[Johnny's] Shuukan Bunshun - 01/29/2015 (3/3)

Last part of Mary Kitagawa's 10-page exclusive interview with Shuukan Bunshun is up! This part addresses the so-called neutral faction and also veers off topic to talk about Julie's possible relationships with Higashiyama and Matchy in the past. Nevertheless makes for a very interesting read ( Read more... )

thank you for sharing this!

Meh. I don't know what to make of the faction war... but the fact that Julie will take over the agency is very clear to be from this interview. It's only natural too that the mother will pass it on to her daughter, and even more so when you consider how she's been grooming her daughter since young. Whether Iijima is planning anything or not, JE will still end up in Julie's hands... though in what state I don't know...

Very lengthy but interested read. I still don't know what to make of Mary. Johnny is a despicable man no matter how you look at him, but I feel conflicted about Mary. She has the attitude of someone who wields the amount of power she does and although at times she comes across as harsh and blunt she seems to care about their artists in her own way. The question is, how do you know whether those are her genuine feelings or just lip service?

Anyway, thank you for translating this. I really appreciate the time you took to share this with us.

whoa.. the stories though...
deep..
but it's normal for the agency to be Julie's someday, she's her daughter after all
and it's family business from the start, but I'm really touched that JE is a big warm family <3

before reading this article, i would always think that this fraction thing is so stupid because the talents themselves are so nice and close to each other, why are the managements going into a fight? LOL

again, thank you so much for translating this LONG article <3
