When in doubt, do a sequel:
Takuya Kimura to star in TV Asahi 2020 Spring drama "BG: Personal Bodyguard Season 2"
Takuya Kimura is coming back as Akira Shimazaki in the TV Asahi 2020 Spring drama "BG: Personal Bodyguard Season 2". Also returning are Takumi Saito, Nanao and Shotaro Mamiya. New characters are Mikako Ichikawa, Masanobu Katsumura, and Toru Nakamura.
This time around the private security company where Shimazaki worked, is sold to a large company. The large company’s policy is only focused on making a profit, so he quits his job there and begins to work for himself as a private bodyguard.
A solo album, a couple dramas. Kimtaku seems to be keeping busy. Can't say the same for the other ex-SMAP members. I wonder if they're sitting at home thinking, "Maybe breaking up wasn't such a bright idea"? _________________

^ You might be right. Even Kusanagi, who I think is just as good an actor as Kimtaku hasn't been seen much. I think the last drama he did was "Uso no Sensou".

Takuya Kimura to release 2nd album
Takuya Kimura will release his second album "Next Destination" on January 19th, 2022.
The album's title, which Kimura came up with, means heading toward the next destination with hope. He wants to encourage people to overcome the coronavirus disaster and take a new step forward. "We have no choice but to go! Let's aim for the next destination together," he said.
The album will include a new song titled "MOJO DRIVE" which was composed Tatsuro Yamashita and written by Masatoshi Mashima (The Cro-Magnons). Yamashita came up with this song after he attended the Tokyo concert of Kimura's tour 'TAKUYA KIMURA Live Tour 2020 Go with the Flow' in February of last year. As he was working on the song, Yamashita asked Mashima to write its lyrics. Although it was not planned, Yamashita, Mashima, and Kimura were all at the recording studio at the same time, so they recorded the chorus together. In addition to "MOJO DRIVE," there will be another song by Yamashita and Mashima.
