Kanjani Eight
The scandal had a significant impact on Kanjani Eight as well as NEWS, the other group he was active in. Johnny's &amp; Associates removed Uchi from both units and put him under an indefinite hiatus from all activities. Also, the drama special about the World War II Kamikaze pilots starring the group, "Yakusoku", was canceled. Kanjani Eight continued on that year to do their first Osaka-jō Hall performance with one member less in the summer of 2005.
