As of the 12th, it was revealed that Johnny’s office had removed a large portrait of Johnny that had been displayed at the entrance of the company’s headquarters (Minato Ward, Tokyo) in response to the sexual assault scandal caused by the late Johnny’s former president Kitagawa Johnny.

Created by Ohno Satoshi (42) of Arashi for his 2020 solo exhibition. It was an ambitious work that colorfully depicted Johnny on a huge canvas measuring 2.2 meters in height and 1.6 meters in width. After the exhibition, it was displayed in the lobby on the first floor of the head office, welcoming visitors and entertainers as the “face of the office.” However, it was withdrawn after reports of sexual assault were reported.
