King of Arama has left Johnny's
Akanishi Jin's (29) contract with Johnny's Jimusho has expired at the end of February, and both parties agreed to not renew it.
The Jimusho has currently given out no further details. However, according to an official, Jin's intentions had conflicted with the Jimusho's. Rather than the mainstream idol music from his KAT-TUN period, he has strong preference in the "All-English" hiphop genre and intends to go overseas.
The DVD of his winter live will still be released according to schedule on April 2, 2014.
"Akanishi will still pursue a career in showbiz even after leaving the agency. A different source tells Sponichi that there were no new scandals or any sort of trouble that has led to this decision." (majide2ch)
