Question from Readers:
It seems that many people are feeling distrustful regarding the lack of coverage by television media on the matter involving Nagano Mei and Tanaka Kei. After the issues related to Johnny’s, I had heard that reporting would become more unbiased, but is it possible that the influence of major agencies still lingers? Even if Johnny’s ceases to exist,
will new agencies continue to emerge? Is it true that the truth won’t come to light unless international media gets involved? Ultimately, is this just a reflection of a village-like society? Should overseas media like the BBC step in?
Questions Regarding Nagano Mei and Tanaka Kei
Recently, many seem to be feeling distrustful about the lack of coverage on the rumors involving Nagano Mei and Tanaka Kei in television. When I first heard the news, I also felt a sense of unease. Especially after the Johnny’s issues, I thought that reporting would become more unbiased, but it seems that the influence of major agencies still remains.
Media Environment Like a Village Society
This situation feels reminiscent of a village society, doesn’t it? The entertainment industry in Japan is heavily influenced by agencies, making it difficult for the truth to come to light. This is certainly frustrating for us fans. There’s an opinion that the truth won’t be revealed unless international media gets involved, and I agree that major media outlets like the BBC should step in. They are sensitive to human rights issues and might provide broader coverage.
Influence of Soka Gakkai
By the way, I was quite surprised to hear that Nagano Mei appeared in a magazine associated with Soka Gakkai. There are speculations that she might not be a believer, but if she is, that could certainly imply a significant influence. Soka Gakkai is involved as a sponsor in major media, which could lead to pressure from that direction. I remember discussing with friends while watching TV, “Why aren’t they covering this news?” When a scandal involving a favorite actor isn’t reported, it naturally piques the interest of fans.
Balance in Reporting
Regarding the infidelity scandal, while it’s not a crime, I do question whether it’s worth reporting. I often think, “I’d rather see coverage on other things.” I would love it if more interesting comedies or dramas were highlighted. As someone who enjoys comedy and appreciates stand-up and skits from both Japan and the U.S., I’m sensitive to entertainment news. Recently, I watched a funny comedy movie with my child, and we had a great time laughing together. I really wish more of those joyful moments could be shared on television.
