We are pleased to inform you that we have confirmed that Johnny’s Jr. Takuya Nishimura (Lil Kansai), who belongs to our company, is infected with the new coronavirus.
Nishimura had a fever symptom from midnight on July 23, so we conducted a PCR test the next day. As a result, it was confirmed that it was positive at midnight on July 24, so we will treat and follow up for a certain period of time.
In response, all members of Lil Kansai, except Nishimura, also performed a PCR test and were all negative.
In order not to cause any inconvenience to everyone, we will try to report as soon as possible when a positive talent is confirmed. However, this time, in addition to confirming the results of the PCR test, Nishimura was adjusting the schedule of the stage where he is scheduled to appear, so it will take some time before today’s report.
Once once more, the performance of “Kansai Johnny’s Jr. Space Journey! ~ Our Trajectory ~” (Osaka Shochikuza) was confirmed to be positive by the people involved in the performance, including Nishimura, from July 30th to August 5th. Performance will be canceled. For details, please wait for a while as we will inform the winners once more. We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the performance, and thank you for your understanding. We will inform you regarding the performances following August 6th as soon as they are decided.
This time, I tried to carry out the PCR test promptly, but I have the impression that many laboratories took more time to confirm the results than before, probably because of the recent spread of infection. Even in our environment, we have a system in place to carry out PCR tests at all times in Tokyo, but it is not easy to set up a similar system in Osaka, and we can quickly search for an institution that can obtain test results as soon as possible. It is undeniable that the environment is easily affected by the infection situation in the world and the situation of medical institutions and inspection institutions. Therefore, we would appreciate it if you might take a certain amount of time to report positive Kansai Johnny’s Jr. people in the future.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you for your understanding.
