Well - where did Johnny see him?? Was he already taking classes & performing in a local group or something? Anyone know?? :crazy:
XD From what he said on his interview in Zoom in Super, it went like this:
His two older sisters were really into Johnny's when both were in middle school, they kept watching videos of Johnny's at home, and sometimes he would join them, cuz he thought it was interesting XD That's when he decided to send an application letter to the company. Instead of receiving any response letter, he received a phone call by Johnny himself, and he told Jun to come because they were in the middle of rehearsal (the famous "
YOU kicchai na yo!" XDDD). He was like "what's with this man?" o.O XDDDD
During rehearsals, the most active person was Johnny, but Jun thought he was just some old man in the company because he didn't look like a boss would be, he didn't know who was Johnny XDDD But one month later, some other boy called Johnny and that old man answered, so he was like "Ah! So the old man is actually Johnny! And he's been here all this time" LMAO XDDDDD
Hope this helps XDDD This is what he said on that interview, I tried to translate it ^^ It may not be accurate because my Japanese is far from fluent, but I tried my best XDDD At least you can get the idea! ^^
