Yesterday (August 7, 2011), in Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan, a bunch of angry Japanese people are marching around the Fuji TV head office on Odaiba, most of them are saying "No More Hallyu", in response to Sousuke Takaoka's twitter rant against the Korean pop culture that is already spreading Japan like any other countries that went gaga over Hallyu (Korean wave). Most of them are very angry about Fuji TV airing so many Korean dramas, K-POP, or everything Korean. Aside from that, there are some hating products made from Kao Corporation, which of course, a sponsor of Fuji Television for their commercials. That protest happened yesterday was a preparation for August 8, Japanese call it the Fuji TV day because 8 is the channel 8 of Fuji TV, as a Day of Rage. This August 8 Day of Rage will call it "No watching of Fuji TV day" and I'm scared to see what will happen this time...
Ain't this protest troublesome for Fuji TV, right? Well, today is August 8 and let's just forget about the whole protest happened, sit down, relax, and watch some Fuji TV shows, just in case. It's nothing about that whole Sousuke Takaoka racist rant against the Koreans nor the "No More Hallyu" protests at the Fuji TV head office yesterday. We could just watch some Fuji TV shows like a normal Japanese household.
