Scoop! The actual “Nomination Candidate & NG List” used at Johnny’s’s press conference was obtained & all names disclosed!
First of all, I think we need to have a dialogue with the media.
What Noriyuki Higashiyama, 57, president and representative director of Johnny’s, said at the press conference was a complete lie.
On the 4th, NHK reported the fact that at the press conference held by Johnny’s s on the 2nd of this month, a “nomination NG list” had been prepared to prevent certain reporters from being assigned to certain questions during the Q&A session. During the press conference, NHK cameras caught one of the management staff walking around with a “NG list” document.
The magazine obtained the “NG List” and the actual document, which read “Questions and Answers at the Press Conference on October 2. The following eight reporters were on the “list of nominated candidates.
Reporter T of the Yomiuri Shimbun’s Tokyo headquarters
Reporter S of Nihon Keizai Shimbun
Reporter O of Nikkei Business Inc.
Reporter Y of Toyo Keizai Inc.
S reporter for Reuters
Reporters U and M, The New York Times
Shohei Fujimori, announcer, TBS
Entertainment reporter Chikako Komai
For the moment, the magazine has made the names of reporters other than those appearing in the media, such as Ms. Komai and Ms. Fujimori, anonymous, with a mosaic of their own in consideration of privacy.
