Hmm interesting it's not Julie. Tackey always treats the juniors well, but I don't really care who it'll be as long be, I'm just hoping this means Johnny will step down soon.

[Byakugan]

He's an executive?

[SsunShine]

He's like the better choice.

He's an executive?

no he has been just an idol/actor up till now thats why its shocking but they wouldn't choose him if they didn't think he would be up for the task i guess.

[Gene_e]

I support this.

[The 9th Serpent]

He is one heck of a lucky guy!

 

From a normal guy to the head of Johnny's jimusho!!!!

I'm a bit shocked, but i think he could do a good job. He seems to care about his juniors and such.

yasss Takki!!!

[CrayCray]

That's really good for Takizawa! Wonder if he'll take it though.

Holy shit! I didn't expect this at all. No doubt I support this as long as he knows how to manage groups and artists under JE. I was a fan of him and now he's gonna be JE's successor. So surreal and happy for him.

[male:ko]

OMG!! Really shocking but is one of my favs and I'm glad for him. I wish him the best of luck and I hope he does his job well.

[DERFUL]

i know he is senior in JE but damn..

I was thinking that he looks better than most of their idols which is crazy as a businessman but it makes more sense now I know he's actually a former idol and now an actor.

Tackey is still an idol? I mean he just recently released a single with V6 Miyake Ken.

He's been acting since he was a junior too.

as long as johnny steps down, i'm good

He'll most likely have to retire if he's going to run J&A though

That will probably happen. I'm just commenting in the "former idol and now an actor" part.

[Midnight~Circus]

I definitely wasn't expecting him to be nominated.

 

That being said I do hope he becomes the successor. He has the right disposition for the role. 

[partaymaker]

I've always wanted it to be Takky, so I hope it does go to him.
