Will NTV’s “The! Tetsuwan! DASH!!” continue if Nagase Tomoya leaves TOKIO?

There is a lot of speculation of what will happen to the popular TOKIO NTV variety show “The! Tetsuwan! DASH!!” if Nagase Tomoya leaves TOKIO?

In an article of Tokyo Sports, one production company official said, “TOKIO members have a lot of work, so its difficult to manage their schedules.  But h the program’s audience rating is so high that the future of the program is always being discussed.  If Nagase leaves the group, it will put a burden on other members and the program will be in danger.  Other young Johnny’s talents are appearing on the show, so possibly adding them will help rejuvenate the show”.

Recently, Sixtones Morimoto Shintaro (22) visited DASH Island along with TOKIO leader Jojima Shigeru and Matsuoka Masahiro.  Morimoto was instructed by TOKIO on how to remove the internal organs of a fish and an eel which can be caught in the sea of the island.
