Takuya Kimura and Shizuka Kudo, Go Morita and Rie Miyazawa…the real faces of Johnny’s strongest couples
It’s been a tumultuous year at the Johnny’s office, with TOKIO going independent, Masahiko Kondo leaving the company, Masaki Aiba and Sho Sakurai of Arashi announcing their marriage to ordinary women, and V6 breaking up ……. While those who left and those who stayed with Johnny’s are moving on to new stages, attention is also being paid to the “bonds between couples”. We would like to introduce you to some of the Johnny’s couples who continue to take on new challenges while supporting each other in the midst of the Covid-19 disaster, along with their treasured photos.
Married for 20 years, the couple is still happy
Yebisu Garden Place in the late afternoon under the spring sun. There was a couple with two fluffy dogs in the square as people came and went. It was Takuya Kimura (48) and his wife Shizuka Kudo (51).
It was two days before the birthday of their beloved wife, Shizuka. They must have been enjoying some time together while walking their dog. After a while, Kimura sat his dogs, Etoile and Amour, down on a bench.
Shizuka, on the other hand, went to an ice cream store. A few minutes later, when Shizuka came back with ice cream in her hand, Kimura stood up with a smile on his face and started walking. On the way, Shizuka offered Kimura an ice cream, and he licked it back. Even after 20 years of marriage, the couple seems to be in good health.
Recently, Shizuka has been making frequent appearances on the social networking sites of her daughters Cocomi and Kōki. In the past, the Kimtakus had an image of being out of touch with the world, but as their daughters began to talk about the inner workings of the Kimura family and the ‘dad’ side of Mr. Kimura through live-streaming and other means, they quickly became the talk of the town.
Since opening his own Instagram account in May last year, Kimura has also been appearing frequently on his daughters’ social networking sites. While his daughters are flying high, Kimura is making great strides as a family, appearing in his first overseas drama, “The Swarm.
The “most powerful family in the entertainment industry” is one that we will not be able to take our eyes off next year.
A new start as husband and wife

From now on, with the full support of Miyazawa, who is also an actress, Morita will probably focus on the stage.

Miyazawa says of Morita, “She is a kind person. It seems that he is not only kind to himself, but also to his daughter. The three of them went out to eat together many times during their relationship, and I heard that her daughter was very fond of Mr. Morita, which was a big reason why they decided to get married.
