The JackJack LiveJournal Community

Yes! Y'all read right! 

Shinoda appears in Kamen Rider Kiva eps 5-6!!

He's actually a villian (funny enough). And Ironically, one of the guys was in the movie "Pray" with Shinoda

To torrent ep 5 (Ep 6 hasnt been subbed yet) please go to www.claws.us

I'll add soem screencaps once i can take them

It's been a long time JackJack fans!

It looks like hopefully tonight i will be posting JackJack scans!

We're havign some scanner trouble so it's taking me a while.

But as a side note...

I still have no word on how Kenji's doing. Anyone else heard anything?

Poor guy might still be laying low

Shinoda's blog is up again... Phew.

Shinoda has joined sunmusic. The main Sunmusic page is here.

(Irrelevantly, it sounds familiar, as if Kiriyama Renn (Marui Bunta from Tenimyu Rikkai) was from it once. I don't know why. I think he was in Sun Music Academy...)

Masakazu and Ryousuke have gotten new blogs, i've syndicated them here

ryousukekato
nemoto_masakazu

NO word from Shinoda yet, but the poor boy is so insanely busy, i'm sure we'll hear something soon.

I'll do a more worthy update when i'm back into town and can get to my comp with my translation software and such.

Unfortunately, yes, the news about Kenji is true.

Thier blog was recently updated giving the whole story. All of the boys as well as the agency are ashamed to be addociated with such a mess.

For those who dont know, Kenji involved himself in an affair with an ex-wife of a yokuzoku guy(dunno if i spelled that right). It's speculated that it was just to cause publicity, however that is not an excuse for his behavior.

I ask you all to please not think less of Kenji as an actor for this. Think of him what you will as a person, but he is still an accomplished actor.

But, in everyone's shame and embarassment JackJack will be disbanded at the end of this month. Soon, i know.

All of the boys will also leave thier current agency.

If my translation is correct, the blog is pretty much saying that we all make stupid mistakes. Please forgive Kenji and do not hate him for this. And let's please understand that these boys are only human.

Kazunori Sugimoto is thier Representative who posted the blog. He gives a very formal, and very sincere apology on Kenji's behalf.

He also assures us that once he knows the future of Shinoda, Ryousuke, and Masakazu that he will inform us.

I will keep everyone updated on this as it develops

------

I, personally, am still a little shocked.

and as a Mod Note, this community will not be closed. We will still continue to follow all four of the boys in this community.

Also I too will say to everyone, i'm sorry that this has happened. And everyone please forgive Kenji.

Following up to grumpychild's entry -

Because of the press coverage, and production company's lack of dealing with the press, JackJack members have decided to disband (;_;).
Aoki will be leaving any activities for a while, and Shinoda, Katou, and Nemoto will be trasnferring to another production company.

grumpychild explained about the scandal for us.
I don't know exactly how it happened, but Aoki apparently had to come out with the whole truth and answer to an interview of a weekly magazine. Of course once the press found out they were all over him and the other JackJack members. What's worse, some of the articles have called it Aoki's "trying to sell his name". Members had been forced to refrain from a few events recently. And today, the official site's blog revealved news that the group will be disbanding.

Yes he did a bad thing, but it really didn't really didn't have to come to this. Hopefully we'll see him back soon.
The official site says we'll hear about where the other members will be transferring later on.

Earlier this week, it was reported that after the Halloween Live of (I think) Jackjack, Aoki Kenji (Akazawa) was questioned by the media regarding his relationship with a model, who had been married to an ex-sumo wrestler-turned-sportscaster (wiki jp). (The couple have since divorced and much gossip can be found about their relationship here. For the interested, she has also been involved with others--most famously, the star of "Umizaru", a very interesting movie which also featured Kengo (2nd Tezuka/1st gen/Burimyu Aizen) and Saitou Takumi (Hyotei's Oshitari). So says Singapore's early morning Chinese-language gossip paper, "My Paper". For those interested in the other side of the story, her husband is reportedly a womaniser as well.)

This has more information regarding the relationship with Aoki Kenji (in Japanese). ETA: The page has disappeared, but basically,...

( hereCollapse )

Aoki Kenji made his statement on his blog following the media reports. Then it appeared that steps would be taken for the movie "Light", which some of them appear in. Now it would appear that there is more, but I can't understand it. The boys were to have had a Live in November--I do believe Wiki said as much. As I cannot read Japanese, I shall not speculate, but the latest entry mentions the other members.

In case anyone has not seen it already both Masakazu and Shinoda will be voicing in the anime "Shounen Onmyoji"

Shinoda will be playing "神楽如風"

Masakazu will be playing "神楽波全"

JACKJACK has decided to start up thier fanclub! *confetti!*

So now they're leaving it up to the FANS to decide the name! How

Here are the options:

『JACK 5』
Reason? 4 members of JackJack + Fan (How cute is that?)

【C・J・5】（シージェイファイブ）
Reason? C for Club, J for JackJack, and 5 for Members + Fan

《JACK × CREWS》ジャッククルーズ
Reason? This one's kinda obvious lol

【JACK∞CIRCLE】（ジャック∞サークル）
Reason? The symbol in the middle is an infinity circle. Meaning JackJack and their friends will infininately be friends (Hope i translated that right lol)

『 I　（ハートのロゴ）　JACK』（I LOVE JACK）
Reason? The katakana in the middle says "Heart Logo" as in i will be a Heart symbol to represent the work Love. Kinda sounds like the I <3 NY shirts lol, but i acctually think this one is cute.
