Pardon my bluntness… …it’s Takeshi’s loving Castle, how much language do you need? It’s not exactly a costume drama here, it’s not even the No-Laughing Gakki no Tsukai NYE specials where it adds context, people are trying to finish an obstacle course and fail to do so in hilarious fashion.

Takishis Castle is on prime now. It's a pretty good series and hits the spot with a whole array of minor celebrities eating poo poo on the universally impossible contraptions they built.

I saw a promo clip and who was featured as a boss celebrity for the show, and winced when Ichikawa Ennosuke came up  Since, you know, he’s in a wee bit of trouble at the moment

There are some rumors going around right now about Matsumoto being a forceful sex creep  There's an article online about it (in Japanese) but someone on reddit summarized a translation: (Potential trigger warning) quote:From the rough Google Translation of this article: I loving hope it's not true but that's an awful lot of detailed info.

Really excited to read the 7 page expose and see how they report on this kind of thing. I wonder if this means he will retire.

That's really crap and I hope it's not true, but given everything else we know about the entertainment industry the world over, I'm not particularly confident.harperdc posted:I wouldn't be surprised if this sticks that he might have to.

Hedgehog Pie posted:Is this about Japanese TV phasing out their somewhat sadistic brand of humour? Nah, just generational change. The Downtown guys helped spark the ‘manzai boom’ and that was in the 1980s, there’s an entire era and cohort of comedians from that period who have been on TV and moving up the ranks since the mid-80s or 1990s. So that’s…30 years. There are a few shows that feature younger comedy duos/groups, especially in the so-called ‘seventh generation.’ Think EXIT or Shimofuri Myojo (Soshina and Seiya). There are also slightly older acts much more centered too (Chocolate Planet, Chidori, Kamaitachi…). So yeah. Just eras waxing and waning. If this scandal with Matsumoto sticks (saw it briefly mentioned on the evening news but was dealing with a toddler so wasn’t listening closely) then it could accelerate a giant out.

I don't even think mastumoto plays a strong role he just kind of sits there and shouts but the show itself is one of the funner comedy programs

News: Matsumoto Hitoshi is ‘suspending’ his career due to the sexual assault allegations. He’s also looking to fight the Shukan Bunshun story in court - “If I engage in a trial, I will no longer be able to devote myself to my job as a comedian,” Yoshimoto Kogyo quoted Matsumoto as saying (from that article).quote:Yoshimoto Kogyo has denied the allegations, suggesting legal action will be taken against the publisher. This was all over the news tonight and also included man-on-the-street interviews. I guess we’ll see. —- In less funny anecdotal news - a side effect of the earthquake and tsunami threat on New Year’s Day in Ishikawa is that the broadcasters cut into shows planned for a large at-home audience on that New Year’s Day, or canceled specials in the evening as live coverage continued. From memory, the live breaking coverage lasted until 8-9 pm or so. I think my wife had to delete three or four shows she had planned to record that evening because they weren’t the original specials.

Matsumoto said he'd be on Wide na Show to talk about the situation or something along those lines, did that happen or has it yet to? But yeah I don't know how to feel about the whole thing, gonna have to wait and see how it shakes out but doesn't sound good. I'm guessing there are a few Wednesday shows they have in pocket they can air but will they if Matsumoto is in them considering his hiatus? Gaki's gonna be weird too.

I read a comment on one of those articles about this being a playbook basically where they go battle this in court until the public forgets about it and then drop the case and move on. So my guess is this is that

So my guess is this is that Thinking about it, it reminds me of the Johnny Kitagawa lawsuit against a magazine in the early 2000s - where he won that they shouldn’t have published the article, but not that it was inaccurate, as a fuzzy memory. But I’m not sure if that works in Japan in TYOOL 2024.

Current situation (from Reddit): quote:- Gaki no Tsukai will continue to record new episodes without Matsumoto. January 14 and 21 episodes that have Matsumoto in them will air as normal: https://news.livedoor.com/topics/detail/25675065/ poo poo's not looking good. More here.

So the current situation seems to be that Matsumoto is going on hiatus and suing the magazine that first reported all this stuff. Yoshimoto seems to now stepping back from Matsumoto's side with some general "sexual harassment is a bad thing" stuff while neither condemning nor defending Matsumoto. Also another magazine is reporting on this stuff with their own sources and some more women have come forward talking about forceful and coercive encounters with Matsumoto in these drinking parties. So Matsumoto won't be on any shows like Wednesday Downtown and Gaki no Tsukai for the foreseeable future. Supposedly Hamada was going to address the whole scandal on Downtown DX but ultimately didn't. We'll have to see if they just act like nothing's going on when the next Gaki ep airs. Gonna be awkward, I'd imagine.
