なぜジャニースjr会いません？
This is the last Magazine featuring the upcoming "Charlie and Chocolate factory" stage leading by Koichi.
The boys in the picture are: (left to right)
小野桜介: Ono Osuke (2013)
チョウ シ: Cho Shi (2011) B. PRO
涌澤昊生: Wakuzawa Koki (2012) NEWS ENTERTAIMENT
As you can see non of them are JRS. Koichi always had cast JRs for their Musical proyects.
I started thinking maybe the last "scandal" made this decision.
I feel bad for those Johnny's who could be casted like the kansai sensation Ito Atsushi. Many Jr started like that: Matsujun, Aiba (started with Bokura no Yuuki), Chinen Yuri, Nakajima Yuto, and one of the last stars Naniwa's Michieda Shunsuke.
I feel powerless about it, just a baseless acusation agaisnt a dead can stop/ quit / shortage of opportunities of many children who wants to become an Idol.

Cancelation Effect
I was wondering about the idea of the ONU investigation Johnny's & associates. I can't get through it.
To get an investigation from the UN needs an official denouncement by the proper mechanisms. Not even the name "Arabic Spring" got it.
Just I need to explain a little.
To get the UN to investigate a country, not a company, needs a proper denouncement of the victims of human rights violations. Means the Country itself by the governance violates the declaration of Human Rights of the UN.
The UN can't investigate a person who doesnt belong to the government or is suspected of terrorism. Imagine that the man who blew up the twin towers never was investigated by the UN. Madoff and all the companies who left people without a home didn't get investigated. Pol Pot murdered thousands of Cambodian people and nobody went to see what happened there.
Saying that, is the UN investigation on a company legal?
Again, I’m not saying that JK never had a relationship with those persons.
But it is important to stay clean on both sides.
If the UN can't do anything against the woman who wants to drive and the UAE forbids them, why can do something with this?
I know there’s a victim but, there’s a things you must consider:
Crimes has a time to denounce or you lost your right to prosecute it
The “suspect” is dead
Aside of other felonies, in the case of rape/abuse only a human can be prosecuted not a company
There’s no proof (on trial) that it really happened
UN HAS NOT jurisdiction on this type of crime
As a sovereign country, all the international community has to respect the laws of Japan.
Again, this case is a “normal” crime, thus is not a violation of the UN Declaration of Human Rights.
Had the UN investigated “Prince” Andrew? I mean he is a member of the Royal Family of the UK, who was related to a man who committed Sui6ide after being investigated for human trafficking.
I don’t mind JK itself, but the talents. What about the guys there? Everyone who debuted on Johnny’s.
Only the culture of cancelation is the explanation I can find for this. Like it was said for Higashiyama “it’s time to close Johnny’s”. Not even I can recall what I felt when I heard him.
For many of them was life changing: Ohno, Nino, Tackey, Tsuba and other Johnnys who never had the opportunity to make his dreams come true.
Special Unit
You already know I like to dig in the past and remember some stories. This time is Olympic, we have a year to Paris 2024. (July 25th to Aug 11th)
So thinking in that I would re- introduce Johnnys back to 2013 were the Tokyo bid elecction was made.
That year Arashi in "Arafes" announced the bid and lit up the calaudron in Tokyo Olimpic Stadium. The same year decided Japan would re-build the whole stadium. So Arashi was the last male group/band in play and the last show was actually AKB48.
If you want to know the tied arashi-olympics here you have the "olympics songs"
At the time, Johnny announced the creation of a special unit called "johnny 2020" or in japanese トニトニ. The idea of JK was scauting a new generation of 40 Jr. And the scouting begun in Osaka and Tokyo.
Later Johnny named Tacky in his place in front of "Jr" division in 2018. So he changed the original project they would be the last groups debuted: King & Prince (5), Sixtones (6), Snowman (7), naniwa danshi (7), HiHi jets (5), Bishounen (6) and Travis Japan (7) ⇒ 40 people in 6 groups.
But with the pandemic and the Olympic suspension, the project also changed.
This time Julie with Tackey decided form Twenty★Twenty for Smile up! Proyect to collect found for pandemic relief. This time will have all the groups in the agency and only the debuted ones.
Until then people sympathized with Tackey like "taking Johnny's to another level". Only a few fans critizised the decision about the jr groups without the opportunity to show up even more fans and magazines pointed out to Julie. So how was the real role of Takizawa?

Johnnys scandal . Vol II.
Yes, I take it personally. And I feel that there's not enough information about it available in English about what really happened in japan.
So, if you don't like the boring subject about law and Johnny Kitagawa latest "scandal", just scroll down without looking.
( study of the case )Ps. I tried to make it readble with gif and so on, but not my lessons are not like that. When I do my Lecture is quite complicate and with zero emoji.
If you don't think the same can comment or even PM, but don´t dennunce this post.
I'll be grateful if we can create a think critically, so I open to discuss it
Bye!

Johnny's sexual abuse scandal. My opinion
I feel I should talk about it since: I'm currently a Japanese language student and voilá I'm a law professor.
What about the allegations on Johnny Kitakawa? A bit of history…
It began in 90's when the company exploded with 3 bands in particular: 光genji, SMAP and KINKI KIDS.
I know, V6 and Tokyo had debuted in the middle of this. The ones who called themselves victims of Johnny, said they were part of jrs alongside these 3 band members. The man said those group members didn't suffer any harm, because Johnny had already selected them and had been protected. These two men hid their identity and published their story in a 2004 book.
The media at that time covered the story. Some of the magazines even speculated that Takky and Jun Matsumoto were victims too.
The Tokyo prosecutor tried to investigate The Jimusho (because the book covered allegations of choreographers and other staff, like managers) and lastly Johnny himself.
Because they didn't find testimonies or other kinds of proof, they dismissed the case.
Now, in 2022 after Johnny's death, Kuan Okamoto in a stream said he was abused and that he wasn't the only one. He talked about another 100 possible victims between the 4 years term that he was a jr.
Four months after Okamoto's confesion, BBC made a special program calling Johnny a predator.
After a BBC program, Okamoto was called to the foreign press club YouTube channel to give his testimony. He declared he even has a recording of the abuse on his phone.
About law:
Under 18 years old is child abuse. Okamoto said he was 15 and was until 19 years old in the agency. He said he suffered the abuse about 15 times during his whole time in the agency. After he left, he formed a band and later he became a solo artist in 2021. The first time he said, Johnny has the habit of sleeping in the same bed with various jr. He said Johnny took off his underwear and performed a fellatio on him, while he pretended to be asleep.
Okamoto would be the first testimony and the one who holds a proof.
But… the alleged perpetrator is dead. So, the criminal law doesn't allow a trial when the perpetrator is dead. (This is a worldwide guarantee, is not only Japanese law)
What about the time he suffered the abuse? He could (the law says) denounce him whatever age he had. If he was a minor, he could be protected by law too and have a hidden name. Like US law says "testimony of John Doe".
Why didn't he do it? He said he had fear.
How does Japanese justice deal with such cases of abuse? It was many women who alleged any type of abuse in the idol industry, but all of them signed an agreement to not make their statement public in exchange for a big amount of money.
My conclusion:
I can't believe Okamoto's testimony. Johnny has the guarantee of being innocent since he is dead.
Maybe Kitakawa was a minor abuser. But, I doubt this particular guy's testimony.
Why didn't he go public when the suspect was alive and Okamoto became an adult?
That's something I can't understand. The revictimization is something psychological that occurs after an abuse, it leaves a deep mark on people's lives and they develop different psychological syndrome like phobias, suicide attemps and others.
Is almost impossible that Okamoto would follow an artist path like him, after an abuse people don't feel confident with their body.
Another particularity is the act itself. Minor abuser doesn't have that sexual conduct against his victim. When the victim is male and more than 13 years old, criminals don't behave like Okamoto said.
And the last: the proof. When a man is abused, they have shame and no one would record himself. That type of secret recording occurs on "mobbing" or "sexual harassment" cases when there's sexual misconduct between two grown up men in a work site.
Psychiatrists always had conducted those examinations on the victim's denunce.
I don't saying that Johnny is fully innocent. I'm saying that Okamoto's denunce don't fit into a sexual abuse pattern. So, as expectators we can't believe him blindly.
Finally, I should say Is common at this time, as a lawyer finds those kinds of "fake" not "completely real" denunce of abuse. Women or men do that kind of denouncement to harm targeted people.
Also we can't look away from the "cancel culture" ; these are campaigns launched by different organizations without having a proper lawsuit against the perpetrator.
Not only did it harm Johnny Kitagawa's reputation, but all the talents. Now the media presumed that everyone was abused and targeted with a name: Jun Matsumoto.
What about him? That wouldn't harm him psychologically? That is a revictimization process and invaded his privacy.
I let my perspective, and tried to let the reader question themselves about all those points.
Dusty Journal! ⏸️
So many things happened!
In credible I'm still alive. Yes, last year had a gallbladder surgery🤒.
But in Fandom life, I converted to a new one: ST team! 💎
My center in Johnnys has always been Arashi, but I followed others groups too like HSJ. After the hiatus, I should confess I felt lonely.
How the 六人 had entered in my life? Well thanks to fandom. I felt curious about another fan user pic, so I found Taiga. After that, that lovely girl (TK: I'm talking about you!) shared with me all about them. I start to listen their voices.
I have to say, that I'm very picky with Idols (not only search for goodlooking guys, I want voices). At that time in 2017, they have 2 songs and thousands of covers in ザ少年倶楽部. And I find that I liked their armony.
Then, the obvious happened: Arashi hiatus. I started to ask myself What I should do? I was a 100% based on Arashi and Kinki. I resolved to keep suporting them until the last day. Also, I start to open myself to the other groups (Kohai ones), and I find that I know Johnny's more than I thought.
In the mid time Johnny's finally begun to behave like XXI century and appered freely on internet. YouTube partnership is the best thing! And of course, both have YT Channel: Arashi and Jr. (SixTones) and yeah that happened....💘
And this too 💘

I won't addmit that I fell that easily! 😅
I felt down while the hiatus come closer, and SixTones rumours of disbandement didn't make it easier.
But at the end of 2019 everything become brighter with the ST debut! I said many times, that I wanted them to debut because I felt this was another "golden era" because there were so many talented JRs, even they were already grown ups to still as jr. (I wish LoveTune still with the Jimusho).
And how the story continues?
I still as a Johnny's fan, I follow the remaining Arashi members activities. For the Kohai groups I started to follow them, and obviously ST catched my eye.
Guess what? My nickname was so arashi related that even thought in close this journal and open another one from scratch. But it would be betray them, get angry and finally hide myself. Juri came to rescue me, he is from Chiba too...🍃 (but his color is blue😄)
I have a carrer, keep studying a master and ofcourse cheering for my Idols.
What to expect? To keep posting about corious thing and history them, and falling over KyomoJuri combi!
( ˘ ³˘)♥Kiss and Hugs!

So touching music!,
Beautiful lyrics written by tsuyo as always a bit confusing like the fugirana part, I look over and over across my dictionares about it and nothing (let see if context help us). I'm a begginer in japanese and Tsuyo's poetry goes a way from me.
He said he wrote the lyrics as a special entrust from Johnny's office for the Jr show, Johnnys island with 4u and ABC-Z. They were still in mouring Johnny san when this happened. So he colected the feeling of the crematory ceremony as Johnny soul elevate like a smoke in the air crossing the rainbow bridge. Along with the feelings among them, the Johnny's.
This is the Kinki version. They sung it two times (as far as I know) in their concert thanks 2 you (please release the dvd!) and in Johnny's world happy live with you (pandemic charity concert online streemed). The last one is the one I took.
I took the kanji and romaji right from the screen.The translation is in spanish at my comm.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
arashilafamilia in video. But anyone is free to translate into whatever language with the kanji provided here. I'd like to see more accurate translations of this meaningful song or another lenguages interpretation. Just, please credit the work I did. Leave a comment if you like it or you gonna use it.

romanji
( romanized ver. )ESPAÑOL:
Hermosa y significativa letra de Tsuyo. Me fué un poco complicado traducirla especialmente la parte del fugirana, por mas que busque en todos los diccionarios no aparecia nada en concreto (veremos si el contexto ayuda). Soy todavia principiante en el idioma japones y es un desafio total poder traducir la poesía de Domoto. Es dificil cada estrofa pero puese lo mejor de mi en este intento de poder llevar a más personas la canción.
La canción fué encomendada a Tsuyo por la agencia para el show de Johnny's Island de los jr, 4U y ABC-Z. Todavia estaban de luto cuando le encomendaron el trabajo. El recogió todos los sentimientos de la ceremonia de cremación de Johnny san, lo describe como ver el alma de Johnny llegando al cielo cruzando el arcoiris. También recogió los sentimientos de los talentos que estaban presentes en la ceremonia.
Por lo que sé la cantaron 2 veces: en su concierto thanks 2 you(por favor lancen el dvd!), y en johnys happy live with you (el stream benefico por el coviid).Yo tome la últiima para la traduccion, copie el romanji y el kanji directo de la pantalla. Para mi es tan bella musicalmente que ya la deberian haber lanzado como single.
La traduccion es directa al español en arashilafamilia en video , esta hecha por contexto y de forma que entre lo mas poeticamente posible, sí que puede no ser exacta porque algunas expresiones no existen en el español y las tuve que dibujar un poco. Cualquiera puede tomar el kanji y el romanji para traducccion a otros idiomas pero por favor den crédito al trabajo que hice.

Like J- friends project this time all groups from Johnny's makes a charity song for the covid pandemic.
Friends project was formed for the board of schools of Kobe fundraising after the earthquake of 1995. J-FRIENDS was a special unit made up of Tokio, V6, and KinKi Kids. Until their disbandment in 2003 they were able to release 6 singles (Ashita ga Kikoeru /Children's Holiday, People Of The World, Next 100 Years, I WILL GET THERE, ALWAYS (A SONG FOR LOVE), Love Me All Over ) and held some charity concerts and events. In the end they were able to donate 874.278.322 Yen. Between the greatest composers fo this unit were Michael Jackson and Jon Bon Jovi.
This time project is shorter than the previous one (1998-2003) and only includes one song. The cd will be aviable in August with two tracks smile and wash your hands. The dvd will contein the making of the song.

The storm was scattered yesterday due to the rainstorm
There are also scratches left on the street in front of the station
But in the afternoon
See you as always
My heart was rough because of the overlapping pains
A strong expression will eventually collapse
Warm like you
See you someday
I was crying
I forget about smile, smile
I have to take a kick
In that sadness
Tomorrow at this time
Let's sing a cheerful song
So all you need
Is only smile
Mark one page in a fashion magazine
Open and close many times
What do you really want now
What you need
Longing for someone
Style, style just to wear
I knew it was a fake
Without chasing after
There are people who need you
You don't need
It's just a style
I was crying
I forget about smile, smile
I have to take a kick
In that sadness
Tomorrow at this time
Let's sing a cheerful song
So all you need
Is only smile (all you need is only smile)
Longing for someone
Style, style just to wear
I knew it was a fake (all you need is only smile)
But don't forget
I can meet your smile
I can live alone
I am
So all you need
Is only smile
タッキーと翼、ありがとう！
last post or my last interaction here. Sorry. Health issues and RL are driving me crazy. I wasn’t in the fandom for two month not even for post the “HIATUS” phrase.
Is quite unbelievable I don’t follow JE for that short and everything changes.
The retirement of Tackey surprised me a lot. I’m happy he accedes to a management position in the JE. He was a great johnny and the most wonderful Jr of all times. He was the one who all jr respected back then.
In the other hand I’m sad about Tsubasa. He is too the image of the golden era. He was bright back then. Like him sometimes, my own health put limits on my career. I believe he could have some management desk in JE too, but maybe the full retirement was his decision.
We are close to the 20th anniversary of Arashi and maybe this make the news more painful. In this year retired from Johnny's 3 of most powerful JR of all times: Subaru, Tackey and Tsubasa. Since 1995 the jr. were divided into “Kansai johnnys jr” and “johnnys jr” (for all those who doesn’t belong to kansai). From this sub units remain in the agency: Arashi, KAT-TUN 3, Yamapi, Ikuta Toma, Kazama Shunsuke and Yara Tomoyuki. From Kansai side the part of the Yu Yokoyama Yu, Murakami Shingo, Maruyama Ryuhei, Nishikido Ryo. The other K8 members joined the agency after 1999. There were other Jr in that time, they were the Jr more young of the agency they have 10 years or less: ふぉ〜ゆ〜, ABC and Fujiyawa Taisuke.
Less than 10 johnnys remain in the agency after 200 jr pool at 1999. The most awesome and bright era of Johnny’s begun with NHK “Idol on Stage” where Arashi begun their path.
I know everyone has the right to leave the agency for pursue their own career, but I’m sad about the treatment they had in the agency. Sometimes the three of them didn’t receive the correct publicity in the media or the right work offers. How did they turn the most successful Jr into talents in the bottom of the agency?. T&T didn’t have not even the half of the work of TOKiO.
I found awful the common japanese philosophy of the end of the career at 40. Normally Idols has an “expiration date” at the age at 30, SMAP was the first idol whom surpass the 30 years mark in the top of the success.
And I have the worst proof of that way of thinking: Aiba. Yes, my own ichiban says so. He thinks he can’t reach anything else since the day he reached 30 years old (zero G making). I’m 10 years younger than him but I still love him like he is right now. I don’t want to believe him, Arashi has much more to do in entertainment industry. I hope he changed his mind by now.
Most of the newspapers in japan says the end of Heisei era is the end of the idol era too. They compared the popularity of Idols like the end of the bubble at the 10th of Heisei.
I’m sad… truly. Even if they aren't my group is still sad, they are from the same generation as Arashi and shared with them most of the precious moments during their teenage.
I want them to enjoy their new life now, they deserve it.
タッキーと翼、ありがとう！
Subaru leaves Jimusho
Isn't because I loooove Jimusho, it's a company like many others.
Is for Subaru.
Is sad being in a carrer like this and have to leave. I happy for him actually, I mean, he had to pass trought various difficulties as Kanjani as kansaiJr. The success isn't granted for being in Johnnys. He worked hard since jr era. Sometimes it, could be seen like something doesn't work, he was a great jr and later doesn't have the popularity he should have.
When I watch the press conference, those tears, Why? that's the only word I said. Is so sudden, they have all shows pre recorded, don't have any other music program or other guest apareance program (as far as I now) and they will present as 6 in the dome tour in July. But, Subaru contract end in December, so What is the rush?. Is unnusual a Johnnys member withdraw, but in the case of Junosuke did a final tour and presented at least two times when he communicated his decision.
I hope he can have a better future. Like Nishikido said, I would like to hear his precious voice again.
As johnnys fan I wouln't like to be in the Eighter's shoes. Now, they have a tough decision if some of them heve subaru as ichiban.
New Video! I mean new "free" video
Johnnys has published their own site a serie of "2018 spring dorama season" advertising with "now available". Their talents done an special video for Johnnys web promoting their doramas.
Is kind spooky. I wondering, what are the real intention of the Agency? they must plotting something, I don't say something evil but must be something else. First lifting the ban on johnnys press photos, youtube channel for Jr, then Avex lunch an special youtube wich includes V6 (and the Line live last month). Is some restriction arround the corner or more freedom? ....
I was expecting the modernization of the Jimusho but this is suprinsigly fast and suddenly.
As Arashi fan, is new can see your idols "free" online. As an arashian is like a special present, watch Nino free again.
Happily for us, we live for see this moment. Thanks who make this possible.
(isn't big deal, is 2'' video with Nino talking about the start of his dorama the character and praising the director and the script writer. I´m quite happy for a 2'' video)

ジャニーズJr.チャンネル
Quiero dar a conocer el canal de los jrs. y en especial reconocer el maravilloso trabajo de PANDO GAKUEN en poder traducir en Español. Como dice bien en la info el canal es solo de jr. Espero que SixTones dure poco ahí, quiero que debuten rápido. Que no vuelva a pasar lo que pasó en la ジャニーズジュニア黄金期 donde varios talentosos johnnys quedaron afuera o sin la debida promoción. Por ahora espero que algun día Julie K. se de cuenta que los 2 millones de fans que tienen inscriptos son en un 30% fuera de japón y lo unico que hacen es perpetuar a un monton de gente que vive haciendo negocios a costa de Johnnys. Y por su puesto a todos los fans nos dejan afuera y denuncian nuestras cuentas que solo tienen la razón de poder compatir lo que nos gusta (y hacer que mas personas conozcan lo que a ellos les da dinero)
Como dice la canción:
この時がずっと
止まればいいなんてね
そう感じてるのは
君だけじゃないよ
僕らそれぞれの道を行くけど
"quiero que este tiempo dure para siempre, no quiero detenerme, me siento así, No estas solo".

嵐 & タッキー. VSA 180215
Ahh. waited for so long for these time when arashi invites so important johnnys to their shows.
First of all, Tacky already went to VSA last year for first time. He went first to adverstise his own butai and now for advertise his new dorama.//
Tackey ya habia aparecido en VSA el año pasdo. Antes para promocionar su propia obra de teatro y ahora para promocionar su dorama.

Second thing.... VSA producers are playing with us (the fans) is almost the same outfit for the two shows. When I see the pictures of TVGuide in TW and in Sina I said "meh, these fans repeat the old shows in their TL". I apologise for these misunderstanding, fans were right.
I love when ohter Johnnys come to Arashi shows, too much fun.
The better of these show deffinitly is Johnnys intro quiz and the Tacky's pick of johnnys.//
Segundo, en las redes sociales habia visto algunas fotos sobre el adelanto del show, y pensé que las fans repetian el programa del año pasado. Pero la produccion juega con nosotros (los fans) porque los vistieron usando los mismos colores que en 2017.

First of all: Into Quiz...
Clearly, Arashi: can you try with new songs? It´s almost unbelivable arashi doesn´t recognize "Flower" or "Ai nanda". I'll forgive they doesn´t know the songs for the new goups like Sexy Zone or newer songs of older groups like "Tegami" from Tokio. Just unbelivable.//
¿Por que Arashi no prueba con adivinar nuevas canciones?. Es casi imposible que no puedan reconocer Flower o Ai nanda. Esta bien si no pueden reconocer las canciones de Sexy Zone o Tegami de Tokio. Es increible.

Jun Utahiroba is truly a fan, I was thinking he was a "Jun-only" fan but is more complete.
Well we skip until kicking sniper, Arashi ask the guest to pick from members of all jimusho and form a new group. Obviously , they made Tacky form a new group too. I totally agree with him, he pick the most awesome dancing and singing idols of all the jimusho. I think they have to done the special unit for JDC maybe?.//
Jun Utahiroba es un fan completo, es el que mas adivino en el intro quiz. Y yo que pensaba que era "Jun-Only".
El otro punto sobresaliente es Kicking Sniper, Arashi le pide a los invitados que formen un nuevo grupo eligiendo miembros de toda la Jimusho. Le pidieron a Tackey y elige a los mejores que pueden bailar y cantar bien. Estaria bueno que hagan esta unidad especial para el JCD.
