politicqxs 358 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Speculation that the boyband – now on the cusp of middle age – were to split up came after the Nikkan Sports newspaper reported that four of its five members had decided to leave Johnny and Associates, the powerful talent agency headed by the octogenarian pop impresario Johnny Kitagawa. The cause of the split is the decision by the band’s manager, Michi Iijima, to resign from the agency and, it is rumoured, launch a rival company. Four of Smap’s five members appeared ready to join Iijima, leaving behind arguably the band’s most popular performer, Takuya Kimura. Johnny and Associates confirmed the split in a brief statement released on Wednesday, but refused to discuss the reason while the parties were “still in the negotiation phase”. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jan/13/breakup-beloved-boyband-smap-shocks-japanese-pop-fans giving up sodomy and moving to 🇦🇪 converting to ☪ and marrying four girls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
