While watching a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMufJwHQ76o), I began to feel a certain suspicion. It seems as if people in this industry frame others as sex offenders, have the police chase them down and destroy them, while presenting themselves as “good fathers” who engage in sacred acts. The entire industry appears to work together to conceal things. Even if people overseas were secretly watching or listening to this information, they would probably pretend not to know anything about this topic. They might send out superficial coded messages, but in reality do nothing, and continue living while harassing others. Searching “YouTube Arashi Makino Aya” barely brings up anything. It feels like an even more severe concealment system than that of Prime Minister Netanyahu. Online, too, there seem to be industry operatives hiding information. Since English subtitles cannot be used, perhaps foreign media are also involved in the concealment. It’s so blatant that it becomes almost laughable—more like a bitter laugh. AI responses say things like: “Information about former talent Aya Makino is not officially discussed or verified on YouTube or other platforms. Most videos are based on old gossip from before her death in 2010 and lack credible evidence.” They also point to official Arashi channels and warn that rumors lack verification. Yet for some reason, only three specific videos appear at the top of YouTube search results. When I watch the first and second videos, I notice that the option for English subtitles disappears. English subtitles cannot be selected. Then I realized something: in the photo where Aya appears, Sho Sakurai is standing next to her. Why would he take a photo with someone he supposedly disliked? On TV, Sakurai sold the image of “disliking women who play around.” When I go directly to YouTube and search “Arashi Makino Aya,” I find several videos that include proper information. But when I play them with English subtitles, the part stating that Johnny’s office blacklisted Makino and prevented her from contacting Arashi does not show English subtitles. If I switch the Japanese audio to English audio, the English voice plays normally—but the subtitles disappear only in that part. Then, when the video moves to a different scene, English subtitles suddenly reappear. No matter how many times I replay it, the same thing happens. Currently, YouTube does not allow AI to obtain auto-generated transcripts. However, Japanese and English subtitles can be accessed programmatically. This suggests that AI systems may be prevented from obtaining any text implying that Johnny’s or Arashi were involved in this incident. Ninomiya Kazunari also says certain things. Asahi Shimbun journalists should know the truth. They must know the real story. After all, Ninomiya worked on the same program as Masahiro Nakai, who was accused of rape. A Fuji TV announcer quit, other announcers knew and were involved in disputes, and Ninomiya’s wife—who has the same name as Aya—is a former announcer whose real name is now hidden in magazines because she is considered a private citizen. It’s not just Ninomiya; the entire industry must have known and concealed the truth. Otherwise, the story doesn’t make sense. Moreover, Ninomiya said in Asahi Shimbun that he wanted Johnny Kitagawa to apologize—after Nakai’s rape allegations became widely known. What kind of nerve does he have? This is not only about Ninomiya or Asahi Shimbun; it’s about the entire Japanese entertainment industry. I’m considering writing an English version for American and British websites. In another YouTube video, the same thing happens: English subtitles disappear in specific scenes. When the scene changes, English subtitles return immediately. It’s an impressive level of concealment. My suspicion might actually be correct. Then, when I searched the same keywords on Bing, I found a video with extremely biased content. Other YouTube videos show similar patterns: negative impressions of the woman are translated into English, while anything involving Arashi or Johnny’s is hidden or presented positively. Scrolling further, I see content clearly praising Arashi, and hints that industry operatives are involved. It feels dehumanizing. This is similar to the structure of organized stalking. I don’t know whether people fall for these traps, but to me, the people involved look frightening. Others might see it differently, but this is how the industry appears to me. It even seems like Aya Makino was trying to reveal what the industry is really like. I’m concerned about Gaza and Israel too, but what will happen to Japan? No one touches this issue. Maybe they fear being killed by Arashi
