The “World Cup Volleyball 2023” will be held in Japan from September as a qualifying event for the 2012 Paris Olympics. The “A! group” of Kansai Johnny’s Jr., which had been unofficially selected to serve as a special supporter of the event, has been canceled. group” of Kansai Johnny’s Jr. who had been tentatively selected to serve as a special supporter for the event, has been canceled, several media outlets reported.

In the 1990s, when the popularity of volleyball was in the doldrums, Fuji Television, which broadcasts the matches, began to use Johnny’s groups in order to increase viewer ratings and attract more customers. The use of the “A! group” was in line with this trend, and they planned to announce their debut as a special supporter at the same time to boost the excitement.

However, the BBC broadcast the story of the sexual assault of the late Mr. Janney Kitagawa, and the countries participating in the Games complained about the use of Japanese celebrities.

(Sports newspaper reporter) TV stations, which had been quiet about the issue, began to cover it in their news programs after the BBC picked up the story and the victim celebrity confessed her real name at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan. Surprisingly, NTV, which has continued to use Japanese celebrities as the main personalities for “24 Hour TV,” has devoted the most time to reporting on the issue of Janie Kitagawa’s sexual assault.

In order to increase the amount of money raised, Johnny’s celebrities, who have a large number of devoted fans, have been used every year since ’03. The group most closely associated with Nippon TV’s program is “Arashi,” and the fact that they have suspended their activities is probably one of the reasons why they have started to deal with the issue of sexual assault.

Both NHK and TBS are less dependent on Johnny’s than other stations.” As they are known as the “TBS of news reporting,” their news departments are strong, and it is difficult for them to be “disciplined” in their coverage.

TV Asahi is said to be the most dependent on Johnny’s. “TV Asahi devotes the least time to reporting on sexual assault. TV Asahi used to have a rehearsal hall for Johnny’s, and it is undeniable that this may have been the site of sexual assault, so it may be difficult to report aggressively. TV Asahi’s “Music Station” has a history of excluding male idol groups that could be Johnny’s rivals. The viewers are probably aware of this “discovery.

TV Asahi has aired the program “#Naked Boy” by Johnny’s Jr. since 2001, and has also cooperated in promoting young Johnny’s by using groups that have not yet debuted as supporters of the “Summer Station” summer event.

In ’21, the station also established a new drama slot called “Osidora Saturday” starring Johnny’s, co-produced with “J Storm,” of which President Keiko Fujishima Julie (57) serves as chairman. A program featuring “Naniwa Danshi,” reportedly a favorite of Julie’s, is also on the air” (producer, key station).
