Citing multiple compliance violations, “The! DASH! (Nippon Television Network Corporation), citing multiple compliance violations. About five months after announcing his indefinite hiatus, the winds are changing after the emergency press conference he held on November 26. On June 20 of this year, NTV held a press conference and announced that Mr. Kokubu, who had appeared regularly on “Tetsuwan DASH” for 30 years, would be leaving the show . At the press conference, it was explained that there had been “multiple compliance violations in the past,” but the station did not disclose the details of the problematic acts, citing privacy protection reasons. At the October 23 press conference, lawyer Masaru Komoda, representing Ms. Kokubu, announced that he had filed a human rights complaint with the Japan Federation of Bar Associations, claiming that the station’s handling of the case was flawed. Since Mr. Kokubu was not informed of the basis for the disciplinary action by the station, he was unable to explain it to all parties concerned, which resulted in his being dropped from programs on other stations, contract termination from companies with which he had advertising contracts, and other significant repercussions. At the press conference on November 26, Kokubu repeatedly insisted that he and Nittele had “not been able to reach an agreement” regarding his problematic behavior. On the other hand, the “method of interview” by Nittele, which Kokubu revealed, also caused a stir. According to Kokubu, he was summoned to the station on the pretext of greeting the new production director and producer, and was suddenly interviewed about compliance violations in the presence of a lawyer. At that time, Mr. Kokubu turned on the recording function on his phone, but his lawyer found out and asked him to delete it. Nittele’s side stated, ‘The new staff member came to our office as a greeting from his new position, and after the greeting, the employee in charge and the lawyer explained the purpose and objectives of the meeting, and after receiving Mr. Kokubu’s approval, the hearing was held,’ but Mr. Kokubu was told by the executive officer on the spot that he had to step down from the position. At the press conference, he also expressed his feelings of upset, and the public is increasingly criticizing Nittele’s approach as “lacking in fairness. Hirofumi Suga (49) of the comedy duo Rosan, on the duo’s YouTube channel updated on November 29, prefaced his comments with the following: “In my 30 years of experience in this world, I have some doubts. I’ve been in this business for about 30 years,” he said. He continued, “I am from the Kansai region, so I am not a member. He continued, “I’m in Kansai, so that doesn’t happen to me in Kansai.” “Sometimes I’m in the dressing room and they come to greet me,” he said, adding that he had never experienced “going to a station and being greeted by the head of the programming department or a producer when they change. When asked about cases like Kokubu’s, he replied, “Is there such a thing in Tokyo? His partner, Fuminori Ujihara (49), replied, “I don’t know. Suga replied, “Because (Kokubu) is a contractor. Ujihara agreed, saying, “Even if it is customary, I feel a little uncomfortable about it. Suga added, “Basically, I don’t personally contact (station employees),” and wondered, “Is it possible for Yoshimoto to contact me and say, ‘Mr. Rosan, I’m going to replace a high official, so could you please come and say hello to him? He then added, “I would never do that. He added, “I don’t think so.” “Even from Yoshimoto’s point of view, they might say, ‘What? What do you mean? I don’t think so. They would say, “We have a recording of something, so could you please come then? They would just say, ‘When and what is the recording, can you come then?
