Johnny Kitagawa himself

dulcidine · Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2007 5:31 pm Post subject: Johnny Kitagawa himself

How is it that a person like Johnny Kitagawa doesn't even have a picture of himself on the internet? I dunno, maybe I haven't looked that hard yet, but I have found nada. And to find out about him besides the sexual harrassments is really hard as well He must be paying people to keep himself hidden or something. It's just so strange, and yet fascinating...
You feel like you know Arashi, SMAP, KANJANI 8 or whatever, but you know nothing of the man behind them. And the JE boys rarely talk about him, only a few comments or jokes here and there...

Edit: And that thing about Akanishi Jin leaving the country because he suddenly had to "study english" when he in fact enpregnated two teenagers.

Would be interesting to discuss the man himself and not just the bands..

I'm no moderator to say this,but saying something like that about Jun is kind of a rumor. Ya know,let's not get people uncomfortable here.
Please don't kill me. mellow

But if you want to talk about Johnny,sometimes I think he is a made up man.I think JE members haven't even met him.hahaha. He's a conspiracy! Laughing

Even so, I think you should be able to talk about serious stuff. Just because they aren't fluffy sweetness or "Omg, Jun is sooo hot in this picture" doesn't mean it's inappropriate... Wink 2

General rules
1. No rumors or gossips of the private lives of Arashi members in any format.

Yes it is inappropriate for this forum. If it has to do with the private life of an Arashi member, then discusion isn't allowed. Feel free to talk about Johnny Kitagawa all you want, but any talk of Arashi's private lives could result in a ban.

Okay, I guess I missed that rule. So you can talk about other JE members but not Arashi? That (And the reason behind it) doesn't make any sense to me, but of course I'll oblige.

That really can't be Johnny, can it? O.O;; I mean, I know the guy's 70+ now, but it's possible that that's an old pic...

They're also discussing it over here:

No no, that can't be him.... isin't that guy a part of a JE group? Or is it?

I'm curious about this Johnny too. It's either he exists but pays a lot of money to keep his true identity hidden or he doesn't exist at all. That man is just a total mystery to me. confused

I mean, such a monopoly wouldn't exist any where else...
It's crazy that one person (Well, his sister pretty much runs the place now) is controlling the WHOLE boyband market, not allowing anyone else come in between...

no that guy in the first picture isn't johnny haha
just a few days ago i did some research and i think that guy in the first picture (above kimura) is from an OLD johnny group. actually there were a couple of groups since the 60's. the guy in the pic is Motoki Masahiro. he was in the same group (Shibugakitai) as the host guy of hanamaru cafe, Yakumaru Hirohide. i was shocked to find that the host guy of hanamaru cafe was a johnny. JE was something bigger then i ever really knew lol.

as for Johnny kitagawa... he's probably too old to do anything now. and back then when JE first started there was no internet for info to spread like it has. but johnny and the company seems to be filled with many secrets. but boy do they know how to sell

I actually have 2 or 3 pictures of the man himself. And he's old. He looks like your typical Japanese grandpa with glasses and few hair. Nothing special. I always kinda expected him to be more fabulous and stuff...

Oh, really? I'm guessing you don't have it uploaded somewhere cause then you'll probably be sued or something..
Actually before I even knew anything of his "scandals" I thought he was like a kind ojisan or something...

Yeah, I'd rather not upload it. JE is being extra careful not to circulate pictures of the chairman around. I think those pictures were taken down after I saved them on my PC. In one of the pics he is captured by paparazzis exiting the office with Jin, Kame and Junno from KAT-TUN. And I have an old picture of him from the days those scandals broke out. He's so small! But so smart! Look at his empire!

Wait, I actually don't get the connection with Jin's leaving to study and not be able to find pictures of Johnny Kitagawa... (don't explain though cuz we're not even supposed to talk about that XD)

But anyway, yeah!! I can't find any pictures of the old man anywhere either... yes, I want to know how the man that runs a pretty boy factory looks like ^^;

a2a, I was actually gonna ask if you could upload it privately somehow, but nevermind, wouldn't wanna get you into trouble! Let him just be a mystery man haha XD
