Yuya Tegoshi’s “declining to sing the national anthem” was praised for his mature response… “Just don’t do it,” Hiramoto Ren and Mirai Asakura’s “responsibility for speaking up.”

Former “NEWS” member Yuya Tegoshi was involved in an unexpected “accident.

He was scheduled to sing the national anthem at the martial arts event “Cho-RIZIN.3” on July 28, but the players were reluctant to do so, so Tegoshi himself asked to withdraw from singing the anthem.

The main attraction of the event was the match-up between Mirai Asakura and Ren Hiramoto, and when the RIZIN management announced that Tekashi would sing the national anthem at the match, Asakura replied in an X

I thank the management for their thoughtfulness in making the event more exciting.

Asakura posted, “Please don’t sing the national anthem before the match. His opponent, Ren Hiramoto, posted the following,

I don’t want the national anthem and I don’t want to hear Mirai Asakura’s “Kimi ga irareta” (I want to hear Mirai Asakura’s “If you’re there”).

(now deleted). In addition, he sent a DM to Tekashi

I’m Ren Hiramoto and I watched Itte Q. It was fun. Please stop playing the national anthem. Please withdraw even now. The story will sag because of you. I am a fan and I don’t want to hate you. Please absolutely withdraw from the national anthem, thank you.

and sent it to him, which he published on Instagram Stories.
