Ryo Nishikido announced today that he will withdraw from the Sekihachi Group and Janis Offices, which belong to it.
This is not a media revelation, but a statement by Ryo Nishikido himself and the official website of The Janis Firm's fan members, in which he wrote"
At the end of September, I will leave the Janis office that I have been caring for for 21 years
。 I'm going to rethink my style, what my entertainment really is, and then start over and work hard to be able to repay the favor. Thank you very much for all of you who have supported me, and, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, Mr. Johnny (Kitagawa)"
In fact, as early as March this year, the weekly Wenchun magazine broke the idea that Nishikido Liang had the intention to quit the group, when the magazine revealed that Nishikido Liang's acquaintance revealed to reporters, "He made it clear to the firm very early on that he meant to quit the group." In addition, negotiations are underway to withdraw from the Janis firm, and a conclusion is expected to be reached before the summer."
At that time, it was generally considered by fans to be just a small composition that came out of nowhere in the magazine, don't care too much, and then in the 15th anniversary commemorative concert published by the Guan Eight Group, Ryo Nishikido will not be absent, and the rumor of quitting the group seems to be a rumor that it is self-defeating.
But after all, the earliest to break the news is the "Weekly Wenchun", in the past six months, there are a number of magazines that Nishikido Liang may withdraw from the group, and today it has finally been verified.
At the age of 35, Ryo Nishikido joined the Janis studio at the age of 13 and released his record in 2004 as a member of both the idol groups NEWS and Sekihachi.
As a core member of Guan Hachi, he has a high popularity, and the funny style of Guan Hachi is also a well-known super popular group in Japan, with a variety show titled by the group, and also appeared in the "Japanese Spring Festival Gala" "Red and White Song Society".
Formed in 2002, Sekihachi (関ジャニ∞) was a group that mainly used Kansai as a base of activity, initially consisting of only 7 people, and later joined by Okura Tadaoyoshi.
Like many Janis groups, Sekihachi also underwent personnel changes, and in 2005, member Hiroki Uchiha was suspended from all artistic activities by the firm due to underage drinking problems, and the group was active as a 7-member group for a long time.
Last year, Shibuya announced his retirement from the Janis office, the combination was reduced to 6 people, and now the core member Ryo Nishikido is about to leave the team, and the eight-man group has become a five-member group.
Regarding Ryo Nishikido's withdrawal from the group, Japanese media broke the news that Ryo Nishikido originally announced it after the end of the tour on September 3, but Kitagawa's memorial service was held on September 4, so it is only announced now.
The reason for the withdrawal was that Shibuya had quit the group last year on the grounds of pursuing musical activities, and in his mind, the Sekihachi that Mr. Shibuya had left was no longer the Sekihachi in his heart. After many discussions among the members about future group activities, many members put forward positive proposals, only Nishikido said, "If one person is absent, the activities of Seki 8 should also be over, thus advocating dissolution." (The above is a Japanese media revelation.) ）
Guanhachi marched from Kansai to Tokyo, the members share weal and woe, good relations are also one of the charms of the group, for the choice of Nishikido Ryo, several other Sekihachi members issued a joint statement: "For 15 years, the staff who have been supporting us, as well as the most important fans, the feelings of gratitude can no longer be said. And Mr. Johnny, this is the conclusion we have discussed together, and I hope that you will support us in the Kingdom of Heaven. Thank you for creating Guan Eight. ”
In the past two years, there have been many personnel changes in the J family group, leaving the group or retiring from the company, and just yesterday held a memorial service for the late president Kitagawa, and some Japanese media pointed out that this will become a major opportunity for Janis to change.
Previously, along with Ryo Nishikido, it was revealed that the J family artists might quit the group and tomoya Nagase, a core member of TOKYO, but TOKIO is a special ambassador for next year's Tokyo Olympics, and even if he leaves, he will end after the Olympic Games next August.
An artist reporter revealed: "The farewell ceremony is the end of the first Janis Empire, the artists discovered by President Kitagawa have lost their spiritual bonds, personal activities will change, Tomoya Nagase and Ryo Nishikido are both very powerful as actors, and Nagase Tomoyuki is also a singer in the industry's personal activities are also outstanding, if in order to retain the form of the group for fans, if necessary, you may choose to suspend the group activities, in the future, the personal activities of the Janis Office will increase, Jr. will also debut one after another, depending on the ability of Hideaki Takizawa." ”
Buya Jun feels that Nishikido Ryo's acting skills in J's family are quite good, and his performances in "A Liter of Tears", "The Last Friend", "Sorry Youth", are all divine dramas in the heart of Buya Jun, as well as "Meteor Trip", "Daddy is an Idol", "Welcome to the Yin and Yang House of All Things Divination" and other works have a high reputation.
I hope that he can be an actor full-time in the future, but judging from the artists who quit Janis in the past, it is difficult to have the opportunity to appear in a series after quitting Janis.
Deciding to leave Janis, who has been staying for 21 years, is not a simple choice, and he will face an acting career that is no longer smooth in the future, and Ryo Nishikido should have the consciousness to do a good job in this regard.
When Ryo Nishikido participated in a film promotion campaign in Taiwan last year, a Taiwanese reporter who was doing things asked him, "If you go back to 13 years old, will you still want to join Janis?" ”
Ryo Nishikido unexpectedly replied: "No", further explaining: "In fact, I would like to take my girlfriend's hand to Disneyland, although it is okay to do this now, but it will hurt some people's hearts and make some people unhappy, so I will not do it." But he also stressed: "In fact, there is no regret, because I became an artist, I was able to come to Taiwan like this, cooperate with very good musicians, and do things that ordinary people can't do in life, in fact, there is more happiness." ”
Although the resources may be reduced, after leaving J's house, maybe he can do more of what he wants to do, and 21 years of idol career is not easy. After losing Ryo Nishikido, there was no need to worry about the group suspending or even disbanding, and the other five members of Sekihachi announced that they would start a tour of all 47 prefectures in Japan in November.
Smap dissolution (three members withdraw from the society), Taki and Ei dissolution (Takizawa Hideaki retired, Imai wing retired), Arashi (Ohno Tomosha retired) will suspend activities, Sekihachi Shibuya Akira and Ryo Nishikido retired from the club....
After President Jenny Kitagawa leaves, whether there will be any changes in Janis under the control of Mary Kitagawa's mother and daughter in the future, The Ministry of Yajun will continue to pay attention to bring you the latest news.
