Not only Masahiro Nakai, but also the producer, is being “tailed off”… Fuji TV is being pressured by the falling stock price to “pursue the Diet” plan.

Some opposition parties to appeal at the regular Diet session in January.

According to Fuji Television’s official website, the company was listed on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 1997.’ It says that in April 2010, Fuji Media Holdings, a certified broadcast holding company, will move to the prime market of the TSE.

As a publicly listed company, shareholders have a strong voice. Future shareholder meetings are likely to be contentious. The company’s stock price was 1,848 yen (closing price) on December 20 when the Nakai article appeared, but it fell when Fuji TV employees’ involvement began to be suspected. It has dropped to 1,595 yen (January 9), although it is probably not all due to this fiasco. If no one takes responsibility and the company continues to keep a low profile, the shareholders who have incurred losses will not remain silent.

A look at Fuji’s top shareholders shows not only major corporations such as Toho, Bunka Hoso, and NTT DoCoMo, but also investment trust banks. As might be expected, if they see Nakai’s fuss as a factor in the stock price decline, they will be forced to take harsh measures.

“Furthermore, since the regular Diet session begins this month, the opposition parties may make an appeal by pursuing the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, who has jurisdiction over broadcasting licenses, in order to further drive the minority ruling party into a corner. The opposition may try to “cut off the lizard’s tail” by placing the blame on Mr. A alone before the entire Fuji Television network sinks. However, it is also true that Mr. A has contributed greatly to Fuji Television’s variety of programs. It remains to be seen how he will steer the company in the future.

The dilemma is that if he continues to completely deny the allegations and keep a low profile despite the fact that the victims are speaking out, the Internet will continue to be inflamed in a contradictory manner. Furthermore, there is a possibility of an “avalanche” of other female employees leaking the story to the weekly magazines as a “#MeToo.

Nakai’s TV and radio regulars, as well as commercials, have been almost completely destroyed. I wonder if not only Nakai but also Fuji TV is planning to keep their mouths shut. ……
