Yoshizawa Situation

[Menno]

Looking at how the girl on the bicycle just stands up after being hit.... wow..... this could have ended so much worse. Thank the gods it didn't.

As for Jossi, it's clear that her public live is over. I don't see no comeback for her after all the dust is settled and the sentence is served.

I don't think the press will stay interested for too long, it just depends on how fast the next celebrity scandal will pop up. It might get a rebound when the court case starts and when she receives her sentence.


And let this be a lesson for everybody here, don't f**ing drink and drive, it's not OK, even if it's just that one time...

Well, it's official. Tokyo District Prosecutor's office has filed criminal charges against Yossie today (26th in Japan). For negligent driving, DUI, and causing injuries.

Oricon

And here we go: her contract is dissolved. She's no longer with UF. She'll retire from entertainment completely.

I’m hearing rumors on news sites that the H!P summer concert is being shelved but I’m hoping it’s just rumors.

[JonCC]

I hope not: I pre-ordered the 12.000 yen edition (2 Blu-ray + 2 DVD) two days ago.
At most I could see them cutting the performances that involved her.

That was very, very sad to watch. This is the absolute fall of an idol. My idol. Hitomi was my first #1. I loved how cool she was. To see her brought so low is painful.

Hearing that fan screaming Ganbare! over and over in the crowd at the end was emotional, it was a plea. Was it for Hitomi or herself? I just wanted to hug her.

[vikitty]

Same here. It’s really upsetting watch an idol fall so hard and so quickly. Weeks ago we were ecstatic seeing her onstage with Aibon, and now...

[Starra]

If nothing else I hope she's learnt her lesson and I really hope she gets help, since it looks like she might need it.

They're just cutting her scenes.

Which means Ichii's Chokotto LOVE will be cut too then....
as well as As For One Day with Aibon...

BTW if UF decides to scrub all Yoshizawa footages for the upcoming H!P DVD, Ichii is screwed.
Should've appeared two different days like Kago: 1st day = safe, 2nd day = NG due to Yoshizawa yet again.

What a coincidence that Yoshizawa just happened to show up only when those two comeback women came. ...at least thanks to Da Pump, there are some footages from the press for Ichii.

Wrote as much almost 3 weeks ago. Not all is lost on Ichii as some of the longer press footage has even edited MC part in it as seen here (starting around 2:13):


That's more or less enough for the nostalgia factor. In almost all case (daresay 100%) in OG performances, it's watch-once-and-move-on deal anyway and nobody was eagerly waiting for a great performance by Ichii. No one in this forum was gonna miss it anyway, at least, judging by lukewarm reactions she usually gets. And by large, she just isn't that popular - never was even in her active days, really. Kago fans has her 1st day in DVD, so not much to complain there.
