Disgraced former-NTV announcer to hold lavish wedding reception

A 28-year-old NTV announcer was arrested for secretly filming up a woman’s skirt two years ago. After prosecutors finally decided not to prosecute him, he was assigned to another department within NTV and has been working as an ordinary employee since then.

“He is going to get married”, one NTV insider says. “His fiancée is a beautiful woman who works for another TV station on the same NTV network. Many of her colleagues worry if she knows his past. But they had been in a relationship before the case. She has been devoted to helping him through his depression as a result of massive criticism.”

What is concerning NTV is that the two are going to hold a lavish wedding reception at a place which is often used as a location for for TV dramas and films.

“He caused a lot of trouble for NTV and destroyed the company’s reputation. How come he can hold such a gorgeous party?” wonders another NTV insider.

The man in question seems to be struggling about what he should do for his fiancée. “He of course thinks he should do something outstanding. He has made a brave decision to make his fiancée’s dream come true because she has been devoted to him in spite of his arrest,” says one of his colleagues.

Apparently, he has been working hard at NTV and his bosses and colleagues highly value him now for his attitude. The majority of NTV employees support his decision to hold a lavish wedding party, says an NTV insider. (Translated by Taro Fujimoto)

you I am sorry he is a U.S. Marine. We can't punish him like that. We can only kick him out because he is white like an American and the Brits. We don't believe in punishment. Also that is the reason we let rapist and murderer out of jails. To think I used be proud of being from an Country that that uses English. Now I just keep an low key so that I don't draw attention to myself.

This is such a NON story.How much more boring does it get?

"As a result, if the prosecutors fail to prove guilt, they do not declare the suspect innocent, but rather "not guilty".

I am aware of the distinction you make but my understanding is that in this case no charge has ever been made and so the guy concerned cannot be found "not guilty" because there never was any formal attempt to establish his guilt in the first place.

statistician: this non-news was put on the site so we have a perfect right to flame this guy

Wow, news must be thin on the ground today. And what kind of reporter opens a story with details of an event that happened two years ago? Truly embarrassing work.

Shouldn't this be in the Entertainment section with all the other Who Cares drivel?

I don't get why guys are into filming upskirt. I mean unless you know the monthly cycle then....anyway, of course he is tainted forever like any pervert would be. I am sure his mates found it funny though like good mates should.

Gossip... the guy wasn't charged for a reason, most likely they didn't have enough evidence, so leave the dude alone.

Typical of corrupt organizations rallying to support one of their own. The guy is a perverts. NTV is supporting a pervert.

He didn't even get charged with anything...what a non-story.

And I've never heard of NTV anyway.

It's none of NTV's business, that's how come...

Unless any of you know the details of why he wasn't prosecuted I would say that the guy did do an illegal thing. He got arrested for it. If there wasn't enough evidence, so what? It doesn't mean he did not do it. What a pervert. My grandmother once said, girls ruin boys. I tend to agree with her in some situations, this is a good one. I don't think he is going to stop his peeping. He will just be more careful next time. A for the wedding, well, obviously he is not ashamed of what he did.

You don't need to worry about the bridesmaids - I read that the bride is going to wear a beautifully lavish meringue-style white gown, western style of course, with a magnificent lacy bra, sparkly white shoes, white fishnet stockings with a lacy suspender belt, and nothing else. But she's banning all the female guests from wearing skirts (not sure if the men can wear them ...) and she's chosen bridesmaids outfits that involve stylish, well-fitting pink trousers - with a well-starched crease - and maternity-style smocks smothered in frills and printed with elegant images of fuji-san. Typical J-style in fact, except for the pics of Fuji.

No risks to be taken, she said, but in a casual aside she mentioned that her husband-to-be's shoe camera would be welcome to point up HER frilly dress....
