In "Bushi no Ichibun" Kimura plays a samurai. Almost everyone in Johnny's has worked at one point or another in NHK's Sunday night historical dramas, but "Bushi no Ichibun" has more to do with the sociology and economics of samurai life than with the genre's action prerogatives.

Everything related to Johnny's is based on the power of underestimation: See, he's more than just a sex god. Idols are recruited as children based on their looks, and everything they know is drilled into them.

In the Cyzo article, three of Johnny's former charges talk about how they left the agency and had trouble finding work because they had no real abilities, even though they had sung, danced, and acted while in the company. "When you are in Johnny's," one said, "you don't realize how poor your skills are."
