Huwa-chan’s “return to TV” is not in sight… “Why it is hopeless for her to appear on terrestrial TV” even if Yasuko allows her to do so.

Huwa-chan has been under fire for her gaffes on social networking sites. She has yet to resume her entertainment activities.

Even at a major agency, “We have to wait for offers.”

When a celebrity commits a scandal, they often suspend their entertainment activities as a penalty or as a form of misogi (purification). They are dropped from TV, radio, commercials, etc., and disappear from the public stage.

After some time has passed, they resume their activities when the dust has cooled, but the hurdles are quite high when it comes to a return to terrestrial television. Many TV personalities, such as Ken Watabe (52) of Un-jash and Hiroyuki Miyasako (54), formerly of Ameagari Kesshitai, have found it difficult to return even if they wanted to.

This year, the following celebrities have been exposed for scandals: Yuichi Nakamaru (41) of “KAT-TUN” for his “affair with APA,” Shinji Saito (42) of “Jungle Pocket” for his “alleged sexual assault on a location bus,” and Huwa-chan’s “inappropriate postings” are still fresh in our minds.

Saito’s contract was terminated by Yoshimoto Kogyo after he was charged with sexual assault, which is the most abhorrent thing to viewers. He is also facing allegations of debt, and the chances of his return to TV are almost zero.

Nakamaru’s image has been severely damaged by the fact that he was always well-liked and was newly married, and his return to TV is also in a difficult situation.

The fact that the former Johnny’s was warned by the Fair Trade Commission in 2007 that it was suspected of pressuring former SMAP members not to appear on TV has weakened the influence of the major firms, making it more difficult for them to return to TV.

As in the past, it is no longer possible for the firms to “go to great lengths” to get their members to appear on TV programs,” said Mr. Kurokawa. In these days of strict compliance, it is also difficult to aggressively market a talent who has been involved in scandals. They have no choice but to sit tight and wait for offers.

As a result, talented newcomers are being born one after another, and the generational change is accelerating.

There are plenty of replacements, so no show will go out of its way to use a talent with a risky scandal,” said a producer at a key station.

Even if an idol has taken the world by storm, it is difficult for her to return to TV after a scandal.

I was wondering if there will be an “accident” one day. ……

How about Huwa’s return? Let’s take a quick look back at her uproar.

In August of this year, Yasuko (26),

Yasuko Olympics, I’m great just because I’m alive, so everyone wins!

on X. In response, Huwa-chan responded, “I’m so great just to be alive! In response, Huwa-chan replied

In response, Huwa-chan posted a quote, “You are not great, so please die.

In response, Huwa-chan reposted the quote, “You’re not great, so please die.

Even the sponsors were surprised by the “shocking fact.

The post was immediately deleted, but the screenshot spread simultaneously. Blame poured in, and Huwa-chan was forced to drop her regular radio and TV shows, and her commercials were discontinued.

She later apologized on social media and Yasuko forgave her, but the barrage of criticism did not stop, and Huwa-chan went on an indefinite entertainment hiatus.

Four months have passed since then, and it has been reported that “Matrix no Neru Kakusho” (NTV) and “Wide Nah Show” (Fuji TV), in which Huwa-chan appeared regularly, will be terminated in March of next year.

There will be no place for Huwa-chan to return to. The producer of the key station mentioned above said, “To sum it up, there is no way she will return to show business.

To tell you the truth, I was always nervous about Huwa-chan. Her innocence, purity, and “off-the-beaten-path” nature are all good qualities, but I was worried that she might have an “accident” one day. I was glad that the trouble was not during the broadcast of the program. Worst-case scenario, the program would have been “blown out of the sky.

In fact, there have been complaints from older viewers about Huwa-chan’s behavior. However, the fact that the screenshots were spread was fatal.

A producer at another key station said.

A producer at another key station said, “This incident revealed that Huwa-chan has a lot more latent anti-fans than the station thought. The sponsors are also surprised by this fact. Many of the senior talents who co-starred with Huwa-chan clearly had “NG” expressions on their faces, even if they did not say it out loud. It is hard to imagine a big-name sponsor offering a helping hand. ……

Now that all of the potential antagonists have spoken out at once, it will be difficult for them to return to the public stage. I think he is keenly aware that the world of the Internet and social networking sites, which are also his old haunts, are more suited to him.
