A substantial non-fiction work that revives Showa-era entertainment scandals "Release all the 'facts' we've grasped," "Relentlessly pursue the truth." While there are increasing criticisms of the Bunshun Ho (Shukan Bunshun's investigative reporting) method these days, readers' interest in celebrity scandals remains high. So, how did editors and reporters of the time, when photo weeklies and women's weeklies were at their peak, conduct their investigations and report the news? Gathering leads, verifying information, stakeouts, negotiations, conflicts... Amidst the fierce investigative activities, they launched numerous scoops while adhering to a single "rule." On the 55th anniversary of the founding of Josei Seven, the truth is revealed. ● Masaya Oki in Nirvana ● Momoe's Big Gamble ● Showken and the Tombstone ● Seiko, Unprecedented and Unparalleled ● Yuka Onishi and the Missing President ● Shinobu Horie's Death Makeup Featuring: Masao Sen, Yasushi Yokoyama, Eimi Yamada, Sancon Shungiku Uchida, Kei Sato, Yoshiharu Noda, Akira Kurosawa, Hiroyuki Okita Kojiro Shimizu, Shingo Yamashiro, Mitsuko Baisho, Buck-Tick BUCK-TICK, Atsushi Sakurai, Masaki Kanda, Jeff Noriko Kamachi, Toshihiko Tahara, Showken, Yamaguchi-gumi Sumiyoshi-kai, Kenichi Hagiwara, Kumiko Akiyoshi, Toshiyuki Nagashima Mikihiko Renjo, Antonio Inoki, The Tempters Kenji Sawada, Julie, The Tigers, The Beatles PYG, Shintaro Katsu, Jinpachi Nezu, Ayumi Ishida Hideo Murota, Kazuko Komori, Tomokazu Miura, Yujiro Ishihara Tadao Nikkei, Shinichi Mori, Hachiro Kasuga, Hisao Kurosawa Kensaku Morita, Hiromi Go, Sayaka Kanda, Hiroyuki Sanada Hiroko Shino, Haruo Minami, Yui Asaka, Hidetada Aizawa Jun Nagara, Robert De Niro, Ryudo Uzaki Yoko Aki, Masashi Sada, Hibari Misora, Akiko Wada Horipro, The Mops, Kohei Tsuka, Mitsuko Oka Gay Boy, Harumi Miyako, Junko Sakurada, and many others Unlike today, the Showa era entertainment world was dominated by variety shows. This book is packed with the behind-the-scenes stories of entertainment news. From reviews: It's interesting to peek behind the scenes of the entertainment world, such as the negotiations of Momoe Yamaguchi's agency behind her retirement. It's an easy read. I admire the reporters' investigative spirit. I feel like we're moving from an era of hiding scandals to an era of not committing them. The book reveals that if there are human relationships between those reporting and those being reported on, such as Mr. Nikkei, Masaya Oki's agency president and adoptive father, and President N, who went missing due to a scandal involving talent O, the writing becomes more compelling.
