At that time, the Jennis Office responded immediately and admitted the fact that they drank together, but the office also stated that Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuka Kamenashi did not know both. The girl is underage (no mention of hotel opening).
Today, Jennis & Partners made an official response to this report and released a long article (Mr. Department also turned over the full text for everyone)
to report to you about our company’s artists Tomohisa Yamashita and Kamenashi Kazuya (KAT-TUN) .
First of all, due to some reports a few days ago, I worried and disturbed everyone who supported me and related people who supported us. In addition, in order to confirm the facts, it takes some time before the report. We sincerely Sorry.
Everyone is working hard to prevent the new coronavirus infection and self-restraint. I am very sorry to be reported such news.
saw this report and immediately confirmed the facts to Yamashita and Kamenashi.
When the two and the male friend came to the restaurant, because the underage person happened to be in the restaurant in this report, they confirmed with the restaurant in advance that they were adults, and also told the two of them to the person being introduced. Confirmed the age. Therefore, neither recognized that the person was a minor, nor was he sure whether he had drunk, but frankly admitted the fact that he ate with guests including that guest.
Although they have been careful to avoid eating with minors, we believe that one of the factors leading to this incident is that people present falsely report their age.
However, especially this time, since everyone is facing the new crown virus, they have independently started self-reliance activities. Even if the relevant departments do not require restaurants that provide drinks and beverages to shorten their business hours, our company believes that this is a problem for ourselves. We sincerely apologize for the lack of consciousness and responsibility of the position. Although it cannot be said that both parties did not pay attention to the age of the people eating and drinking in the restaurant, under the above-mentioned social conditions, they brought this situation and brought everyone worries and inconvenience. This is a fact. Therefore, according to the circumstances of this incident, after confirming the wishes of the two, Yamashita suspended performing arts activities for a certain period of time, issued a severe warning to Kamenashi, and asked them to conduct written reflection on their actions.
In addition, as the affiliated firm, it has seriously accepted the criticism of the incidents caused by Yamashita and Kamenashi, who have received support from many fans and related personnel for many years, and will play a role in the guidance and supervision of the affiliated artists in the future. And, not only for the artists, but also for the employees, we must also strive to provide appropriate guidance and management, and continue to work hard to gain everyone's trust.
Once again, this time I have only increased the worry and trouble for everyone, and I apologize again.

Co., Ltd. Genesis Office
focused on the punishment of
for suspension of performing arts activities for Yamashita;
issued a serious warning against Kamenashi Kazuya;
falsely reported age, two The person did not know whether the other party was a minor, nor did he pay attention to whether the other party had drunk alcohol;
was a punishment for coming out to play during the epidemic period (no mention of the hotel 8 hours)
saw some comments saying "Kamenashi and He was also punished and lay down with a gun.” According to the announcement, the punishment was because he came out to play during the epidemic period, so he was also punished, but the punishment for a serious warning is lighter than the suspension of performing arts activities for a period of time.
Originally, "Weekly Wenchun" had questioned the violation of the two persons "Adolescent Healthy Growth Regulations" , which requires that "no one shall be taken away, accompanied or detained in the middle of the night unless with the consent of their guardian or for other reasonable reasons. Teenagers."
and Japan also have strict restrictions on underage drinking. Drinking with underage people is also not allowed. (However, the firm responded that the other party had falsely reported their age, and the two did not know that they were minors)
The firm did not respond to Wenchun's report that Tomohisa Yamashita spent 8 hours with a 17-year-old female high school student in a hotel. (This is not illegal, and it is the same in China. It is not illegal to have a relationship with a minor who has reached the age of 14 on a voluntary basis. Some people compare the Yamaguchi Tatsuya incident. The essence is different. Yamaguchi Tatsuya It is also forcibly molesting minors. Regardless of whether the molesting is successful or not, the compulsion is a criminal act)
In the past, Jennis & Associates has hardly responded to the reports of celebrities’ love, dating, etc. (will not admit it) I won’t deny it, or the artist will directly announce the marriage. Of course, the office does not respond, thinking that it does not exist in the first place, and it is okay).
will respond to the problem of drinking because it involves going out during the epidemic period (this is what Japan’s Zhengfu and J’s family have been calling for control), and because it involves the prohibition of underage drinking, which is more important than everyone else. These two are the more important .
Suspected (just suspected) the girl who spent 8 hours with the Yamashita Tomohisa Hotel is reported to be a member of an underground idol girl group named Aiko. (Idol is regarded as a public figure, so you can disclose your name and photo)
She was also dug out of the ins account, and the photos she usually posted show her appearance at school.
There are also some who are dressed in water, but it is really hard to tell at a glance that they are underage. The number of followers of the girl’s ins skyrocketed from 50,000 to 100,000 that day, but her account was quickly closed.
Compared with idols, today Yamashita Tomohisa is more of an actor. His drama studio Yajun likes it very much, and he almost watched it. Ten years ago, I watched " Dragon Sakura " and "Marriage Proposal", etc. are my youth , I have recommended it countless times.
Tomohisa Yamashita’s hard work is also true. For example, he has the ambition to enter the world and has studied English for many years. Recently, the international TV series "Polar Assassination" he starred in has also been recommended, and he mentioned his efforts in English.
No matter what happens this time, I will still watch the works that Shan P will play in the future if they look good. Pay more attention to the actor's work. It is OK if you don't violate the law or affect social morality, and love and marriage are all OK.
