In the current series, Yutaka Mizutani is teaming up with Yasufumi Terawaki for “Partners. He seems to be quite upset about this latest scandal…

Shocking news has been reported regarding the popular “Partners” drama series starring actor Yutaka Mizutani.

A former female employee in her 20s at Toei, a major distribution company that produces the series, was found to have been sexually harassed by a male staff member who held her hand. The labor union, the General Support Union, announced the incident on February 13. She said she was victimized on the set of the popular TV drama “Partners.

According to the union, from ’19 to ’20, a woman was sent messages from several male staff members asking to meet her and asking if she was dating someone. The woman talked to the company about it, but the male staff member who responded said, “You’re lucky you’re so popular.

The woman said that the male staff member who responded to her question made comments such as, “You’re lucky you’re so popular.

The woman said that in June 2009, the male staff member who responded to her question said something like, “You’re lucky you’re popular.

The woman took a leave of absence in June 2009 and resigned last October. Toei conducted an investigation by lawyers and reported the results to the labor union in writing at the end of last year. Toei reported the results to the labor union in writing at the end of last year, stating that it had given the male employee a stern warning.

The company apologized to the male employee, saying, “We made him feel uncomfortable, and there were some inappropriate points in the way we handled the situation when we consulted with him.”

The company apologized to the male employee.

Mizutani, who plays the lead role, hates this kind of news the most. According to a person involved in the drama.

The team of “Partners” is like a family, and there is always a friendly atmosphere on set. However, Mr. Mizutani himself had no idea that such sexual harassment was taking place behind the scenes, and he expressed his anger.

Mr. Mizutani is now 70 years old. As has been said in various quarters, he is now at an age where he is considering drawing the curtain on his career. It would never be his intention to have the last years of his drama career tarnished by these reports.”

Mizutani says that, partly due to her age, she has recently been giving out more NGs in long scenes, but she always bows to her co-stars and says, “I’m sorry. A young actor who once co-starred with him said.

He always says, “If you are in Mizutani’s class, you don’t have to apologize every single time. I was impressed by the care he showed even when he became a big name actor.

He also said, “The drama itself did not have the same viewership as in the past.

The drama itself does not have the explosive power that it once had when the ratings were in the 20% range. However, looking around NHK and commercial dramas this season, only NHK’s historical drama “Dousuru Ieyasu” and “Partners” have maintained double-digit viewer ratings.

In the midst of the “drama recession,” it is no easy task to maintain stable numbers. Once again, “Partners” has proven its groundswell of strength.

TV Asahi would like to continue “Partners” as long as possible.

One actor who has been making his presence felt on the set of “Partners” is Yasufumi Terawaki, the first-generation sidekick who “returned” to the series. A manager of an entertainment professional who works at the scene of “Partners” said, “Terawaki is very high-spirited.

He is extremely high-spirited and has become a mood-maker on the set. He is now 60 years old, but he is always trying to look young and often talks about the secret to his youthfulness.

He often talks about the secret to his youthfulness. He often talks about the secret to his youthfulness. Sometimes he shows up on the set dressed in a top and bottom jersey like a dancer wears,” he says.

Terawaki is “two sides of the same coin.

Terawaki has a “no-frills” personality, and he and Mizutani are perfect for each other. When Terawaki temporarily left “Partners” in December 2008, there were rumors that he and Mizutani did not get along, but the latest casting shows that this was a mistake.

The sexual harassment issue at the beginning of the show may have put a damper on the teamwork of the partners.

I heard that Toei’s top executives themselves have firmly vowed to Mr. Mizutani and others to prevent a recurrence of such an incident.

Fans will want to watch “Partners” for as long as possible. What kind of finale awaits them?
