Ex-KAT-TUN member Akanishi Jin (27), who recently married Kuroki Meisa (23) without informing his agency prior, announced March 31st that he has officially resigned from Johnny’s Jimusho.
Akanishi said in an issued statement, “My time with the agency has been an amazing experience and I have learned many important things, but I am now ready to proceed on my own. For me and my family’s sake, I will continue to do my best. Please continue to support me in my future activities.”
The Jimusho has also released a statement, “We are sad to see one of our precious talents leave, and we wish him the best in his future projects.”
It is not clear how this event will coincide with Akanishi’s punishment issued by the Jimusho only days earlier, in which Akanishi’s Japan Tour was cancelled and was ordered to pay the cost of the cancellation fees.
