http://entameblog.seesaa.net/article/143065221.html Comment: I can see that the other four in Top5 Johnnys are hosts of regular shows. So that makes Kimura Takuya's pay who doesn't has individual regular show and only has 1 drama 1 year, is really SUGOI!!!! Yappari, Kimura Takuya dakara naa... XD
And, Sakurai Sho sugokunai?? He's up there with all the senpai-s!! And he got that just from ZERO?? ZERO pays that much, really?? I wish they announced the TOP 10 too.
No wonder, there's a rumor that the president of Ogi agency doesn't let Nakama Yukie to have a boyfriend / gets married! She's the gold mine for the agency XD Probably the only big profit. I don't know any other popular talent from Nakama's agency XD However, I actually don't think Nakama is in the "young" category as the other four in this ranking XD
