Masaharu Fukuyama rarely speaks out to protect his children

▲ Singer and actor Masaharu Fukuyama

On the 10th, singer Masaharu Fukuyama (52 years old) expressed his views on weekly magazine reports on his private life on his radio program. A weekly magazine released this month featured photographs of Fukuyama children in mosaics. In the 30 years since his debut, Fukuyama has always taken a "completely ignoring" attitude toward weekly magazine reports about him, but only this time " I can't be silent" and asked the magazine to be cautious.

Children are photographed by unknown people on the road they have to pass every day, and all kinds of people in the publishing house can see the child's appearance, these photos can be removed at any time and the mosaic is spread everywhere, these things make Fukuyama bluntly say "very scary and afraid" .

Few artists have ever spoken out about such reports. However, Fukuyama, as a parent, must protect his children. He explained the reason for his voice: "Silence means that there is no explanation for the child. As a parent, I have an obligation to give my child an explanation and gain his understanding. ”

Recently, more and more artists have chosen not to publish details such as names and birthdays when their children are born. This means that parents do not want their children to be locked up by reporters. Although Fukuyama reported his child's birthday on the fan club website, he has never talked about his child in any public.

In May, actor Raiken (32), who shares the same firm as Fukuyama, also expressed his opinion on the publication of a photo of his child in a weekly magazine. He complained on his social platform account: "The next time I secretly photograph my child writing a report, even if I play mosaic, as long as I attach his photo, then I will really be angry." Can you please stop doing this? The firm to which the two belong also issued a statement on the 7th of this month, asking reporters not to interview or publish photos of the families and relatives of the artists they belong to.

Most of the showbiz reports in weekly magazines are related to the private lives of artists who can attract the attention of the public. Fukuyama himself said that the idea of "what kind of a child" arises from ordinary people, "It is not that everyone is not allowed to have this kind of thinking." Rather, it is on top of this that the reporter "did not protect the people who should be protected", which questioned its professional ethics.

For Fukuyama's rare voice, the Internet generally expressed its agreement, "He just said what is normal for parenthood." Fukuyama said he would speak out again if the same situation occurred in the future. Fukuyama has remained silent for so many years, no matter how many fabricated reports he has written, and the facts that he has deliberately spoken about this time must be taken seriously.
