RIP Nashimoto Masaru

Nashimoto Masaru, 65, died on Saturday. He was one of the few really courageous reporters, never been afraid of the big companies, especially those entertainment Jimushus like JE. He's also the one, who reported about Kitagawa Johnny's molesting his employers (Johnny's Jr.) and was featured in New York times back then...

At such a young age. That is not even ten years older than my parents. . .

I do not know what truth lies in the molesting stories, but you've got to look up to people who don't fearing sticking out from the mass to speak some unwanted truth. Darn impressive and admirable.

hm, I agree

those stories are likely to be true, it's widely known (I've even got some japanese friends here in Berlin who know about it and don't like JE and Johnny's because of that) and they got a bunch of victims from former JE Jr.'s
it's kinda strange that nothing happened...but JE is really powerful in entertainment and media
