Introducing a new character in this taiga drama…
Kosugi Ryuzo, 68 years old, is the Jimusho’s consultant/adviser and also CEO of Johnnys Entertainment (one of johnnys record label).
These are quotes from his interview with Shuukan Bunshun.
“Of course there’s a condition for them to be allowed to return. They(SMAP) do not realize their nation wide stars and their ambiguous action caused troubles to the fans and many parties. They had to apologize. They also have to apologize to Kimura-kun cause they have made him sad for leaving him.” (http://shukan.bunshun.jp/articles/-/5794) (my eyes are rolling around so fast in their sockets I wish you can see it)
“Not only SMAP, but Iijima also asked Yamashita Tomohisa (Yamapi) to leave the agency with her. But Yamashita refused because he’s loyal to the Jimusho. He was raised by the Jimusho and he loves the Jimusho. He told Johnny-san ‘I’m not plotting any indepence.’ “ (http://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/1594758.html)
Even if Yamapi asked Iijima to take him along with SMAP, I think Iijima would refuse anyway. There’s no way Iijima herself asked him to go independent and follow her. I think what really happened was that the Jimusho suspected Yamapi was in this together with Iijima and SMAP, that he had to convince Johnny and the Jimusho, that he know nothing about the independence scheme.
Kosugi also said that Iijima was plotting to steal Julie’s position as the next president. *rolled eyes* He sounds so biased. Even if that’s true, he has no rights to talk about that in public. Where’s the objectivity? And he call himself a professional consultant?
Some people think the SMAP’s live apology resembles Matchy-Akina’s press conference long ago.
For those who don’t know. Matchy used to date Nakamori Akina, a very famous female idol. I don’t know much detail but they probably had a fight or broke up or something but Nakamori slashed her wrist at Matchy’s place in an attempt to kill herself. It was such a huge scandal during that time. Then suddenly, Johnny’s Jimusho arranged a press conference for Nakamori Akina. They used the gold screen as the background and people thought it was going to be a press conference for Nakamori and Matchy’s marriage announcement. They actually tricked Nakamori into thinking that it was her engagement press conference but then she was forced by the moderator to apologize to Matchy for the trouble she had caused him because of her attempted suicide.

From what I read, Matchy also attend the press conference together with Akina and he made this face as if everything was alright. And in the live apology scenario, the counterparts were like, Matchy = Takuya / Akina = 4SMAP.
From his position in the company, he does sound like someone who would hate Iijima and might worry that Iijima would take over his position as JE’s CEO =P
I said before that there’s a possibility someone behind Mary pulling the strings. Well, I think this is the guy. He might be the one who is putting ideas into Mary’s head.
What I find interesting as well as disappointing from this taiga drama is the fact of how ooldddd the main characters are! XD I mean these are the people with powers and authorities, they move around so many people, and yet they’re so old. The master is turning 90 years old this year, the right hand man and the true villain is 68, the successor is 49, the traitor is 58 and the five vanguard warriors are in their 40s. You know in normal taiga dramas, the five warriors should be in their 20s LOL. Sasuga Japan. The elderly society ^^;;
Let’s wait for the next episode of “Jyaniizu Sekigahara” taiga drama.
