2Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:21:00.84 ID: ID:Y8jRwglI0

They just went back to being a bottom-tier gossip rag, that’s all.

3Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:21:44.30 ID: ID:rXgPvLpq0

It’s tough because they kept taking L’s on a medium where trust is everything…

4Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:22:02.39 ID: ID:ALtM4vWB0

Just the passage of time, I guess.

5Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:22:45.22 ID: ID:tZSjU9zm0

Are they even making money?

6Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:23:18.00 ID: ID:VD6nFAb50

Even the Matsumoto piece was terrible in its final stages.

7Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:23:25.55 ID: ID:W35OHu3p0

Well, that’s just how it is.

9Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:26:49.02 ID: ID:F1CcgSVO0

If you spend all your time trying to ruin people, you’re bound to be hated.

10Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:29:24.83 ID: ID:mpDfm+3a0

The people working inside must be inhumane.

11Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:30:37.84 ID: ID:xJqya5bj0

It means there’s no weekly magazine that can stay on the front lines forever.

12Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:34:07.12 ID: ID:yHVqwQn/0

The spell just broke and they’re back to reality.

13Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:34:19.58 ID: ID:8AIggZTt0

Well, it must be tough to constantly provide new scoops.

14Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:39:20.34 ID: ID:v7cwA8nH0

It’s difficult.

15Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:40:30.06 ID: ID:u+Qi8MuI0

So, where is that slander video that Takachi allegedly ordered to be made?

18Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:43:16.55 ID: ID:EuEtbyHc0

>>15
Seems like they’re still investigating it.

16Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:42:17.67 ID: ID:RJWStqW70

Even if you ask me if I believe it, I can’t answer.

17Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:42:49.16 ID: ID:OVMaxR1D0

What will become of Jiro Sato’s acting career, now that reasonable people see him as a sleazy guy who commits sexual and power harassment, and he’s gained a creepy fan base of right-wing extremists?

21Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:55:33.70 ID: ID:VTxvPIX70

>>17
If drug addicts and hit-and-run drivers can still be actors, he’ll be fine as long as there’s demand.

19Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:45:44.56 ID: ID:0iXF8RNK0

From the perspective of the DS, they can crush them anytime.

20Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 04:54:32.92 ID: ID:ZMwgfEd70

But in the end, the screenwriter endorsed it, saying it was 99% true.

22Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:07:18.19 ID: ID:OedZRrZv0

It’s been nothing but lies since halfway through.

23Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:17:20.24 ID: ID:EYYlbmQj0

When you’re attacking Sato while asking “Whatever happened to the Takachi video?”, well, that’s what happens.

24Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:18:23.78 ID: ID:0iXF8RNK0

Sato wasn’t exactly the type to be a lead actor to begin with.

25Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:26:09.94 ID: ID:eUVFZeeo0

What exactly are you believing about Jiro Sato?

27Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:37:50.02 ID: ID:XEsO/Q170

>>25
I’d ask the opposite, what is your basis for believing some nameless woman?

29Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:43:28.39 ID: ID:eUVFZeeo0

>>27
I think the harassment determination by Fuji’s external lawyers is more reliable than the mysterious “expert” verdict claimed by Jiro Sato’s agency.

34Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:56:27.81 ID: ID:NZjwsiJM0

>>29
A company’s harassment determination is just their internal judgment, not a socially recognized fact.
That’s why it often happens that others judge it as not being harassment, leading to consultations with labor bureaus or court battles.

35Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:58:28.34 ID: ID:eUVFZeeo0

>>34
I said “external” lawyers, what do you mean by “company judgment”??
These are lawyers not hired by Fuji.

36Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:59:10.04 ID: ID:EYYlbmQj0

>>35
Patriot Sato was set up!
It’s a conspiracy by feminists!
Just say that and they’ll be happy.

40Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:07:17.69 ID: ID:NZjwsiJM0

>>35
It depends on what kind of lawyer Fuji decides to hire.
You know what the result will be if they hire a lawyer who is strict about protecting women’s human rights, right?

41Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:11:11.87 ID: ID:eUVFZeeo0

>>40
If you consider all that, there’s no end to it, but it’s still more credible than the “expert” that Sato’s office talks about.
People like Ryu Nitta, who you don’t even know, also call themselves harassment experts.

44Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:14:06.15 ID: ID:NZjwsiJM0

>>41
Furthermore, it’s not like there was only one lawyer.
They might have hired several and adopted the opinion closest to Fuji’s intentions.

28Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:43:13.68 ID: ID:cuYgCwmY0

I can’t side with Jiro Sato on this one, so feel free to destroy each other as much as you want.

30Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:46:16.80 ID: ID:6lTD+DJw0

Actually, I don’t know any celebrity who loses to Bunshun.
Anyone could win against them.

31Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:48:31.62 ID: ID:8OuWTKrF0

We den-G users are so pure that we believe in modern times, even when the source is TikTok, so why…

32Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:50:13.49 ID: ID:9pTeeZa+0

Bunshun’s golden age was surely the “Sentence Spring” of Becky…

33Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 05:54:51.73 ID: ID:PaPuzmcY0

Just a right-wing bot account.
It’s completely biased.

39Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:05:15.75 ID: ID:hvt02orSd

I think this result is biased too, though.

43Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:12:40.65 ID: ID:GaXD+V2m0

They clearly got too full of themselves.
Their credibility has become questionable.

46Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:24:35.04 ID: ID:EG1tYOBB0

In short, the Burning-affiliated talent agency manipulated public opinion to cover up Sato’s sexual/power harassment, right?

It’s hilarious that idiots who usually complain about “Old Media” were completely deceived.

47Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:27:02.80 ID: ID:ObO/gMK+0

Sales have plummeted anyway.

48Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:27:52.05 ID: ID:6JUc7v8C0

The top management and their policies must have changed.
The most capable people are being driven away from the front lines 😗

49Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:28:25.44 ID: ID:00rHP14H0

>>1
What on earth do they even believe about Jiro Sato?

52Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:35:57.66 ID: ID:6am6Gtvm0

Isn’t their reliability even lower than Tokyo Sports?
The only thing accurate is the date.

61Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:50:22.13 ID: ID:6Wbkzswb0

>>52
Tokyo Sports is surprisingly sincere in their reporting on things that affect people’s lives, other than stuff like discovering a kappa.

70Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:59:38.85 ID: ID:6am6Gtvm0

>>61
Because they basically make you laugh.
Weekly magazines are not funny.
They’re no laughing matter.

53Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:39:42.99 ID: ID:qMsae7ac0

Isn’t it since they reported on Takachi’s scandal?

54Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:42:54.43 ID: ID:ZW2v9A/U0

It’s fine not to trust them.
It’s just weird that the Takachi-Sato duo hasn’t sued them, that’s all.

55Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:43:20.74 ID: ID:YTDDHkhL0

Is this even something that warrants this much attention?

59Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:49:58.44 ID: ID:ZW2v9A/U0

It’s amazing how a conspiracy theory has been created among middle-aged guys that “They must have called in non-neutral external lawyers!”

60Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:50:17.87 ID: ID:FcwwxpKq0

Den-G users who were using Bunshun as a source to bash everyone look like such idiots…

62Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:52:35.55 ID: ID:ZW2v9A/U0

They probably want to create an atmosphere where “Nobody believes Bunshun anyway!”
Looks like tokens and other nonsense will appear again.

67Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:58:08.59 ID: ID:GPLxTXmg0

Maybe they realized it’s dangerous to end someone’s life through social sanctions without going to court.

68Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:58:59.98 ID: ID:fuNS5ghv0

They could have moved away from crappy gossip that’s like “We’ll turn anything into an article if you pay us,” but they went right back to their old ways.

69Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 06:59:27.21 ID: ID:0CAxIgnF0

Bunshun is Tokyo Sports without the occult, Chunichi news, and pro-wrestling articles.

90Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:14:55.67 ID: ID:vEsg8mpf00707

>>69
At least the erotic stuff is still the same, thank goodness.

73Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:01:23.38 ID: ID:I7WrOTZL00707

When that boy went missing in Kyoto, they had a nonsensical article too.

83Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:10:23.88 ID: ID:4c+IJKmx00707

They probably don’t even feel like they’re putting themselves in danger with their reporting anymore.

84Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:11:46.17 ID: ID:YYyNaXHk00707

It’s gotta be FLASH after all.

92Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:16:10.21 ID: ID:ObO/gMK+00707

I think this is the end for Bunshun and Fuji, honestly.

93Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:18:13.46 ID: ID:wN1TrFrc00707

Maybe they got infiltrated by strange forces after being hyped up by netizens for a while.
It’s a convenient medium where it’s acceptable to talk trash about people.

94Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:18:31.35 ID: ID:bn730iBB00707

Has the “Ordinary Japanese” crowd finally reached the point of destroying media just to protect politicians?

97Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:23:40.16 ID: ID:ikJFgxEN00707

>>94
What do you think about the opposition parties that have started shouting, using photo gossip magazines as sources just to ruin politicians?

98Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:24:11.05 ID: ID:bn730iBB00707

>>97
If it’s a lie, just sue them.

95Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:20:28.22 ID: ID:h3MN74F100707

How did Bunshun even end up in a position of being a “reliable magazine”?
I first realized they were sleazy around the time of the Becky article.

96Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/07/07(火) 07:21:32.03 ID: ID:bn730iBB00707

Your perception is off just by thinking that Bunshun was considered reliable in the first place.
