King & Prince Audio Leak Sparks SixTONES Gossip Scandal

However, there are also requests from fans on social media to ‘identify the person who recorded it,’ indicating the need for further measures in response.” (same source)

 

In addition, there was a leaked audio last October involving what appeared to be a conversation between SixTONES members Juri Tanaka and Taiga Kyomoto from Johnny’s former agency. They discussed their YouTube music video view counts and even vented frustrations about the shooting process on set.

If this audio is authentic, it suggests that, similar to Kinpuri, Tanaka and Kazama were sharing candid opinions that were not intended for public consumption. At one point in the conversation, Kazama expressed discomfort, saying, “It feels like A.B.C-Z, which is annoying,” to which Tanaka responded with understanding, saying, “Yeah.”

“When mentioning A.B.C-Z, they are a senior group to SixTONES. The comment ‘It feels like A.B.C-Z, which is annoying’ inevitably came across as negative, sparking controversy over whether they were indirectly dissing A.B.C-Z.

However, some fans interpreted Kazama’s statement as stemming from his pride in SixTONES, suggesting he didn’t want their group to be compared to others. This perspective was positively received by many.”(same source)

Like the previously mentioned Kinpuri audio, it’s likely that someone intentionally recorded this data. This suggests that the number of people who could have set up the recording equipment is limited.
