Behind the scenes, Fuji Television is reporting its own scandals extensively, with the news department “rising up in unison” and “anger toward the suspected executives” over the Nakai issue.
Using the public airwaves to make a big deal about its own scandals
The furor sparked by the female troubles of retired entertainer Masahiro Nakai (52) has shaken the very foundations of Fuji Television Network. More than 75 sponsors have suspended their commercials, and the situation has spread to affiliate stations as well.
Fuji’s news department was outraged by this situation. Mokka information program reported the series of scandals in detail, even though it was its own station.
On January 23, the day of the briefing, “Live News It! on January 23, the day of the briefing, Aimi Miyashi, an analyst, commented on the reaction of the employees who heard President Minato’s explanation.
The employees in the studio at the press conference were sighing deeply, and some of them were saying, “Huh!
The report states, “The employees in the studio at the press conference were sighing deeply and saying ‘huh’ in places.
On the “Mezamashi 8” broadcast on the 24th, Risa Kishimoto, an analyst who has been with the company for three years, asked
I think they should have at least told us why the problem happened, or at least given an explanation of their responsibility.

She added, “We are using the public airwaves to make a big deal about our company’s scandal. Usually, when this kind of thing happens, it is only mentioned in the program in a casual way. This time, the news department is in a completely pissed-off mode, and they are saying, ‘We’ll take responsibility, so go ahead and do it! This time, the news department was in a completely pissed-off mood, and they were determined to take responsibility. Even when upper management asked them to “go easy on them,” they would not listen. Even a briefing session for employees was finally realized after the top management of the news department was very hard on them,” said a TV station official.
The news department has a great deal of influence at the TV stations, and NHK’s special “The Realities of the ‘Idol Empire’ of Johnny’s Kitagawa” last October, a scathing review of the former Johnny’s problems, attracted a great deal of attention.
The entertainment department, which wanted to work with STARTO ENTERTAINMENT in a fair and fair manner, was not happy about this, but it was the news department that pushed for the airing of this special as well.
However, it was the news department that pushed for this to go on the air. “There are rumors, however, that the news department has also allowed female reporters to attend drinking parties with police and prosecutors’ officials. In the current Fuji case, there are a number of stories that were destroyed at the behest of Mr. A, a senior programming executive who was reportedly involved in Mr. Nakai’s troubles in the past, and this has amplified the anger.
When will Fuji’s governance function normally?
