November 2018. Yuto Nakajima of “Hey! Say! JUMP” gets into a car after leaving the building of an affiliated company. He is the ace of the group.  The difference between Johnny and Tacky. On July 9, 2019, Mr. Johnny Kitagawa passed away at the hospital where he was admitted. It had been 60 years since Mr. Johnny, who worked at the American Embassy after the war, gathered elementary and junior high school students to form a grass baseball team. How will his death affect idols in the future?   Yuka: “After Mr. Johnny’s death, the biggest change is the treatment of the Jr. 6 kids.” Aya: “After Mr. Johnny passed away, Hideaki Takizawa (40) became the president of “Johnny’s Island” (7), and the training of Jr. was left entirely to Tackey. Shino: “During Mr. Johnny’s time, there were kids like Juri Tanaka (27) and Fuma Kikuchi (27), but Takizawa wanted Jr. to be well-behaved and to be disciplined. He punishes them in a firm manner.” Yuka: “If private pictures were leaked, they would be suspended. I think it’s also because it’s getting harder to get kids with yankee characters to pass the entrance exam. If you look at Tackey’s group of his favorite kids, “IMPACTors”, you can see what the current sales line is.”   Aya: “Mr. Johnny was fine with having a variety of kids, but I think Tackey has a clear ideal image of Jr. I think this is only possible with his stoicism. But Takizawa has no experience working with groups of more than three, so I don’t think he can handle as much.”
