Masahiro Nakai’s “Gyoten News” was cut entirely… The “sound processing” and bloody “scale adjustment” that made TV professionals in the same business roll their eyes.

Not only the editing work, but also post-production.

The first thing to do is to cut Nakai-san from the opening to the ending, so the length of the program would not be enough at all. There is a limit to how much we can add to the VTR we see in the studio, so I think we had to adjust the length by using episodic talks by guests in the studio. The director of this program used wipes to make comments, so we could not use any part of Mr. Nakai’s voice, and the wipes were turned off in some places during the VTR.

(The same director) “There is a strong possibility that the lively parts in the studio and the witty comments of the performers would have been cut out if Nakai’s voice had been overlaid.

The director must be very frustrated. But it is not only the editing work that is difficult for the director, but also post-production, the process of taking the finished material to a professional editing studio to add the message, etc. Redoing a four-hour program takes an enormous amount of time, more than you can imagine. It is mind-boggling to think how many people had to work all night and for how many days. If it were me, I would have nothing but resentment toward Mr. Nakai, no matter how much he has helped me (laughs).

In the program, there were several shots of the performers, and some parts of the video material were edited and stretched out to make it look rough. The number of times the other MC, Shofukutei Tsurube, who was supposed to be near Nakai, was shown or spoke was extremely small to begin with.

At the end of the program, a digest of the January 21 episode was shown as a “preview” of the next episode, but of course Nakai was not shown. It would have been necessary to cut it out as well.

I wonder how many people were affected by the Nakai fiasco.

There is a possibility that there will be claims for penalties and damages in the future. Nakai caused trouble not only to the staff but also to the performers, and it seems certain that the situation cannot be put away with just the word “trouble. ……
