Emiko Uenuma, who has been outspoken about the Johnny’s issue on her show, is not a deadbeat.
He’s the worst, the lowest of the low, the lowest of the low. This is not the time to be dead. Come back to life and apologize.
He’s a disgrace to the Japanese entertainment industry. I think he has become a disgrace to the Japanese entertainment industry.
Emiko Uenuma (68), who is the MC of the information variety show “Uenuma Takada no Kugizuke! (Yomiuri TV), an information variety show in which Uenuma Emiko (68) serves as the MC, on August 10. Her comments on the issue of sexual assault by the Johnny’s’s office have become known for their vehemence.
(Yomiuri TV). “For about 20 minutes, Mr. Uenuma had the whole floor to himself when he talked about this issue. For the most part, Mr. Uenuma spoke alone, and neither the guests nor his partner, MC Junji Takada (76), were able to say anything. When Mr. Takada asked Uenuma, “You knew about this, didn’t you? Uenuma asked him, “You knew about this, didn’t you?” and he became slurred, saying, “I’m from the underground…. There were audience members present at the recording, but they did not laugh while Uenuma’s verses were exploding, they just listened.
What did Uenuma actually say?
He stated that he was aware of the story of sexual assault, and he blamed the fact that the media could not say anything about it on the fact that there was a tendency to say, “You can’t say such things, it’s a taboo.
The BBC made an issue of it. The BBC made an issue of it, and the media got upset. It’s disgraceful.
As for the new president Higashiyama, he said, “I don’t think he should be president.
He is a talented and shining person, isn’t he? He’s working hard as an actor and an MC. I would like to see him mentor those people. Management is difficult. I think it would be better if specialists came together to work on it. I think it would be better to have someone who is not involved in the entertainment industry at all. Mr. Higashiyama, you’re wasting your time.
As in his comment at the beginning of this article, he was highly critical of Johnny’s’s actions, and expressed his anger at Johnny’s’s decision to keep the name of the company as it was, saying, “Absolutely not.
It’s outrageous. It’s outrageous. This kind of thing, flaunting the name of the devil. When you hear that name, you can’t help but think about the sexual assault. It’s a big incident. We should destroy it once and for all.
The Internet reaction to Uenuma’s series of comments was extremely positive. Even though they were local to the Kansai and Chukyo regions, there was hardly any opposition to her outspokenness, which could be said to be too much for terrestrial broadcasting.
In the past, Kansai-local TV programs used to feature extreme statements that could not be aired in Tokyo, but these days she is not as outspoken as she used to be. Why is it that Uenuma is able to make such radical statements and why are they supported? Columnist Takahiko Kageyama explains.
