will most likely choose the latter. The agent system allows more work to be decided at the talent’s discretion, so he will be able to do more of what he wants to do. It is possible that he will work with STARTO for domestic work and sign an agent contract with a local office when needed when working overseas.

In the past, some of his predecessors have tried this “two-faced” style.

In 1919, there was a time when Tomohisa Yamashita (38), while belonging to the former Johnny’s, signed an agent contract with Westbrook Entertainment, a company headed by Will Smith (55). At that time, it was not so familiar, but with STARTO, more and more talents will work in such a style,” said a source in the entertainment industry.

Will Nakajima be able to create a “Sexy Era” after leaving the group with which he has shared more than 10 years of hardship?
