Takuya Kimura: Regardless of his experience of working together and his good relationship with his colleagues, he is too manly to be a god…! A “big-hearted” episode of being considerate of his juniors.

Kimura often reports his interactions with younger colleagues on SNS, and on September 22, he attracted attention when he reported eating shaved ice with Taka of ONE OK ROCK, a former junior member of his office.

Kimura confesses that he bought an electric bicycle.

Takuya Kimura (52) updated his Instagram on September 13. He also posted a photo of Seiya Suezawa, a junior member of the Ae! group’s Seiya Suezawa (31), his junior at the office, and went out for lunch. Later, Suezawa himself revealed on a radio program that after lunch, they went shopping together and Kimura bought him a bicycle.

Kimura wrote on his Instagram, “I was invited…. A very satisfying A eh! We had lunch! Thank you for the meal,” and showed a commemorative photo of him and Suesawa. Suesawa also posted a two-shot photo on his personal Instagram account.

Suezawa has publicly stated that he has been a big fan of Kimura’s since their Kansai Junior days, so the comments section contained comments such as, “Congratulations on having lunch with your adored senior,” and “Good for Seiya! Congratulations on having lunch with the senior of your dreams!

Furthermore, on the 17th, Suezawa uploaded another Instagram Stories, revealing that he accompanied the Kimura family on a walk with their dog. Also, on the same night’s broadcast of the radio show “A Yeah! group’s MBS Young Town” (MBS Radio), he confessed that Kimura had bought him an electric bicycle with specifications that allow him to customize it.

Suezawa, who is from the Kansai region, started living in Tokyo after his CD debut last May, and Kimura gave him the bicycle as a gift “so that he can expand his range of movement,” according to an entertainment writer.

Kimura, who is very considerate of his younger colleagues, has had countless episodes of this kind of “divine support.

Speaking of Kimura, there was an episode in which he met Kazuya Kamenashi (39) by chance on the street and went shopping with him and bought him clothes even though they had never met before. It does not matter if they have worked together before or if they are good friends, they seem to take good care of each other if they are juniors in the office.

Last year, it became a topic of conversation that he brought a boxed lunch from the popular steak and hamburger restaurant “Meat Yazawa” to the site of “timelesz project -AUDITION-,” an audition for new members of timelesz (distributed exclusively on Netflix).

Kimura’s smartness impresses juniors

Koji Mukai (31) of “Snow Man” and Takahiro Hamada (36) of “West.” went to Kimura’s house and each received two cardboard boxes of golf clothes, as revealed in the TV program “Poka Poka” (Fuji Television, broadcast August 26, 2012). And, he was a former member of “A.A.” and “A.A.”.

And former “A.B.C-Z” member Ikuto Kawai (37) appeared on YouTube last November with Yuki Hirako (46) of the comedy duo “Arco & Peace” and shared Kimura’s fat belly episode.

Kawai, who has long respected Kimura, said that he started ocean fishing under Kimura’s influence. One day, Kimura replied, “I’m free tomorrow,” and they decided to go fishing together.

On the day of the fishing trip, when they were about to leave, they found out that Kimura had actually arrived before Kawai and had done everything from setting up the lures and rods to paying the bill. He did not pay the bill in front of his junior staff members, and he had smartly paid for everything for all of them. This kind of manly behavior and large capacity may be the reason why he is admired by many of his juniors.

The former Johnny’s used to have veteran talents such as Kondo Masahiko (61) and Shonen-tai member Higashiyama Noriyuki (59). Kondo left the office at the end of April 2009, and due to the sexual assault issues of the first president, Janie Kitagawa (87 years old), Higashiyama retired from the talent business and became the president of SMILE-UP, a company that provides compensation services to victims.

Kimura, who is now the “eldest son” of the company, is expected to continue to show his great backbone to his younger colleagues.
