There was also an eyewitness report that at about 10:30pm a limousine stopped along Shibuya’s 246, with a suit-wearing Nakayama standing beside it. Since the participating members were wearing suits, President Johnny’s birthday party must have been a big event held by the Johnny’s agency. Also, it was revealed by Ninomiya Kazunari that there was an episode in which President Johnny called him saying “Why didn’t you call me? It’s my birthday.” To President Johnny, who gets lonely easily, this year’s birthday was indeed a happy night.
