Hey! Say! JUMP on February 2009 Shounen Club episodes & Tackey proves to be an awesome senpai

It seems like Johnny's net is going to make it a habit of now listing the guests for Shounen Club when they update for filming dates. For February Hey! Say! JUMP will be the guests. Kinda odd to have them back without anything to promote, though I know I'm hoping that we might get official news about a new release from them that they will be promoting for by then.

In other news, Tackey has given many Juniors another reason to love him by giving them the traditional New Year's gift, otoshidama, which is money given in a red envelope to children in your family. In the article it mentions that the total money he gave amounted to 600,000 yen, about $6,000USD. It also states that each otoshidama was 10,000 yen ($100USD) each which means 60 Juniors received this gift from him.

I'm kinda not surprised Tackey did something like this as he's always been attached to the Juniors, so it makes sense that he would think of them a bit like family. And I'm sure the Juniors that received this gift from him will treasure it.
