As for Hey!Say!JUMP, they said tonight that they will have a Dome concert in November, and Nino was remarking on how it took Arashi this long to be allowed to have a dome. And yet these kids are getting it right out of the gate...?
Though, I'm not as up on how popular the juniors are, these kids (save for one random kid who came out of nowhere) are actually really popular amongst their age bracket. And there are ten of them. So I think they could probably fill that Dome. ;P Or at least, that's what Johnny's sure as hell is hoping for. *chuckle* I think it should be interesting to watch how this new group matures. They broke up two junior units and ended two variety bangumi to make the group, so there are "bitter" fans as well.
I heard he's the only junior in the history of SMAPxSMAP to be a guest on the show, you'd think that kind of popularity would count for something even if it's really too late for him. ;P
I would bet that he is. It's just he hasn't performed music!wise since Christmas 2005. And he hasn't been a regular on the junior!bangumi since like three years ago. So I dunno. He was at his highest as an idol with the junior unit 4Tops (including YamaPi), right before YamaPi was stolen away to be the leader of NewS and debut in 2003.
