Yasuko Faces Backlash in Fuwa-chan Outburst Incident, Sparking Industry Concerns

On August 4, the YouTube star and comedian Huwa-chan caused a firestorm when he threw inappropriate words at the comedian Yasuko on X. Huwa-chan was scheduled to appear on the radio show “Huwa-chan’s All Night Nippon 0”, but the show was cancelled and he was not able to appear. The radio program “Huwa-chan’s All Night Nippon 0” was cancelled, and the “Matrix Talks” (NTV) program on which he regularly appears on August 11 was edited to “hide Huwa-chan.

Huwa-chan has been the subject of controversy for her unspoken words and actions, but this is the first time she has come under fire to this extent. According to a reporter in charge of entertainment at a sports newspaper

According to a reporter in charge of entertainment at a sports paper, “Her business, which was going well, has taken a sudden turn for the worse. She is exhausted. Her manager was consulting with a leading figure in the entertainment world in an effort to somehow put out the fire.

He said, “I think it was because of the advice he received.

Perhaps because of the advice he received, Huwa-chan explained in detail the circumstances of the incident on his X page on August 8. After apologizing, he explained the reason for his inappropriate post.

At the time of the post, I was talking about anti-comments, and I happened to see Yasuko-san’s post, which said, “If there are anti-comments on this. I showed the screen to the person who was there, and then I accidentally posted the contents of the post.

He stated.

At the time, Huwa-chan was traveling with Aiko Kano of the comedy duo “A Masso” and Shintaro Morimoto of the comedy trio “Tontzkatan,” and was playing a kind of comedy game with them when he accidentally announced his “answer” to the world.

If this is true, Huwa-chan’s post was motivated by her desire to participate in a comedy game, and she did not mean to slander Yasuko.

The answer is too poor for a comedy contest, though (laughs). Mr. Sakashina of the comedy duo SHIMOFURI MYOJO said, “Comedians do it just for the sake of making a joke,” but to be honest, it seems forced. Many people on the Internet consider the apology post as a “bad move,” and instead of putting out the fire, it has become a situation that pours fuel on the fire,” said a person involved in the comedy industry.

Yasuko is heartbroken over Huwa-chan’s situation.

On August 8, she announced through her agency

He commented that he had met with both parties concerned and had discussed the matter.

On the 9th, he made the following comment on X

I will not mention it in the future because I want to use social networking sites to send out cheerful words. I am sorry if I have offended you.

I am sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.

Yasuko did not expect the uproar to spread this far. She is shocked that Huwa-chan’s talent life is being affected by her involvement. She is discussing with her agency to see if there is anything she can do for Huwa-chan. ……

Many of Yasuko’s postings were messages of support, but some were slanderous despite the fact that she was a “victim” of Huwa-chan’s verbal abuse. Finally, on the 10th

I’ve blocked the extreme slanderous scribblings.

On the 10th, she posted, “I’ve been blocked. He revealed that he had been victimized.

Although Huwa-chan apologized directly to Yasuko and Yasuko supposedly forgave her, the flames did not subside but only spread to both parties. A TV station official expressed his concern about the situation.

Yasuko’s character will be damaged the longer the furor drags on,” said a source at a TV station. Yasuko is well-liked for her distinctive high tone voice and her attitude of doing her best in everything she does, and the current disturbance is not in keeping with her character.

The fact that Huwa-chan’s face is glimpsed every time she appears on TV will also be a negative. Furthermore, even though she forgave Huwa-chan, she was slandered, such as “Why do you forgive him?” I am worried about her mental state. It would be nice if other comedians could tease him and make him laugh, but it is still too early for that. I hope they don’t “fall together. ……

Yasuko is also slowly taking the brunt of the current turmoil. The “IJI” is a very popular and popular brand in Japan.
