Multiple Cancelled Project Amidst Seshimo’s Womanizing, while Bukuro is Totally Un-affected with His’

Yutaka Seshita of the comedy duo “Jersey Mouse” has announced a suspension of his entertainment activities.

Seshita apologized last month after his infidelity was reported in the weekly Bunshun. He seemed to have gotten over the difficulty for a while, but in the April 14 issue of the weekly Bunshun, he was found to be having an affair with several women again. This time, however, the article included such extreme words as “abortion” and “violent sexual acts,” and Seshita told Bunshun that he had been involved with several women in the past.

“I intend to resign as a comedian.”

Seshimo wrote on Twitter

I sincerely apologize to the women I have hurt through my irresponsible behavior. I would also like to express my sincere apologies to my fans and all those concerned for any inconvenience or concern caused by the content of some of the news articles.

He apologized. He continued:

I regret my past actions and have decided to refrain from performing for the time being.

The company announced, “We are pleased to announce that we are now in the process of developing a new production. In response to this, Seshita’s scene was cut from the Nippon Television program “Himitsu no Kenmin Show Kyoku” on the 14th, in which he was scheduled to appear. His appearances at Lumine the Yoshimoto in Tokyo and other comedy live shows were also cancelled.

As one might expect, Seshita’s heart was breaking this time. Before his performance at Lumine, the Yoshimoto staff asked him, ‘What are you going to do?’ He replied, ‘I can’t do comedy anymore.’ However, many people regret his talent for comedy. It seems that he has decided to suspend his entertainment activities for the time being in order to cool down for a while.

In the midst of all this, the comedy duo “Saraba Seishun no Hikari” Higashi Bukuro unexpectedly attracted attention. Last April, Higashi Bukuro was reported to have forced his girlfriend to have an abortion. Because of this, there were harsh comments on the Internet blaming Higashi Bukuro.

However, Higashi Bukuro’s business is booming. This spring, TVO will launch two new programs featuring “Saraba Seishun no Hikari” (Farewell, Light of Youth), starting on April 26: “Saraba no Kono Hondare no Dare ga Kubitenenen!” and “Saraba Seishun no Hikari no Azuma Bukuro to Debutante”.

Producer Kosuke Yodota made the following comments at a recent press conference.

Kosuke Yoda, the producer of the film, said at the recent press conference: “Higashi Bukuro is a great artist, but there is a part of him that has not been caught on well by the media. I would like to take advantage of his characteristics and special skills with a novel project by a new director. I hope that Morita will pick on him and enjoy the goofiness of the project.

That’s a very high evaluation. The reason why Seshita was out and Higashi Bukuro was safe is as follows.

The biggest thing is that Seshita had a wife and children, and Mr. Higashi was single. This avoids the word “adultery.”

He points out.

There is another reason. Compared to Tokyo, Osaka is still more tolerant of “prick talk” by celebrities. According to a person involved in comedy in the Kansai region

People in Osaka are not that interested in comedians’ affairs and scandals. Even now, there is a ‘as long as it’s funny, it’s good enough’ mentality. If it’s local to Kansai, it won’t be broadcast in Tokyo, so they often manage to force their way through.”

He said.

Anjush’s Ken Watanabe is a highly likable actor who has appeared in commercials, so he was seriously damaged by the affair report. On the other hand, Higashi Bukuro has not appeared in any commercials. In a way, that saved his life.

The “stray bullet” from Seshita may even be used as a story for the future. It seems that Seshita and the other two are now on very different sides.
