After 5 years, Hiroyuki Miyasako is finally returning to terrestrial broadcasting. ……

It looks like his dream is finally coming true, but …….

Hiroyuki Miyasako, formerly of “Ameagari Kesshitai,” will have his own regular show on TV Saitama’s new program “Beauty Man – Hiroyuki Miyasako Ike Oji Manifesto” (starting October 7, 1:30 am).

For some time, Miyasako had been talking about returning to television. At first, he said

“I want to be back next to my partner.

However, he was forced to leave the group by Hotohara Toru in a “three-way” move, and his return to TV was dissolved.

In June, there was talk of a return to the Chiba TV program, but it was “shelved.

In June, he announced on his YouTube page that he would appear on a Chiba Television program, but the station denied that there were any plans to air the program. The program was put on hold. Then TV Saitama, another local station in the Kanto region, came forward again.

TV Saitama has also approved of the project. This time, TV Saitama has approved the appearance, so the broadcast will probably be finalized. Naturally, the sponsors have also given their approval, which is why the new program has been launched. Fans are also rejoicing because Mr. Miyasako’s dream has come true” (TV station production producer).

Because of the high profile, the number of programs featuring Miyasako may increase in the future. Nowadays, even freelance comedians can send out information via SNS and YouTube, so the role of an agency is often less important than in the past.

However, there is a view that “a dark cloud is hanging over Miyasako.

He said, “It is significant that I exposed to the world the power harassment of Yoshimoto’s president Akihiko Okamoto during the “black market” scandal. He tearfully claimed that he could not give a press conference because he was pressured, “If I give a press conference, I will be fired from my job,” “I hope you didn’t roll the tape,” and so on. At that time, Koji Kato and Haruna Kondo, who had been angrily criticized by the president and others on “Sukkiri” (Nippon Television Network Corporation), were changed from Yoshimoto’s organization to an agent’s contract. President Okamoto was forced to hold a press conference, partly on the advice of Hitoshi Matsumoto, and the public beat him to a pulp. Mr. Miyasako is not simply treated as a freelance comedian who left Yoshimoto. I think TV Saitama is a courageous move. I hope it doesn’t affect other programs. ……” (a person involved in a wide-ranging TV show)

Even a commercial featuring Miyasako was refused for terrestrial broadcasting

Yusuke Tanaka, president of fashion mail-order company Rocondo, which helped Miyasako “return to TV commercials,” revealed on his YouTube page that his commercials were rejected for broadcast by commercial TV stations other than TV Tokyo. Sponsors are supposed to be like “gods” for TV stations, but to be rejected by a TV station is unusual. Although it is unclear what the intention was, there is a strong possibility that the TV station made some kind of discovery.

TV Saitama is known for having produced “Iroha ni Chidori,” Chidori’s first program after moving to Tokyo. In addition to that, he also produced “Soreyuke! Omiya Seven” and other regular programs, and there is no doubt that TV Saitama is a TV station with close ties to Yoshimoto.

Will Miyasako be able to continue to work on his regular programs in peace?
