Hiroyuki Miyasako Declares War on Critics After TV Show Cancellation

“At Chiba TV, after a five-year absence.

 

It’s gone!!”

 

“After being on TV for over 30 years, this is the first time!”

On May 31st, Hiroyuki Miyasako, formerly of the comedy duo “Amagasaki Rendezvous,” updated his own YouTube channel

“My return to terrestrial TV has been canceled.”

He reported that his TV appearance after five years has been canceled.

In this video, he called on Reo Takashima, the producer from Talent Box, who explained the situation.

The program “Takumi’s Classroom” features professionals from various fields speaking before aspiring TV talents, actors, and voice actors. In past broadcasts, Takehiro Kimoto from “TKO” appeared, discussing investment troubles among other topics.

Takashima personally expressed being a fan of Miyasako and stated that he extended the offer to Miyasako based on his own preference.

After prior discussions, filming took place on April 23rd. The compliance check company received the video footage on May 13th, and it was delivered to Chiba TV on the 22nd. The program was announced on the 28th, receiving significant attention on the internet and social media. However,

“The program featuring Hiroyuki Miyasako, as reported in online news and elsewhere, was produced by an external production company without any such notification. Therefore, there are no plans to broadcast this program. That is all.”

And they made this heartless announcement.

According to Miyasako, he mentioned that the filming was enjoyable:

 

“It was so funny that it caused a sonic boom of laughter and shattered all the windows! A burst of laughter. The students were laughing so much they were fainting!”

 

He self-praised, almost as if saying, “You miss out on big opportunities.” 

“I haven’t given up yet.”

“I’m waiting for offers.”

“I’ll do my best!”

And he expressed his determination in the video.

“Chiba TV wasted a large sum of production costs by discarding a completed program. External production companies typically add captions, music, and other elements to deliver broadcast-ready content to television stations. However, Chiba TV’s practice of not disclosing the content until delivery raises concerns.

 

The station’s producers should have reviewed the proposal and given approval before proceeding with filming. In this case, Miyasako is clearly the victim. Chiba TV’s statement lacks consideration or apology towards Miyasako and is deemed excessively harsh by industry insiders.” (Source: TV station insider)

In this incident, although not a legal precedent, the impression that “Miyasako is a no-go for TV” has been strongly reinforced. With a television station going to such lengths to block his comeback, it may deter other programs from taking a chance on him. 

However, despite passing the program’s compliance check this time, why has Miyasako’s appearance been rejected so strongly?

“There is a concern about potential backlash from viewers who express disgust, and consideration for sponsors as well. However, the main reason is likely deference to Yoshimoto Kogyo.

Since the ‘dark business’ issue and Miyasako’s subsequent defiance against President Okamoto during the press conference, he has become an ‘enemy’ to Yoshimoto. Even if Yoshimoto may not explicitly object to Miyasako’s appearance, television stations are undoubtedly still cautious,” ( insider from a wide-show program)

Miyasako has received comments from his critics regarding this postponement incident. Nonetheless,

“I apologize only to those who said things like ‘You rushed in too quickly’ or ‘You shouldn’t come back.’ I’m not discouraged at all, and your words don’t affect me. Just let me do this much.”

He said this and then showed a gag by tapping Passion Yara’s chest. He raised a clenched fist to his critics and declared war.

Will Hiroyuki Miyasako ever appear on broadcast television again?
