Johnny's Jimusho president admits considering punishment for Akanishi Jin

In response to Akanishi Jin's sudden marriage to Kuroki Meisa, the president of Johnny's Jimusho, Johnny Kitagawa admitted to reporters on 10 Feb that he is indeed considering punishing Akanishi in one way or another for not informing the company of his plans before the media reports came out. Kitagawa said that he didn't hear anything at all before the news broke and only got a call from Akanishi after that. He revealed that he doesn't keep in touch with Akanishi usually so he has no idea what the latter is up to with regard to his private life.

Kitagawa had supported Akanishi's decisions when he said he wanted to go for further studies in Los Angeles or leave KAT-TUN to have solo performances in the US. However, the fact that he wasn't informed beforehand about the marriage meant a lot of inconveniences for the agency when settling issues arising with work commitments due to this matter. He also commented that Akanishi should have considered the circumstances which Kuroki was in as well (given that she's also an artiste) and be more responsible about how he handled the matter. As the person-in-charge of the agency, Kitagawa felt that he should start thinking of what to do although he did not give any indication of how he wants to punish Akanishi.
