As we've known that a documentary about nearly-three-months stage show titled Johnnys' World produced by three Guiness Record holder, Johnny Kitagawa had been aired on NHK World last Saturday (Jan 27, 2013). I wonder why the Jimusho suddenly allowed media to shoot their backstage. But still it made overseas fans very happy. Why not? It could be streamed freely around the world, and using English so we didn't have to wait any fansubber to translate it. :)
My first reaction when they entered the rehearsal place is 'Wow! I got to see my idol's plain look'. Yes, I'm very enthusiastic about it. It's rare to see them with only T-shirt and sweat pants, without any make-up, plus sweating a lot XD. They filmed Chinen when he was practicing his trapeze act and Yamada with his tight-rope walking. I never knew they trained that hard to be able pull those acts. I'm a little disappointed because they wouldn't shoot the other members doing. They did filmed it but not personally and not that much. But I'm proud of them. They said that JUMP is the biggest rising star among younger Johnnys. But I'm pretty mad when they said that JUMP is seven member group. No, it's ten. Well, it's nine now, but I hope I'll be ten members group again. :)

I'm happy they interviewed Yamada a lot. But, there will be fans who think it wasn't fair. Yeah, I'm sure there are. Because I happened to see this documentary with my friend whose bias is Chinen. She was happy when they showed Chinen practicing trapeze act, but disappointed when they didn't interviewed Chinen. Maybe they did interviewed him, but didn't include it in the documentary. We don't know. But I hope media will act more fair when shoot the members, because I do feel the documentary is Yamada-centered. Fans are sensitive and subjective beings, you know. Ah, I think I should stop now, I'm not here to criticize the way this documentary filmed. >< By the way, I was happy when they interviewed Hokuto, too XD
The show started with the actors singing and flying around then suddenly error occurred. Yamada who was flying around started running to stage properties and dropped to the stage floor. Other members began to say that the show should be stopped because it's dangerous, but then Yabu appeared and said that the show must be go on. It's a cool scenario, yet I found it somehow ticklish. I can't describe it. Johnnys likes to make the audience tense up by showing the talents in danger. It's like in Summary 2010, Chinen slipped and nearly fell when climbing rope stairs before he did the trapeze. They always use the same pattern, yet they succeed make the audience gasp.
My favorite part is when they filmed JUMP within their casual clothes. First, when they arrived before the first show, they looked better in their own clothes. Then, Yamada and Chinen entered a room. I guess they share a room. Somehow it makes me happy. YamaChii isn't my OTP, but they was and still one of my favorite pairings. I missed them because 2012 is a year filled with a little of them. Next, when the show ended, JUMP appeared from elevator and some of them topless. Yamada is XD. Takaki and Arioka seemed panic because someone filmed them in such a state. It's funny to see them like that. XD

This main focus of this documentary is an interview with our beloved producer, Johnny Kitagawa. But I won't deny that the footages is more interesting. XD He didn't want to be filmed so we could only hear his voice. He talked about how he started the Jimusho, about what he thinks about his talents. For me, it's like sugar-coated words. I don't think he was lying or something like that, but I'm no good with sweet-words. I can't differentiate which one is honest and which one is fake. I can't. I just afraid that what I believe is fake. It's better to hear bitter reality than a fake hope. But I hope all he said was true and honest, for the best of everyone. Honest or not, he's still a great man. When they interviewed Takaki and Arioka about their boss, they gave positive responses. So, maybe I'll believe what Johnny said.
They also showed the show a bit. I wish I could watch it live. >< But it's already ended. Besides the ticket is expensive. What a poor fan I am. I just hope I can watch it live when they do the sequel, Johnnys' Universe. Yes, they said they will.I should save my money from now. Can I manage it, I wonder. ><
Ah, one more thing. I'm still thinking why suddenly Johnny allows this kind of publications. I've heard that Johnny is really strict about that. It's aired worldwide, right? Is there is change within Johnny's strategy? Is he aiming for global market now? Or he just showing that he's a holder of three Guiness Record? Hahaha, I don't know. Waiting for his next spectacular move. XD
