A E! group member Richard Keita Kusama’s arrest for public indecency. At the time of the first news, the charge was surrounded by sensationalism due to its nature. ⇒[ Photo] He played bass at SUMMER SONIC 2025. However, afterwards, it was revealed that it did not appear to be a sexual assault or any other incident, and that the video leaked on the Internet of a person believed to be him on the day of his arrest (he does not appear to have been trying to expose himself and show it off, but rather appears to be having trouble finding clothing), and that the situation and video were captured, which led some to believe that it was a set-up . The way in which the video was received gradually changed due to the fact that it could also be seen as a set-up. Then, when he was released on October 6, the media reported his deep bowed head and tearful apology in front of flashes of the press, and many voices of sympathy and defense were raised.
Even if you are not a fan, you “know something about him
What I felt during the past few days was that Kusama was “loved” by the so-called general public as well. Perhaps, for those who are not fans, Richard Keita Kusama is someone they “know” as an individual, even if they do not know the name of the group to which he belongs. As for that “something I know,” I can tell you that Kusama has been a member of the group since he was a member of Kansai Johnny’s Jr. (now Junior) before the group made its debut! DASH! (Nippon Television Network), which Kusama has appeared in since he was a member of Kansai Johnny’s Jr. DASH!” (Nippon Television). The high recognition of this program has helped the A! DASH!” (Nippon Television Network Corporation), in which Richard appeared as a member of the group. In the midst of a competitive group of boy groups, individual recognition is an extremely powerful weapon. Its contribution is immeasurable. Because there are so many people who “know something about this group,” the arrest of Richard may have had a wide impact on the general public. This is a bit of a digression, but the high publicity of the program has also helped, and it is probably inevitable that Kusama’s arrest has led to the many troubles of the program’s performers being teased on SNS and other social networking sites.
He has remained a lovable character.
Perhaps I don’t need to explain, but Kusama is half American and half Japanese. Her dance skills and sense of rhythm are well known even before her debut, and she plays the saxophone in the group’s band performances and is also well known for her singing ability. On the other hand, Kusama’s character is also one of her weapons, as she has a certain air of innocence about her. Despite her good looks, Kusama speaks in a slightly “soft” Kansai dialect from her upbringing in Kyoto, and she does not speak English. When asked what his favorite food is, he answers “senmaizuke” and gets a laugh (although it may be a real favorite of his own). He is a natural, but his sense of comedy is first-rate. He used to be a comedian with Joichiro Fujiwara (now Naniwa Boys) and actor Ryuta Muro as a comic trio called “YOU Tachi,” in which he and Fujiwara were in charge of comedy. The high level of their comedy was even highly praised by professional comedians. In “DASH! Kusama has been regarded as a “nice guy” because of these attributes, including his position as a slightly natural but hard-working junior comedian in “DASH! He is loved to a certain extent. I don’t think he has many so-called “antagonists.
