Sho Sakurai Finally Mentions the Issue of “Mr. Janey’s Sexual Assault” In the Fourth Week and Nippon Tv Went Behind the Scenes on a Top-secret Mission
We’ve been talking about this on the show, Mr. Sakurai,” said Yumiko Arido, the main anchor.
At the urging of main anchor Yumiko Arido, Sho Sakurai of “Arashi,” who had decided to remain silent, finally opened his mouth.
On June 5, Sakurai made his first comment on “news zero” (NTV), where he anchors on Mondays, about the “sexual assault” of Johnny’s founder, Mr. Kitagawa.
After the VTR was over, Ariyuki returned to the studio and asked Sakurai, as he had done at the beginning of the program, “What do you have to say about this?
I wish I could tell you about this in my own words,” he said.
I would like to tell you about this in my own words,” he began.
One is that I belong to an office that is now being held responsible for the problem. The other is that I am in a position where I could be seen as a victim.
For me, I thought it would be difficult to make two comments. It is still difficult to know where I stand and how I can talk about it, but one thing I would like to say is that there are people who are hurt by speculation,” he said.
He said, “I am still in a difficult position to tell you how to speak about this issue, but one thing I want to tell you is that there are people who are hurt by speculation. Although he seemed to hold back tears from time to time, the public seemed divided on the issue.
Sakurai said that he could be seen as a victim, but of course he did not say whether he was a victim or not. He told the Johnny’s office, “I want you to investigate what happened to me without forcing someone who does not want to talk to me to open his mouth, and with a firm commitment to protecting his privacy. This must be an indication that he did not want to say specifically what had happened to him.
(A reporter from a sports newspaper) “Behind the reason he finally opened his mouth in the fourth week was that many people said he was an “unqualified anchor. While others such as Noriyuki Higashiyama and Yuichi Nakamaru were commenting on the program, Sakurai, who appeared on a serious socially-conscious news program, could not keep his dignity if he ran away.
However, behind the scenes, it seems that there was some slapstick going on. A person involved in Nippon TV’s wide-ranging news show, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “The NTV affiliate is a nationwide network.
NTV affiliates have a nationwide network, so they share information through the system, and it is possible to see in advance what news ZERO is going to broadcast. However, perhaps because they were afraid of information leaks in advance, they wrote the section in which Mr. Sakurai would speak only as “Politics Department Straight” so that other programs would not know.
Normally, the content would have been written on the program, so the staff wondered, “What’s this? The staff wondered, “What is this? For example, in the case of a scoop, the content might be hidden by writing, “Original by the Political Affairs Department,” but in the case of “straight news,” why would there be a need to hide it? It’s like, “Why do you need to hide it if it’s straight news?
The “content unknown” broadcast slot had less than five minutes of airtime.
The news coverage that day was somewhat tense from the morning,” said Mr. Sakurai. Mr. Sakurai’s mentioning of the issue in the program was leaked, and he probably didn’t want to be the first to report it on the Internet news. Well, to put it another way, I guess that’s how much they care about Johnny’s.” (A source from a wide-ranging TV show)
Caster Sakurai delivered a “long speech” without once looking away from the camera. Will she finally be able to “clear her name” now?
