Recently, the Japanese gossip media "Women Themselves" broke the news that Takuya Kimura is suspected of being unemployed and has not been able to get any job for a long time, and his endorsement has been cut and his income has dropped sharply, so he recently contacted the producer everywhere to find a job, and said:
"My schedule is empty now, I can do anything", "I am free at any time, as long as I have a job, even if it is a supporting role".
According to a TV station worker, Takuya Kimura now has a fairly strong sense of crisis.
Due to the negative impact of Kitagawa's sexual assault incident, Takuya Kimura's advertisement that was originally scheduled to appear in July was cut, and in September, the special part of the TV series "Jiaoba" starring him was announced to be postponed a month before the start of filming. The series was originally scheduled to be filmed for three months and start airing next spring, but as of now, the filming schedule is still far away, even though the producer, Fuji TV, claims that there are "production problems".
Therefore, the 3-month schedule left by Takuya Kimura for the filming of the show directly became a vacancy.
As a famous "desperate Saburo" in the Japanese entertainment industry, the three-month gap in work undoubtedly brought great fear to Takuya Kimura. For this reason, he began to change himself, lower his profile, and take the initiative, and recently frequently contacted TV and film producers who had worked with him before, saying that "as long as it is a good work, even if it is a supporting role, it can be accepted" and "I can do anything".
However, the producers did not dare to use Takuya Kimura easily, and they had some concerns. There are two main considerations:
First, with Takuya Kimura, the cost of production will rise. Even in Takuya Kimura's previous special works, the actors he co-starred in were first-class, so the production cost will rise. There is no guarantee that "let Takuya Kimura play a supporting role" will be cheap.
Second, the use of Takuya Kimura is risky. Affected by the Kitagawa sexual assault incident, even if Genesys changed its name and started anew, now Takuya Kimura continues to stay in Genesys' new company "STARTO", and major TV stations are still staring at STARTO's new artist offers, while paying attention to the dynamics of victim compensation, so as to more carefully discuss whether to use the original Genesys artist.
Therefore, as soon as the producers receive a call from Takuya Kimura, they will invariably tremble.
Even though Japanese netizens have doubts about the authenticity of the report, everyone believes that Takuya Kimura is indeed seriously damaged because of his attitude towards the Kitagawa sexual assault incident.
"I don't know how true the report is, but his work has been reduced a lot. It seems that the future TV series and movies have been decided, but I think the future will be a critical period. In the final analysis, the image of the artist is still very important. ”
"Actually, just keep silent. If such news comes out now, it will not only reduce its commercial value, but also make its image worse. In the face of the problem of sexual assault, after the office held a press conference, but still released those inappropriate news, is there no one around him who understands current affairs? I hope everyone can always pay attention to Takuya Kimura, time will give us the answer. ”
On the Kitagawa sexual assault incident, Takuya Kimura's attitude has been controversial. Even though he has never responded positively to this matter, Japanese netizens think that he has been secretly poking and prodding Kitagawa and Denis, which is completely unacceptable to everyone.
On September 7, Genesys held its first press conference to admit the fact of Kitagawa's sexual assault. On the same day, Takuya Kimura posted a selfie of himself on ins, posing for a salute, and accompanied by "show must go on", which is Kitagawa's famous quote.
Takuya Kimura's words and deeds caused strong discomfort among Japanese netizens, and everyone thought that he was supporting Kitagawa, so he was quickly condemned by netizens, and later forced by public opinion to delete this dynamic.
After this press conference, Japanese companies launched a campaign to "stop using Genesys artists", and Takuya Kimura was not immune. McDonald's and Nissan, with which he has long-term cooperation, said they would no longer use him when his contract expired. Overnight, Takuya Kimura lost two major advertisers.
After one thing, one wisdom. However, Japanese netizens found that even if he was criticized and cut advertisements, Takuya Kimura did not change his position in support of Kitagawa at all.
On October 2, Genesys held its second press conference to announce that the firm had officially changed its name to "SMILE-UP".
Sharp-eyed Japanese netizens caught Takuya Kimura's "sore feet" on this day.
He posted a video of himself and his two dogs taking a leisurely walk on ins, with the text "Step by step! STAY SAFE!”
Japanese netizens were simply angry, and Takuya Kimura accurately stepped on their thunder points every time. Japanese netizens bluntly said that in the face of Kitagawa's long-term sexual assault, Takuya Kimura's appearance of "hanging high on his own" is really not handsome.
In this way, Takuya Kimura's repeated operations directly led to his own powder. Many Japanese netizens commented: The great god has become a "KY monster" (no eyesight, no understanding of current affairs).
According to Japanese media statistics, Takuya Kimura had 4.023 million followers on Instagram on September 11, and it decreased to 3.999 million on October 16, with about 25,000 fans in a month.
At the same time, Fumiharu also came to pour oil, revealing that Takuya Kimura was very disgusted with Denis's name change.
Fumiharu used "strong opposition" to describe Takuya Kimura's attitude towards the company's name change, and Fumiharu claimed that Takuya Kimura had questioned the top management "why did Janis change its name". And reveal that Kimura has come up with the idea of "retreating to independence".
However, Genesys very rarely and quickly came forward to refute the rumors and denied them.
Genesys issued a statement overnight saying that the Wenchun report was purely fabricated. Takuya Kimura has always been actively responding to the anxiety and consultation of his juniors, and Takuya Kimura has been taking the initiative to urge Genesis to change his name as soon as possible, taking into account the feelings of the victims.
Japanese media pointed out that it is rare for Genesys to quickly make a statement for an artist. This shows the importance of Takuya Kimura to Janiss, and Takuya Kimura is a symbol of Janiss.
Since the 90s of the last century, Takuya Kimura has used his own strength and charm to create the "Takuya Kimura Effect" again and again.
At that time, he used to speak of Ms. Canabao's lipstick, which caused lipstick sales to rise and even exceed demand. Its endorsement posters are also often stolen, which shows the fanaticism of fans.
In the past 30 years, almost all of the top five evening TV series with the average rating of Japanese dramas have been starred by him, including "HERO", "Beautiful Life", "Love Century", "Love in the Air", and "Long Vacation".
As long as he wears and does what he does in the play, it will become an enduring fashion trend, which is the "Kimura Takuya effect".
When he played the piano, everyone flocked to learn the piano; when he played the pilot, the rate of pilots applying for the examination increased dramatically; and when he played the role of a prosecutor, everyone went to the public examination.
Until now, the Fumio Kishida cabinet has exposed the "black gold" scandal, and the Tokyo prosecutor has launched a criminal investigation into the "Abe faction", the largest faction of the Liberal Democratic Party, and raided it overnight. When you see this news, everyone will immediately think of "Kulisheng Fair" played by Takuya Kimura.
In fact, "Kurisheng Fair" and the TV series "HERO" did help Takuya Kimura, who was on the verge of being hidden by the snow at the time, to change his life.
At the turn of the millennium, Takuya Kimura, who was at the peak of his career, directly announced his marriage at the concert, and fans turned white overnight, and Takuya Kimura was also on the verge of being banned.
His music and variety shows have all been cut, and only one "HERO" is left to be broadcast.
Unexpectedly, Takuya Kimura was able to take advantage of this salted fish to turn over and return to the top directly. The show became a legendary TV series in the history of Japanese dramas with ratings of more than 30% for every episode. It has always been imitated, but never surpassed.
In the play, the Bape brown down jacket he wore set off a fashion trend, and even this down jacket was directly named "Kimura style" and endured.
After the disbandment of the group SMAP in 2016, Takuya Kimura has been active in his career as an actor and singer in his own capacity. He starred in "Tokyo Hotel" and "Jiaochang", and his reputation and ratings are good. also released a solo album and continued to move forward on the road of acting.
This year has been an eventful year for Takuya Kimura.
According to Japanese media, even if he will have works staged one after another in the future, such as "Tokyo Hotel" decided to be filmed and officially filmed early next year. But in April next year, TV Asahi TV decided to star in a TV series that seems to be shelved. He's got a bit of a work schedule on his plate, but it seems like it's going to be a bit tricky from next summer onwards.
He was criticized by Japanese netizens for his attitude towards the sexual assault incident in Kitagawa, but according to Japanese media, he still maintains absolute loyalty to Genesys' new company.
Recently, Shunsuke Kazama officially announced his independence from the firm. After the Kitagawa sexual assault incident was exposed, from October onwards, Kazuya Ninomiya, Ikuta Doshin, Okada Junichi and other former Genesys celebrities have left the institute one after another.
Now the only people who are still in the new company, belong to the Genesys system, and specialize in actors, are Takuya Kimura and Jun Matsumoto.
As a result, the new company attached great importance to Takuya Kimura and even regarded him as the "eldest son" (prince).
On December 8th, the new company of Genesys (which has gone bankrupt) decided to name it "STARTO", and the new president, Jun Fukuda, was the agent of Reina Noeni, and it was he who helped Reina Noh successfully terminate the contract and quit the firm.
Fukuda attaches great importance to Takuya Kimura. He said that he had already discussed with 160 former Jennis artists, and the first one was to contact Takuya Kimura to convey to him that he was going to take on the heavy responsibility and expressed his hope to get his support.
Takuya Kimura said that Fukuda is a good fit to be the president of the new company.
It was revealed that STARTO will officially start construction next spring. According to the artist's wishes, the company also plans to sign an "agency contract" with the artist, giving the artist the greatest freedom.
Therefore, Takuya Kimura is regarded as the "eldest son" and "pillar" of the new company, and should be the target of key development. But if it is true that as reported by "women themselves", artists have to go out to find jobs and pull business on their own, then wouldn't it be hopeless to stay in this company?
Japanese netizens expressed their concerns and felt sorry for Takuya Kimura.
"But is Takuya Kimura really going to say, 'I can do anything?' Is he like that? If it's true, even if it's nothing special, it's not like a pillar of a new company.
In this special period, I put aside the trouble I caused and went to the TV station and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble this time, but I promise that I will take care of the victims, so I can do anything now, and I will be sure to work for the younger generations as well, so please take care of me." ’
Ah, isn't that supposed to be a more humble act, and if we see our seniors do something like this, our juniors will follow suit. However, for the new president's company, the prince is so flattering because he is worried about losing his job, and his artists will also feel uneasy. ”
Some people also said frankly that the reason why Takuya Kimura had this kind of experience was that he couldn't plan his career.
"I'm a big fan of SMAP and have been eating for over 25 years, and I've loved Mr. Kimura at SMAP. It would be a shame if the reports were true. After the group disbanded, I had questions about Mr. Kimura's career planning and marketing methods, and Ms. Iijima (SMAP agent) was obviously very capable in comparison, but what has Kimura and the people around me learned so far. It is hoped that they will all re-examine their social concepts, positions and perceptions. ”
Some people bluntly said that they couldn't find a job because Takuya Kimura was not able to do it, and his acting skills had not improved at all over the years.
"I don't want to watch TV or movies with Takuya Kimura anymore. Because he always thinks he is the most handsome, and his acting skills are also routine and templated. Now there are many actors with good acting skills and good looks. Some people are in their 50s and still have good acting skills. ”
Some people feel that Takuya Kimura wants to lower his posture now, and it is too late.
"Even if it's a supporting role, I think 'Whatever you do, it's Takuya Kimura,' that won't change. If we can have such a sense of crisis and act early, we may be able to change. However, now that I am in my 50s, it will be difficult to grow up in the future. ”
"I think it's right not to stick to the main character, but it feels like it's too late. He doesn't seem to be a starring actor since a few years ago, so he failed in both movies and TV series. Compared with acting skills, he is more of a popular actor who is blessed by his appearance and set off by the actors around him. Now that I'm older, my acting strength is a problem after my appearance has declined. Besides, his family is also dragging his feet, and I don't think he can perform as popular works as before. ”
Many people believe that Takuya Kimura's inability to find a job is to a certain extent dragged down by his family, because none of his family members are worry-free.
The first is his wife, Shizuka Kudo. This self-possessed "inflammatory" physique has been the "public enemy of the whole people" of the Japanese for many years. Because of her marriage to Takuya Kimura, a time bomb was installed on her private car, and she received several packages of baby dolls covered in blood, which led to hospitalization and recuperation.
The two daughters are often found faulty and disgusted by Japanese netizens at every turn.
Although his younger brother Toshisaku Kimura rarely shows his face, he is "a blockbuster if he doesn't make a sound", and this one is even more heavyweight.
This year, Japanese media exposed that Toshisaku Kimura not only cheated and had violent tendencies, but even threatened his lover with his brother Takuya Kimura.
Toshisaku Kimura is 7 years younger than Takuya Kimura, and judging from their appearance, the two don't seem to be related by blood. In fact, the relationship between the two is quite average.
According to Japanese media reports, since Takuya Kimura married Shizuka Kudo in 2000, Takuya Kimura has been estranged from his parents and younger brother.
It is said that this is because Takuya Kimura is dissatisfied with his mother's addiction to similar spiritual metaphysics and gathers people all day to give metaphysical lectures, so he chooses to stay away.
The younger brother is a big man, a former American football professional, represented Japan in games, created his own clothing brand after retiring, and also coached a football team in college.
He got married in 2004, when his brother Takuya Kimura also went to the wedding. He built a house and raised two children in his wife's hometown of Kochi, but later left the children in Kochi and handed them over to his wife to raise, and moved to Tokyo to live on his own.
In 2020, he deceived the feelings of a young woman, Azi, under the pretext of "wanting a divorce". Whenever A asks when he will get a divorce, he keeps prevaricating on various grounds, such as the child's birthday, and even saying that the divorce will be divorced when the child is an adult.
Once he went crazy and punched a private car, was arrested on the spot, and even threatened the police: "I will be a teenager until I die."
Later, when Ako suddenly visited his hometown, he went to the police station to report the crime, and threatened Kimura Takuya on the grounds that "you can expose it, but you will be killed by my brother's company." ”
The fox fake tiger is powerful, and then he blocked Azi.
In May of this year, Ako suddenly received a phone call from the other party saying that he was going to marry Shunsaku. Azi later asked Junsaku's friends and learned that they had been together at the end of last year, that is, the time when Junsaku threatened and blocked her.
Japanese media asked Shunsaku if he had used his brother Takuya Kimura to threaten his lover, and he flatly denied it.
Therefore, some Japanese netizens suggested that Takuya Kimura could completely follow the example of the Kardashian family in the United States, make the whole family an Internet celebrity, and make a reality show.
"It's just a matter of becoming an internet celebrity as a family. If you have a keen producer and your family, the number of INS fans will already exceed one million, right? If you can put it into action, not only fans, but also those sunspots will be happy. Food, pets, grooming, and other popular influencer content are readily available, no matter what, it will be more popular than it is now, right? It's no longer Genesys, just do what you like. ”
Some Japanese netizens borrowed the classic Japanese drama "Long Holiday" starring Takuya Kimura and persuaded him to "give yourself a long vacation".
"Heck, it's nice to learn to enjoy and take a break once in a while. How about taking a break and traveling, if you're busy, maybe looking at things from a different perspective and seeing this time as a gift from God?"
I don't know if I saw this comment from netizens, Takuya Kimura really went abroad. It is unclear whether he is going on vacation or working, however, he has been blamed by netizens for a selfie.
On December 19, Takuya Kimura posted a selfie with his passport in his mouth, saying that he was going abroad.
However, Japanese netizens are criticizing his selfie pose, thinking that it is very unhygienic, ugly, and simply "dirt exploded"
"Are you still a child? People don't want to delve into anything abroad, but please behave like an adult. With a passport in your mouth like this, the relevant personnel at the airport will touch it... You're not a naughty old age anymore. ”
"It's really unhygienic to hold your passport in your mouth! Because you're called a handsome guy, isn't it a dirty thing to be reminded of? How old are you, and you're still so rude and rude..."
There are many popular people, even if there are many voices of decline, Takuya Kimura's starring works in recent years have never stopped, and the high popularity is obvious to all.
In 2022, when he appeared as Oda Nobunaga at the Gifu Nobunaga Festival, he attracted 460,000 onlookers.
The cast and crew who co-starred were full of praise for him.
Ten years ago, Takuya Kimura went to the chef in charge of cooking during a filming shoot to thank them.
If the shooting time is too long, he will also thank the staff around him: "Thank you for your hard work, and you persevered until late at night." ”
Many staff members said that thanks to him, the working atmosphere has become harmonious and friendly.
Known as "Desperate Saburo", his appearance is his most insignificant advantage.
His life is in the balance, and he once specialized in high-intensity training when he played a racing driver. Dislocated arms in acting are commonplace, and for the sake of variety shows, strained ligaments are also not hesitated.
Finally, I hope that Takuya Kimura will learn from the experience of the past, readjust, and reinvigorate. I also hope that he can always be curious and self-motivated about the world as he said:
"If there is a first prize, then I will see it as my life goal. I hope that my children will be like me, never admitting defeat and always being curious and self-motivated about the world. Whatever you do, give it your all. In my opinion, cool people are those who can fight hard in different situations. ”
