Jr

The preparation stage where most (except V6's Okada) Johnnys talents train until they are put into groups (sadly, sometimes a talent's career ends at this stage). Presently there are more than 100 Johnnys Jr.s ranging from age 8 to early 20's. Jr.s can be seen dancing behind other groups such as V6 and KinKi Kids. Now days, they even have their own shows like "Gakibara Teikoku" and "Music-Enta". Jr.s tend to come and go frequently but Takizawa Hideaki, Imai Tsubabsa, Yamashita Tomohisa, and Kansai Jr.s such as Shibutani Subaru, Yokoyama Yu, and Nishkido Ryo appear to be a little more set in stone.
