If you checked the youtube recently. you would see a Japanese guy is crying on a TV show. This file (removed quickly, so I am not sure you can see this) was viewed over 3 million times in the past a few days. Why he was crying? He is Koji Kato who was a member of Comdey duo "Gokuraku Tombo" (happy-go-lucky character ). His partner Keiichi Yamamoto has been questioned over raping of a 17-year-old girl. Gokuraku Tombo was a popular combi that appeared on hit program "mechaike" (I like this part ("Kazutori dan") and other some TV shows, but since Yamamoto was fired yesterday. The duo broke up and Kato will continue his career by himself. Before this incident, Kato appeared on TV dramas or TV shows by himself, it won't be difficult for him. But since they have been together for 16 years, Kato was crying and apologizing to people with such big crying.
On the Internet, it became a crazy fuss. I really don't have any interests for it, but I had to laugh when reading "Hyde is 156cm" attack on page of Yamamoto page of wikipedia. They wrote "Hyde is 156cm" on Yamamoto wiki and Kato wiki (actually "Hyde is 153cm" attacked Zidane page before too), and finally those two seems to be deleted from the wiki....ha ha ha orz...Sorry silly topic, but I suppose foreign people don't know the reason why the crying movie was so big. Now some funny movies related to this issue are up on youtube. for example this is an English one
I was away from the computer for a few days and something like this happens when I look for Mechaike episodes. I hope Yamamoto is cleared of all charges and didn't actually do that. Lucky they re-added Koji's video.. I've never seen him like that. Just wow.
