@@Njsjdjdjdj TH-cam is so stupid an strict that if you even mention p*rn in a video, they might demonetize it - which is insane. They have a huge list of words that you can't or shouldn't use cause of TH-cam's very bad content moderation strategies.
This makes it difficult to even begin to discuss serious matters in a video, without the fear of it being demonetized, which then again makes it so the issues at hand often are not even discussed. It's censorship from TH-cam.
If you were expecting to be demonitized, I do think it's a shame that your main story was only covered on a rather superficial level. Reading a little about it in the western media, I was surprised to learn that part of the reason that talents didn't come forward sooner was that Japanese law formally didn't recognise child abuse against boys and currently legislation doesn't seem to apply to individual's that are not the child's parents. I hope that everywhere in the world can take efforts to reduce incidence of such terrible crimes.
At the end of all of this, the late inaction of the new networks were not only ineffective but also actively harmful to the talents, who are the at the disadvantaged position yet again
I wonder what extent the 'splitting it into two companies' is to allow them to focus on compensation, and how much is a dodgy Johnson and Johnson-style move to try and limit the liability to the company. I don't know if this is possible in Japanese law like it apparently is in the States.
Hopefully the careers of most of the talents can recover at other agencies or under the yet to be named new incarnation of the agency, Japan seems to have many people that are devoted fans of their idols. It's been shocking to see tv stations dropping the talents, who haven't done anything wrong, in light of a scandal that tv executives have surely been covering up for decades.
0:45 I wasn't paying attention and misheard that Pete was importing a "Toilet Sentry" and thought he was getting some super high tech bidet delivered. Three months for a toilet? Get someone in Japan to check it over? lol
Yo as a another creator who likes to make ugc ads what a amazing hook at the beginning saying it’s going to get demonetized and probably won’t be on TH-cam for long , I’m immediately hooked good job broski! Been a fan for like a billion years now btw
When I started listening to the podcast I kind of assumed Pete as the co host was just Chris’s old mate, it was an excuse to hang out and have a bit of banter. I really underestimated Pete, he’s articulate, concise, intelligent and insightful. Chris on the other hand is very very affable. Keep it up chaps!
Pete is an former British radio host and probably the reason the podcast came about. They've never really said. Chris used to introduce Pete as "London's top radio DJ" until he quit radio to concentrate on the podcasting. I believe they met at an industry meet-up and Pete was already a fan of the show. Ironically, it was Pete who got Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad fame) to record a "You are listening to Abroad in Japan" voice over a few years ago. Sorry for the information dump. Ignore if your not interested 🙂
Literally watching Miami Vice now on my iptv 24/7 channels. Definitely watch it. So many cameos from actors when they were young, music is the best, acting obviously a little dated but well appreciated!
Got into Johnny’s and Japanese music in 99. The rumors had been there all along. I’m sad to see the era of amazing concerts, shows and fandom end but happy it’s being talked about and dealt with. The company had so much power and ruled the music industry... very scary how much. I'm happy it's being talked about. I’m happy they are doing something and I hope the cancellation part of this (sponsors and things pulling talent) is aimed at the right people. The talents that just want to do their job and have nothing to do with this or are victims themselves shouldn’t be punished.
You’re sad to see the era of powerful music industry people taking advantage of kids? It’s not the end, this is just a small part of a larger systemic problem in the entertainment industry worldwide.
You want a toll road then drive the Kansas turnpike, I used to have to hit it once a year and I dont miss it one bit. If you do take the turnpike try to stay in Salina at the holiday inn, it's the nicest building in the state😅😂
Dear clever Chris and perceptive Pete, I dedicate the third comment of today's incredibly insightful episode to all the bears in this world. Thank you, Sayantan.
It's kind of shocking hearing about Johnny's because I remember in the 00s hearing rumors about horrible stuff happening to the female stars, not the male stars. They really were all over though, especially the boybands and the girl bands. I can see why it took a foreign news company, who probably didn't care about access, to report on this. It's just really too bad, too sad because this type of fear of reporting is happening all over in mainstream media these days, not just Japan. (I remember years ago being surprised to see that stuff has an influence on the BBC as well, when I was a kid, I remember BBC having some of the best reputation in media, now I feel like they are just as vulnerable as America's PBS)
I really love how Pete went straight in like "fuck TH-cam if they demonetize us". George Carlin made a really big point of how every generation we make softer and softer language. It feels that way with things like r*pe and assault. Sugar coating stuff like this does "dull the knife" so to speak. I feel like people who talk about these things owe it to the victims to not sugar coat it. These creeps deserve to be shown as the trash they are.
On the Toyota who is going to work on it when it breaks? Where will you get parts? Will this be your only car? Most people who have imported jdm cars that never sold in their country basically drive it little and when things break they spend months waiting for basic parts.
27:16 If I had a nickel for every time a british TH-camr living in Japan said that he worked for the BBC, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right? 😂 (though to be fair, the other onehas _actually_ worked for the BBC and didn't lie xD)
To be fair, the OTHER one hasn't actually worked for the BBC, either. He worked for a small company that was contracted to do work by the BBC, so they had an office in television central. By Garnt's own admission on one of the Trash Taste shows, he shortens it to "I've worked for the the BBC" because it is easier but inaccurate. "I've never actually received a paycheck from the British Broadcasting Corporation."
OMG, I KNEW IT!!!! I f-ing knew Higashiyama was just like Johnny. Maybe not holding as much power, but damn, I knew the guy was off. People kept telling me I'm weird when I said he's creeping me out. I know, for now it's just an investigation. I will keep watching this unfold closely and I bet that my gut feeling is right. So, now that this is out of the way, I'm sorry if this gets long and won't make a lot of sense, this is the only channel covering this story that I can understand, so I will ramble right here in the comment section. Please, feel free to ignore me, I just need to get a thing or two off my chest. I feel extremely sorry for all the talents who are now facing new hardships. I wish all of them nothing but the best and I hope they can pick up their activities. Especially among the older talents there are many who didn't get a very good education. The agency did not support school education, restricted it even, making the young men choose between a career and higher education - until Sakurai Sho, who successfully stood up against the stupid policy and got a degree. Once the spell was broken many followed in his footsteps, but prior to that there weren't any such options. And a good number of these people are producers, artists, authors these days, among others things. Stage plays, single releases, music videos, books... entire solo career projects.Their work is existential to these talents. My heart truly breaks for them, especially since I've followed a number of them for over 15 years now. KinKi Kids, Kanjani8, Arashi... They have all brought a lot of joy into my life and the least they should be getting for all their hard work is the security of staying in business. I was pretty surprised when this story suddenly exploded. Reports of alleged abuse have been surfacing for decades. I have to admit, though, that most of that was "old news" about things that allegedly happened many many years ago. It was a big shock to me when one former but still pretty young member of the agency mentioned in an interview with "arama they didn't" that he knew about practices of sexual services being "offered" by the talents for job opportunities. (Unfortunately the interview cannot be viewed anymore in its original form. Two days after the release, certain parts were removed.) I had truly deluded myself into thinking that the abuse was a thing of the past. That interview absolutely rattled my image of the agency. Maybe that's what made this report already different from the rest. But Johnny had already passed away and so I decided that it was best to let the past rest... There were visible changes going on, after all. So I really hoped that things would be looking up and change for the better. Then came the day on which Takizawa, still pretty newly appointed vice president, announced that he was leaving the agency. That was the day something very fundamentally changed. Takizawa took off and he has since started a rival agency. He has already signed contracts with a good number of former members of Johnny's agency. So, I will now also be looking very closely at him and what he will be doing. Who knows, maybe this is his revenge for all the terrible things that happened. He got himself high up there, only to abuse the power that he gained to get people out (those contracts are no joke) and offer them a better option. When there was a recent report on how more people came forward with new allegations, I was truly shocked. It showed once again how systemically and how recently abuse happened inside the agency and it really broke my heart. All of that being said, Johnny's idols were a big part of my world as I grew into an adult. Via their influence I started to really get into Japanese culture and language. I've visited Japan five times thus far and hope to return again. I even visited idol concerts while I was there. I bought the merch and the shop photos. Looking back, it was a very unique experience. And I will always and forever support KinKi Kids. I still buy their concert releases to this day, because they're awesome. Okay, that's everything for now, I think. I apologise again for the big chaotic mess this must be. Just loads of thoughts needing to be put out there in the middle of the night.
I agree with Pete....youtube is RIDICULOUS with some of their 'rules'...not really sure who they they they are 'protecting, but it seems wrong on every single level.
Johnny's entertainment was rotten to the core and deserves to be broken apart. But there influence on the industry was and is huge, not just the boy band music scene, their current and past members star in dramas, movies, commercials, appear in and host variety shows, they are literally everywhere. I would hope this would open the door for more talented performers in Japan to fill the gap, but I wouldn't count on it.
Pete: I won't say what I noticed in your voice, nor will I say what I see in your face when you talk about that Johnny asshole, because that's not my story to tell. What I will instead say is that I See You, and that what happened to you is not your fault. You are no less of a person, no less of a man, and you deserve to be heard when you choose to speak on such things, and you deserve justice.
The fact you think the century is a taxi is a bit sad, aren'y toyota crowns usually used for taxis and the toyota century is their most luxurious car, handmade and reserved typically for people like CEO's, VIP's and aristocrats? I guess in a way it is sort of a taxi in that sense as they probably arent the one driving BUT its not a taxi in the sense you keep saying it is.
The reason why TH-cam don't want you speaking about such things is because the majority of TH-camrs are woefully ignorant about anything outside of their tiny bubbles so they risk being sued, this also opens up TH-cam to being sued. I'm fairly certain that their advertisers don't really want their names associated with negative topics either. It's an understandable standpoint. The one thing that needs fixing with TH-cam is the copyright nonsense if you're recording in a public space and audio has to be stripped because there's ambient music in the background. TH-cam should be fighting in the courts for its creators that this falls under fair use provided it's not the main focus of the audio interest in the scene. But yeah, serious topics such as this that creators have zero expertise of should probably be avoided.
@@23Lgirl nahhhh they're still here and well manage group, I even read and watch a Japanese articles and videos about the yakuzas situation in Japan now and they're billionaires$. They owned basically the Japan porn industry, the night clubs, the love hotels and gambling etc basically every sin businesses..... they are dangerous cuz they have many connections in Japan and if fuck with them you will be missing and will not be found. I mean every year hundreds of thousands are missing in Japan and probably one of those are victim of yakuzas.
It doesn't happen often, but it's very obvious in today's episode , but Pete has this tendency to drone on and on. I get that the topic is heavy, but I feel that it's because it's such a depressing topic that Pete just goes on in that monotonous voice and constant stammering. It's very grating to the ears.
I wish Pete hadn't ground everything to a halt by making speeches. We already know that kiddy-fiddling is bad. Why do people feel the need to make long rambling statements when something bad happens? Maybe a hangover from his radio days...
Ya :/ He did kind of drone on a bit too long didn’t he, lol. Especially when you combine that with him already being a wee bit difficult for the average listener/watcher to understand, it can get a tad grating to say the least. I listened to this episode via podcast audio format initially, but I strictly came right to the video to see if I could catch Chris making any faces; because in the podcast you can literally hear every time he inhales or tries to interject Pete to snip his droning/stammering in the bud, lmao. Pete meant well I know; and we all do it from time to time; but ya, let’s try and limit those a bit if we can shall we, lol.
Love you guys and I don't want to comment anything negative but must say to Pete, maybe slow down when you speak and leave gaps for Chris to interject and converse as it almost seems like a rant on your behalf. This is rarely the case but may pay to recognise it when it happens. Love you both, just trying to offer some constructive criticism...Love this podcast and wish you both all the best x.

Guys: I truly appreciate your candor and reliability to not sugarcoat such a horrific story. Good on you for taking the risk of being de-mono'd.
What kinds of things demonetized videos?

Fair play to Pete for calling out the YT overlords and covering the story properly
Yeah it's disgusting how TH-cam has been covering for chomos the past few years, really makes you wonder about the people in charge...
"Importing a Toyota Century" threatens to be the best Pete arc of the series thus far
I want Pete to go full JDM and get something hilarious like a Toyota Sera or a Nissan S-Cargo.

The victims are getting victimised again by their livelihoods being taken away by scrambling executives.
0:03 ... except the notification gang :D We're always here, pretty much regardless of how angry TH-cam is at you for your conversation topics xD

Why have I only just found out Chris does a podcast, right time to watch the rest now lol.
My sons friend just returned from Japan, where he tried eel. And found out he was dreadfully allergic...😶
Man, it had to be the eel! One of most delicious of Japanese dishes. Truly Unfortunate.
I don't know how Johnny's Entertainment lasted as long as it did. As far back as early 2000's there are already rumors of Kitagawa's deeds.
Listened to it on spotify but just leaving a thumbs-up here too

When I visited Yokohama China Town, the giant fried chicken was everywhere there as well.....
Mvice is a bad ass cool show. Deep dive it. Worth it. 👍

I listened to this episode via podcast audio format initially, but I strictly came right to the video to see if I could catch Chris making any faces; because in the podcast you can literally hear every time he inhales or tries to interject Pete to snip his droning/stammering in the bud, lmao.
Pete meant well I know; and we all do it from time to time; but ya, let’s try and limit those a bit if we can shall we, lol.
Love you guys and I don't want to comment anything negative but must say to Pete, maybe slow down when you speak and leave gaps for Chris to interject and converse as it almost seems like a rant on your behalf. This is rarely the case but may pay to recognise it when it happens. Love you both, just trying to offer some constructive criticism...Love this podcast and wish you both all the best x.
