<p> In early March, Kyohei Takahashi (24) of &#8220;Naniwa Danshi&#8221; was onstage at the opening day greeting for the movie &#8220;My Home Hero&#8221; at Marunouchi Piccadilly (Yurakucho, Tokyo).</p>
<p> That night, Takahashi enjoyed yakiniku (barbeque) with leading actor Kuranosuke Sasaki (56) and others. But his night did not end there. &#8230;&#8230; After the breakup, Takahashi went to Roppongi alone to a bar that had been a favorite of the older members of the old Johnny&#8217;s group.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> It was 4:30 in the morning when Takahashi left the bar. He said goodbye to his three male friends, who had probably joined him in the bar, with a salute, and got into a cab. Next time, I would love to see him in the same pose as a &#8220;prince character&#8221; in a stage costume. &#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p> Mihoko Yamada, a broadcaster and columnist, said of the appeal of &#8220;Naniwa Danshi&#8221;: &#8220;It is truly a &#8216;prince&#8217; type of show.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> They are the very definition of a &#8220;prince-type&#8221; idol group. In other words, they are the idols who look best in prince-like outfits. They all have sparkling eyes and dance perfectly, but they are not overly muscular. They all have sparkling eyes and dance perfectly, but they are not overly muscular from working out, and they all maintain their &#8220;cute&#8221; appearance. All of them can also talk and put comedy on top of their talk.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> They entertain the fans from all directions. It is the same for all groups at the beginning. But as their careers progress, they develop a more hard-core image, or become more and more like hard-core artists. However, they still have the same &#8220;cute&#8221; and reassuring image. It is no exaggeration to say that they are now the last of the prince groups, even if they are not categorized as Kansai-style idols.</span></p>

<p> FRIDAY has been keeping an eye on &#8220;Naniwa Danshi&#8221; since they visited Tokyo to perform on stage in 2001, before their debut as &#8220;Kansai Johnny&#8217;s Jr. I have seen Ryusei Onishi&#8217;s sparkling smile that charmed me while on location for a drama and Kazuya Ohashi&#8217;s cute appearance at the first pitch ceremony of a professional baseball game. &#8230;&#8230; Expectations are growing for their activities, which are becoming more sparkling with each passing year of their careers.</p>
