Two more sexual predators suspected at Johnny Kitagawa talent agency
01.04.2024 - 07:19 / nme.com
Predator: The Secret Scandal of J-Pop uncovered an alleged history of sexual abuse by Johnny Kitagawa, arguably the most influential figure in Japan’s entertainment industry. Kitagawa’s agency held a near-monopoly on Japanese boy bands for decades, and as set out in the documentary, he faced allegations of sexual misconduct while he was alive. While some were proven in a civil court, he never faced charges.
He continued recruiting and training teenage boys until his death in 2019, aged 87.

The previous boss of the agency, Julie Keiko Fujishima — Kitagawa’s niece —

‘YOLO’ Review: A Megahit Chinese Boxing Movie That Needs More Punch
Guy Lodge Film Critic Macho sports-movie tropes meet with bright chick-flick framing to curious effect in “YOLO,” either an ostensible boxing drama that doesn’t pick up the gloves until the third act, or a misfit romcom that takes a late and unusual turn toward transformational self-help territory. Chinese audiences have been delighted by either formulation, as Jia Ling‘s second feature as director-star — following 2021’s popular time-travel comedy “Hi, Mom” — has racked up the year’s second-highest global gross so far, mostly on the strength of its domestic receipts.
