TOKIO fans shocked and happy to see Yamaguchi Tatsuya shown on “The! Tetsuwan! DASH!!”

Many TOKIO fans and viewers of “The! Tetsuwan! DASH!!”  were touched by an image that was shown at the end of the show.

Shigeru Joshima visited their good friend, Japanese agriculturist Sanpei Akio and referred to him as the sixth member of TOKIO.

Joshima Shigeru was seen visiting the grave of Sanpei Akio and speaking to him about him getting married.

The show has pretty much eliminated any video, image or mention of former member Yamaguchi Tatsuya, that’s why it was a surprise for viewers to see Yamaguchi Tatsuya shown on the photo and Joshima Shigeru saying “the sixth member of TOKIO”.


As many fans continue to hope that TOKIO allows Yamaguchi Tatsuya to return (Yamaguchi Tatsuya resigned from TOKIO and Johnny’s Jr. after his scandal) and hoping the band doesn’t disband, amid many rumors that the band may breakup.
