Tomohiro Anraku, who was effectively fired due to the power harassment scandal, became a You Tuber…⁉Rakuten is afraid of “the second Garcy-ization

A Pacific League team official familiar with crisis management envisions the worst-case scenario for Yasuraku’s “outburst” as follows: “The biggest concern on the Rakuten side is that Yasura will expose the inside story of the turmoil through YouTube and other media.

What Rakuten is most concerned about is that Yasuraku will expose the inside story of the turmoil one after another on YouTube and other media,” said a source familiar with crisis management. Of course, there is a risk of being sued for libel without proof, but former House of Councillors member Yoshikazu Azumaya, 52, a.k.a. “Garcy,” has been exposing the wrongdoings of celebrities on his channel, one after another, without any real evidence. It is still fresh in our minds that the number of registered viewers quickly exceeded one million. The worst thing that could happen to Rakuten would be for Anraku to become the “Garcy” of the baseball world.

One of the most famous YouTube stars who is a former professional baseball player is Masao Kasahara, 32, a former Giant who was released from his contract due to a baseball betting scandal.

Kasahara’s videos have gained popularity for their frankness and openness about the backstage of the baseball world. He has even filmed videos of famous players’ relationships with women, using his network of former colleagues as a source of information. Kaname Takino (27) and Takuya Mitsuma (31), both former Chunichi players, uploaded a video to YouTube in which they talk about the so-called “Reiwa rice riot” caused by Kazuyoshi Tachinami (54), the manager. The video gained a lot of views.

If Yasura also makes a guest appearance in a video or starts his own channel, he will also be able to earn views. When the baseball team repeatedly said at press conferences that they were keeping in touch with Yasura, who had been released on a free-agent contract, they must have meant that they were monitoring him to prevent him from revealing his inside information on his own.

We hope that the “comfort bomb” will be a dud. ……
