Glad I found this -- was about to get this Shukan Post copy... Since the original article covers a page or so, I believe that's basically the whole article being presented. Nice job, JT.
Sure enough. And I still couldn't understand this alliance between Yamaguchi (herself) and Sumiyoshi (her backers) in this scandal...
Just wondering, how many more properties does she own, and how much mortgage does she still need to pay? Aoyama The Tower and Fukasawa Park House are already two very expensive ones according to the press... is there a third one out there??
AFAIK, most women are like that. IMO, A celeb probably has less control over her private lives etc. because of various circumstances.

Definitely something fishy about this PR gig. Already, too many secrets and lies regarding this entire narc scandal, and too many questions that go unanswered.
Was this PR actually a planned move by the school? Was this woman being "forced" to do such PR because she had no choice except compliance?
Is she really, wholeheartedly into senior nursing/welfare? Or is she doing it just for her personal redemption, before it's all too late?
If only someone knew the truth behind all these......
But one thing is for sure: 893 involvement (Inagawa, Sumiyoshi, Yamaguchi), although I can't figure out the exact roles played by these clans in this situation.
D for what? Disenchanted? Disillusioned? Disaffected? Distopia? Debauched? Demoralized?? All these seem to apply to this damaged woman so to speak...
Ex-defendent, but current convict. So no better.
What is more disturbing IMHO is that some TV stations (especally, TBS) started to regard her as "former talent," "ex-actress-cum-singer" even at an early stage (say, back in September). Must be part of the media lynching techniques...
There has to be a better description, say, "currently deactivated talent/singer/actress" and so on.

Jesus man. But this going-back-to-school trick is just too suspicious. This school is said to be quite low-ranking, and is plagued by scandals, so why chose this school in the beginning? Sure enough, there are other better-ranked unis that offer the same type of programs...
And why Masahisa was around, and had his crew shadow this damaged woman all the way? What's his role in this very act?
Also, why majoring in nursing/senior welfare/etc.? For the sake of her own redemption, ie. to pay back her senior peers (agent, stepmother, backers etc.) before it's too late??
Definitely something really fishy here. I suspect 893 involvement/arrangement. Already, it has been suggested online that this school may be associated with the Inagawa.

@BuddhismTech: Thanks for quoting Klein2, finally got to read ALL his previous comments -- and I MUST agree with both of you.
Something is definitely fishy about this woman, this narc situation, what she's done, and what she is having in her mind.
So it turns out that some 90s idol in the industry is in fact a sleeper who has the potential -- esp. thru her clan -- to manipulate all sorts of things, even large conglomerates, including the capability to bring down certain 893 operations -- which would then probably end up in more internal gang war IMHO.
If what you folks have speculated has indeed materialized, then this proves that Non-chan is more than a dangerous person in the society concerned. And, if she's indeed proven to be a liability in the yamishakai because of this, then it's better the rival 893s (Inagawa, Kokusui, Toa Yuai etc.) know of her clan's plot in advance and find an excuse to off her before Hell breaks loose -- there are more important things in the 893 culture and community that ought to be protected, rather than this debased Rabenmutter. (So what she's been in the industry for 23+ years? Relatively, she's just small potato.)
She probably plays this game properly and premeditatedly, effectively throwing both the media and readers like us off the radar. Now that's scary -- she's just unpredictable!! Who knows when she's doing good and when she's playing rogue???

Glad I finally found this.
Sure, all that CCTVs and custom security people, so what? Non-chan's case and background is ugly, and she has definitely become a liability to the yamishakai (underworld, inner society), which would ultimately mean her head. Any resourceful rival maru-B who swear to off her could easilly infiltrate the facility, breach all security, and pop her with a cocktail (spiked) IV, warranting her erasure. Alas, that didn't happen just yet.
She has become the Rabenmutter of the times instead and that won't change for the rest of her life
Definitely. Pretty much an undocumented but realized fact that behind all these conglomerates, it's the 893 of the yamishakai who is controlling all stakes.
Quoting a recent 2channeler's comment: "[on the bailout scene involving two alledged gangster-endorsed vehicles] One reason for not willing to reveal the absolute truths is that even many of the companies in the showbiz/mass media/advertising industries were actually founded and supported through 893 resources... ...So please, disseminate the fact that 'showbiz/mass media/advertising implicates 893 involvement' to as many people (public Joes) as possible."
Agreed, but why rot? Better not rot, but dropped by the rivals instead -- less pain.
As mentioned earlier, she's also a liability to the underworld, no wonder even shadowy people would cease to trust her because of all possibilities of being ratted on by her, to save her own back.
Must agree. Being good at young age simply doesn't guarantee the same wellness at advanced age, especially among women. I've seen these all and have suffered from such females even at family level, and yes, they're obnoxious and EVIL.
Again, this could be a smokescreen. Does getting to see the son make her a good caring mother again? I doubt it. The other thing, Yuuki was actually the product of irresponsible family planning, and that he could've have been classified as illegitimate, if not for the dekikon (which made him legit). I wonder how much TLC she REALLY expersses towards this boy, it could be as little as none...
Agreed again. It's not known what the significance of this hospitalization act is, could be the hideout trick as suggested, but could also suggest other more shadowy motives that we public Joes don't know of.
Non-chan has made herself some kind of legend in this narc scandal, that's why someone has suggested that her forename be added to The Urban Dictionary, for a certain woman stereotype. Now that's interesting.

This report could've been longer and more detailed, as it was disgested from TWO Shukan Post issues (Sep 11 and 18). Nevertheless, good report.
Unfortunately, given this complicated situation esp. the 893 connections, whether Non-chan would/could eventually make it in one piece remains to be seen.

Woe, didn't know there's a whole Shukan Post section on JT... wondering what connections JT and Shogakukan have... Anyway, good digest as I don't have the Sep 4 issue
Burn her? "DROP her" may be a better description... Given this messy situation, I suspect there could be a bounty issued inside those underworld (especially the ones she was in), for the dispatching of her, because her notoriety might be deeply affecting those circles, jeopadizing their underground activities etc. etc.
She's caught between the black and the white. Whatever the verdict, she might be unable to make it in one piece eventually. Catch the drift?

So what makes Mayaya decide to turn freelance?
Forgive me being ignorant, but I simply don't understand this joshiana culture... How come a freelance presenter can earn double than normal contracted ones? Is she going to have an external agent to represent her?

This shows China is still a very conservative country with little opportunity to open up the film industry. That's why many mainland artists/actors/etc. are heading down to Hong Kong to further develop their careers. Who says China is the future? Shame on China!!

Well let's see when Japan will get the half-pounder... wwwww
In my vicinity, there's double quarter-pounder (and double fillet-o-fish, for a limited time) being served in 24h Mickey Ds from 2100 to 0500. Very delicious, but equally lethal (read: artery-clogging). That said, it's easy to get addicted to these esp. when other better options (eg. BK) are not available at the given time -- in a sleepless town.

"Graduated" is tranlsated from "sotsugyou" which I believe has another meaning in this case. Can someone explain that? Having said that, has Ebihara really been "ousted" from Cancam due to her old age? I guess now the Moe/Ebi team lives on......

During my days (some 15+ years ago) cellphones were expensive and scarce among school environment. Almost no student carried one. I remembered some students were even stripped of their pagers even when they weren't using it (that was during some stupid schoolbag search). I told myself it's just another personal communications device and is no harm, so such devices ahould be allowed. But now cellphones have become a commodity and even a kid is being assigned one. And the bundled features are simply distracting to the everyday school activities and the student's well being. I'm still against taking the phones away from them, but certain restraint is necessary. Jamming devices can be installed in each classroom and set to run during class and/or exam session, but that's not without drawbacks (esp. during real emergency).
