"Don't ask me about Nishikido."
On December 29, a rehearsal for the Red and White Song Festival was held. In the interview, Nobugo Murakami (37), who is 8, made such a joke as soon as he opened his mouth.
Janis's loss of Johnny Kitagawa as a leader in 2019 also received the attention of the Fair Trade Commission. This year, the status of Janis Studio, the absolute overlord of the art world, has changed dramatically. In the midst of this trend, Ryo Nishikido (35), a member of the original Seki-8 who retired from the Janis Office on September 30, opened his official website on October 1, the day after the office, and began a personal event, which is also a "big event" symbolizing its transformation.
"On September 30, fans labeled Nishikito Ryo '#感谢锦户亮' on SNS to express their gratitude.
Keywords about Nishikido even filled Twitter's fashion trends for a while.
On October 1, the website opened an official website and SNS account, with more than 30,000 members. It was a planned start. (Performing Arts Professionals)
It can be said that the industry's imperial law degree "The assembly of the Janis retirement group" was also announced with dignity. On December 6, Nishikido announced at SNS the establishment of the project "N/A" with former KAT-TUN member Hitoshi Akanishi (35 years old).
After Akanishi Jun and Nishikito retired from the Janis Office, they did not have the opportunity to appear in television and advertising, and the opportunity to appear on television in front of fans was sharply reduced. There are also many impressions that the development is not smooth. However, as long as there are core die-hard fans, they are actually smooth sailing. In other words, the number of members relying on fan clubs has exceeded 50,000. The annual membership fee is 5,000 yen, and this alone has annual sales of 250 million yen.
The first album after independence, NOMAD, also sold 76,000 copies in its first week. It also finished number 1 on the Oricon Album Week chart. The first concert with Jun Akashi in Hawaii is scheduled for May 24, 2020" (op. cit.)
There are also many "against Nishikito" エイター (Seki 8 fan group name) in the interview.
The remaining members of The Level 8 have been driven to the end of their ropes... Originally thought so, in fact, the current Guan 8 is a state of "after experiencing a storm, the earth will be more solid". Seki 8, which started as an 8-member group, became a 5-member group due to Uchiha Takashi (33) in 2006, Shibuya (38) in 2018, and the withdrawal of Nishikido this time. Finally, you can see their burning conditions. (原文:切羽詰まった状況にも見える。 ） “
I thought that Nishikito's withdrawal would be tricky for Seki-8, but the "UPDATE" tour of 47 Prefectures, which began in November, was well received and the number of FC members increased significantly. It seems to have exceeded 700,000 people. Supporting idols when they are in difficult times is the real fan. There are also many 'opponents of Nishikido' fans who were originally known as "エイター".

Twitter followers decreased by more than 2,000 due to the "gaffe incident"
In this case, a "gaffe incident" occurred during Nishikito's personal concert. "At the MC of Ryo Nishikido's solo concert held on November 19, 2019, Nishikido seemed to say 'I don't know what to call fans'. The man who heard this said, "He's going to fool us." "To be honest, I was very devastated, I saw the wrong person", "I was able to have Ryo Nishikido, who has a personal activity now, because there is a group of people who are named after the fans you called", and so on.
Ryo Nishikido left the office and began to grow a beard
Protests at SNS have continued. After the speech, Twitter's followers decreased by more than 2,000. (TV related personnel)
Although he was a Nishikido who praised the two factions of the anti-faction, his face began to soften after the office retreated. "When Janis was in the country, he was inaccessible, and his whole body exuded a cold atmosphere. Now anyway, it seems to have become cheerful and approachable.
Music-related industry people drink in bars a lot, but even guests who don't know each other at nearby tables will smile and say "thank you" to the people next to them. Everyone around me said, "It's getting sleek," and the person who spoke to Nishikido for the first time said, "It was so gentle!?" It is said that [people who know Kinto] also drink with people related to Shibuya who quit Seki 8 first.
Although not directly related to Shibuya, he also drank at a bar with band members related to Shibuya's solo album "Two Years Old", released in October. Two people who do separate band-like activities with each other don't they also share information? However, I haven't seen Shibuya and Nishikido meet directly. (ibid.)
Since entering the Janis Affairs Institute in 1997 at the age of 12, Nishikido has been very busy at the end of the year and the beginning of the year. This year is the first time since leaving the firm that I have taken a break from home for the Chinese New Year. In Chinese New Year's Eve, the former Guan 8 friends will perform "Courage to Go Forward!" at the Red and White Song Conference. OSAKA song skewers".
On December 19, Nishikido, who finished his LIVE at Shibuya Guild Hall, went back to eat ramen with his friends and entered a bar with a single room.
At about 3 p.m., I interviewed Nishikito who was coming home from the bar directly.
--Mr. Nishikido, is a weekly magazine Bunkharu. Will you see red and white this year?
“……”
HOW WAS THE END OF THE YEAR?
In response to the reporter's question, Nishikido did not answer anything and walked into his home. At the end of this year, after 22 years, what will Nishikito think?
And former teammate Seki johnny Murakami Shingo, who ushered in the first red and white song party of 5 people, said with a bitter smile, "I don't know about Nishikido."

In September this year, Ryo Nishikido (34) withdrew, marking the first time since Seki 8 became a five-member system. Nobugo Murakami (37), who was interviewed, said as soon as he spoke, "Don't ask about Nishikido (laughs)," without hesitation.
To the younger "man", he also said, "It will bring you down." Although it seems gentle now, they still don't know the terrible thing about the Red and White Song Society. ”
In addition, Murakami, who had long aimed for the throne of the Red and White Song Association and publicly stated this goal, played: "This year also lost!" Paragraph of . Although "bragging" said that "it seems to be nominated", the NHK related people standing on the sidelines immediately responded that they had not heard of it, and the scene fell into a whirlpool of hilarity.
Still, he was not discouraged, announcing that he would participate in the important campaign presided over by Red and White a year later, "Who is going to do the thing that will send away Arashi (who will end the event next year!?" If Janis doesn't send it, who's going to send Arashi?!"
Murakami laughed loudly.
