ABOUT THIS COMMUNITY - When this community was created, in July of 2006, it was devoted to Yamashita Shoon, former talent of Johnny's. When he left this agency in February of 2010, this community continued being active for those who wanted to learn more about him and collect or share scans, videos, icons, fanfics, etc. of him. In June of 2010 Shoon went back to the entertainment business with his brother Leon as the Yamashita Brothers (Yamashita kyôdai) under another agency: Sky Corporation. Therefore this community is now devoted to the Yamashita Brothers.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. Wait... Shoon left Johnny's?
Yes. His activities in Johnny's ceased in February of 2010. He's now working for another agency called Sky Corporation.

He studied Law in Chuu Ou university, and graduated on March 25th of 2011.

4. What have Shoon and Leon been up to since they left Johnny's?
They opened a website and blog in 2010. After 2 blog entries with more than 3000 comments each-, they announced they were closing down both, supposedly to focus on their studies, though maybe there were pressures from Johnny's. They re-opened the blog, The Flying Sheep Cafe on June 6th of 2011 and have an official Facebook Page too. The website is currently still closed. They have a weekly TV show (Teenage Garden, Kime! Shitsuji) on the local channel TVK (TV Kanagawa), a monthly live videochat on NicoNico Douga, and have hold a couple of events in Sanrio Puroland, in which they sang, danced, played games with the audience... They have also appeared in a number of radio and TV shows, and recently they have formed a group with another Sky Corp. talent called Shintarô Mizuno, who is a composer and guitarist. They're currently recording a mini CD and will hold a live at the end of February.
