I can't anymore with this man, he's so arrogant and his ego is so big that he doesn't realize he's in the wrong!!! So pathetic and absurd. He believes that he's in the right when he's not. Killing is wrong even if it's a thirty year old man or a young idol!! No one deserves to get hurt. Yet he wants to present that "oh, people only care about idols!!" That's not true!! What a jerk he is!!

He's digging his grave worse than the Nintendo Switch. Please be a dear Yamakan and just stick to making WUG's second season.

How much longer before he says something that makes everyone refuse to work with him? Sometimes bad press is just bad press, something this washed up has been will hopefully learn soon enough.

He realizes that peoples' perception of idols is flawed, but he expresses this through provocation and blaming the victims...

It would probably be a bit too disrespectful to use the following as the headline for all subsequent Yamakan articles: Washed up Has-been Says Something Stupidly Provacative.

Again, he's right about a double standard, but he's not going to get his point across saying it now while everyone is concerned about the woman who was nearly murdered. It'd been better if he'd respectfully zip his lip and bring up his point later down the line.

Also, calling his nation trash isn't going to earn him any points with many.

Yeah, i'd say that crowdfunding campaign will be DOA. He acts like he can say whatever he wants and get away with it. I hope the people that were considering funding his project are paying attention to what he's saying.

Reminds me a certain big, orange, man-child that uses Twitter a bit too much instead of doing his job.

Dang, this dude's got balls! Laughing But honestly, he has a point. It sucks what happened to her and I'm glad she's still alive but still, returning a present to a fan definitely wasn't her best decision. From what I've read, I have come to disagree with anyone who said she hasn't made a mistake. Nothing is black and white.

Don't the production companies or talent agencies handle gift giving and fan letters? Or is it different than what Hollywood does. It just seems weird to be returning a gift, when it could be easily left with the handlers to collect dust.

He had a point about his comments regarding the situation earlier but now this guy is stirring up the pot. What a total scumbag.

Yamakan is not listed as staff on the new Wake Up Girls

Also, according to various sources, Yamakan has left Ordet altogether, though the official website seems to still list him as the rep. He is now registered as a "talent" at entertainer agency KALLOS ENTERTAINMENT.
