[Fuwa-chan controversy] We interview Kano from ’amasso’， who is at the centre of the controversy！ He responds with a smile， “Sorry， I’m sorry about that story．”
A month has passed since the “Fuwa-chan’s inappropriate post” controversy. On August 11, Fuwa-chan (30) announced that she would be taking a break from entertainment activities. Yasuko’s (26) side also revealed that she had received an apology from Fuwa-chan, and it seemed that the commotion had come to an end. However, an article published in News Post Seven on the 31st is causing a stir once again. According to the article, the person who started posting Fuwa-chan’s post was comedian Kano (35) of the comedy duo “Amasso.” During a trip with comedy trio “Tontsukatan” member Shintaro Morimoto (34) and others, Kano first came across Yasuko’s post and asked Fuwa-chan, “What do you think about this post?” Fuwa-chan took this as a pretense from her senior, and created the example sentence in a comedy-like style. Following the report, the public began to think that Kano was the mastermind behind the incident, and criticism of Kano erupted, causing a huge uproar.” (Sports newspaper entertainment reporter) ◆Inside story revealed by people involved In the apology Fuwachan issued in August, she said that “the two are not related,” and “News Post Seven” also mentioned this. It is said that Kano’s agency was not aware of the situation and maintained their stance until the end that “Kano is not directly involved in the incident,” which is why the statement included a statement denying any involvement. In response to this report, comments have been raised on social media such as, “If this is true, isn’t it really too much?” and “Is it really okay to just put all the responsibility on Fuwa-chan and leave it at that?” However, a producer at a major station said, “It doesn’t necessarily mean that Kano is the mastermind.” “From what I’ve heard, when Kano discovered Yasuko’s post, she brought it up, but as a ’pretend senior’, it wasn’t like she was asking for an extreme reaction from Fuwa-chan. Kano wasn’t in a leading position as the mastermind, and it was just something he talked about casually among fellow comedians. However, the fact that the result was that the slander was directed at a child who could easily be slandered is in no way excusable. The people involved probably didn’t expect it to develop into such a big issue at the time.”
In an interview with News Post Seven, Kano’s agency acknowledged that Kano was the first person to discover Yasuko’s post and that the content of her comments was correct, but said, “(In interviews conducted by the agency) we have confirmed that Kano did not instruct the posting or encourage it.” He emphasized that he was never in a position to incite trouble. Was Kano really the “mastermind” behind it all? What are your thoughts now after hearing the news? On September 5th, I caught up with Kano after work. ◆ When confronted with a direct question, “She kept smiling until the very end” When our reporter called out to her, Kano responded without any sign of being wary. However, when Fuwa-chan’s name was mentioned, the mood changed completely. –It’s Friday. Regarding the commotion with Fuwa-chan… “(Interrupting) Ah, sorry, I don’t want to talk about that.” After saying this, he went into a nearby building with the woman who was with him. He didn’t respond to reporters’ calls and just got into the elevator. – Just one thing, please. Would you at least accept my business card? “Sorry, (the business card) is fine. Yes, excuse me, I’m sorry.” And then the elevator doors closed. Kano had a smile on his face and seemed embarrassed, but he didn’t give a clear answer to the questions until the end. More in the source.
>>1 Nowadays, you can see a smiling Fuwa-chan on billboards around town, in convenience stores, and everywhere else. I wish the world could continue like this forever. And if I could do the same work there, nothing would make me happier. The other day, we had the opportunity to appear together for the first time in a long while on a lunchtime information program, but during the video, he talked too much and another co-star had to tell him not to talk to each other. If she’s there in the studio, she’ll sit at the back of the classroom. This could cost us both our jobs. But even if I do something wrong and lose my job like I did in the past, I’ll still be able to play endlessly again, so that’s OK; in fact, I’m kind of looking forward to that. “Saiaaaku!” a voice is heard.
Even if he runs away, it will be written in the article anyway, so he’s an idiot. He should have stopped by, taken his business card, and said something like “My agency has told me not to talk about that matter.”
There are people out there who write insults on walls, and compared to them, these people are decent people. I’m sure even people who target other people often make mistakes.
When asked about marriage, he said there was no need to say it with a sour expression He’s probably an edgy character, but it’s very Kano-like to smile when he’s in a tough position He should be edgy in that respect too.
Friday is defending this person. They even went out of their way to interview Kano. But for some reason, the people who were bashing celebrities who are close to Fuwa like crazy are now very quiet. What was that all about?
>>46 If Anmika or Sashihara were to fall from grace, it would free up TV and commercial slots, and their agencies aren’t that strong, so I guess people in the industry and those with vested interests were criticizing them.
