J-TV Sakura Conspiracy

This Japanese Television Conspiracy Has Familiar Faces

Do you trust your local television media? In Japan, some folks are suspicious of the country's television media. Here's why.

Previously, Kotaku reported how some television news segments appeared to be what's called "yarase" (ヤラセ) or "staged" (here and here), allegedly filled with phoney people pretending to be regular folks called "sakura." As previously explained, this "sakura" (偽客) literally means "fake customer" and is different from the "sakura" (桜) for cherry blossoms.

There is reason to be suspicious, as last year a variety show called Hokotate was cancelled after it was revealed to have been staged.

For television news in Japan, there are instances where it looks like random "person on the street" interviews are anything but. Conspiracy adherents say that the networks allegedly hire unknown actors or small-time performers to pose as regular folks and give good soundbites for news programs. Some people are shy! And camera crews might have a difficult time getting the answers they want to fit their narrative.

I once forgot lemur's name while visiting/crashing with her in Osaka. I managed to not use her name for almost two days until she was paying for something with a CC and I was able to glance at her name. I think that's about the point I realized I was spending waaay too much time lemur huntin' and it was time to get back into some of my old hobbies.
