Three days after the press conference…” “M-Station Pressure Allegation” against Mr. Julie Fujishima “Contents of the rebuttal” sent by Johnny’s’s office.

New allegations have surfaced against Keiko Fujishima Julie, the former president of Johnny’s, who has been forced to deal with the issue of sexual assault by Johnny Kitagawa. It is causing controversy on the Internet and elsewhere.

It all started with a video posted on September 22 on journalist Daisuke Tsuda’s YouTube channel, Politas TV.

The program is a talk show about current events using news articles. Journalist Osamu Aoki, who appeared as a guest, criticized Julie’s response to the issue of sexual assault by Johnny’s. In that vein.

I digress, I digress…”

He prefaced his remarks with the following,

A few days after the press conference with Julie, Higashiyama, and Inohara, I talked to an executive at a certain TV station and was appalled. In short, there was a singing program that until then had only featured janitorial staff. Some of you may have seen that singing program, but it was the first time they had a so-called “male idol” other than the janitorial staff.

Mr. Tsuda replied.

“Some kind of station, right?

Mr. Tsuda chimed in, “Some kind of station. Aoki continued.

When I started the project, I went to …… and found that it was really great. I was really impressed with that too, but I heard that the person in charge of the station notified Mr. Julie.

Mr. Tsuda could not remain silent.

That’s strange, isn’t it? （I said (at the press conference) that there was no need for discovery, but to give notice is in itself discovery.

He then pointed out that Mr. Aoki was the one who had made the allegations. Aoki then revealed the nature of his suspicions.

I don’t know if this is accurate, but I was told by the executive that Mr. Julie said, ‘I think it can’t be helped this time, but if this continues for a long time, we’ll think about how to deal with it.

When Mr. Tsuda revealed Mr. Julie’s “pressure allegations,” he could not hide his surprise, saying, “Oh no. ……

This is a story about TV Asahi’s “Music Station” (M-Station), no matter how one looks at it. Until now, M-Station has had a “Johnny’s” quota and no other male idols were allowed to appear on the program.

However, after the press conference, M-Station announced that the seven-member boy group “BE: FIRST” would appear for the first time in a three-hour special on September 29. If the statement is true, this may have something to do with the matter. ……” (Wide show insider)

Perhaps because of this situation, Aoki’s statement was reported simultaneously by the Internet news,

“In the end, the constitution remains the same.
What were those tears?
What were those tears?

What were those tears? If this is true, then nothing has changed at Johnny’s. ……

We sent a letter of inquiry to Johnny’s asking if there was any pressure on MSTE, and received a response in writing.

There is absolutely no evidence that our company’s Fujishima ever said to the TV station executives or anyone else involved, “We think it can’t be helped this time, but if this continues for a long time, we will think about how to handle it.

This is because, from our press conference on September 7 to the present, Fujishima has never had the opportunity to meet with the executives or employees of the TV station. Nor have we ever communicated any such information to them by phone or e-mail.

Fujishima strongly denies the “pressure allegations. In addition

We all know what would happen if any employee were to say such a thing. There is no way they would do that.

We have not received any prior interview or confirmation of the facts from Mr. Aoki or Mr. Tsuda, who made the statement. It is truly sad that the public was given the impression that, contrary to the facts, Fujishima was exerting undue pressure even after the press conference.

He responded, “I am very saddened by this. When asked if he would change his policy of “refraining from appearances by celebrities” in the future, he responded, “I am very saddened by the impression that Fujishima was under undue pressure even after the press conference,

There may have been some bargaining going on between the management at the time of the founding of the company and the employees at that time. However, we are not under any pressure at this time.

He responded, “We are not under any pressure from our company at this time.

Until now, the Johnny’s office has reigned supreme in the entertainment industry through discovery and “pressure” from TV stations. Where will they go from here?
