Japanese actor Sousuke Takaoka is in shambles after he posted

"Landep News"

The showbiz career of Japanese actor Sousuke Takaoka is in shambles after he posted an angry rant on Twitter about his feelings about seeing so many Korean television dramas aired on Japanese TV.

Apparently he can’t watch Fuji TV (channel anymore because it airs too many South Korean dramas. It’s like the network has become a Korean TV channel. He wants to see Japanese TV channels airing Japanese dramas. He turns off the TV whenever its showing something Korean.

Takaoka is married to actress Aoi Miyazaki. In one of the tweets after his rant, he claimed that his wife shared his views. However, after the story blew up in the media, he posted a tweet announcing that his wife had ordered him to write that she does not share his views. As one of Japan’s most popular actresses, Miyazaki has a lot more to lose than her husband. It is rumored that their marriage could now be in jeopardy.

Takaoka has since been fired by his talent agency. He seems to have accepted the fact that his acting career is finished.

After the firing, he set up a new personal blog. In his first post (translated into English by Tokyo Hive), Takaoka confessed that he had attempted suicide several years ago. He claims that he had been driven into despair after the South Korean media coverage of his role in the movie “Pacchigi!” included fabricated quotes that made it sound like he hated Japan:

Some time later, the things I said at the campaign for “Pacchigi!” in Korea were published differently from the truth. When I returned to Japan, the media and internet labeled me as ‘Anti-Japanese’. It was at that time that my hate for the media took root within me.

What were the “anti-Japanese” things he claims he didn’t actually say? Apparently a South Korean newspaper (the Chosun Ilbo) had included a question about the Takeshima/Dokdo dispute in a interview about the “Pacchigi!” movie. Takaoka was quoted as saying, that he didn’t particularly like Japan, thought Japanese treatment of Korea has been unfair/cowardly, and that he wanted the Japanese government to give its people the truth. (個人的には、日本という国はあまり好きではない。韓国に対して、日本は卑劣なように思える. 日本政府は正しい情報を国民に伝えるよう願う)

His blog post also contained the accusation that Korean TV dramas were part of a conspiracy to keep the masses from realizing the horrible truth about the radiation from Fukushima:

Reports about the March 11th incident were only good in the beginning. Then they became hypocritical.
They turned their eyes away from the radiation problem, and put restraints on things that were inconvenient to them.
What these people were doing was just as it was before.
There were many reports that weren’t delivered to the citizens. Instead, they aired irrelevant foreign dramas, and on the morning news, they reported biased information.
I became suspicious of this country.
With this flow in my mindset, I made those recent remarks.
I couldn’t tolerate it anymore.
The things that built up inside me gushed out.

Although his mainstream entertainment career seems to be finished, his vocal denunciation of the mainstream media, hatred of Korean dramas, and support of Fukushima conspiracy theories has made him extremely popular on the internet. Perhaps he’s looking to make a new career for himself in the nationalist or conspiracy theorist niche markets?
