Same move happened with many clients when Johnny scandal hits few years ago

-8 ( +8 / -16 )

The case also shone the spotlight on other TV channels, with local media reporting that dinners and drinking parties involving celebrities and young women were common practice.

Oh no! People having fun! The horror!

Took them a while…..now some government bureaucrat is being paid and wasting tax money to make sure they find the right timing to give ads again to collect donations again. Circle of …..

Good, Shut this sham down.

This dirty and corrupt entertainment culture is slowly but surly is getting cleaned up, the good old days when scandals and their victims use to get buried under the sand are no longer possible thanks to Social Media and the internet.

Now let the prosecutors handle this too.

I think you mean celebrities having fun. I'm not sure about the young women.

Not even close. Advertisers pulled their support of Johnny's, not the television media.

owzer - I somehow don’t think you’ve got the point of this story

Not "having fun" in general, but in a way that facilitates abuse of young women. This reflects a culture where this was thought as normal and was abused by people with undue amount of power over the women.

I think you mean celebrities having fun. I'm not sure about the young women.

You’re not sure about the young women, but you’re certain you know what I mean - even though I said something completely different.

riiiiight

The article didn’t state that - and Japan Today is always complete and accurate in its coverage.

You’re not sure about the young women, but you’re certain you know what I mean - even though I said something completely different.

Note my use of the term "I think." Who do you think the people were that were having all the fun, then?

The monster can never show his face in public again. He has two options: flee the country or plastic surgery.

As long as you realize you were mistaken, it's all good.

Who do you think the people were that were having all the fun, then?

The people at the party. It's rather simple.

Few companies can survive long without a consistent flow of revenue. Let this be a lesson to the rest of the entertainment industry, stop enabling predators.

Complete over reacting again against the company. Same thing could have, has happened, is happening and will happen again m’n thousands of companies.

the actor/singer should get punished and that is the end of it.

After weekly Bunshun announced to correct trivial part of one of many articles, fans of Nakai or Fuji TV respond to only headline "Bunshun" "corrected article", don't even read its content, and they have interpreted as if "Nakai-Fuji TV case" was all fiction or fabrication despite no change basic that Fuji TV had prioritized position of Nakai than human rights of sufferer until other weekly magazine reported this case last December.

TV news shows who dislike weekly magazines criticize only Bunshun to flatter "fans", part of social media users are exploiting such situation to increase number of views.

I hoped I wasn't.

Who do you think the people were that were having all the fun, then?

The people at the party. It's rather simple.

So you do actually mean the young women too, then?

Why, if others were complicit in what was happening?

If they were attending said parties, then yes. If they were attending any other sort of event where people were taking advantage of them, then probably no. Pretty sure the article said "party" tho. I mean, what girl in her right mind would willingly go somewhere that she knew others had been taken advantage of and that she would also be abused somehow. Suggesting that maligns the women in the entertainment industry, imo.

Have you considered the possibility that they were employees who had little choice but to attend.

Who ever suggested it?
