Information

Johnny Kitagawa’s legendary male-only talent agency groomed young boys for stardom. However, Japan has kept Kitagawa’s dark secret for over 50 years – a long history of sexual abuse allegations made by boys in his agency. Even after the music mogul died in 2019, the Japanese media was mostly silent. Why?

Journalist Mobeen Azhar investigates the suffocating reality of being a J-pop idol, as well as Kitagawa’s media influence, and exposes the brutal consequences of turning a blind eye.
