According to a report by the Japanese media “Shimbao SEVEN” today, a person related to the entertainment industry revealed that Domoto had actually believed that he would leave the company if Johnny Kitagawa, the founder of Johnny & Associates, passed away. Just last year (2023), Johnny’s Agency was facing turmoil due to Johnny Kitagawa’s sex scandal, and the system was undergoing major reforms, so it continued to seek advice from people around it.
Since the name Johnny & Associates has gone into history, it is now divided into “SMILE-UP.” which handles compensation for victims, and “STARTO Entertainment” which will handle artist agency contracts starting this spring (2024). The company will also follow suit. Its artists re-signed contracts, and many took this as an opportunity to end their cooperation with the company. Industry insiders said, “Actually, (Domoto) happened to be at the point where he was going to renew his contract in mid-February, but it is reported that he has made up his mind not to renew the contract and is leaving the company.”
The report also mentioned that KinKi Kids is a rare two-person group among Johnny’s, and the two people have very different paths. Tsuyoshi Domoto has his own ideas in music, and is considered to be a very different existence in the idol company; Koichi Domoto is an orthodox prince and has been the general manager of the musical “SHOCK” for many years. He is considered to be one of the artists who can best inherit the entertainment spirit of Johnny Kitagawa. In the face of Johnny Kitagawa’s sex scandal, the two people’s external attitudes are also quite clear. Compared with the low-key Domoto Tsuyoshi, Domoto Koichi believes that he should bear the cross of punishment.
In addition, Domoto suddenly announced his marriage to Natsuko Momota at the beginning of this year. After having a life partner, it seemed that Domoto had just the opportunity to think about his future plans in life. , although the two maintain a subtle distance of non-interference, they have worked together for many years and have a relationship that goes beyond words. Therefore, the industry believes that the two should have the same view on the survival or failure of “KinKi Kids”. “It is important to accompany them in their acting careers.” The two of them definitely want to keep a large part of the group name “KinKi Kids”, and they probably have the same idea. Later, Domoto Gang will open a personal company, but even if he separates from Koichi, he will never disband. Two words.”
