The “Fuwa-chan scandal” has damaged YouTubers’ image．．． There are moves to exclude them from the TV industry “There have been concerns about them being cast on TV shows for some time．”

Fuwachan has been subjected to severe criticism over her inappropriate posts about Yasuko. Although he announced that he was taking a break from show business, the controversy has not subsided, and the issue has now spread to celebrities with whom he is close friends, such as Rino Sashihara and Hiroiki Ariyoshi. “Fuwachan’s return this year is hopeless. It seems that he has been listed as a talent who should be handled with caution by various television stations, so it will be difficult to cast him in a new program. In the worst case scenario, you may never be able to appear on television or radio again. She is likely to lose all the work she has built up thus far, but the TV industry, which has celebrated Fuwa-chan as a representative of the youth, seems to have decided to cut her off.” (Commercial TV source)

Amidst all this, gal talents are showing signs of being reevaluated. In fact, the television industry is planning to review how it handles YouTubers and influencers who are popular on social media. Fuwa-chan has caused trouble for her fellow entertainers. Although she is highly valued in variety and information programs, her image has been tarnished by the Fuwa-chan scandal. It is rumored that program producers will increasingly refrain from hiring such people in the future. Instead, it seems that gal talents are likely to appear on television more frequently than before. “Gyaru talents, such as Michopa and Yuchami, live in a hierarchical society, and because there is a hierarchical relationship, they are polite. They are easy to hire for programs, and young talent is also growing, such as Miricham who appears in morning dramas. Even if YouTubers and influencers are part of an agency, they may not be able to manage their social media accounts, and there have been concerns about them being cast on TV shows for some time. If you’re going to have a young person appear on the show as a representative, it’s only natural that a gyaru talent would be considered a safe bet.” (ibid.) It looks like Fuwachan will end up causing a lot of trouble not only for her close friends like Sashihara, but also for her fellow industry professionals.
