Twilight of Japan's "Male Empire"

author:Half-Buddha immortals, this immortal
Twilight of Japan's "Male Empire"
"The nearly 70-year-old male boss put asleep the male trainees of his company"

An ordinary day in 1999.

The famous entertainment magazine "Weekly Wenchun" exploded a large melon with several pages.

The protagonist of the big melon is the Janis office.

Entertainment giant that has incubated many top boy bands.

Its most well-known artist is Takuya Kimura.

In the report, Janis's black material includes:

a. Do not sign a labor contract and let the artist work as a small black worker.

b. Condone underage entertainers to smoke and drink and burn their heads.

Readers are not interested in these allegations.

What was really irritating was an allegation about The Janis boss himself.

Janis's boss, Kitagawa Jeni, an old man who is nearly 70 years old.

Some unspeakable behaviors were performed on young male trainees.

"Kitagawa Sang's hair is heavy and prickly. As soon as his pajamas came off, his mouth came up, and he would touch his teeth, which hurt. ”

Sigh, the sense of picture has.

After reading the report, Mr. Jenny's blood pressure came up.

Slander, sue it, lose money.

In 2000, a Tokyo court ruled that Weekly Bunchun lost.

However, some of the reports were found to be true.

The part of the sexual assault is indeed true.

Pay less, but also sleep with the boss.

The key is whether the boss is still of the same sex.

It is hard to imagine that artists who are about to enter the new century can live so desperately.

But in this empire that has dominated the Japanese entertainment industry for half a century and created the love bean culture.

Anything is possible.

In addition to giving money.

Jenny's father was a Japanese monk who traveled to the United States at the age of 27 to spread Buddhism.

He had two sons and a daughter in the United States.

Pudu sentient beings, belong to yes.

It's not just the Dharma that's being sown, it's also its own kind.

One of the sons was Jenny.

My daughter's name is Mary, and we'll talk about her later.

In 1960, Johnny worked at the U.S. Embassy in Japan. One day when he was walking around, he found a few boys playing baseball in the park, and they played ok, so he formed an amateur baseball team.

And gave the baseball team a simple and straightforward name.

“Johnny’s Boys baseball Team”。

Abbreviated, JB Baseball Team.

It's pretty straightforward indeed.

Especially the word baseball, if you take it apart directly, it is even more outrageous.

One day it was raining so much that Jenny took his baseball team's younger siblings to see the musical West End Story.

Musicals, bouncing around.

We can do this job too.

So the baseball team began to imitate musicals like "West End Story" and practice song and dance.

After some time, Jenny discovered that the baseball team lads didn't have much playing skills.

But singing and dancing are getting better and better.

Playing professional baseball is out of reach, but it is also a step away from entering the professional showbiz circle.

This is called, stylistic two blossoms.

2

In 1962, the Janis office was born.

The first artists were the four boys of the baseball team.

The owner's name was Johnny, so the group's name was Johnny's.

Novel singing and dancing, uniform aesthetics.

Of course, the main thing is:

Hormones that are about to come out.

The young flesh is always the source of traffic.

Now it's short videos, it used to be TV.

Looking at these young flesh, the housewives who are the main audience of television are reluctant to change stations.

Janis just in time for the peak of TV traffic.

Two years later, the Tokyo Olympics were successfully held, and the penetration rate of television sets in Japanese households reached an astonishing rate:

90%。

A large audience is the cornerstone of an entertainment empire.

In order to impress women, the number one criterion for artist selection is undoubtedly "handsome".

There are differences in the aesthetics of people in each era, and it is not easy to find a handsome person who grows on the aesthetic point of fans.

Janis's greatest ability is that in every era, his family's love beans are the most recognized handsome guys at that time.

If you want to do the business of artist agency, the most important ability is aesthetics.

You have to know what's best.

3

In 1967, Johnny's, which had been in existence for five years, was dissolved.

The first combination is just a test subject.

But it gave Janis a clear direction forward.

[Idol], this road can be walked.

That same year, Janis launched a new group, Four Leaves.

Four Leaves is modeled after the American music group The Jackson5, with a brisk stage style with soft rock and R&B.

One of its singles made it into the top 10 of the Japanese ORICON charts.

Idols don't actually need to be particularly musically talented, nor do they need to have the potential to become dance kings.

But it has to be a way to get the fans engaged.

Every little bit of progress I make on the stage is inseparable from your support and companionship.

Of course, the most important thing is [regular consumption].

You know, fans don't consume the idol's musical works, but the idol himself.

Idols are working hard, idols are growing.

This sense of spiritual satisfaction will make fans willing to pay.

In order to reach idols, they have to buy magazines, buy peripherals, and go to concerts.

Four leaves open up this business logic.

But it's not quite through.

Fans have, but not many.

Soon, Four Leaves gave Janis more surprises.

The surprise did not come from Four Leaves, but from one of Four Leaves' dancing teenagers.

Hiromi Goh (Hiromi Go).

Twilight of Japan's "Male Empire"

In 1970, at the age of 15, Yumi Became a Janis artist.

When he danced with Four Leaves, he unconsciously accumulated popularity.

Everybody's asking.

Hey, this little guy is handsome, who is this?

Yumi Go began to have her own fan group.

Unlike the tough and handsome guys in Japan, Yumi Go has created a whole new genre:

Feminine and handsome.

Two years later, Janis officially introduced Yumi Xiang to the market.

Because it already has popularity, and then debut with the trend, the winning rate is simply not too high.

Yumi Go's debut album was on the O Chart Weekly Top 10, winning the 14th Japan Record Awards and Newcomer Award.

The following year, Yumi Go's single won the O chart again, and the annual sales of the photo album ranked first in Japan.

At the age of eighteen, Yumi Gogo became the most popular fried chicken in Japan.

It also opened up the previously unknown Janis to open up popularity.

The essence of idol business is gambling.

Chips are a batch of artists.

As long as there are many quantities, the probability game can always be played.

4

Yumi Xiang was hit, which gave Janis more attention.

Subsequently, a system of trainees began to be established.

First selected from thousands of candidates, then learn entertainment skills, and then by mature stars to play hands (as an accompaniment), accumulate stage experience and popularity, and finally the best official debut.

Assembly line, industrialization.

Trainees, are pure consumables.

Janis's trainees have a proper noun called Johnnys' Junior (Jr.).

Trainees have a long training cycle and take four to six years to "graduate".

Every year, tens of thousands of Japanese teenagers submit resumes to Janis.

Among the tens of thousands of resumes, Janis selected boys between the ages of eight and fifteen to train.

In the end, the only people who enter the formal training process are:

100 people.

These 100 little Janis were trained, fought, and then after a breakout, they were selected as accompaniment dancers.

If you are lucky, you will be selected by the boss and officially join the group to become an debut idol.

If you become an idol, you can enjoy the performance and the share of the surrounding sales.

Just, equivalently, with [edit].

Went ashore.

[Singing and Dancing] is the most basic training course for little Janis.

Also learn everything about the stage: hosting, stage plays, movies, television, music creation, acrobatics, magic, musical instruments, crosstalk, painting design, screenwriting, martial arts.

It's almost [biting the lighter].

The Janis artists who can break through the siege are almost all-powerful, and each one has a unique skill, hanging other company artists.

Not only is it more handsome than you, but also the comprehensive artistic ability is better than you.

If you don't roll, I'll roll.

The cake is so big, see who has more desire to share it.

Janis artists are also very clear about their positioning.

No matter how good your acting skills and singing, you will only say that you are "love beans".

Ninomiya Kazumi, a member of the Arashi group, is also a recognized veteran drama bone, and in an interview, he will still deliberately emphasize that he is not an actor.

"I'm just a singing and dancing bean."

A perfect idol needs to be a hexagonal warrior, leaving no flaws.

5

In the early days, Janis was small and could only focus on two things.

Dig up artists and cultivate artists.

Packaging and marketing, but also have to ask others.

Responsible for this part of the work was Watanabe Productions, Japan's largest entertainment company at the time.

But people's appetite is constantly expanding.

After The successive popularity of Four Leaves and Xiang Yumi, Janis hopes that he can control the entire industrial chain:

The knife is sharpened, and I can cut the leeks myself.

At this time, there were not many Janis artists, but they were already famous.

In January 1975, The Janis Company was formally established and involved in the production field.

Progress from workshop to production company.

A large sharp knife, rising.

But on April 1, April Fool's Day, Yumi Xiang made a "joke" to Janis:

Leave Janis.

And joined the competitor with six young Janis: BURNING Productions.

Upon hearing the news, Jenny passed out.

But he had no choice but to watch Xiang Yumi leave.

BURNING's boss, a driver for Japanese political tycoon Koichi Hamada, has a close relationship with the Yamaguchi group.

Gangster.

Private Marseille, can not afford to offend.

The departure of Yumi Xiang gave the thriving Janis a head-on blow.

To avoid the next backstabbing, Janis revamps himself into a tighter fit:

[Closed Kingdom].

Stricter management and finer contracts.

You are not allowed to fall in love, you cannot sign at will, and you are not allowed to appear in public with the opposite sex.

Even, motorbikes are not allowed.

If the contract does not expire, it is impossible to lose money.

At the same time, he also painted large cakes for the artists.

Follow me, there is meat to eat.

All the perverted demands about idols today come from them.

6

After Yumi Xiang left, Janis fell to the bottom.

Soon, Shiba's popularity also declined, and he eventually disbanded.

The other two combinations, VIP and Three Yankees, are also not popular.

Not only are trainees consumables, but also debut idols.

People are creatures who like the new and hate the old, and the freshness will always pass.

Idols need to be constantly exposed.

Constant exposure can increase the number of fans and stickiness.

Jenny's sister, Kitagawa Marie, is responsible for the company's finances and artist management.

In order to promote Janis's artists, she rode through various TV stations every day in the scorching sun, and finally gave Janis artists the opportunity to participate in the TV series "2 Years B Group Senba Mr. Xianba".

The show's ratings set the highest ratings of the year.

The idols who participated in the show also became famous.

The idols were pinched into two combinations: The Shibu Persimmon Team and the Tanokin Trio.

Do you think that this path to fame is very familiar?

Some domestic love beans are also tepid in the boy band, and they have become the top stream through acting.

Decades ago, Japan played it.

Mary didn't waste her efforts, and both the Shibuki Team and Tanokin Trio became Janis's super printing machines.

With enough cash flow, you can increase the winning rate of the next idol group.

In 1985, the junior team was born, which pushed Janis's influence overseas.

Janis, come alive.

Even Korean idols go to sea and learn the set of Janis.

So a lot of people call Janis called it.

Father of SM.

7

Compared with the wave of climax of the boy band, the Female Artists of Janis have always been tepid.

This is actually quite normal, do you remember the first sentence of this article?

Jenny himself was more interested in boys.

In 1984, Janis announced that he would no longer train female artists.

Put all your energy into building a big product:

[Male color].

You know, male colors encompass men of all ages and styles.

The popularity of the "Junior Team" has not decreased, and another new group, "Hikari GENJI", is even more sought after as a new idol dancing in roller skates.

The style is avant-garde and the dance is bold.

The boys wore shorts to show off their thighs, their tops unbuttoned, and sometimes simply took off their clothes.

Tut-tut-tut, Teacher Niu couldn't see his legs together.

In 1988, Light GENJI dominated the top three O chart songs of the year, and the album was the first to sell annually.

Janis also finally understands his core competitiveness, that is:

Defines what a male idol for women is.

Entertainment empire Janis subtly influenced the fans' idol choices.

Especially underage girls.

Because they have long figured out who will spend money without a brain.

This set of rice circles has been played badly for decades.

8

Underage girls are Janis's precise clients.

In the trainee stage before the idol debuted, Janis began to cultivate the mystery of the little Janis and the female fans.

In fact, fans are also a kind of trainee.

Fans "graduated" with Aidou and continued to "support" each other in the track of life growth.

You loved them when you were fifteen and will love them when you were seventy-five.

And the best way to love them is to spend money on them.

There is a threshold for fans who want to become idols.

That threshold is money.

If you want to become a fan of an idol, you need to join the corresponding club.

A membership fee of several thousand yen is required.

In the 1980s, Japan's economy took off.

Female fans who grew up with trainees are also pursuing the expansion of women's power at the same time.

Men like women, and women can of course openly like men.

It was also during this period that Japanese cowherd culture began to become popular.

And Janis male love beans, is the top number of fans can not afford to buy.

They dress sexily, behave elegantly, and speak appropriately, in line with all the definitions of women for romantic boys.

Ushirō's Takabō edition book.

The bean lovers are "holy", at least in the imagination of fans.

It is the existence of fans full of all beautiful yearning.

[Light GENJI] also has one more selling point.

Beauty. Beauty. Beauty.

Doesn't it feel familiar again?

The delicate relationship between the members of [Light GENJI] makes the girls have unlimited reverie.

Relying on these ways, [Light GENJI] reached its peak in 1992 and was almost invincible.

Became one of the strongest versions in The History of Janis.

But two years later, the once-ace duo quickly fell.

Day by day, it was disbanded.

Who beat Light GENJI?

9

It is the Japanese economy.

In the early 1990s, japan's economic bubble burst.

Everybody's poor.

Fans don't feel much about a star with a perfect image.

The work is not settled, who still cares about the beautiful man.

Don't say spend money on you, it's very unpleasant to see you.

Obviously, I am not doing well, but you are still glamorous, which is not polite.

The same action, which used to feel vibrant, now only feels ironic and boring.

Don't pretend, okay.

Major television stations have also drastically reduced the proportion of music programs, shifting the focus to variety shows with simple scenes.

The economic downturn is not happy, so find a way to make everyone happy.

If you are happy, you are willing to pay money.

In 1991, several boys who originally danced with [Light GENJI] debuted.

That is, the famous SMAP.

Masahiro Nakai, Takuya Kimura, Goro Hiageki, Tsubasa Kusanagi, Shingo Katori, and Hiroyuki Mori.

SMAP's initial album sales were dismal.

The company sees no hope and wants to fend for itself.

SMAP doesn't even have its own broker and can only drink the northwest wind every day.

Jenis agent Michi Iijima took the initiative to undertake the management of SMAP.

With the intervention of Michiru Iijima, SMAP did not die on music programs, but started from variety shows.

Of course, this is also forced.

With their small transparent state at that time, they could only solve the problem of food and clothing through variety shows.

Once the idol turned popular by variety shows, do you feel very familiar?

In Japan at that time, the slightly famous love beans were very repulsive to variety shows.

Aidou needs to remain mysterious and reserved, and attract fans with the most perfect side.

If you are on a variety show, you need to put down your baggage and accept the whole show.

Like a clown.

But a miracle happened.

SMAP not only did not disappear because of the funny variety show, but it became a hit.

Because Janis single-handedly pulled up the appearance of the funny artist.

After all, anyone in this group pulls out, it can cause a fatal blow to Kitano Takeshi.

Since then, it has begun to cooperate with various TV companies to launch a series of funny variety shows hosted by their own artists.

No matter which channel you switch to, there are Janis artists playing treasure on the screen.

Idols have become everyone's big stinky treasures.

Idols are idols because they can do what fans can't.

They can bounce around in good times, but they deserve more in times of bad times.

For example, play ugly.

Who wouldn't want to see a big handsome guy fall off the altar and be as miserable as himself?

Since then, Janis artist = singing + dancing + acting + variety show funny.

It can be said that it is the Japanese version of the Tokuunsha boy band.

The leeks are still those leeks, just cut in a different way.

The company will teach them the art of words, and they will pay for the leeks until the spring heart.

At the fan meeting, the fans said: I like you.

The average person might answer: I like you too.

Not enough flirting.

"No, no, no, I like you."

If a fan asks: Please marry me!

Janis Bean will answer:

Little idiot, this sentence should be right for me!

, they're so good at it.

10

In 1993, countless young girls met Takuya Kimura through the TV series "White Paper on Love".

Takuya Kimura's boy band SMAP has also begun to attract more attention.

Fuji TV has created a variety show "SMAP X SMAP" for SMAP.

Handsome guys play treasure, guest big names.

Shingo Katori and Takuya Kimura even transformed into women's clothing bosses in the show.

Just ask the audience for fun.

And the guests are more than one heavyweight, such as Michael Jackson and Beckham.

Much like Mango Station's "Every Day Upwards".

SMAP became the god of the version in the Japanese boy band, and also raised Janis to a transcendent position.

In the weak Japanese economy, Janis artists once assumed the role of "stimulating domestic demand".

If an industry wants to seek better development, it will find Janis artists to do publicity.

It is best to have Takuya Kimura bring the goods.

Takuya Kimura became a famous Asian "Tenno" level artist.

The advertising products he endorsed have almost become blockbusters.

From lipstick to body beauty, Takuya Kimura endorses what fire.

He could even create a short-term boom in an industry.

Playing a pianist in "The Long Holiday", the sales of Yamaha pianos increased dramatically.

In "GOOD LUCK!! As a pilot, JAL will receive a large number of job applications.

Playing a hair stylist in "A Beautiful Life", he was photographed at all East Asian wash and blow shops.

Played an ice hockey player in "Ice Lovers", and the sport of ice hockey became popular in Japan.

Janis hit the iron while it was hot and launched the combinations of Arashi, Taki and Wing, sexy Zone and so on.

Out of one, out of fire one.

Joining Janis became the dream of many young people.

Even parents will try their best to encourage their children to submit resumes to Janis.

Jenny checks tens of thousands of resumes every day (here I have to note, I actually don't believe this sentence, because I used to read 500 resumes a day when I was hiring, and almost sent me away as a king), or personally responsible for the interview.

On the one hand, he wants to pick the best potential stocks.

On the other hand, the main thing is that there is no desire to share this power with others.

Artists are the most core property of Janis, and they also determine the success or failure of Janis.

Jenny's interview is very much like the kind of story in the story club.

He would pretend to be a security guard and talk to the interviewer.

Look at how they treat people and things, and then judge this person by their words, deeds, and faces.

Of course, he also has times when he looks away, such as Pass's later popularity, Hongo Sodo.

Looking at the appearance is the core competitiveness of an entertainment company.

11

Jenny does not like to show his face, leaving a line in everything, and will dig his heart out for the artist.

The only downside is that sometimes it's not necessarily the heart that comes out.

It could be another organ.

Sister Ma Li did not care about the artist's face at all.

A red face, a white face.

For the sake of Janis's overall interests, the two agree in the general direction.

Except for one thing.

Succession issues.

Ma Li has an only daughter named Jingzi, who is the only second generation of the family.

But Jingzi is a mother and has no opinion.

The old man prefers Iijima Michi.

Almost single-handedly, Iijima ignited SMAP and propelled Janis to the top.

Janis's artists are divided into three factions, the Iijima faction, the Auntie faction, and the neutral faction sandwiched between them.

Iijima and Marie are incompatible.

Ma Li once told Iijima to roll in front of reporters.

But what really made Iijima lose his voice in the company was not Ma Li.

It's Takuya Kimura.

12

Iijima has strict management of artists, and even if Takuya Kimura is the king, his emotional life must be regulated.

She explicitly opposes Takuya Kimura and Shizuka Kudo's love affair and beats Mandarin Duck with a stick.

Others bump CP, she specializes in cp.

Kudo Shizuka wrote down the account in a small book.

In 2000, he married Takuya Kimura and Shizuka Kudo.

Once married, they become real partners.

Broker?

That's an outsider.

With the help of the pillow wind, Takuya Kimura gradually distanced herself from Iijima.

Alienation means taking sides.

The Iijima faction collapsed in an instant.

Eventually, Iijima left Janis with three members of SMAP and founded the Cult Company.

People who have the ability will be able everywhere.

Iijima's new company is growing well: the love of fans is still there, and the performances and advertising contracts are continuous.

So, here's a reminder.

If you want to start a business, just stay on the platform for a few more years and dry up resources.

Use the boss's money to accumulate the cost of entrepreneurship.

13

In the general direction of the company, the Jenny siblings maintained a high degree of consistency.

For example, the issue of portrait rights.

For a long time, the video material of Janis artists was only licensed to five magazines.

If other media directly send photos, they will wait to lose money.

The Cubs did not dare to send photos, and they would be sued by Janis for ruin.

So there is some hot news only text and no photos.

Although the photo is in the paparazzi's camera.

In this way, fans naturally do not believe the paparazzi report.

Netizens all over the world are the same.

No picture, you say JB.

Some time ago, a photo of Oguri lying naked was made public.

A large number of fans wept bitterly, and the idol collapsed.

Janis looked at it and said huh.

If it were under my banner, you wouldn't have rolled over at all.

Twilight of Japan's "Male Empire"

How good is Janis's control?

The artists mentioned in the magazines and newspapers of Janis are all black shadows.

There used to be no Internet, and newspapers and magazines could barely see idols, so how could we collect photos of idols?

Of course, it was bought from Janis officially.

Isn't that how leeks are cut?

Where there is scarcity, there is a high premium.

Relying on the monopoly of peripheral copyrights, Janis made a lot of money.

But the good days are not long.

The advent of the Internet directly killed Janis's golden hen.

No, it's directly stewed.

The screens that people focus on have shifted from televisions to computers.

Then there's the phone.

In the PC Internet era, the length of time spent on the Internet, Janis can still stubbornly resist.

But Janis artists also have a lot less exposure than other entertainment companies.

The Jenny siblings don't understand the Internet, and they don't know how to use the Internet to harvest fans.

Causing Janis to miss the internet age.

In 2018, when short videos are about to become mainstream, Janis finally reacted:

Pay attention to the Internet!

Yes, the village netting has just been repaired.

This year, ARASHI launched YouTube, and major media outlets were allowed to use their own photos of Janis artists in their reports.

The little black man was finally gone.

But Janis's own business is almost gone.

14

When it comes to business, you can't help but talk about money.

Janis's main income comes from concerts, records, dues, and peripheral products.

As well as remuneration, advertising endorsements, stage plays.

Millions of fans pay less than 10 billion yen a year.

Expensive peripheral products, there are also many fans to pay, a photo of love beans can sell for twelve yuan.

Although the cake is made very large, there is a problem with the distribution mechanism.

Jenny is rich, loves beans poor.

Little Janis can only receive a fixed salary every month, earn Weibo, even if there are stage performances, there are advertising contracts, this money does not belong to them.

Artists who have graduated and debuted, most of his income must also be handed over to the company.

Doesn't it look familiar again?

That's right, the trainee set, both domestic and Korean, learned Janis.

In addition, the special volume of the Japanese showbiz circle, the single film remuneration, endorsement income is very low compared to the Chinese counterparts.

In the end, the actual income is similar to that of ordinary white-collar workers.

For Janis, they are in a monopoly position in the Japanese male artist market, and they also have the courage to squeeze artists.

And if the artist has no money, he will still rely on the company.

It can also bring the greatest return on revenue to the company.

When Takuya Kimura swept Asia that year, her monthly income was stronger than that of white-collar workers.

It's not cool to change anyone.

15

The salary scandal is relatively easy to resolve, and the biggest headache for Johnny and Janis is the sex scandal that has affected it so far.

At Janis, the artist's private morality is more important than anything else, and there is zero tolerance for any violation of private morality.

The only embarrassment is that the biggest private scandal comes from the boss himself.

Since 1988, several Janis employees have reported that Johnny has been sexually assaulted.

In 2005, shogo Jr. Janis Kiyama published a book called "To Smap, to All Those Who Have Been Sexually Harassed by Janis."

The book says that "Little Janis" needs to sell his flesh in exchange for Johnny's favor and use this to support him.

Although the evidence was present and involved minors, the police refused to file an investigation on the grounds that no charges had been brought.

The Japanese media also rarely reported on the incident.

Perhaps intimidated by Janis's influence.

After all, their artists are the biggest source of traffic, do you want traffic?

Even after Jenny's death, the Japanese media published almost no mention of the sex scandal in his life, completely portraying his life trajectory in a positive image.

The only thing to gossip about is how Jenny's legacy is divided.

16

Janis created the business model of "Love Beans".

Janis Love Bean also deeply influenced the male culture of East Asian countries. Male celebrities gradually tend to be feminine and delicate, and the culture of beauty has also begun to prevail.

The standard for male color has also changed from a muscular macho man to a young and beautiful man with smooth skin.

This aesthetic culture swept across East Asia, thanks to Janis.

Janis built a vast empire of Asian icons, and over a period of six decades, generations of top boy bands were launched.

At that time, idols all over Asia were rubbing Janis.

Won Bin is known as "Takuya Kimura of Korea" and Jung Iken is known as "Takuya Kimura of Hong Kong".

Now, that prosperity no longer exists.

South Korea's K-Pop idols have swept the world and become the new king of Asian pop culture.

It has even taken the attention of Japanese women from Janis.

For example, Princess Aiko's favorite love bean is EXO's Bian Boxian.

The BTS Bulletproof Youth League, BIGBANG, and EXO took turns to storm the Japanese market and squeeze out the already shrinking Japanese pop industry.

The idol industry as a whole is in decline.

In a way, Janis is not selling love beans, but male color.

The scandal didn't beat Janis, the Japanese economic decline didn't beat Janis, but the times beat Janis.

The rise of the mobile Internet, especially short videos, has had a great impact on the business of "male color".

Everyone's attention was distracted.

Because, in the short video, there is everything.

I hope that when you go online, you will see less strange things.

Take care of your body.
