Daisuke Motoki has been in uproar with over 900 complaints．．．the criticism of his past post revealing Ohtani’s favorite car continues， and there are also suspicions that he refused to be interviewed．
2024/11/04 16:19 “It is not clear whether he was accompanying the Fuji TV reporting team, but since he was shown on the WS broadcast, the criticism has extended to Motoki as well. He has remained silent, but…” (Web Media Reporter) The Dodgers came from behind to beat the Yankees by a maximum of five points and won the World Series (hereafter referred to as WS). Fuji Television exclusively broadcast all the games live, but there was no one-on-one interview with Shohei Ohtani (30). While Fuji Television is being looked at coldly, the criticism also seems to be directed at Daisuke Motoki (52), a former Yomiuri Giants player and baseball commentator who was covering the incident on-site. A photo of Ohtani’s favorite car that was posted on Instagram about eight months ago (it has since been deleted) has become popular again. The Dodgers won Game 5 of the World Series on October 30th (October 31st Japan time), and reporters interviewed the players on the mound immediately after the victory. Fuji TV’s broadcast included footage of player Yoshinobu Yamamoto (26) being interviewed by Motoki. Masahiro Nakai (52), who serves as the station’s live broadcast supporter, expressed his excitement in the studio, saying, “I wonder if we’ll be able to interview Ohtani too?” However, a one-on-one interview with Ohtani never took place until the end. “While Yamamoto has given two interviews to Fuji TV, Otani has not given an exclusive interview to the station until now. On the other hand, Ohtani has been interviewed by NHK-BS twice. Because of this, there is a growing view that “Fuji was refused an interview by Ohtani.” Speaking of Fuji, along with Nippon TV, they were criticized for their persistent coverage, including taking aerial photographs of Ohtani’s new home. It is said that Ohtani was also furious, and in June of this year, Shukan Gendai reported that “the Dodgers had frozen coverage passes for Fuji and Nippon TV.” Fuji TV’s president, Koichi Minato, denied the “freezing of interview passes” at a regular press conference the following month, but apologized, saying, “We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused to Otani, his family, and those involved…” (TV station source) ■ “Please explain” Instagram comments section goes wild over “Otani’s car photo”… The news about Fuji TV’s new home has been brought up again due to the WS broadcast, but Motoki also says he “excessively interviewed” Otani. “Motoki covered the Dodgers’ spring training camp in Glendale, Arizona in February of this year. He appeared live on Fuji TV’s sports information program “s-park” from the scene and interviewed Yamamoto. However, he also uploaded a photo of a car that appears to belong to Ohtani to his Instagram. It is unclear whether permission was obtained for the photo to be taken, but Motoki stood close enough to see inside the vehicle and posed as if to show off the vehicle. The post was quietly deleted shortly after, likely due to a flood of criticism from fans. This happened about eight months ago, but Motoki’s appearance on the WS broadcast has once again brought the issue into question, linking it to Fuji TV’s excessive reporting. The photo has been shared on x, and criticism is rising again.” (Web media reporter) It seems that such criticism has also reached her Instagram account. In his latest post on October 31st, Motoki uploaded photos and videos of the Dodgers team celebrating their victory. There were also photos of player Mookie Betts (32) and manager Dave Roberts (52) taken up close, with their congratulations saying, “Congratulations to the Dodgers on winning the World Series.” However, contrary to the celebratory mood, the comment section was in an uproar over the photo of Ohtani’s favorite car. To date, there have been over 970 posts, with harsh criticism and calls for explanations being expressed (as of 4 p.m. on the 4th). “I’m disappointed.” “I’m disappointed…someone else’s car…please explain why you did it.” “It’s fine if you got permission to film, but I think you should explain which it was.” “Don’t do something out of the ordinary like exposing someone else’s car without permission.” “It’s unacceptable that you’re exposing a car without learning anything from the fact that Fuji TV exposed a house and got banned.”
>>12 Area off-limits to anyone but those involved Actually, it seems that until recently, anyone other than the general public was free to enter, but apparently it has become a strictly off-limits area due to incidents of people taking voyeur photos and impersonating fans, not just Otani I don’t know how they got in, but what they did there has been exposed and is now a hot topic over there.
This behavior is a direct reflection of the lack of morals of baseball players in the past, and I feel sorry for the Giants players who were coached by someone like this.
Well, there’s no way Motoki could have gone into a place like this on his own, so either the station or the program should take the blame and protect him.
As soon as it became clear that Fuji was there, Otani had to cancel all interviews, including the others. If he can’t ban Fuji, that’s the only option.
>>34 He used to be famous on 2chan as Motoki Shinne-san He was supposed to have regained popularity by being a dopey character But there’s no doubt that he’s a treasure trove of material for internet people His story of joining the team, his hidden ball, his high salary despite not being a regular player, his dopey character, and how he managed to ignore Kiyohara’s arrest In the internet world, he’s a powerful cleanup hitter.
I had mistakenly thought that the Porsche expose was a barbaric act that took place during the WS, but I guess it was during training camp. It’s not something to be praised, but at the time, all the media was excited about the fact that Ohtani was driving a Porsche! Ohtani was also blatant in promoting a different Porsche every day, probably at the request of his sponsor, Porsche. Well, let’s just forgive him for this incident alone.
Looking at this whole incident, it’s clear that Ohtani in particular is the type of person who dislikes this kind of thing, so why did he do something like this?
