If you are a Japanese food, if you have a Japanese food around you, I believe you must have heard of Japan's largest "star-chasing holy land" - Janis!
Jenis is a Japanese artist agency founded in 1975, the firm has been dominated by male artists and male idol groups for many years, and most of the popular male stars who are active in the Japanese entertainment industry such as Takuya Kimura, Masahiro Nakai, Tomohisa Yamashita, Doujin Ikuta, Sho Sakurai, Ryo Nishikido, Kazuya Ninomiya, Jun Matsumoto, Tomoru Ohno, Masaki Aiba, Ryosuke Yamada, Yuho Nakajima, and so on are from this firm.
Origin of the firm
This is to introduce the world's happy grandfather, JOHNNY Kitagawa. Grandpa Hi was born in Los Angeles, USA, the older sister is Mary Kitagawa, there is her role in the back, and the brother is also very powerful, a scientist who designed Apollo at NASA. The Kitagawa family returned to Japan in 1933, but soon after their mother died, and World War II began. After Japan's defeat in the war, Grandpa Xi returned to the United States, studied, worked or something, once took on the stage management work in the stage performance, watched the performance very moved, and had the idea of attacking the Japanese art world.
In 1952, Grandpa Hee returned to Japan to work as a translator at the U.S. Embassy, and he learned Korean within 10 months in order to teach English to orphans in the Korean War. The university is Sophia University. Learn to be grandpa.
In the early 1960s, Grandpa Hi organized a baseball team by teaching more than 30 boys nearby to play baseball in the large plaza inside WASHINGTON HIGHTS, a U.S.-occupied land next to Yoyogi Stadium. Because Grandpa Hi's name is Johnny, this team is called Johnny's, and this baseball team is the predecessor of Janis.
Regarding Grandpa Hi, the biggest character controversy should be that someone says that he is a pedophile. The following about this paragraph is all the content that the wiki moved: several former Janis artists have written books, which accuse Grandpa Xi of molesting male artists. ↓
In 1999, Wen Chun also conducted a special episode to report on this matter, and also reported on the underage smoking in the firm. Grandpa Xi took Wen Chun to court in the name of reputational damages, demanding 100 million yen in damages. At the first instance, Grandpa Xi won the case, and the court demanded that Wen Chun pay 8.8 million yuan. Wen Chun did not accept the appeal, and the judge at the second instance found that Grandpa Xi was indeed gay, and this Wen Chun was not wrong, so he reduced the compensation by 1.2 million. Grandpa Xi expressed dissatisfaction and appealed, but failed.
It seems that there are too many parts of Grandpa Xi who are not paying attention. Let's talk about The senior management and faction of Janis, Grandpa Hi is the president, his sister Mary is the vice president, Mary's daughter Keiko is also the vice president, and the predecessors Makoto Kondo and Noriyuki Higashiyama are one of the directors. The pie valve probably appeared after SMAP was on fire. SMAP debuted in the idol ice age, debut CD also collided with Chuck and Asuka Divine Comedy, is The first debut CD of Janis did not rank first in the public trust list. So SMAP was definitely not an elite group from the start, and there is also the idea that SMAP was exiled (Kitagawa gave SMAP to a friend of Fujidai, who in turn gave it to his young apprentice). SMAP was trained from an unanticipated regiment to a national group, and the agent who took over their agent, Ms. Iijima, was sure to have a lot of credit and power, so it caused the appearance of the Janis faction valve. Grandpa Hi is neutral, Mary and her daughter Keiko are one faction, and Iijima is a faction. There is a saying that artists from the Keiko school and the Iijima school do not perform together.
(Iijima has not left the pie valve map when Janis, the Japanese network found, less than the previous return to Iijima management and then to the aunt management of Janis Wes, although said that the successor to Grandpa Hi will be Jingzi or one of Iijima, but Presumably now everyone knows, last year mary and Iijima tear up, directly put the next president is my daughter Jingzi, disobey to get out. Then there are rumors that Iijima wants to take SMAP, and there are rumors in SMAP that some people want to go and some people don't want to go. In short, now Iijima is no longer in J's house, SMAP has also been dissolved, and the pie valve should be gone now. The advantage is that the artists who were not expected before have the opportunity to appear now!
Traditional featured projects
Stage plays
In 1986, the second year of the Junior Team's debut, he began to perform "PLAY ZONE" every summer at the Aoyama Theater, which lasted until 2008, and performed a total of 957 times. Since 2009, the series "PLAY ZONE" has been handed over to the younger generations, and Kis-My-Ft2, タッキー & Wing have starred. When the Aoyama Theater closed in 2015, the series ended.
The current stage plays also include "Endless SHOCK" and "Ozawa Dance City". These stage plays will take a lot of Jr., giving them more opportunities to learn and perform in front of people.
New Year's Eve
J cross people are not uneven year by year, but there is no time at all. 1998 Across 1999, it was a charity concert hosted by J-FRIENDS, a limited group of TOKIO, V6 and Kinki Kids, and it was from this year that the New Year's Eve at the Tokyo Dome became the tradition of the J family. Last year was the most popular J span, the most interesting is the limited combination of this link!
Games
In 1990, the Janis Games were held for the first time. Until 2003, the annual Grand Games were held at the Tokyo Dome. But the Janis Games on October 25, 1998, were held at the Osaka Dome. At the Games, Janis's artists will be divided into two groups to compete. It was mentioned earlier that Janis's predecessor was a baseball team, and there were several people in the firm who were good at baseball, and sometimes held baseball conventions. During the competition, mini concerts will also be inserted. When the Niigata Chugoku Earthquake and the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred, baseball games were held as a charity event, which was also one of the specialties. In April of this year, Janis held a baseball conference that lasted for four years.
Coming-of-Age Ceremony
The Janis Coming-of-Age Ceremony was held between 1999 and 2006, and two days after the official coming-of-age day in Japan, artists who have reached the age of 20 are held under the umbrella of Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo.
Selection and training
Although Janis would not have published recruitment information on the official website, he would have a resume sent every month, a written test and an irregular interview. Some children receive an interview notice within a week of sending their resumes, and some wait a month. After passing, you can learn dance for free, mainly in concerts and performances to accompany the seniors.
In fact, the training mode of the J family is still very special, giving you a lot of exposure opportunities before debuting, giving everyone the opportunity to remember you, and then looking at the performance and popularity, the most important thing is the mood of Grandpa Xi, and then decide not to debut. (So I refused to eat Jr., too abusive.)
What are the exposure opportunities for Jr.? Not to be exhaustive:
magazine. Five miscellaneous: "duet", "Myojo", "POTATO", "Wink Up", "ポポロ", debut groups will also go on, but there will be graduation day. (Seems to be the tenth anniversary of his debut?) ）
Seniors' concerts and stage plays are accompanied by dances, and TV dramas of seniors are on.
Starred in a late-night drama. For example, "Brother Gacha"
Jr. Fan Group.
(This one is gone)
Less clubs.
SUMMARY of Johnnys World。 Concerts similar to stage plays (?) It's basically a group that has just debuted a few years ago with a group of Jr. performances. (I recommend that you watch av2310994 this video to understand Jr.'s competitiveness and efforts.) After reading it, I think that I can eat the current idol all by fate.
Some of the People in Jr. would form groups to get together. Debut this kind of thing is not easy to say, there are when Jr. when many years can not debut or popularity is not able to debut, there are like V6 Okada Junichi and Sexy Zone's Mary Satoshi such as not long into the club parachuted in, when they first debuted more difficult, will not be able to keep up with the dance moves or something. So although Jr. was bitter during his time, he could learn a lot of things and go a little smoother after his debut.
In the past, only a CD debut was considered to be a graduation from Jr., and you would have your own interface on the official website, but now there are actors such as Ikuda Doujin, Shunsuke Kazema, and Jun Hasegawa. A.B.C-Z is a DVD debut.
There are also cases where a trainee like Uchiha Takashi has already made his debut, but has fallen to a lower level than Jr. because he violated the rules.
Because There are many Jr. and few debut opportunities, the combination formed during the Jr. period may be dismantled and abused at every turn, so I think that the people who can eat Jr. are strong hearts. But it is also very happy to think that I can help a child from childhood to adulthood and see him improve little by little.
Janis official website
Jnet on the PC side and Jweb on the smartphone side, the PC side does not have to pay money.
On the official website you can see the group information reminding you that it is time to contribute ratings
The release message reminds you that it's time to rush the sales
I think this Janis calendar is quite practical, list the daily performance information, and help you arrange the schedule of a fan.
But it's tired to watch.
Jweb is paid for, 324 yen per month, and supports Alipay payment.
After handing over the money you can see the logs of the members
Message video
You can receive mail
Other things should be no different from Jnet, right?? (Very infrequently I don't make it.)
Fan Club
Johnny's Family Club, admission fee 1,000 yen, annual fee 4,000 yen.
When you join the club, you are equivalent to having an account, and you can get a great membership card.
A newsletter that is issued from time to time.
By e-mail, I will publish to you what I have not been able to publish in the newspaper. Sometimes you can also get souvenirs. Can draw concert tickets, lottery. Joining the club can see the living people, which is the point!!
However, to join this member, you need a Japanese address.

Shop photo
It is this kind of official sale of photos, 160 yen a piece, the original price is not very expensive, but if you enter the pit late, those photos that have been removed can only be second-hand, and the price also varies from person to person. Some old photos are really high prices.
Although Janis's meal people are rich and strong in combat, there are only 4 official shops in Japan, and it is normal to queue up to enter the store. Put the address:
Although some people will think that only four stores is very unscientific, why not open an online store? I don't know where I saw it, Iijima seems to want to keep up with the trend of the times to open an online trade, but Grandpa Hi insists on this way of selling, thinking that every time the local rice goes to Tokyo osaka to see a concert, he will go to shop to buy some photos, so that there will be a sense of pilgrimage.
I like the business law of Hi Grandpa.
Concert surroundings
Sold outside the concert venue, the fan and hand lamp are a must-have.
Many people say that Janis concerts are ugly around, I am not convinced! Although it is generally ugly, there are too many kinds, so every time there are one or two that will poke the heart that wants to pull out the wallet...
And the tour will not open several places, some of the surrounding areas will be limited, such as Arashi's tape, a place a color, circle money is not the meaning of the representative color of everyone in the first place.

For people with collecting habits, this is very unfriendly.
Then there's the singles album DVDbox. When a group is more than one, you can release 3 or 4 singles a year.
Artists at a glance
Record label
Only Johnny's Entertainment and J-STORM are Janis's companies, Johnny's Entertainment was founded by Janis when KinKi Kids debuted, J-STORM was founded when Arashi released the single "a Day in Our Life", and the president is Aunt Keiko.
supplement:
There are many details about Janis, such as portrait rights, costumes, etc., which we have explained to you in the previous push. (Interested partners can pay attention to the "those things in Japan" public account to view the previous review.) ）
Finally, a little bit of my own thoughts. Janis is a magical firm, although the people in this firm are called "idol", but completely subvert everyone's impression that idol can only sing and dance, everyone watching Japanese dramas and variety shows can not hide from Janis's artists. Not only are the styles of each regiment different, but individuals also have their own strengths, including Takuya Kimura, the acting school Okada Junichi-Ichinomiya and Ryo Nishikido, The Nakai Masahiro Murakami Nobugo who takes the hosting route, the anchor Sho Koyama Keiichiro Sakurai, and the Kato Seiryo who can write novels... Moreover, the J family likes to use the model of predecessors with juniors (such as the TV series starring the predecessors to let the juniors match), which is commonly known as "milk children", so it is easy to jump from one pit to another. Be cautious when entering the pit, like to buy official peripheral support, and spend money to consider your own economic situation.
However, as mentioned at the beginning, Janis's powerful marketing model can be called a cult organization, and almost all the fans who enter the pit will turn on the "buy, buy, buy" and "eat dirt" modes.
(So be cautious when entering the pit)
Janis still has a lot of unsolved mysteries, and I hope that all the artists in Janis will be able to write a book and tell the story of the past when they are old. Everyone in this road has to buy a copy of the meal.
In Japan, in addition to Janis, there are many other firms that have also cultivated very good actors, singers, and love beans.
For example:
Horipro
Stardust
Lespros
Oscar
Research tone
And AMUSE and so on.
