<h2> Expressed as a direction in the editing and composition of the program</h2>
 Night Scoop&#8221; (ABC TV, Kansai local) aired on January 23! Night Scoop&#8221; (ABC TV, Kansai local), which aired on January 23, there was an uproar over whether the client was a &#8220;young carer.
 The client, a sixth-grade boy living in Hiroshima Prefecture, is the eldest of six siblings, and his parents work together, with the eldest son and his father handling the household chores.

 When this story was broadcast, the Internet and other media were ablaze with accusations that the eldest son might be a young carer who is left to his parents to take care of the housework and childcare. The mother&#8217;s social networking site was also identified and slanderous comments were posted.
 In response to this &#8220;young carer&#8221; allegation, former House of Representatives member Fumiaki Kobayashi, chairman of the LDP&#8217;s Economy, Trade, and Industry Subcommittee, stated in an XX message on March 25, &#8220;I will share this information with the administrative authorities and ask the education committee to investigate this matter,
 We will share this information with the administrative agencies, including the Board of Education, and have them respond to the allegations carefully.
 The situation has developed into a political uproar.
 In the midst of all this, Detective! Night Scoop further ignited the controversy by admitting the &#8220;staging&#8221; on its official website on January 26.
 In the broadcast, the father, who usually stays at home and takes care of the housework and childcare, leaves his infant child at home, and at the end of the VTR, the mother says, &#8220;Cook rice, 7 cups. The father, who is basically in charge of housework and childcare, leaves his infant child at home, and the mother says at the end of the VTR, &#8220;I&#8217;m cooking rice, 7 cups. These statements are not intended to represent the actual living conditions of the subjects or their daily lives as they are.
 He commented. Furthermore, the text of the request from the eldest son was broadcast.
 To be honest, I&#8217;m tired of doing the first-born son. I&#8217;ve only played the first son since I was born, so I&#8217;d like to be the second son, even if it&#8217;s just for a day.
 The original request was a &#8220;composition&#8221; staged by the program. The original request reads as follows
 The original sentence of the request reads as follows: &#8220;All eight members of my family cooperate with each other in housework and childcare, but I work the hardest of all my siblings. I would like you to investigate how I compare to the other children in the family.
 The oldest son is a three- to four-year-old boy, and the youngest son is a three- to four-year-old boy. He also said that his oldest son spends time learning to play basketball, which he loves, three to four times a week.

 The program&#8217;s written announcement gives the impression that this is very different from what was on-air. One of the comments reads
 The comment, &#8220;This is a staged performance in terms of the program&#8217;s editing and composition.
 This part of the comment is considered a &#8220;fake announcement,&#8221; and the Internet is ablaze with flames.

<h2>Allegations of &#8220;air requests&#8221; also surfaced.</h2>
 The show claims to be commissioned by the general public, but many writers are involved in the production. It is well-known in the industry that they are directing &#8216;a lot&#8217; of the show,&#8221; said a producer at a local TV station.
 A producer at a TV station in Osaka said, &#8220;We are famous in the industry for directing the show with a lot of energy.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 It is common to ask the client to direct the program in order to make it more interesting. Since this program uses as little narration as possible, we often have the clients cooperate with us in making comments so that we can get to the next development or ending. The mother&#8217;s comment, &#8216;Cook rice, seven cups,&#8217; is a case in point. The producer of a local TV station said, &#8220;I think the program was overdirected and there was not enough consideration for the client&#8217;s point of view.
 It seems that &#8220;directing&#8221; the client to conform to the program&#8217;s production style was an everyday occurrence.
 Another TV station official, who said that an acquaintance of his appeared on the program as a client, made a shocking admission: &#8230;&#8230;.
 In an episode in which he and a detective searched for and obtained a certain product, an acquaintance of mine who works in the entertainment industry appeared on the show as a &#8220;client. We bumped into each other later at the TV station and I said, &#8216;Detective, you were on Night Scoop! Night Scoop. Did you commission it? He said, &#8220;No, I didn&#8217;t make any request. &#8230;&#8230;&#8221; I remember being surprised because I thought the program might have &#8220;made up&#8221; the request itself. I was surprised.
 It would be difficult to consistently receive three interesting requests a week. Sometimes, there are times when the client does not appear on the air, but only the text of the request, which makes the viewer wonder, &#8220;Does the client really exist? This raises the question, &#8220;Does the client really exist?&#8221; and raises suspicions of &#8220;air requests,&#8221; which could shake the very raison d&#8217;etre of the program.
 Therefore, this website asked ABC, the broadcaster of &#8220;Tantei! Night Scoop&#8221; to directly ask ABC TV about the &#8220;allegations.
 Q. Do you ever change the content of requests for production purposes other than the broadcast that caused this issue?
 A. Usually, after receiving a request, we explain the purpose of the interview, including discussions between the program staff and the subject of the interview, and confirm consent. We then edit and broadcast the program, so basically we are responsible for the editing structure during this process. We will never do anything that is not in line with the intention of the interview subject or that may cause discomfort. We will only broadcast the story after the audience agrees to the direction.
 Q. Have you ever made up a request for an interview even though you were not asked to do so?
 No, we don&#8217;t. This program has been running for many years. As I mentioned earlier, we consult with the client based on the request, but we do not start from scratch. I think there are some circumstances that make it difficult for the client to appear on the show, so it is difficult to say at this stage, but I can tell you that we do not start from scratch.

 Q. Do you intend to go back to past broadcasts to investigate whether there were any instances of impropriety in the past?
 Q. Do you intend to go back to past broadcasts to investigate any possible misconduct in the future? However, we have been reflecting on the various forms of feedback we have received, including your opinions this time. We take very seriously the fact that strong criticisms and even slander have been directed at the subjects of our coverage as a result.
