日本偶像产业鼻祖杰尼斯事务所招牌被拆，61年商号落幕

On October 16, Japanese media reported that today is the last day that Jenis Office has this name, and the logo on the exterior wall of the Japanese Jenis Office building has been removed.

新浪娱乐讯 10月16日，日媒报道今天是杰尼斯事务所拥有这个名号的最后一天，日本杰尼斯事务所大楼外墙的logo已被拆除。

It is reported that Johnny's Shop, which operates around the official perimeter, will also close its doors after closing today. Jenis has lasted for 61 years since its establishment in 1962, after which the behemoth that dominated Japan Entertainment for 61 years will no longer exist, and some of the artists under the company will also move to the new company to carry out activities.

据悉，经营官方周边的Johnny's Shop也将在本日闭店后结束营业。 杰尼斯自1962年设立以来已持续了61年，之后这个制霸了日娱61年的庞然大物将不复存在，事务所将化身为“SMILE-UP.”旗下的一些艺人也将移籍到新事务所开展活动。

According to NTV NEWS, Johnny H. Kitagawa, the late founder of Jenis, was accused of sexually assaulting his artists and trainees by the Japanese "Wenchun Weekly" News weekly as early as 1999, but at that time, due to Jenis' monopoly position in the entertainment industry, no media was willing to report the matter. Even "Wenchun Weekly" was sued by Jenis in the name of slander for compensation, and finally "Wenchun Weekly" lost the case.

据NTV NEWS报道，此前已故的杰尼斯创始人喜多川（Johnny H. Kitagawa）早在1999年就被日本《文春周刊》新闻周刊指控性侵旗下艺人及练习生，但在当时介于杰尼斯对娱乐产业的垄断地位，没有媒体愿意报道此事，甚至《文春周刊》被杰尼斯以污蔑诽谤名义告上法庭要求赔偿，最终《文春周刊》败诉。

It was not until March this year that the BBC documentary "Predators: The Secret Scandal of Japanese Pop Music" came online, exposing Kitagawa's repeated sexual abuse of underage trainees and artists in more than 40 years from the 1980s to 2010. Janice soon became the center of public opinion. Regarding the allegations, Kitagawa's niece, the former president of Janis, Keiko Fujijima, admitted to the sexual assault by Kitagawa at the end of August and publicly apologized to all victims.

直到今年3月BBC的纪录片《掠食者：日本流行音乐的秘密丑闻》上线，曝光喜多川在从80年代至2010中代40余年间多次性侵旗下未成年练习生及艺人，这件事情才被真正引起重视。杰尼斯很快成为了舆论中心。关于这一指控，喜多川外甥女，即杰尼斯前任社长藤岛景子，已于8月底承认喜多川性侵，并向所有受害者公开道歉。

According to NHK reports, this time the press conference announced that the former Jenis office will focus on compensation affairs after changing its name. According to the Victims Investigation Committee, a total of 478 victims have filed applications, and 325 of them have requested compensation. The compensation list will be updated on the official website of SMILE-UP at any time. Smile-up will be dissolved after the compensation is completed. The existing artists of Janice will be transferred to a new independent company to continue their activities, and the group name containing the three words "Janice" will also be changed, and the new name will be recruited by the FAN CLUB. With this announcement, it was announced that the idol company Jenis Office was officially dissolved after 61 years of establishment.

据NHK报道，这一次记者会则宣布原杰尼斯事务所更名后将专注于赔偿事务。据之前成立的“被害者调查委员会”统计，共收到了478名受害者提出申请，其中325人要求赔偿，赔偿事项会随时在杰尼斯官网上更新，赔偿结束后SMILE-UP也将随之解散。杰尼斯现有艺人将陆续转入独立新公司继续活动，含“杰尼斯”三字的组合名也将更名，新名称将借由FAN CLUB招募产生。此声明一出，宣告成立61年的偶像公司杰尼斯事务所正式解体。
