First in history, all Johnnys gather together

Members include Matchy, Shounentachi, Uchiumi Kouji, Satou Atsuhiro, Okamoto Kenichi, SMAP, TOKIO, V6 (but without Inocchi due to work, probably his play), Kinki Kids, Arashi, Tackey & Tsubasa, NEWS, Kanjani8, KAT-TUN, Hey! Say! JUMP, Kis-My-Ft2, Nakayama Yuuma, Sato Mizuki, Ikuta Toma, Uchi Hiroki, Kazama Shunsuke, Hasegawa Jun, MA, ABC-Z, BIShadow, and other Juniors. (Meaning for those members who aren't in a group, they counted as one person one group, hence the 27 groups above. MA members were listed separately.)

How crazy is this!?

They will be doing an event at Yoyogi on April 1st-3rd. Each day will be from 10am to 6pm (Sanspo says until 5pm while Houchi says reception is until 5pm), where constantly there will be at least 10-15 Johnnys on stage to call out for donations and such. Johnny's Juniors will be responsible for holding the donation boxes. I'm not sure if they'll perform or all talk since the article doesn't specify... Whoever is on stage will be based on each person's work schedule and see when they can come and stuff.

Anyways, they plan to hold an event each month afterwards to continue gathering donations.

The project is called Marching J where J stands for both Japan and Johnnys and contains the feelings of marching forward to the future/tomorrow together.

From Sanspo

Johnny's Juniors main charity baseball tournament will be held on May 29 in Tokyo Dome.

It's currently being picked up on Mezamashi right now.

While I'm at it, from TV magazine, 4/8 Shokura details. HSJ's Arigatou, NYC's Yuuki 100%, Ebi's A to Z + Dream~Itsutsu no Negai~, Shintarou Sekai ga Hitotsu ni Naru Made, KisuMai's Inori and such. There will be footage of KisuMai's concert (Hair and My Love performances etc) and debut announcement.

Out of all the Wednesdays in May, 5/11 taken by Kanjani8, 5/18 by KAT-TUN, so technically speaking 5/4 and 5/25 left for KisuMai, but 5/25 is taken by AKB48. ...just push it back to June then? I don't think we'd mind that much.

Edit: According to Hochi's article, there are no plans for performances, and Johnnys will be doing talks while wearing their own private clothes.

Forgot to mention. The event per month part of the project at the moment will last until next March. At least that's the plan at the moment and the project will still continue after that.
