Why “800 subscribers” is a waste of time for Yoko Maki, who opened a YouTube channel for her movie “Kaneko Kaishiriten”?
She also had a battle with former “Plus Minus” star Iwahashi.
Yoko Maki (42), who has often been in the news as a “disturbed actress,” took the stage to celebrate the opening of the movie “Kaneko Saishiriten.
Kaneko Saigiten” depicts a delivery agency that provides delivery services to inmates of prisons and detention centers that have strict rules. Maki plays the wife of “SUPER EIGHT” Ryuhei Maruyama (41), the lead actor who runs the store.
The movie seems to have been well received, according to film journalist Harumi Nakayama,
According to film journalist Harumi Nakayama, “She has been in a lot of good movies, so I think many people in the film industry want to use her. Her acting ability is perfect. She also showed off her impressive action skills in the drama “SP Keishicho Keishicho Security Service Daiyon-kakari” (Fuji TV), in which she co-starred with Junichi Okada (44). I think he has an insatiable appetite for acting and has the spirit of an actor with a lot of guts. People call them pouty or eccentric, but on the contrary, it is a sign that they are sensitive and receptive, and all of those who are called talented actors have their own personalities that they just don’t show.
However, from the videos and stage appearances, she seems to have plumped up a bit. I wonder if this will affect her future roles,
I think everyone adds different tastes as they get older, and the roles they play change. Also, there used to be a notion that actresses had to be beautiful all the time, but that was just the ideal image men had of women. But today, that is not the case. If she can find a role that suits her age, I think she will be able to carve out a new path, and I think she has found a path that is unique to her.
Maki has made a “full comeback” as an actor, but when we think of her, we can’t help but think of last year’s debacle.
Last February, Yoshimasa Iwahashi, formerly of the comedy duo Plus Minus, accused her of shooting him with an air gun on SNS, and a battle broke out between the two. Then, Hollywood Zakoshisho posted an “exaggerated” imitation of her on his YouTube channel, which added to the uproar.
Perhaps in shock at being made into a story, Maki became ill and was hospitalized. Zakoshisho’s office immediately apologized and the video was deleted. However, on his Instagram page, Maki confessed that he had become anorexic after hearing Zakoshi’s over-exaggerated imitation from a friend and seeing the comments on a social networking service, and revealed that he was recuperating in the hospital, writing this message from the hospital. (Sports newspaper reporter).
In addition, a person claiming to be Maki’s partner posted a photo of Maki lying in a hospital bed on her Instagram page,
She will never regain consciousness, so I, her partner, will let you know instead.
This caused a controversy.
Four months later, in June of last year, she announced her recovery on her Instagram. She posted that she was in good health. However, those around him said
I can’t say I’m perfect yet. He is still a little unsteady in many ways,” said a source in the entertainment industry.

In a talk with her brother, who was a staff member of her private agency
A year later, she had become a “YouTube star. An employee of a film distribution company said, “I think she’s trying to show that she’s back,
“I think she wants to show that she’s fully recovered. For the past year, she has rarely been mentioned in the news, and there have been few reports of her appearing in movies. I think the opening of the YouTube site will also play a role in her acting career, including the promotion of her movies.
I believe that the launch of YouTube will help her acting career, including the promotion of her movies,” she said.
The YouTube channel, which was launched on April 28, still has about 800 subscribers after almost a month. Most of the videos have less than 2,000 views.
Despite being a well-known actor, he has not generated much buzz. The industry is even talking about the fact that he is not a topic of conversation.
The main reason for this may be the title of the movie, “Kanamori Sisters.
Maki’s real name is Yoko Kanamori, and she posted a video in which she talks mostly with her younger brother, who used to be a staff member at her private office. However, few people would immediately recognize it as Maki’s YouTube channel.
If the name “Yoko Maki” was used, it would be easier for fans to search for it. This should increase the number of views.
The reason is that this YouTube channel is quite interesting. Maki always appears in everyday clothes, or rather, in loungewear, and she does not appear to be wearing any makeup. She is overacting as usual, but you can enjoy the real “Yoko Maki,” which is a must-see even if you are not a fan of hers.
It is a shame that she is not better known. There is a possibility that Maki will produce her own works in the future, and the opening of the YouTube site may be a stepping stone to that end.
We look forward to the future of “Shin” Yoko Maki.
