Well Jonney and associates are the bed rock of Japan's entertainment industry. And we all suffer from its power. So should the world too.

I wouldn't know any of the members of Tokio from a bar of soap, but good for them for getting the gig. However, I still peeved that perverted lech was able to pay his way out of jail.

Isn't Yamaguchi the one who was always on the shows, showcasing the high school boys who liked to dress up as girls?

Japan is a closed shop, so yes, we have to have someone from the Johnny's agency.
The promotion will be done by Dentsu, regardless of how many people die there from overwork or how many stories of sexual harrassment appear.

As long as the sexual offender is gone I see no problem with it.

At least they're better than the AKB bunch. Having said that, why not use an entertainer who has a more international following. Tokio has a very small international presence, no one will know who they are. Hikaru Utada, DCT, Namie Amuro, and other entertainers, who can sing in English and Japanese would be a better choice.
