According to numerous media reports, Johnny’s Jimusho will be changing its name.

Higashiyama Noriyuki (56), the new president, decided to change the company name and will hold a press conference on October 2nd.

It was learned on the 20th that final arrangements are being made to announce the new company name. In his second public appearance since the press conference on the 7th, the new president will also discuss the handling of the shares held by former president Fujishima Julie Keiko (57), who owns 100% of the company.

The decision to make the change was made after considering trends in public opinion and the feelings of victims.

Talks are underway to decide on the new company name by the time the new company structure is announced on the 2nd of next month. All eyes are on what will happen to the unit bearing the name “Johnny’s” and its affiliated companies.

In addition, Higashiyama and Fujishima will take on the role of dealing with compensation for victims at their current agency, and plan to establish a new company to which talent and employees will belong.

It is believed that a person familiar with the entertainment industry will be brought in from outside the company to become the president of the new company that will manage talent.
