Failure to draw lessons from discrimination against the Ainu people… “Monday Night Live” is a fabrication issue that has Nippon TV in a state of fear of becoming a “BPO case.

This is an act that should never happen in the TV media.

It seems that TV people who are obsessed with “making something interesting ……” have been involved in the “forbidden fruit”.

It has been discovered that NTV’s “Monday Night Fakashi,” in which Matsuko Deluxe (52) and “Super Eight” star Shingo Murakami (43) serve as MCs, intentionally “fabricated” the comments of a Chinese woman interviewed on the street in the March 24 broadcast.

The content of the program was reconfirmed. When we interviewed a woman from Guangzhou, China, last March, she said

She said, “A crow came to our balcony and took a hanger. I haven’t dried (my laundry) outside since then.”

She told us, “I haven’t dried [my laundry] outside since then. She shows a photo of a crow with a hanger in its mouth on her phone. The “fabrication” is what follows.

There aren’t many crows flying in China. There aren’t many because everyone eats them. Anyway, we end up stewing them and eating them.”

It is in the form of a conversation.

On March 27, NTV admitted on its official website that these statements were fabrications and apologized.

In fact, there is no fact that the woman made any statement to the effect that “in China they eat crows,” and the production staff intentionally edited the content of a conversation on a different topic, which was completely different from the purpose of the woman’s statement.

This is an act that should never have happened in the TV media, and we sincerely apologize to the woman who cooperated in the interview, as well as to our viewers.

The apology was also published in Chinese.

A reporter of this website interviewed a woman from China to be sure.

She said, “It is true that the range of ingredients used for cooking in China is wide. Besides, there are fewer crows on the streets of China than in Japan. That does not mean that Chinese people eat crows.”

A NTV official commented on the latest fabrication fiasco,

“It is truly embarrassing that we have not been able to reflect on what we did last time. ……

,” said one NTV official with a serious expression on his face.

This is because NTV had previously been in hot water over a discriminatory expression made by a comedian in a program about the Ainu tribe in the March 12, 2009 broadcast of “Sukkiri. Moreover, the program was pre-recorded, not live, and had slipped through the checks of the director and producer.
