In the entertainment world, much attention is focused on what Kimura will do next year and beyond. Since his debut as SMAP in 1991, Kimura has produced numerous hits for the company over the past 30 years. Currently, this information is still unconfirmed, but it is conceivable that Mr. Kimura could start his own label or form an alliance with another record company in the future. Mr. Kimura is exploring all possibilities,” said a source close to the record company. Since a big name like Mr. Kimura is going to make a move, naturally the music industry is buzzing with rumors. Victor is a long-established major music company that also handled the first Johnny’s. They have a long history of producing music for the Japanese music industry. The company has released countless hits by SMAP, including “Yozora Nomukou” (1998) and “Raion Heart” (2000). The company had fully backed Kimura after he made his solo debut in 2000, so Kimura’s unexpected move came as a surprise to many. Kimura says that Eikichi Yazawa, 76, is one of the artists he admires most.

After that, he went to the U.S. by himself to perform with local musicians and established his own music publishing company, following in the footsteps of the Beatles, and he did many other things that no one had ever done before. It was only in the last few years that Kimura became keenly aware of Yazawa’s presence. It was at a dinner party that Kimura became aware of Yazawa’s presence. Kimura says, “We happened to be sitting together, and when Kimura saw Yazawa’s dandyish behavior, he was shocked and said, ‘Wow, he’s so cool! He was shocked by Yazawa’s dandyish behavior. Kimura, who was not to be outdone, danced to the live band’s performance, and Yazawa said, “I thought you were the best, but you are still the best! I thought it was the best, but it’s still the best! After that, Mr. Yazawa made a guest appearance in the drama series “BG – Personal Guardians” (TV Asahi) in which he starred that aired in 2018, and Mr. Yazawa invited Mr. Kimura to his concerts, gradually deepening their friendship” (aforementioned entertainment reporter) Kimura was greatly inspired by the life of the great star, and he was able to enjoy Yazawa’s Kimura was so inspired by the life of the great star that he carried a bill with Yazawa’s portrait on it in his wallet, and even told people around him that he wanted to do the same thing as Yazawa.
