Yes, Sakamoto wouldâve been glad to be told heâd debut. He left Johnnyâs once and more like told Johnny if I donât debut by the time Iâm 20, Iâm leaving. And then he turned 20 so he left. But he came back after a while, for reasons I canât remember â- I think with the help of Taichi, and then Sakamoto became Higashiyamaâs assistant for a while.
But the entire time he was back, he wasnât joining in as a Junior but more of assisting Higashi. While he was in a butai, he was told to come to this particular room, and he thought it was just for a talk so he was still in his butai costume and he walked into a press conference for V6âs debut.Â
Heâd talk about this with a laugh because the rest of V6 were so shocked (and somewhat scared lol) to see him walk in wearing the full regalia of some I donât know, a samurai or something. And they were told this man would be leading them. Heâs also older than them by several years.
As for Okada and Ohno, it was actually mentioned in the HNA episode where Okada was a guest (Mannequin 5). Debuted people leave the Junior dorms and would join the senpai groups if theyâre still in a dorm. So when Okada debuted, he was told heâd leave and according to him, Ohno sent him off with a party (which Ohno doesnât remember doing lol).
Okada is actually Ohnoâs kouhai in terms of Johnny entry but Okada technically became Ohnoâs senpai when he debuted. You wonât see Ohno and Okada act like that though since Okada still treats Ohno like a senpai and Ohno is just your usual Ohno.Â
As for Johnnyâs dorms in general⊠not everyone stayed there. For those whose houses were nearby, they didnât have to stay (not sure if it was Sho or Jun, but one of them didnât stay at the dorms). Higashi eventually left and got his own place, but to his surprise, the future Tokio members were sent to stay with him (hilarity ensues). And sometime ago, there was this whole fiasco of Johnny being accused as a rapist and a pedophile so after that whole thing was dealt with, Juniors were no longer required to stay at the dorms. I wouldnât know today if there are still dorms though.
Imho, dorm stories are among the funniest tales ever told few as they are. I think the Juniors who didnât get to stay missed out on the fun.
