No ex-Johnny’s singers cast for NHK year-end show after sex scandal

1. I’m just wondering if people still watch Kohaku though. Are people still interested with it?

   EDIT: not sure why I’m getting downvoted. It’s actually a legit question from me. 🤷🏽‍♂️

2. So basically they are punishing and ostracizing the victims of Kitagawa by not allowing them to enter Kohaku? Or is this somehow a good thing?

   I understand they want to punish Johnny’s Jimusho, but this seems wrong.

3. “Sex scandal”? What a weird way to say he was raping boys.

4. Honestly might not impact Johnnys as much given they still have Johnny’s countdown for the new year. I do wonder if that is still happening though.

5. This was the right call. Anyone know if Fuji TV is going ahead with their Johnnies New Year show? I think they should also cancel that.

6. After being raped by Johnny, they are now done by NHK…

7. Yeah, that’s good news.

8. Damn, I was really hoping they would write a song about how they do not diddle kids

9. We might actually watch some of it this year because of this change & because of Man With a Mission set to perform. Hopefully this is a turning point for a more interesting, less prefabricated show.

   * Snow Man will do some sort of YouTube live stream, for anyone that cares about that.

10. yeah punish the victim too that will solve the problem, these boys just got f***ed twice lol.

11. That is a summum of hypocrisy. They are victims and everyone in NHK knew for years. I am extremely far from that world and I had heard about it a few times much before the BBC show. If they want to witch hunt, I propose concentring on the hundreds of executives and “journalists” that decided to constantly stop the story to come out.

12. And nothing of value was lost.

13. HOW IS JOHNNY’S STILL IN BUSINESS!!!???
