Kaminuma Emiko bluntly states Matsumoto Hitoshi’s comment, “I’m not apologizing,” and “I’ll return after following the proper procedures.” Talent Kaminuma Emiko appeared on Yomiuri TV’s “Kaminuma and Takada’s Kugizuke!” broadcast on the 17th. They strongly urged Downtown’s Matsumoto Hitoshi, who withdrew his lawsuit seeking damages from Bungeishunju and others, to hold a press conference. Regarding Matsumoto’s comment released on the 8th, which stated, “I would like to sincerely apologize to any women who have been offended or hurt,” Kaminuma said, “They’re just twisting things around. You haven’t apologized, have you? That’s kind of what I feel. Even someone like me feels uncomfortable,” he said bluntly. Regarding the future, he said, “The question now is how to return to terrestrial TV, or if he will make a comeback. The fans are waiting. Well, I’m sure there are some people who can’t laugh at that. I really love Matsumoto-san. Big Downtown fan. Even when I said I was going to take time off work, I was like, ‘Why don’t you hold a press conference?'” he pointed out. She also recalled that when she had a one-on-one talk with Matsumoto on “Kaiketsu Emi Channel,” he told her, “If anything scandalous or happens that will cause a stir in society, then please go on TV and say shit about it.” “At the time, I thought that although I thought his manzai was cool and I liked him, he was also a person with a dignified and positive attitude. I think this is exactly where Matsumoto is right now,” he pointed out. The reason he insists on holding press conferences is, “Even when you say ‘I’m taking a break,’ your biggest fans still believe in you and are waiting to see your comedy. “You just left those people alone and took a break, right? This time, when I said ‘I’m returning to terrestrial TV,’ I wanted you to talk about what happened in real life, not through a lawyer or in writing,” he explained. At a press conference he said, “I understand that it’s unpleasant to have so many unpleasant things said to you,” but added, “But I think that’s Matsumoto Hitoshi’s mission. It’s almost like fate. It’s a kind of mission, having such a huge fan base. I felt like I had to accomplish this,” she said. There are already mixed opinions about Matsumoto’s return, with one commenter saying, “People are saying things like ‘retire’ or ‘it would be better if he quit’ online, but it would be a shame. This is such a waste. “She’s still young and I’m sure there are many things she wants to do,” he said, adding, “I feel like there will have to be some kind of procedure for her return, whether it’ll be a press conference or a YouTube video.” He continued, “The most important thing is the fans. They left their fans in the cold. Everyone is rooting for you. Everyone is waiting for you to come back again. I asked you to comment on it in your own voice. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I’d say, ‘This is what I’m like, and I’m angry. “You can just say something like, ‘I was angry so I said 550 million…'” he said. She continued, “Mr Matsumoto can’t retire, and I can’t retire either, but I’d like to work with him again, I’d like to work on a TV show together. He’s a man with strong beliefs. What happened this time? Like that. “I think if I’m going to be able to return to television, I’ll take the necessary steps,” he said, expressing his hopes for her return.
