On March 9th, Kanjani8’s Nishikido Ryo was seen at a bar in Tokyo attending a group date with KAT-TUN’s Tanaki Koki with pretty 20-something girls. On the 27th of the same month, he was seen at the same bar, in the same set of seats, hosting another group date attended by Arashi’s Matsumoto Jun.
“Koki was wearing casual clothes, and Nishikido was wearing a hat. Both of them didn’t try to disguise themselves and went upstairs to the second floor. Soon after, 4 girls followed them upstairs.”
The two Johnny’s appeared late at night on Friday, March 9th. Bar “B” is a hidden store that famous people often frequent. The bar closes at 2, and it doesn’t get a lot of traffic so people use it as a place to host secret group dates.
There was also another male present, so there were 3 males vs. 4 females at the group date. They ordered many different dishes, from pizza to meat dishes. They were afraid of being found out and so they were pretty quiet at first. The party got rowdier as they drank alcohol, and they were seen having a good time.
A girl asked, “Is there someone in Johnny’s who is bad with women?” To which Nishikido replied with, “Nope. None at all.” They didn’t play any of the regular group date games that comedians talk about on TV. They were merely drinking and talking.
When the store closed, the 7 of them exited and didn’t go on to a second round. Instead, they all took taxis and went their separate ways.
An entertainment insider said, “They can’t really go out drinking as freely anymore because it’ll end up on Twitter. And Johnny’s love going on group dates.”
A tv insider said, “Matchy has confessed to going on group dates at one of his dinner dates. He even said that there weren’t enough people so he called up Higashiyama Noriyuki, TOKIO’s Matsuoka, and KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi.”
A female university student confessed that her friend has gone on group dates with members of Kis-my-ft2 and ABC-Z.
In the same month on the 27th, another Johnny’s group date was held at the same bar by Nishikido. This time, Koki was not present.
“Nishikido was with another guy and there were 3 girls with them. They had all curled hair and looked like models. Everybody was in a good mood so they were pretty loud when they toasted. They called Nishikido, Ryo-kun. And he said that they’re going to drink a lot that night.” Said a male customer at the bar.
After the five of them had some beer in them, they ordered tequila shots.
“Nishikido had about 5-6 shots and started complaining that he couldn’t take it anymore. He got up to go to the bathroom but the was already stumbling by that point. The girls then decided to take care of him and guided him to the bathroom.”
According to a female customer of the bar who was also there that night. “This time, it seemed the party was even more rowdy than last time. Around 1AM, Matsumoto Jun came. He apologized for being late and saw that they were already pretty drunk at that point. He asked, ‘You guys are already this wasted?’”
A TV insider said that Matsumoto and Nishikido are great friends and Matsumoto won’t even get mad when Nishikido picks on him. And Nishikido feels that Matsumoto is a big-brother figure he can count on.
Nishikido was in a great mood that night and he talked about owning a small boat. His friend then suggested that they take out the boat next time to host a drinking party. The girls were in awe that they could do such a thing.
It seemed that Matsumoto, who joined mid-party, was not very talkative that night. “I don’t think Matsumoto spoke much, and the girls complained that he was in a dark mood. They called him MatsuJun on their first meeting and it seemed like Matsumoto was a little turned off by being called that on their first meeting. Nishikido then asked one of the girls if she had plans after the party.”
It got to the point where the store was about to close and the other guy also asked another girl if she had plans afterwards. Everyone then left in taxis. It seemed like Jun was the only one who went home alone that night.
