Kansai Junior, Which Tadayoshi Okura is Pushing hard, Has Come Under Fire
In addition, there has been some recent controversy surrounding AmBitious’s Raku Kawashita regarding Kansai Junior. It started when a woman, claimed to be his former girlfriend, posted private sleeping photos on social media, leading to a messy situation where allegations of infidelity and womanizing are being exposed.
“In addition to Kawashita’s controversy, Kansai Junior, particularly Hakui who is being promoted, has faced backlash. Regarding this, the agency announced that he will be withdrawing from the August performance ‘TV Asahi Roppongi Hills Summer Festival SUMMER STATION 2024’ for ticket winners. Some media reported that Kawashita would ‘temporarily suspend activities due to health reasons,’ but there has been no official statement from the agency, leaving the situation unclear. Currently, AmBitious operates with an eight-member lineup excluding Kawashita.” (Entertainment Writer)
