Another Johnny’s scandal? Inabu Hikaru caught with former BERRYZ KOBO member Sudo Maasa

Another Johnny’s Jimusho veteran has been caught in another scandal as featured in a new article on Bunshun.

This time it’s former MADE member and Johnny’s Jimushi veteran Inabu Hikaru (29).

MADE which was formed in 2008 and once had seven members, suddenly dropped to three and in January 2020, the group was disbanded.

Back in January it was revealed that Akiyama Taiga would be leaving Johnny’s to pursue his goal to be come a choreographer, but Bunshun revealed that before Kanda Sayaka (singer and daughter of Kanda Masaki and ex-wife, singer Matsuda Seiko) divorced, she and Akiyama were having an affair which led to Akiyama leaving Johnny’s and MADE being disbanded.

Inaba has been the leader of MADE for 11 years and a member of Johnny’s Jimusho for 18 years and has been active on stage and according to Bunshun, sources say that Inaba has having hard times since the end of MADE and has been drinking a lot of alcohol and that he has been dating a woman who worked at an apparel shop in Shibuya and photos have been posted on SNS.

On September 30th, three days before a stage performance, Inama was with another young woman who turned out to be Sudo Maasa (28), a former idol who was part of the idol group Berryz Kobo.

The two were followed by paparazzi as the two went to a hotel together and left 2.5 hours later at 11:30 p.m.

A Bunshun reported tried to interview Inaba:

“Do you remember going to a hotel in Shibuya on September 30th with a woman?”, Inaba answered, “Maybe, yes.”.  He was then asked, “Is she the woman who entered the hotel with you?”, Inaba answered, “Umm…I’m not dating anyone”.  He was then asked, “Are there any women you are dating right now?”. Inaba replied, “I can’t say anything”.

The Bunshun reporter then said, “Because of Takizawa-san?”.  Inaba then said, “I will report to the office that I was interviewed by Bunshun after this, so I think we will have a discussion about it”.

Bunshun sent a letter of inquiry to both Inaba and Sudo’s office’s to confirm if both are in a relationship, both offices did not respond.

Johnny’s Jimusho Vice-President Takizawa Hideaki has been taking a hard stance on idols, including veterans who are breaking the rules of the agency, breaking the rules as idols and those who cause trouble/scandals.

How will Takizawa react to this news involving Inaba?
