Hiroyuki Ariyoshi’s Surprising Move: Finally Mentions Fuwa-chan After a Month

On August 14, Hiroyuki Ariyoshi posted a message on his X, stating, “I’ll say something amazing! I won’t say it unless it’s Futabasha! Even Fuwa-chan, Nakamaru, Ranjatai, and Inada! If I had to say it, it would be Futabasha!! Ariyoshi’s reminder!”

Ariyoshi’s essay, “Ariyoshi Memo,” has been serialized on Futabasha’s comprehensive literary site “COLORFUL” since October 2023. In his latest update, he finally mentions Fuwa-chan, a topic that has been on everyone’s mind.

The Backstory

It’s been a month since YouTuber Fuwa-chan announced her hiatus from entertainment activities due to a post that included inappropriate abuse towards comedian Yasuko. The incident caused a stir, and Fuwa-chan disappeared from Ariyoshi’s annual special program.

According to an entertainment reporter, “Fuwa-chan will appear in ‘Ariyoshi’s Summer Vacation 2024 Close-up 77 Hours in Hawaii’ (Fuji TV), which will be broadcast on September 7, and she also participated in the filming in Hawaii. She is on good terms with Hiroyuki Ariyoshi in both public and private life.”

Ariyoshi’s Thoughts on Fuwa-chan

However, in his latest essay, Ariyoshi only mentions Fuwa-chan briefly, stating, “It’s going up in flames.” He also talks about the Paris Olympics, daily life, and his resentment towards the media covering Fuwa-chan.

A TV station official commented, “Ariyoshi-san’s opinions on Fuwa-chan, who was loved by many people, and his thoughts on the series of disorders were not written down, as many people expected.”

The Silence of Celebrities

Fuwa-chan has had interactions with many celebrities, including Rino Sashihara, Nicole Fujita, and Thelma Aoyama. However, many people remain silent in the face of this uproar.

A TV station official stated, “Ariyoshi-san, everyone is in a state of ‘God without contact and has no curse.’ It is unlikely that Ariyoshi-san will talk about Fuwa-chan again in the future, as he did not discuss it in depth in his essay.”
