Japanese celebrities

There is no most handsome person, and everyone’s aesthetics is different. But I recommend male artists from Johnny & Associates.

Introduction to the J family

[edit This paragraph]

As Asia’s most awesome teenage dream factory, Johnny & Ness Japan, it almost dominates Japan’s entertainment industry. It is a household name in Japan and its popularity can be described as incredible. In neighboring countries It also has considerable influence and a large number of crazy fans. For example, Japanese drama spokesperson Kimura Takuya, girl killer Takizawa Hideaki and other beautiful men are all created by Johnny.

The J family was established

[Edit this paragraph]

On a rainy day in 1962, because there was no way to practice baseball, the founder of Johnny’s - -Mr. Kitagawa Johnny took several players to the theater to watch a movie---"West Side Story". After watching the game, Kitagawa asked the players: "Do you want to be like them?" After that, four people formed Johnny's first group - "Johnny's" and created the original history of Johnny's.... .

J family history

[Edit this paragraph]

In 967, it was composed of "Hokugongji, Kiyoyama Takashi, Eki Toshio and Orikata Masao" Philips".

The "Four Leaves" formed in 1968 are more like the prototype of modern Johnny's. At that time, the idol performed a backflip, which caused quite a big topic.

In the 1970s, Kitagawa founded Johnny & Associates.

In 1972, Johnny's launched Johnny's first male idol - "Go Hiromi" (who has withdrawn, but is still active in the Japanese entertainment industry and has officially retired from the entertainment industry in recent years)

Of course, Johnny's also launched many popular idols in the 1970s. People such as "Hiroyuki Sanada, Noguchi Noguchi, Hideki Saijo, Kenji Sawada" and others are all representative artists of the contemporary era.

In 1980, the "Tahara Trio" composed of "Kondo Masahiko, Nomura Yoshio, and Tahara Toshihiko" was launched. Among them, only Kondo Masahiko remains in Johnny's development, and the other two have withdrawn. (After Nomura quit, he formed a group of his own - "The Goodbye"; and Tahara Toshihiko, who debuted with the single "Sad Date", quit because of his relationship with Nakayama Miho and friction with the company. However, Then he was completely banned by Johnny's; Kondo Masahiko, who stayed at Johnny's, played "Third Years Class B Kinpachi-sensei" with Mr. Tahara in 1979, and in 1980 with "Snicka Blues" He debuted as a single and had a triangular scandal with Akina Nakamori and Seiko Matsuda (Toshihiko Tahara: born in 1961. Masahiko Kondo: born on July 19, 1964)

In 1981, Johnny launched. The "Young Team" composed of "Higashiyama Noriyuki, Uekusa Katsuhide, and Nishikori Kazuki" was based on the performance of the movie and released a video tape until December 1985. A single "Masked Dance". Among them, Higashiyama Noriyuki and Makino Riho were engaged, but they broke up due to the company's intervention. Currently, only Nishikori is married to (Kimichi) Chieko and has two children. Children (eldest son: Nishikori Yuta. Eldest daughter: Nishikori ERIKA) (Nishikori Kazuki: May 22, 1965. Type O. Born in Tokyo? Higashiyama Noriyuki: September 30, 1966. A Type. Born in Kanagawa Prefecture? Katsuhide Uekusa: July 24, 1966. Type O. Born in Chiba Prefecture)

In 1982, Johnny launched another pill by "Masahiro Motoki. Toshikazu Fukawa." Yuying formed the "Shibu Persimmon Team" and released their first single - "NAI? NAI16". In that year, they won almost all kinds of new artist awards in Japan, including Masahiro Motoki. Wakamaru Yuei requested a solo career, so the group disbanded on November 2, 1988.

After 1982, Johnny selected "Okada Kenichi" from the first open recruitment of artists. Kazuya Takahashi and Shoji Narita formed the "Tokyo Men's Group", and in 1985 they added a new member, "Maeda Koyo", and later changed their name to the "Old Douhu Group". The four released their first single in August 1988 Song - "DAYBREAK". The group has now disbanded.

Of course, in 1985, Johnny was not only active in the male fighting group. In this year, they also launched ". "Young Ninja" is composed of six people including Naoto Endo, Gentoshi Nakamura, Shinya Masaki, Yasuya Shiga, Chao Yanagisawa, and Nobuhide Takagi. However, one of the members, Gentori Nakamura, suddenly jumped ship to another group. "CHA-CHA", so Johnny added a new member "Eiji Yoshikawa" and changed its name to "Ninja" in 1990. Currently, the only remaining members are "Masaki Shinya, Takagi Nobuhide, Endo Naoto, and Yanagisawa Chao." "The four others stayed in Johnny's to develop personal activities.

In April 1987, Johnny's formed "GENJI" by "Kazuji Morohoshi, Junichi Yamamoto, Hiroyuki Sato, Atsuki Sato, and Akira Akasaka" ". In June, the two people "Utsumi Koji and Osawa Shuio" who originally belonged to "EAGLES" formed "Hikari". Then the two groups "GENJI" and "Light" were merged into "Light GENJI", and their first single "STAR LIGHT" was released on August 19.

But later, because Osawa Shusheng wanted to develop behind the scenes, Morohoshi and Misawa hoped to go solo. Therefore, after the two quit, Hikaru Genji changed its name to "Hikaru Genji Super5" in 1995. (Currently, the stars will still perform some sporadic performances)

In November 1987, when Genji released its first single "Glass Youth", Genji arranged for 10 skateboarders Jr., known as "Skateboard Boy." Among them, six people were selected to form SMAP, including "Matsuyuki Mori, Masahiro Nakai, Takuya Kimura, Shingo Katori, Goro Inagaki, and Tsuyoshi Kusanagi", so the skateboard boy can be said to be the prototype of SMAP. Although they debuted as a group of six people, a regrettable thing happened in 1995... One of the members, Mori Zeyuki, was addicted to racing, so he insisted on joining the racing industry to fulfill his dream of racing. He announced his retirement on May 27, 1995 and said goodbye to his fans!

After the single "Glass Youth" successfully made "Skateboard Boy" popular, in 1988 " When "Hikari Genji" released the single "Sword Dance", Genji recruited a dozen Jr. who used Western swords to dance and sing along. They were commonly known as the "Taike School". During the Heike faction period, we can see several familiar faces...TOKIO's captain - "Jojima Shigeru" and "Kunibu Taichi" who also belongs to TOKIO. V6's captain - "Sakamoto Masayuki" is also the first member of the Heike faction What's more, what everyone can't imagine is... Sorimachi Takashi, who is currently active in the Japanese TV industry, was also a member of the Heike faction at that time!

In 1991, Johnny launched another " TOKIO is composed of five people: Kei Kojima, Masahiro Matsuoka, Shigeru Jojima, Tatsuya Yamaguchi, and Taichi Kokubu. But in fact, everyone will find it very strange... Why is it "Kei Kojima"? Who is Kei Kojima? Why is there no Tomoya Nagase? When TOKIO was first formed, there was indeed no Tomoya Nagase, but Kei Kojima. That's right . But I don't know why they suddenly changed their minds... The new member vocalist "Nagase Tomoya" suddenly appeared in the air to replace the original Kojima Kei. (What happened to the island...no one seems to know?! By the way...the island looks like a "fleshy" mountain pass~~~laugh~~~)

< p>In 1991, you can see two young boys in the "Light Genji" program. That's right~~~They are the "Kansai Boys" composed of "Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto". They also officially announced their group name "KinKi Kids" at the SMAP concert on January 1, 1993. They also released their first singles "Glass Boy" and "No. 1" on July 21, 1997. An album "A ALBUM". These two albums won the double championship in Japan's credibility rankings and set many records in Japan (by the way: you can see 3 K's in the name KinKi Kids! This. The three K's are all capitalized! Please stop writing them in lowercase! That's why KinKi's Fan Club is called "Ki3"!)

At the end of 1995, Johnny established "V6" ", but the "mysterious case" that happened to TOKIO students happened to V6 again. Because what is certain is that the list of V6's first names was "Ohara Yuki, Hara Tomohiro, Morita Tsuyoshi, Sakamoto Masayuki, and Miyake. Ken, Inohara Yoshihiko" and six other people. However, when they were first introduced, the two original names on the list, "Ohara Yuki and Hara Chihiro", were unexpectedly removed from the list, and the two vacancies were replaced by "Nagano Hiroshi" and Tsuyoshi. There are rumors that "Junichi Okada" who joined Johnny's was able to replace Yuki Obara and become a member of V6 because of the Okada family's money. Yuki was replaced by Johnny because of his bad attitude towards the fans. Regardless of the truth, please don't talk so loudly about Yugui (weird! |||'-'). There was a quarrel! And V6 and the others were also divided into two groups: the 20th Century in the senior group was composed of "Masayuki Sakamoto, Hiroshi Nagano, and Yoshihiko Inohara"? The Coming Century in the junior group was composed of "Miyake" Composed of Ken, Tsuyoshi Morita and Junichi Okada.

On November 3, 1999, Johnny launched a new generation of five-member group "Arashi", whose members are "Matsumoto Jun." Sakurai Sho, Aiba Masaki, Ninomiya Kazuya, Ohno Satoshi". The first single "ARASHI" and the first single "Arashi No. 1" released by the five of them both entered the charts and won the first prize of the week. Champion, and both broke one million.

In 2001...at Jr.'s tour concert, it was officially announced that Takizawa Hideaki and Imai Tsubasa officially debuted. The group name is ''Tacky&Tsubasa'' < /p>

The J family had a boy and girl group in the 1960s. Later, for some reason, the J family only trained boys

The inside story of the J family

[Edit this paragraph ]

There are hundreds of "raw materials" for handsome boys under Johnny's, but only a few are ultimately refined into "finished products", so competition is fierce.

Children who join the society are around thirteen or fourteen years old. After passing several interviews, they begin long and rigorous training, including singing, dancing, acting, hosting, writing lyrics, composing, as well as basic martial arts skills such as somersaults and fighting, and stage scenes. When performing high-altitude stunts, those who can stand out from Johnny's are generally all-rounders. After four or five years of training and packaging, the image and temperament of the boys have also undergone earth-shaking changes, becoming both idols and talents. of superstar.

But even so, Johnny & Associates' "Zhou Papi" style is still well known. Not only are the salaries of its artists pitiful, not even enough for pocket money, but the agency's investment in artists is also very small. Unfortunately, these boys do their own makeup and styling before going on stage, and even the costumes and stage design for concerts often have to be done by themselves. The daily workload is astonishing, with the highest record reaching 11 concerts a day! What makes fans even more heartbroken is that in order to pursue stage effects, the studio often arranges stunt performances involving high-altitude wire hanging. Boys hang high in the air without protective measures and perform dangerous actions such as spinning and tumbling, just for the sake of Received plaudits and high attendance.

In addition, Johnny has many dark inside stories. Since the boys in the company are all very good-looking, most of them cannot escape the fate of being sexually harassed. According to a Japanese friend, this is already an open secret. Some even say that President Kitagawa will bring some beautiful boys to work. Bad career.

Even so, there are still so many people in Japan who want to enter Johnny's that there are many people who are even sent to the agency because their female family members are obsessed with Johnny's idol. For example, there are many people whose sisters, aunts, and mothers secretly send information to the company and then use various methods to trick children into interviewing. It's really unpredictable.

Johnny's Agency was established in 1962. In the following 40 years, idol DreamWorks beauties emerged one after another, occupying half of the Japanese entertainment industry.

Shigeru Shigeru (Captain)

Tatsuya Yamaguchi

Taichi Kokubu

Masahiro Matsuoka

Tomoya Nagase

The music is more rock-oriented In the group, Nagase is one of the few tough idols in the J family. The comments I saw back then (2000) were that, as a group that inherited the past and ushered in the future, SMAP was still at its peak, KINKI was a rising star, and TOKIO was in an embarrassing situation.

Domoto Koichi

Domoto Tsuyoshi

They formed a group in 1992 and officially debuted in 1997. The two developed in a relatively balanced way. "Disqualified in the World" was almost a stunning performance, and then KK's trilogy established its position in the hearts of fans. The multi-faceted management of Japanese dramas, songs, program hosts, and stage plays has ensured KK's long-term front-line support from the initial sales of 1 million to 250,000 now. Status. Koichi’s stage play and Gang’s acting skills are all well-received, and DB is also the most famous and interesting fairy tale group in the J family.

It is worth mentioning that before KK, the J family did not have such an obvious ambiguous line. After KK, there was talk of official matches, and later TT, N Group, Guan 8, and KT all had official matches. KK is a new selling point business line of the J family, started by them

Started starring in 1997 In Japanese dramas, TAKKI was once at the height of its popularity. "The Witch's Condition" became a hit in Japan. He was hailed as the unrivaled successor to Kimura. His debut was very popular. Compared with him, Tsubasa back then was almost unknown. After a long wait, TT combined Finally made his debut with a CD in 2002, but his debut ended badly. It must be said that the company made a mistake and delayed the best period. Tsubasa has worked hard in recent years to gradually improve, and his dancing skills have been recognized. DB of the era is still an important repertoire in the J family's stage plays

A group that once gathered a lot of resentment (I saw Toma Ikuta in the current J family solo artist... silently), and its members participated in Japanese dramas and CON. LEADER Tomohisa Yamashita. Kusano and Tegoshi are the main vocalists, but I like the host Oyama better. Liang Nai is the official partner of NEWS and Guan 8***. Tomohisa Yamashita was once known as the most beautiful boy like a flower. He was extremely popular among his peers. In 2005, he starred in "Dragon Sakura" and achieved high ratings. In addition, he has starred in a series of popular TV series such as "Wild Boar Makeover", "Fraud Hunter" and "The Proposal" and is known as "Kimura's successor"

As the most anticipated debut, JR debuted in March 2006. His debut single "Real Face" sold millions. In addition, the album and concert DVD released on the day of his debut even won five crowns in one fell swoop. Popularity cannot be ignored. Yamashita + Kameli's co-starring "Wild Boar" not only shakes up Akagi's official role, but also severely affects Yamashita. The recent CD released by the two has caused a strong response. The current main conflicts are centered on KT's debut and uneven member development, as well as the quarrels between paired FANS groups. (The current J family, just like last year’s SD in Jinjiang, has been particularly smoke-filled recently) As of the end of 2007. Every single of KAT-TUN. album.
