責任取らない公共放送局

  昨日10月26日、亀田興毅選手が謝罪記者会見に出た。11日に行なわれた弟大毅選手が犯した一連の反則行為及び今までの行き過ぎた言動や行為に対して、認め公式に謝罪した。所属するジムの会長も共に頭を下げた。亀田家の行き過ぎは、多くの人が感じていた一方で、それを上回る勢いでプロモーションしたテレビ局は、公共放送として社会的責任が有るにも関わらず、これまで一切の謝罪は無い。

コラム
  11日の世界タイトルマッチの12ラウンド。反則行為を行なったその瞬間、もはやスポーツではなくなった。観ていたボクシングファンを裏切り、対戦相手の内藤選手を侮辱し、そしてボクシングというスポーツを汚した事に間違いは無い。その反則行為を促がした選手の父親と兄は、当然罰せられた。
  しかし、反則行為が行なわれているその最中、それを批判する実況はなされなかった。テレビ局は、亀田家を何ヶ月も前から、バラエティー番組に出演させ、この家族の絆をテーマに散々持ち上げた。いざ、非難されると、舞台裏に隠れて決して矢面には出てこないプロデューサーと広告代理店会社。こういう輩は、道徳観も人生哲学も無い。もちろん、責任を取るなどと言う事は、頭をよぎる事も無い。視聴率、金のためならなんでもやる。何かあれば、非難をあびさせる最前線に20才の亀田興毅を置くだけだ。
今頃、この輩は次の金づるを探している。
  今年、2度放送されたNHKのドラマ“ハゲタカ”は、バブル後の「失われた10年」を総括した唯一の番組だった。政業の癒着さえもきちんと描き、今、日本以外でも評価されている作品となった。このドラマ、視聴率は低かったが、反響は大きかった。つくづく、視聴率の高さと番組の質とは関係の無い事が証明されている。良い作品は、見る人の心に深く刻まれるものだ。(ドラマ“ハゲタカ”のホームページ下記)

- The Public Service Broadcasting That Doesn't Take Responsibilities -


  Yesterday on October 26 Boxer Kouki Kameda appeared in the press conference held by the gym in which he belonged to apologize. On 11 his younger brother, Daiki Kameda fought for WBA Flyweight belt boxing bout World against the current champion, Daisuke Naito where the challenger in the 12th round of fight repeatedly played fouls because he was desperate. He knew he was losing. On behalf of Kameda family, Kouki Kameda officially apologized for the uproar his brother's fouls caused and also he admitted that he himself advised his brother to do so during the match. On the one hand, many felt the family was going too far all this time. On the other hand, much stronger promotion on them led by the TV, was overwhelming the alert. The public broadcasting has never apologized so far in spite of the fact that it has its responsibility for the society about what it has aired as well as that the TV station conducted the promotion of this family to the absurdest level just to get high rating.

Column
  On 11 in the fight, the moment Daiki Kameda played foul, the boxing bout was no longer sport. His actions betrayed the boxing fans, despised Naito, the champion having had to deal with the fouls, and disgraced boxing. Inevitably, the challenger's father as well as his brother, Kouki, who instructed him to play fouls received penalties.
  However, during the very moments Daiki Kameda committing fouls the announcer, an employee of the TV station, never even made any critical comments on his actions. Furthermore, for months this broadcasting did bring Kameda family on its variety shows to gain attentions emphasizing the strong tie within the family in order to promote the family members all together. Yet, when the table was turned and criticism mounted, the producers and the ad agency that had involved in the whole thing went backstage hiding. These sort of people have no ethics or life philosophy and certainly, a thought of taking responsibility does not go through their minds. They do anything for money and viewer rating. Something went wrong, so they just put 20-year-old Kouki Kameda in front to take all the heat. What are they doing right now? They are hunting for their next profitable target.
  This year Drama "Hagetaka(Vulture i.e.)" was aired twice on NHK. It depicted so-called 10-year loss of Japan, meaning how much and what Japanese lost after the burst of the bubble economy. In effect, it was this drama only that summarized the painful period of the nation. The show even took up a back-scratching relationship of government and business. Now, this drama has been highly recognized abroad. By the way, the drama didn't get high viewer rating which only means high rating doesn't prove high quality of a show. Good shows always are deeply engraved on people's minds who watch them for a long time.

幼児性、性犯罪

  先週アメリカで、チェスター・スタイルズと言う37歳の男が、24の児童性犯罪関連容疑で逮捕された。この男、まだ2歳の女児を強姦している。更に、その行為をビデオテープで撮っていた。児童ポルノが蔓延しているアメリカだが、客の中には、大勢の日本人がいる。チェスター・スタイルズは、最低でも終身刑は免れない(仮釈放無し)、と検事は話した。スタイルズの生い立ちは、耳をふさぎたくなる劣悪な環境だ。しかし、それは、犯した罪の大きさからして、なんら情状の酌量はされず、社会に二度と出る事は無いと当局は話した。
  
コラム
  放送されるテレビ内容が余りにくだらな過ぎて、日本人が幼児化していると言うコメントが良く聞かれる。昨今のテレビ局は、子供の若さを商品として売り、視聴率が20%を超えれば大ヒットだそうだ。以前は、人気作品は40%だった。つまり、制作者の基準が下がったのだ。大金を費やすわりに、捏造や他局の模倣さえ平気で流す。「流行を先取りする」等と言って、作り出された内容には、オリジナリティやクリエイティビティは無い。つまり、質が低い。テレビ局は視聴率低迷の理由は、ネット等他媒体の普及でテレビを見なくなったのだ、と言い訳する。大人の制作者は、子供を使い、子供を視聴のターゲットにしているだけだ。つまらないから、見てもらえない現実には、決して向き合わない。
  現在になってやっと問題視されるようになったセクシャルハラスメントは、ずっと長い間日本社会に常態化していた。女性は、いつも犠牲になっていた。年をとっただけで大人になれない幼稚な男たちが、ストレスの多い社会で、自分が支配できる幼い子供狙う。一方、日本のテレビ番組におけるセクシャルハラスメントそしてパワーハラスメントは、先進国では有りえないレベルでまかり通り、放送されている。日本の芸能界が諸外国から軽視されるのは、当然と言われても仕方が無い。
子供の商品利用を断固止めるべきだ。

―Childishness - Sex Predators―


  Last week in America a man, named Chester Stiles,37, was arrested and charged with 24 felonies. He raped 2-year old baby and even videotaped the scene. Child pornography is spread in the country. It is humiliating that there are many Japanese consumers for that products are in fact. In Stiles' case, D.A said he would receive nothing less than life sentence without parole. The environment that this man was raised under was as horrible as it makes one want to cover one's ears. Yet, considering the extent of crimes Stiles has committed, extenuating the environmental circumstances of his childhood won't be taken and, he will be off the streets for good, says the authority.

  Many comment TV shows aired are so rubbish that they are making Japanese viewers become inmature. TV stations nowadays sell youth of very young talents and consider a hit if the show rating gets over 20%. In past popular shows would go near 40%, meaning producers have lowered their standard. Enormous amount of money spent on making TV shows and yet, as found out some of the shows' contents are made-up and even copied from other shows. TV people claim that they anticipate vogue. However, the ideas they come up with to air have neither originality,creativity nor quality in short. Their excuse for not receiving good rating as they used to do is attribution to widespread other type of media than TV such as Internet. Adults as producers use kids targeting kids for their show. Because it is boring people don't watch it. They just don't get it. They don't even face that fact.
  Recently sexual harassment is considered as a matter of problem at last. Nonetheless, this has always been there in the Japanese society for a long time and women have been up against it. Such childish men who have merely aged under the existing stressful society aim at kids the men can control. Meanwhile, sexual harassment as well as power harassment on TV shows are carelessly aired. The level of that can not possibly be allowed in other developed countries. No wonder the Japanese show business is belittled. They've got to stop using kids as products!
