NEWS: Johnny's Head Julie Keiko Fujishima Resigns, Admits Late Founder Sexually Abused Minors for De

I thought Johnny's was an all-male talent agency.

...No one can ever be punished enough.

There have been other social movements recently that are slowly gaining steam so here's hoping there's a ripple effect.

Sadly the new boss may not be much better. He did not do a good job of convincing me he isn’t guilty. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-66748236.amp

Rare McDonalds W https://www.tokyohive.com/article/2023/09/mcdonalds-japan-to-cease-using-johnnys-entertainment-for-advertising-while-mos-burger-plans-to-continue

Don’t know what Mos Burger is but their business decisions are disgusting.

In a statement posted on Wednesday to its corporate website, Johnny and Associates said: “For the next year, all performance fees for advertisements and program appearances will be paid to the talent themselves, and we will not receive compensation as an entertainment production company.” While not specifically stated, that year is understood to start from the beginning of October.

Johnny’s said that further measures will be announced later this month. But, it has already set up a victim relief committee, to be operated by three former judges; a compensation application system; and appointed a chief compliance office to implement basic human rights policies within the company.

McDonald’s Japan, automaker Nissan and beer giant Kirin have said that they were dissociating themselves from Johnny’s, Japanese media reported Wednesday. “No form of human rights violation is tolerable,” McDonald’s Japan told media.

The Japan Times newspaper reports that drinks maker Suntory, insurance giant Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire, Japan Airlines and Asahi have all said that they will no longer use Johnny and Associates talent in their commercials.

The paper quoted a Suntory spokesman as saying: “Our company strongly urges Johnny’s to outline specific plans for reparation to the victims as well as prevention measures including strengthening of the agency’s governance.”
