 Although viewers seem to have lower expectations for the program than before, the fact that it is a major event that the entire station is involved in has not changed. It is still a program that literally &#8216;bets on the fate of the company'&#8221; (NTV official).
 24-Hour TV&#8221; (NTV) will be broadcast on August 26 and 27. This year, too, the main personalities will be Japanese celebrities.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Even if we can say that the celebrities are blameless, do they have no hesitation in using Japanese celebrities in spite of all the criticism over the &#8220;sexual assault issue&#8221;?
 Amid concerns that the program would lose viewers, a scandal broke out involving a member of Johnny&#8217;s Jr.&#8217;s &#8220;Bishonen,&#8221; who is now the main personality on Chukyo TV, an affiliate of NTV.
 While Kanazashi Issei&#8217;s leaked photo of him and his girlfriend in a relationship is still a good thing, as he is not solely to blame, the video of Yuto Nasu throwing cream puffs at him posted on SNS was a natural flame war. Moreover, it was Sato Ryuga who was filming the video.
 As for Sato, he appeared on an acquaintance&#8217;s Instagram live without telling the office after his love affair was revealed. In addition, his performance at &#8220;ALL Journeys&#8217;Jr2023 Wasshoi CAMP! in Dome&#8221; in July of this year, in which 200 members of Kansai Johnny&#8217;s Jr. performed, was criticized by some fans. in Dome&#8221; was criticized by some fans.

 Furthermore, member Daigo Nishihata and Natsuyasu Adachi, an analyst in her second year with Yomiuri TV, were reported to be in love.
 The Internet has been abuzz with criticism, and in the past, this would have warranted a house arrest or suspension for a certain period of time, but this time they are not being punished in the slightest.

The president of &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s Island,&#8221; Yoshihiko Inohara, is the president of &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s Island,
 This issue. Whatever the reason may be, it is not an acceptable act as a human being or an idol.
 However, he added
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 I promised them that I would change my mind and become more aware of myself as an adult, and that I would devote myself to the cause every day so that one day I would be recognized by everyone. Perhaps there is a way to encourage them to reflect on their actions by refraining from activities.
 However, we believe that it is also against our responsibility as adults to throw away jobs that we are currently being offered. Once I accept a job, I will do my best to fulfill it.
 I will do my best once I accept a job,&#8221; he commented.
 In other words, there was no voluntary restraint on activities, and in other words, he was acquitted of all charges.
 Needless to say, there was a storm of criticism on the Internet. A former Johnny&#8217;s official said, &#8220;The people who resigned are also active members of the current Talent Agency.
 &#8220;Both the quitters, the current talents, and the fans are appalled at this, saying it&#8217;s impossible. Some people are even saying, &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s is finished.
 Then, on March 21, Nasu apologized on &#8220;Lavit! (TBS) on the 21st as if nothing had happened without apology. It is obvious why Nasu was punished in this way,
 It&#8217;s because we can&#8217;t afford to leave holes in the impending broadcasts, some of which have already been recorded, and it&#8217;s impossible to make a substitute now. Also, in order to get ratings, we have to rely on Johnny&#8217;s, which is a shortcut to get ratings.
Fortunately, Bishonen is a personality at Chukyo TV, so we are just going to let them handle it and get away with it.
 However, there is a strong possibility that this will come back to haunt them later as a big &#8220;bill.

 However, this is likely to be a big &#8220;bill&#8221; that will come back to haunt them later on. Naturally, there will be viewers who are anti-Johnny&#8217;s, so if they start yelling, they will get on the air, and the atmosphere may become awkward. If that happens, the charity program will be ruined.
 There are also protests against the sponsors. The sexual assault scandal involving Janie Kitagawa has raised doubts about the use of Johnny&#8217;s talent, and with the personality scandal, we cannot deny the possibility that some sponsors will leave the program in the future.
 Johnny&#8217;s&#8221; has become the &#8220;Achilles&#8217; heel&#8221; of the program.
