Kazu Laser (41) of the comedy duo Maple Chogokin appeared as a special anchor on Fuji Television’s information program “Sun! Shine” (Monday-Friday, 8:14 a.m.). He mentioned that a series of Japanese performances in China have been canceled. I’m from my gal days,” a poster from her Popteen days hung at her grandmother’s house, and “I thought it was Ayu! On November 29, former member of “SUPER☆GiRLS,” actress and voice actress Ami Maejima (28 ) announced on her official website that she would cancel her fan meeting scheduled for December 20 in Shanghai. On the same day, singer Maki Ootsuki (52), known for the theme song of the “One Piece” anime series, “stopped singing” during an event in Shanghai, an unusual situation. As the Chinese government has been increasingly opposed to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s comments regarding the Taiwan emergency, there has been a series of cancellations of Japanese entertainment-related events in China, and the impact has been spreading. On the same day, on her Instagram page, Ayumi Hamasaki announced the cancellation of her Shanghai concert scheduled to be held on the 29th of this month. She apologized, expressing her grief, “I still can’t believe that I have to just dismantle this stage without having the chance to meet and apologize in person to the ‾14,000 TAs who had gathered from all over China and Japan as well as various other countries, and I can’t express my grief. Kazu Laser said, “This means that Japanese people are being attacked, so this may not be an area of interest for the Chinese people as a whole. There may be people on the right side who see Chinese culture as being protected, so it may not have the same impact on them as it does on us,” he said. If you think about China as a whole, Japanese entertainment is popular, but the pie is still small, so in the end, the damage to the Japanese side will be greater, because we will be shocked in this way.
