Upset and stunned… 11 celebrities showed “a different face from TV” when interviewed in person.

Snap, stunned, upset, or on the run,…… people tend to react in ways they never expected when they find themselves in a tight spot. From Akashiya Sanma (67), who flinched at reports of a passionate love affair and raised his voice at reporters, to Hiroyuki Miyasako (52), who was stunned by accusations that he had been operating a black market, people react in different ways. This magazine has witnessed the real faces of such celebrities, which they do not show on TV. In recent years, the lives of celebrities often depend on direct interviews and subsequent responses to scandals and scandals. Former weekly magazine reporter and media relations advisor Masaki Kubota analyzes the response to direct interviews as follows.

If you make a nasty face, treat them in an arrogant manner, or threaten them, they will print it as it is. If you respond in a bad way just because you don’t like the person you are talking to, you are doing exactly what they want you to do. There used to be people who used to use violence to tell people that I am a person who doesn’t understand puns, but that was a long time ago. The bigger the name, the better they get along with the weekly newspapers.

He also said that he has the know-how of a journalist who has worked in the field.

The direct hits are more likely to be published in articles, so it is better to be polite and not let the weekly magazine write something bad about you. If you run away or yell, that part of the story may be the only part that is covered. If you turn your back and run away, it will be rehashed at every opportunity.
