For several weeks now, Johnny’s “Smile Up! Project” has given a lot of focus on supporting the medical institution in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic. Arashi’s Aiba Masaki on behalf of the Johnnys Jimusho arrives at Japan Airlines Cargo Building at Narita Airport  to receive 10,000 protective suits procured from Beijing, China for donation to the medical staff. The total amount of relief supplies of Johnnys Jimusho has reached 330 million Yen which includes 83,000 PPEs and 730,000 masks, an amount 4x more than the originally planned 80 million Yen.

Japan Airlines has provided free transportation for the goods in support of the project. Aiba thanks JAL and says that in support of the medical institution, the supplies will be delivered to them. “Johnny’s Net” has also started accepting applications from medical institutions requesting for supplies.
