We interviewed FUJIWARA’s Fujimon, who was involved in a hit-and-run scandal! Was he with his girlfriend at the time?

Fujimoto keeps shouting during the recording, so it’s hard to edit it as if he wasn’t there. ……

On October 4, Fujimoto Toshifumi (Fujimon), 52, of the comedy duo “Fujiwara,” collided with a car at an intersection in Shibuya Ward. On October 11, the duo announced their self-restraint from activities after a hit-and-run incident in which they left the scene. Fujimon has no regular TV programs, but after the announcement of his voluntary suspension, the TV stations were busy dealing with the situation.

He said, “It was a time of many special programs, and some of them had already been recorded. He was in a prominent position in all the programs and hosted some of the corners, so we couldn’t cut them. I think that the recorded programs will be broadcast with the emphasis that they were recorded before the accident, but from around the time of the recording of the year-end specials, I don’t think we will see him at all because he is still adjusting his appearance offers.

It was reported that he had gone to work as usual immediately after the accident, leading to various speculations that he might have been with someone else, etc. FRIDAY interviewed Fujimon directly as he was returning home from a convenience store.

–I’m Mr. Fujimon, and I’m here to talk to you. I’m here about the property damage accident. Have you apologized to the victims?

I have already apologized to the victims. Yes, I am very sorry.

–Why didn’t you take proper action immediately after the accident?

“Oh, that’s because I’m in the middle of a self-restraint, so please go through my office.

–Was it because you had a girlfriend or other passengers with you at the time of the accident?

No, I did not!　I’m sorry, I’m sorry. ……”

Saying that, he rolled his back and drove away. It seems that even the energetic “gaya-bancho” has no choice but to hide his breath for the time being.
