<p> A scene from a casual conversation during a commercial for the morning information program &#8220;Mezamashi Saturday&#8221; (Fuji Television Network), which was released in July of this year, is now under fire from X and other viewers.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The video is</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Rookie Koutaro Kamigaki makes his debut as a weathercaster on &#8220;Mezamashi Saturday! The mysterious sense of veteranism has Ryusei Ikuta, Kanako Abe, and Kikue Nishiyama &#8220;Are you really 23 years old, born in 2001? and bewildered! The first time I saw the show, I was surprised to hear that the new announcer was a veteran.</span></p>
<p> The article is about the new announcer, Koutarou Uegaki (23), and the senior announcers, including the exchange they had during the commercials. However, this has now been picked up by X and other media.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;Could this be bullying?</span></p>
<p> The story has caused a stir, with comments such as, &#8220;You don&#8217;t look good!</p>
<h2> It doesn&#8217;t suit you.</h2>
<p> The MCs were Ryusei Ikuta, younger brother of actor Toma Ikuta, Kikue Nishiyama, and Kayako Abe, and it was the debut of Uegaki, who has been talked about as a &#8220;veteran&#8221; weathercaster despite being a rookie.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> During a commercial break, Uegaki, who was standing by for the live weather segment, received a comment from the studio</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Oh, she&#8217;s changing her clothes. You&#8217;re so careless. Wow, your T-shirt doesn&#8217;t suit you.</span></p>
<p> A woman&#8217;s voice with a microphone attached said, &#8220;Wow, your T-shirt doesn&#8217;t suit you. Although the studio was not visible on the screen, it was probably Nishiyama or Abe&#8217;s voice. Then, Ikuta said</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The pop design doesn&#8217;t suit you~!</span></p>
<p> said Ikuta, &#8220;The pop design doesn&#8217;t suit you! Uegaki said, &#8220;Personally, I think it looks great on you.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;Personally, I thought it looked great on you.</span></p>
<p> Uegaki refuted the senior staff&#8217;s insensitive comment. But Abe persisted.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;I think you&#8217;d look good in a jinbei.</span></p>
<p> and teased him with an additional comment, &#8220;I think you would look good in a jinbei.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" He also called her a liar."></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Later, when the topic of Uegaki&#8217;s age came up and it was learned that he was 23 years old (born in 2001), Ikuta said, &#8220;He definitely lied. This series of exchanges was met with some &#8220;bullying,&#8221; &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that bullying? Many people thought it was bullying or distasteful, and around October 28, the video spread rapidly.</span></p>
<p> (A reporter for a women&#8217;s magazine) &#8220;According to the website of the poster of the offending video, the number of imps for this post reached 33 million (as of October 29).</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> There is something unusual going on with the video circulating on X. There are reports that videos are being deleted one after another with the message, &#8216;The media has been disabled due to a claim from the copyright holder. The copyright holder is of course Fuji Television, so they may have made the deletion request to X. The YouTube videos still remain, but unlike the other videos, the comment section has been closed.</span></p>
<h2> Performers distracted during commercials</h2>
<p> But why are they uploading the content of their off-camera conversations so frankly on YouTube? Another person involved in a wide-ranging TV show said, &#8220;To be honest, they are distracted during commercials.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> During commercials, they are honestly distracted, so they sometimes engage in private conversations that are not appropriate for broadcast. The video shows that the announcers are so relaxed that I wonder if they were not informed in advance that the video would be uploaded to YouTube. The title of the video itself is &#8220;The World of the Announcers.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The title of the video itself is a &#8220;look-alike tease,&#8221; and the staff who find it &#8220;amusing&#8221; has poor risk management skills. In this age of &#8220;lookism,&#8221; people are afraid to say things like, &#8220;Your clothes don&#8217;t fit you&#8221; or &#8220;Your age is a lie,&#8221; even in private. It would have been a mistake for her to have happily disclosed this information.</span></p>

<p> On the other hand, Uegaki has been praised for her &#8220;mature response. She may want to be teased by comedians and others and be active in variety shows, or she may be upset inside and say, &#8220;Don&#8217;t be silly. &#8230;&#8230;</p>


 Fuji Television's flagship program "Mezamashi TV" is under fire on the Internet. A video of senior announcers "teasing" the regular Mezamashi Saturday announcers about their clothes, age, etc., has been circulating on the Internet. ......

Fuji Television&#8217;s &#8220;mistake in the first place&#8221; in its eagerness to put out the flames by teasing junior staff members, including Ryusei Ikuta.
