And can someone give him my number? Recently Johnny's Entertainment's talent income has been leaked. Weekly Magazine reporter says “Osaka area local show or partial evening newspaper exposed yearly income. Best 5 are;
#1: Masahiro Nakai 500M yen
#2: Takuya Kimura 450M yen
#3: Sho Sakurai 300M yen
#4: Shingo Katori 250M yen
#5: Taichi Kokubun, 200M yen.”
The listed amount is just a guess based on a comparison of a 2005 bulletin from CM client and TV Company clients. However, since the recession there should have been a decrease. “According to bulletin in 2005, the income of year 2004 of Nakai was 220M and Kimura was 270 yen. Yearly income must be increased.” Well looks like Johnny's Entertainment is smacking this recession in the face.
Last year Kokubun was in several variety shows such as "Wanda." He also worked on a Nippon Television series called "Ninety-nine round and round" and a TBS series called "Tainocchi"
Katori worked on a TBS drama series "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo" and starred in, Daihatsu "TANTO." He also hosted Terebi serve "SmaSTATION!!"
Sakurai released three albums and an Arashi DVD, and the CM. He participated in the NTV drama series "The Quiz Show" and stared in the hot movie "YATTERMAN."
Kimura stared in the TBS drama "MR.BRAIN" and "Tamahomu."
Nakai is acting in this month's Fuji 9 drama called "Konkatsu". Despite the show "SMAPxSMAP" taking a hit from Fuji TV, Nakai still managed to make the most out of the Johnny's.

2. Kimura Takuya (SMAP)
3. Kusanagi Tsuyoshi (SMAP)
4. Kokubun Taichi (TOKIO)
5. Sakurai Sho (Arashi)
- Nakai Masahiro is paid between 3 million and 4 million yen (US$33,171 - US$44,228) for every program he hosts. Currently hosting 6 regular programs. Has 4 solo CMs.
- Kimura Takuya has 9 CMs. The earnings vary but starts from a base of 50 million yen (US$552,850).
- A premium CM that stars all 5 members of SMAP reportedly costs about 500 million yen (about US$5.5 million)
I personally thought Sho would have made it higher on the list. "YATTERMAN" was a big hit and Arashi CD's are always playing non stop where ever I go. Also the advertisements are EVERYWHERE in Shibuya station and its hard for me to miss anything Arashi on my daily commute. But I guess SMAP takes the cake because as I wait for the train I am forced to stand in front of an obnoxiously large poster of Kimura Takuya...
