On August 4, Fuwacchan, a YouTuber and comedian, sparked a huge controversy by using inappropriate language toward Yasuko on X. The radio program “Fuwacchan&#8217;s All-Night Nippon 0,” which she was scheduled to appear on, was canceled, and the regular broadcast of “The Consultation Office in Line” on August 11 (NTV) underwent editing to minimize Fuwacchan’s appearance.
While Fuwacchan has often stirred controversy with her outspoken behavior, this level of backlash is unprecedented. According to a sports newspaper entertainment reporter.
 
“Her previously smooth career has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. She is utterly exhausted. Her manager is trying to handle the situation by consulting with influential figures in the entertainment industry.”
According to the report.
It seems that Fuwacchan, having received advice, detailed the situation on her X account on the 8th. After expressing her apologies, she explained the reason for her inappropriate post:
&#8220;At the time of the post, I was talking about anti-comments and, upon accidentally seeing Yasuko&#8217;s post, I intended to write something along the lines of, &#8216;If anti-comments are going to be attached to this.&#8217; I included the content of the post in question and showed the screen to those present, but due to an operational mistake, I accidentally posted it.”
She stated.
At the time, Fuwacchan was reportedly traveling with Aiko Kano from the comedy duo &#8220;A Masso&#8221; and Shintaro Morimoto from the comedy trio &#8220;Tontsukatan.&#8221; While they were playing a game similar to a comedy improv, she accidentally made her answer public. 
If this is true, Fuwacchan&#8217;s post was merely a product of the comedic improv game and was not meant to be a genuine insult towards Yasuko.
&#8220;It’s a rather clumsy answer for an improv game,&#8221; says a comedy industry insider. &#8220;Although Shosina from the comedy duo &#8216;Shimofuri Myojo&#8217; suggests that comedians might do such things as part of an improv game, it honestly feels forced. Many people online view the apology post as a &#8216;desperate attempt,&#8217; which has only worsened the situation rather than calming it.”
Yasuko is the one who is deeply troubled by Fuwacchan&#8217;s actions.
On August 8th, through her talent agency, Yasuko stated:
&#8220;Regarding this matter, we have met with the individuals involved and discussed it.”
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead="Yasuko declared that she would block extreme slander..."></div>
&#8220;I want to share positive words on social media, so I will not comment on this issue further. I apologize if I caused any discomfort.”
She posted something like that. 
&#8220;Yasuko never anticipated that the scandal would escalate to this extent. She is shocked that her involvement might affect Fuwacchan&#8217;s career. She is reportedly discussing with Fuwacchan&#8217;s agency to see if there is anything she can do to help.&#8221; (said a sports newspaper reporter)
&nbsp;
While Yasuko&#8217;s post has received many supportive messages, some people have still sent defamatory comments despite Yasuko being a &#8216;victim&#8217; in the scandal. On the 10th, she posted:
&nbsp;
&#8220;I’m taking screenshots of extreme defamation and blocking those responsible.&#8221;
&nbsp;
This made it clear that she is facing harm.
&nbsp;
Although Fuwacchan has apologized directly and Yasuko has forgiven her, the situation is not calming down and continues to escalate for both parties. This has raised concerns among TV industry professionals. 
&nbsp;
&#8220;Yasuko&#8217;s character is increasingly being damaged as the scandal drags on. Known for her unique high-pitched voice and her commitment to everything she does, she has a positive image, and this scandal does not align with her character.
&nbsp;
Every time she appears on TV, Fuwacchan&#8217;s face might overshadow her, which is a negative impact. Despite forgiving Fuwacchan, she faces defamation like &#8216;Why did you forgive her?&#8217; and her mental well-being is a concern. It would be ideal if other comedians could turn this into a joke, but it might be too soon for that. The hope is that they do not end up dragging each other down.&#8221;
&nbsp;
The ongoing scandal is gradually damaging Yasuko as well. The question remains whether there will be a resolution.
