Takizawa Hideaki , who retired from the front of the entertainment industry last year, just started his behind-the-scenes production career, and a lot of news that he was in the news reports immediately came out of his iron-fisted governance and frequent new policies. Does this mean that , Johnniez, which has dominated the Japanese male idol industry for many years, is about to undergo a huge change?
A new generation beats the old one?
On January 16, Johnny's Island, a subsidiary of Johnny's Office, announced that Hideaki Takizawa will take over as the president of the company, and the president will be the president of the company, Gene Kitakawa, the president of Johnny's Office. The company's main job is the management and discovery of newcomers of Johnnies Jr.
On the same day, Hideaki Takizawa distributed a new business card to the surrounded reporters at the Tokyo event site, and announced that in March, a separate concert of three Jr. groups: "SixTONES", "Snow Man" and "Travis Japan" will be held in Yokohama Arena, and he will serve as the director. Regarding his first concert director job, Hideaki Takizawa said in a shocking way: "Jennisan only has no surprises in concert."
In addition, Hideaki Takizawa has made drastic reforms to the Jr group. Snow Man, who was originally a group of 6 people, has been confirmed that the 15-year-old junior high school student Masato Murakami will join the group, and Johnny's Jr.'s , Musui Yasuji and Meguro Ren of Universe Six will serve as both groups. The Yokohama performance on March 24 will be the first appearance of the new group. In the dinner show in December last year, Takizawa once said that he had been paying attention to some unknown Jr in his mind for a long time, and Murakami Masamu is one of them.
At the same time, Jr.'s exclusive peripheral stores and new online programs are being prepared smoothly. Before that, the decision-making power of the Jr. group has always been controlled by Gene Kitakawa. At present, it seems that Takizawa Hideaki will take over the personnel matters in full. Although the decision on whether to debut or not is still in the hands of the two vice presidents, Marie Fujima and Julie Fujima, Takizawa Hideaki emphasized that he will focus on cultivating his position and take the idea of fans as the first starting point.
What is interesting is how the old-fashioned group and idols who have made their debut will be treated after Hideaki Takizawa made efforts on Johnniez Jr.
V6's Miyake Ken once reviewed the New Year's Eve meeting at the end of the year in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" played by Fuji TV on January 17. He mentioned that "the truth is to hope to have more time to appear", which seemed to reveal some dissatisfaction.
. Just recently, the weekly trend has even emerged that two TV variety shows named after the former SMAP Zhongju Zhengguang will be cut.
A TV station staff once broke the news: "With the increase in young combinations, it will inevitably squeeze out the appearance time of the old combination. At the same time, Hideaki Takizawa's "youngering route" has been confirmed, and complaints like Ken Miyake may increase."
reconciled with entertainment magazines that have been "old enemies" for many years
Last year, whether it was TOKIO and NEWS, or whether it was a series of scandals that occurred in TOKIO and NEWS, or a series of members withdrew from the club, it was an unstable year for Johnnys. According to the Japanese website "live door", the new system implemented by Hideaki Takizawa also includes policies to deal with scandals.
Some relevant staff members mentioned: "For many years, Johnnys's office has been putting "Weekly Women" on the interview blacklist, so the magazine has been wantonly reporting on negative events and scandals of Johnnys' artists, and can even be said to be a archenemy. However, since the end of last year, Johnnys canceled the agency's policy of banning interviews, and the two sides seemed to have reached a historic settlement."
started with this, and the first issue of "Weekly Women" in 2019 reported on the Tokyo Dome Performance of Hey! Say! JUMP on January 1, and the press conference held by King & Prince the next day. At the same time, in the Weekly Women, published on January 14, the last performance of NEWS’s Dome Tour and the first performance photos of Johnnie WEST.
More worthy of attention is that there is another news about Johnny in the Weekly Women on January 14th, which is the follow-up of the news that the magazine published in September last year, Ryosuke Yamada dating model Satoko Miyata for three years. The two have broken up.Miyata himself has admitted to breaking up with relatives and friends around him, which is considered negative news for Miyata, but it is definitely a good event for Ryosuke Yamada.
With the implementation of the new system, it seems that more and more blacklist media will be lifted.
Iron Fist Purification Style
Recently, some media have reported that NEWS's hand Yui will also usher in its only variety show "World Fruit"! 》's regular appearance ended.
In June last year, "Weekly Wenchun" revealed that she drank with a minor, but there was no punishment. In the digital media of Weekly Wenchun on December 31, he once again reported on his consecutive negative scandals of drinking with 20-year-old women who banned drinking in Guam laws last September and drinking with underage women in November. Under the influence of these news, Yuya Takeshi's withdrawal was put on the table, and King & Prince's Kishi Yuta and Hirano Juniori Hirano Juniori will become a favorable candidate.
In this regard, relevant personnel from the TV station said: Even Japanese TV stations cannot completely ignore the scandal of Setsuki. Even if he withdraws more and more, as long as he continues to make up for the artists of Johnnys, it will not be a shame for Johnnys.
According to the Kotanshe magazine "FRIDAY", after taking office, Takizawa Hideaki will implement a zero-tolerance system that has a bad impact on the artists of the Johnnie firm. In addition to NEWS's Hand Yuya, there are also Nishido Ryo that frequently leaks bed photos with women in level 8.
You Entertainment reporter analyzed this: After the implementation of the new system, Johnnys's firm gradually began to join forces with the entertainment magazines that were previously blacklisted. Once sensitive news appears, there may even be immediate dismissal.
Under the influence of these three tricks, how should newcomers and elderly people coexist? How long can the iron-fisted politics of Purification of Johnnies last? These will be the topics that are worthy of our attention when Takizawa Hideaki goes behind the scenes.
