The reason why it will create a new record in ratings is because there are enough points to watch this year, in addition to the same as in previous years, there are various J handsome guys who break the combination limitations and carry out various mix-and-match cooperation, and the most anticipated thing for the audience this year is the last combination of "Taki and Wing".
Founded in 2002, the idol group "タッキー & Wing", which consisted of Hideaki Takizawa and Imai Wing, made its DEBUT ON CD in the same year, and has also been active in stage plays and has a high popularity.
But in September 2018, they suddenly announced that the group would be dissolved.
One of the members, Imai Wing, who suffered from Meniere's syndrome and other poor physical conditions, had been admitted to the hospital for several emergency examinations, and he said, "I have caused trouble for Takizawa, and I have also caused trouble to all the relevant personnel and companies, thinking that I can't go on like this, so I chose to spend more time recuperating my body and decided to leave the Janis office."
Hideaki Takizawa also chose to quit the art class and instead joined the behind-the-scenes team of Janis, taking over the work of cultivating new talents and coordinating the production of stage plays personally managed by President Kitagawa, and also taking over the newly established Star Training School of the J family, which was the first training school opened by The Janis Office since its founding in 1962.
At the suggestion of their predecessor SMAP Masahiro, they decided to "thank and say goodbye to the fans", so they not only limited the one-night resurrection program "8 O'Clock J. First and Final College Students' Meeting!" ", but also left the final performance to this J family New Year's Eve concert, which is also the first time that there are retired artists on stage to perform.
When the two appeared on the stage, they could not hide their excitement when they saw the fans in the audience. Hideaki Takizawa looked at the audience with red eyes, and Imai Wing tugged at his heart, looking excited. They sang many classic songs including "Venus" and "Dream Story" in a row.
Other J-artists on the stage also held up the "Taki and Wing" fan, which reads "23 years of hard work" on the fan to help the two final performances.
From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, they were the pillars and leaders of the "Janis Jr." (the undeputed Janis artist), a generation known as the Golden Generation Jr., which included the limited group "Four Tops" composed of Tomohisa Yamashita, Doujin Ikuda, Shunsuke Kazema, and Jun Hasegawa.
In order to send off the seniors, the four people who have developed in different fields have gathered for nearly 20 years, standing behind Taki and Wing, and once again acting as an accompanist for the seniors. It is worth mentioning that the four of them once again put on Jr. costumes, turning the time back 17 years ago, making fans shed the tears of the times.
On the way to the singing, there are four people pushing the two seniors, which means that the two seniors are pushed and sent them into a new journey of life. Backstage at the concert, they also excitedly posted a group photo
At the end of the concert, the audience sang the classic song "Can do!" Can go!》
As seniors, Kiyuki Higashiyama and Koichi Domoto (with Tsuyoshi Domoto printed on their clothes) also came to the scene and took the stage to send flowers and hugs to Hideaki Takizawa and Imai Wing.
Imai said: "In the future, we will follow our own paths and will strive to repay everyone's support for us all the time." Hideaki Takizawa also said goodbye at the end: "In the past 23 years, I have really lived a very good life!" Thank you. ”
In addition, another highlight of this year's J Family New Year's Eve is the special performance of Arashi, who celebrated the 20th anniversary of his debut in 2019, singing "A・RA・SHI", "Happiness" and "Thank You カンゲキ雨岚".
Sho Sakurai, who had just finished hosting the "Red and White Song Society", also rushed to the scene of the Tokyo Dome J cross, and Xiang's brother was also hard.
