Predator: The Secret Scandal of J-Pop airs a new episode tonight Tuesday 7 March 2023 on BBC Two.
A lot of famous young boys became famous thanks to Johnny Kitagawa and his iconic all-boys talent agency. Kitagawa has been the subject of sexual abuse charges from former boys in his agency for well over half a century, but Japan has kept this secret a secret. The death of the music entrepreneur in 2019 was met with virtually silence from Japanese media. Why?
Mobeen Azhar, a journalist, delves into the oppressive realities of being a J-pop idol, examines the impact Kitagawa had on the media, and reveals the horrific repercussions of turning a blind eye.
Airdate: Tuesday 7 March 2023 at 9.00pm on BBC Two.
