Shosuke Tanihara (C) Seriously
Hajime Moriyasu, director of the Japanese national team who finished the soccer World Cup Qatar tournament, appeared live on “Mezamashi 8” (Fuji TV) broadcast on December 12, where actor Shosuke Tanihara serves as MC.
However, Tanihara’s behavior towards Director Moriyasu has caused controversy.
At the beginning of the program, the VTR of 4 matches including Morocco vs. Portugal and England vs. France in the quarterfinals was broadcast. After that, the camera in the studio projected Moriyasu’s appearance.
Tanihara introduced Director Moriyasu, saying, “The busiest person in Japan has come to ‘Mezamashi 8’.”
“I’m sorry that it’s from a man.”
Tanihara congratulated, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry for being a man, but congratulations on advancing to the final tournament.”
Tanihara left the MC seat with a bouquet of flowers and approached Director Moriyasu, but his suit touched the table and the paper on the table fluttered.
Director Moriyasu, who received the bouquet, bowed and said, “Thank you for everyone’s support and cooperation.”
In response to the announcer’s question, which thanked him for his busyness following returning to Japan, he said, “It’s a pleasure for us to be able to say thank you for being invited to the program like this.”
Viewers point out that there is no problem if a man gives a bouquet to a man. Even if it’s out of consideration for the other person, he complains that it’s problematic to go out of his way to say, “I’m sorry for being a man.”
《When presenting a bouquet of flowers, a man will say things like apologies.》
“Gender doesn’t matter when it comes to handing out bouquets, right? Is it because I don’t like it if it’s from a man?』
《When I give you a bouquet of flowers, it’s from a man… It feels strange, Mr. Tanihara, if you get a bouquet from a man, you feel sorry. Director Moriyasu is not a narrow-minded person.
“Is there something wrong with a man handing over a bouquet? smile”
《Woman-only person in charge of handing out bouquets? A woman who makes tea, and a woman who does housework? 》
It may have been Tanihara’s concern, but it may have been a little too many words.
