Is Hirano Sho "Kimutaku + Aiba Masaki + Nakai Masahiro"? behind the scenes of Johnny's pushing
"After SMAP and Arashi, Johnny's has not been able to create a 'national idol group' where everyone, young and old, male and female, can recognize each member's name and face. Now that Johnny and Mary have left and Takky is in charge, there is an urgent need to develop such a group. (Wide show insider)"
"I would say that he is a type of person that has never been seen before. If I had to put it this way, I'd say he has the looks of Kimutaku, the friendliness of Aiba, and thinks about the group as much as Nakai (laughing). He is said to be a "natural" character, but he is not a " fool" by any means. In any way, there is no doubt that he is the key person of the group." (Shimoda, previously mentioned)
With their appearance on "24 Hours," their fame has increased even more, and even old men who are not idol fans are beginning to recognize the names of the members, just as the agency had hoped.
