This case also proves that the age of the Internet has come. It is no exaggeration to say that the existing media is a bunch of absolute fools, proving that there can be no truth there.

A friend of mine called me angrily just now.
He commented, "NHK is still suspicious of Ohtani.
It is no exaggeration to say that this was a joint effort by the Asahi Shimbun and NHK, just as they practically criticized and attacked Mr. Abe during the Morikake scandal, repeatedly saying that suspicion remains.
And this was against that, Ohtani! My friend's anger was intense, even during the phone call.
Finally, he said to me.
I am convinced today that the people who control NHK's news department are zainichi Koreans, not genuine Japanese. I assure you.
What kind of nerve does NHK have to comment on such a stoic, baseball-oriented, and acknowledged stoic person and to say that suspicions remain?
Those nerves are not Japanese!"
It was a phone-breaking anger.

Did the people involved in NHK's news programs watch Yoichi Takahashi's YouTube channel?
After dinner, I watched Yoichi Takahashi's channel on YouTube.
Like me, or rather, like all Japanese people, he is a fan of Shohei Ohtani, and naturally, he watched Ohtani's press conference this morning.
For the previous days, I have already introduced him in this column.
The former Ministry of Finance sent him to study with Bernanke at a U.S. university...he lived in the U.S.
He taught me concisely what kind of society the U.S. is, how an agent (lawyer) is essential to live there, and other things that Japanese people, including myself, do not know.
Today, long before the NHK news started, he told us about when he opened a bank account. He could do it by himself because he could speak English, but those who could not speak English would never be able to do it alone.
Since Ohtani had been with Mizuhara since his Nippon Ham days, he was hired as an interpreter and went to the U.S. with him, so Mizuhara must have been present when Ohtani first opened his bank account in the U.S.
The money could be transferred by anyone other than the account holder himself.
After the press conference, a local American reporter asked whether anyone other than Ohtani himself could send money.
Mr. Takahashi asked the American reporter a rudimentary question: "Has he never sent money before?"
It is no exaggeration to say that the people who produce NHK news programs and those who call themselves newscasters have the brains of kindergarten children or younger.
If you are a journalist, you must watch the Yoichi Takahashi Channel.

This case also proves that the age of the Internet has come.
It is no exaggeration to say that the existing media is a bunch of absolute fools, proving that there can be no truth there.
It proves that the truth is now on the Internet.
