TV announcer Miku Natsume has been fired after a particularly obscene photograph of her with a condom was leaked.
The shocking photograph at the centre of the scandal:
The 26-year-old TV presenter began appearing on TV in 2007, working on a variety of programmes.
In 2009 the photographs above were somehow leaked (presumably by the usual “scumbag ex-boyfriend” channel) to and then published by a Tokyo scandal rag, and she soon found all her TV appearances cancelled and subsequently ended up on paid leave, which expired recently. She then resigned.
Although technically a resignation, hounding an unwanted employee out of a job without actually going through the legally difficult business of firing them outright (traditionally by removing them from their core duties and giving them a worthless position with no prospects, and then waiting for them to crack and resign “voluntarily”) is an established Japanese employment practice, so it appears to be a dismissal in all but name.
Presumably this will be the end of her career in show business, as no TV station will want to employ a woman so slatternly as to use a contraceptive.
2ch is uncharacteristically sympathetic:
“Come on – a condom should be fine, it’s not like it was a sex tape.”
“She’s not even a seiyuu… the people who bash these women for having sex lives are crazy.”
“She isn’t even an idol. Why is there a problem with her having sex?”
“It seems TV stations are treating their announcers like idols these days.”
“Poor girl.”
“How did this get leaked anyway?”
“She lost so much through just that 1 pic…”
“Now we can await her porn star debut.”
“Her TV bosses are as tough on sex as you lot are.”
“She got fired over something this trivial?”
“If they don’t like it, then they shouldn’t put anyone but virgins and children on TV.”
“Can’t she sue them?”
“Her ex-boyfriend is the one she should sue…”
“Blame it on those weekly rags who published the pics.”
“This is unfair dismissal.”
“There must be another reason behind all this…”
“So it’s not just creepy otaku, our entire society is a bunch of creepy virgin hunters.”
“Everyone made a fuss about creepy otaku whining about Nagi and Aya, but really, is our wider society any better?”
“What is wrong with using a condom?”
“She is doing a public service by promoting safe sex – she should be praised!”
“This is retarded. If condoms are bad because they are associated with people having sex, shouldn’t people with children also be barred from TV as they are also associated with sex?”
“I could understand if it was a pic of her face dripping with semen, but this is just ridiculous…”

Japan: simultaneously more perverted and yet more prudish than the US.
Japan: Land of the hypocrite.
Well USA is land of hypocrites too same for EU they are bunch of moralist and hypocrites.
I guess hypocrties rule this world they own even Chuck Noris.
Rather it is idiocy that rules the world; for hypocrisy springs forth from idiocy. But yes. The United States of America is a place ruled by half wits (at best) and hypocritical "bleeding hearts".
You are not american, moron.
You are a us citizen
keep your negative comments in your own country, worry about your iminant problems, and stuff the xenophobic shit falling from your mouth. Only one IshitHara is nesessary in this world and his welcome to the nearest crematorium is always warm. And Americans with brains know our counrty sucks.
Ohoh! Smart American you are! Not even stopping to consider that I myself am an American as well! U MAD?
Someone's not looking before they leap.
And to compare us to Ishihara; Dear Anon seems to be a drama queen!
With Native American blood. Thus, I am American. Jumping the gun again, are you?
Did not expect that kind of sympathy from 2ch...
But they're right! It's an incredibly tame photo. I guess if you want to be on TV in Japan you should just never have sex ever.
...or have sex on TV :)
2ch, not complete douches? What's going on here?
This level of stupidity would make iShitHara proud. I guess we need to ban condoms now for being harmful to HIV.
Nice one.
"I guess we need to ban condoms now for being harmful to HIV."
+1 nets for you!
am I the only one who noticed that her name is really similar to Miku, only off by the letters n and m? I thought this was a Hatsune Miku thing...lol
Yes your the only one Yakomo, just kidding. :3
@megidola
Really good one. But you're wrong, we need to ban condoms for being ineffective against HIV.
Pope Ratzinger said. Really.
I want them to ban children all together.
A condom can choke a women blowing you if it´s loose on your penis... a true danger.
“Come on – a condom should be fine, it’s not like it was a sex tape.”
this^
“Now we can await her porn star debut.”
2ch, the optimist
“So it’s not just creepy otaku, our entire society is a bunch of creepy virgin hunters.”
I'm edging towards THIS opinion.
You seem to think most women have the desire to be a whore the second society stops punishing them. Many girls have sex with their boyfriends because they feel a close emotional bond with them. And what about the divorcees or widows- just because they're not virgins, they are somehow less desirable than a 16 year old with no experience?
And what about men, for that matter? Why are they not penalized for having sex with more than one person in a lifetime?
And when you say, 'have more sexual partners than average', what kind of average are we talking here? The average of their lifetimes? Or your ideal average of zero?
More than creepy virgin hunters, I think they're more like creepy non-virgin witch hunters. With torches and pitchforks.
As a creepy virgin hunter, I welcome this new society
So how would you treat women who where raped as a child by virgin hunters worse than you? Or humped and dumped like you claim we do so well? Would you imprison them like the Muslums do? You men don't realize that you gave us women this power called feminism by forcing your chauvanistic ideas on us or gave too much slack in the household and why you married men in Japan bitch that you ain't got shit with your job and YOUR bitch given allowance. Now women like me have to worry about some ugly man-dike too big for her pant suit to piss off the wrong man in charge. I just want a simple family oriented life but i can't can I? I just don't want to get played (screwed over). Fuck feminism! Fuck all of you who think having a virgin is all that matters! And fuck all of you who thinks every woman is a feminist!
Anon 1:
'I am a virgin and men like you hold no appeal. '
Anon 2:
'Worse being the one who raped me sat next to me and smiled in my face, stuck his dick through a hole in my wall, or watched me undress.'
It would be interesting to find out if Anon 1 and Anon 2 are the same person. If so, that person considers herself a "virgin" even though she has been raped.
If words like "virgin" can be twisted so far from their accepted meanings, such words serve more to obscure meanings than to communicate them.
'Your words imply the sense that used goods are used goods.'
My words also imply that A is A and 0=0.
'Your words imply the sense that used goods are used goods.'
My words also imply that A is A, that white is not black, and that 2+2=4.
Are you familiar with the concept of a "tautology"? There's this thing called "logic." It includes notions such as "A is A," or "used goods are used goods."
...
Incidentally, you might enjoy some threads on the forums:
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/forums/topic.php?id=10522
In particular, the comment that links to the City Journal might be quite illuminating. That article includes passages such as the following:
"But suggest to a rape bureaucrat that female students should behave with greater sexual restraint as a preventive measure, and you might as well be saying that the girls should enter a convent or don the burka. “I am uncomfortable with the idea,” e-mailed Hillary Wing-Richards, the associate director of the Office of Sexual Assault Prevention and Women’s Resource Center at James Madison University in Virginia. “This indicates that if [female students] are raped it could be their fault—it is never their fault—and how one dresses does not invite rape or violence. . . . I would never allow my staff or myself to send the message it is the victim’s fault due to their dress or lack of restraint in any way.” Putting on a tight tank top doesn’t, of course, lead to what the bureaucrats call “rape.” But taking off that tank top does increase the risk of sexual intercourse that will be later regretted, especially when the tank-topper has been intently mainlining rum and Cokes all evening."
"By the sound of your replies it sounds like you know very little about sex or relationships. More relationships work based on compatibility and whether or not the people involved treat each other right. I am a virgin and men like you hold no appeal."
If you are a virgin, you do not have a great deal of first-hand experience with sexual relationships.
If you hope to claim that you know about how relationships work, you are voluntarily taking up the burden of proof. Good luck with that. You'll need it.
"Being raped is a tragedy, but making exceptions to moral principles for rape victims merely leads to more rape and more tragedies."
'So shunning rape victims for an undesirable is the best course of action to prevent future rapes?'
I did not use the term "shun." You seem to be ignoring my actual comments and replying to imaginary positions.
Of course, if your moral principles dictate that rape victims should be shunned, you have the burden of defining just how such shunning should be conducted.
Since I did not call for shunning, but rather for principled conduct, I would be interested to discover how your notion of "shunning" relates to my notion of principled conduct.
We are not the same... THIS is the THRID time I've replied to your shit... I have a loving man who accepted me for what happened... So you can stuff it...
I CHOOSE not sign in dealing with people like you and sign in when I'm talking to people that matter on topics that actually have individuals in there right mind posting quality responses...
Yes I do agree that women do wear clothing that invite the negative attention they garner with their sense of dress, but how should a woman be dressed? Burlap? Rags? should we go back to the 40's when women wore dresses as swimsuits and watch them drown in the pool because they took on too much water?
Your a twit and you think your sad chavanistic attempts at changing my opinion of your words makes any difference.
But let me spell it out for you:
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DISRESPECT ANYONE MAN OR WOMAN! HOW DARE YOU USE YOUR GENDER AS AN EXCUSE TO PUT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING DOWN!
Oh and thanks for dodging almost all of the Questions I've asked you. You've only went for the statements you think you can twist around.
But rest easy I know you are incapable of doing that so I'll ignore your shit from now on.
So fuck you and have a wonderful day sir. I hope you burn in hell with us non-virgin women.
@yourfriend (Rick)
And why on earth don't morons ever have a vested interest in GTFO?!?
part of me is a laughing @ how everyone just sodomized his worthless internet opinion ^_^ *throws 2 cents*
when people know what they do won't be punishable they do it, quiet honestly this applies to everything. people simply do things because they can.
Nobody in the fucking world wants to be treated equally, they always want to be treated a little bit better than everyone else but, Hey whatever you think being treated fairly is =_=
'And what about the divorcees or widows- just because they're not virgins, they are somehow less desirable than a 16 year old with no experience?'
Divorcees definitely offer less to future relationships than never-married women. Widows are slightly less desirable than never-married women.
Sexual experience doesn't usually make sex a whole lot better. However the habit of trying out new sexual partners, if acquired before marriage, can ruin the chances of a successful marriage.
Your comments make little sense.
So if a woman is humped then dumped by a man she consents to it by allowing the man to be with her in the first place. But if a man is humped/dumped by a woman the woman is being cruel/vindictive? Do you just like spinning it so that men are always the victims?
"Being raped is a tragedy, but making exceptions to moral principles for rape victims merely leads to more rape and more tragedies."
...WHUT. So shunning rape victims for an undesirable is the best course of action to prevent future rapes? That scenario just gives the rapist more power over the victim. Once the victim is targeted their life is pretty much over. They'll never be accepted as a normal woman, that's in your ideal world anyway.
By the sound of your replies it sounds like you know very little about sex or relationships. More relationships work based on compatibility and whether or not the people involved treat each other right. I am a virgin and men like you hold no appeal. I'd like to think you're trolling, since no one can be this chauvinistic without being deluded.
The garbage you speak still stinks the same. Men as rape victims are the same to me as for females. Women use his erection as an excuse to paint him being the aggressor.
Your words imply the sense that used goods are used goods. You fail to understand that society instills the fear of being a blight on the planet no matter where you live.
I was devistated watching amime featuring virgin girls with super powers as a child. Worse being the one who raped me sat next to me and smiled in my face, stuck his dick through a hole in my wall, or watched me undress.
Ever considered sleeping with a girl and once the night was over you leave her with the satisfaction of taking her virginity? Whats her worth as a woman afterwards? Why does she continue to exist? Your words state she has no value.
Whats the point of sex? Love? A relationship? A marriage?
You are a virgin once. After that life continues and relationships come and go as we walk the street day by day.
Guys, virgin hunting is not some weird fetish. It's a very rational approach to maximizing male sexual interests.
Females have a vested interest in being able to have sex with Mr. Right Now, and then dump him for Mr. Long Term. Feminism allows them to do this without getting punished.
Thus men have a vested interest in punishing women who have more choices in sexual partners than average. If a girl can dump her man without consequences, many girls will dump their men. If most girls face consequences, some of them will stay together.
Women can exploit men a hundred ways from Sunday. This is one small way in which men can strike back. And all the feminists are going to say it's equivalent to the Taliban and clitoridectomy, but it's not.
'You men don't realize that you gave us women this power called feminism by forcing your chauvanistic ideas on us or gave too much slack in the household and why you married men in Japan bitch that you ain't got shit with your job and YOUR bitch given allowance. '
"or gave too much slack in the household" appears to be grammatically incorrect; if that were deleted, your comment might almost make sense.
'So how would you treat women who where raped as a child by virgin hunters worse than you?'
Being raped is a tragedy, but making exceptions to moral principles for rape victims merely leads to more rape and more tragedies.
So rape victims get treated by the same principles I apply to everyone else.
'Or humped and dumped like you claim we do so well?'
Women who get humped and dumped by their own consent are the major part of the problem.
'part of me is a laughing @ how everyone just sodomized his worthless internet opinion ^_^ '
Their "sodomy" took two forms; 1- the use of down-voting; 2- the use of worthless internet opinions.
When downvoting gets bad enough so that casual viewers can't see my contributions, I'll have to make an effort to notice. Unfortunately, the software doesn't enable me to maintain an ignore-list.
It's also neither shocking nor ironic that the Anon used the reference to "sodomy" as an attempt at shaming language. Rape of women is supposed to be treated as blasphemy, but the sodomitic rape of men is supposed to be humorous. Inconsistent morality is no surprise.
“There must be another reason behind all this…”
2ch, also seeing conspiracies NHK-style everywhere.
This is fucking retarded & unreasonable, hope is can bounce back from this in a timely fashion...
"Natsume" Miku? LOOOOOOOOL
Well at least the Miku in issue is not Miku Hatsune.
“I could understand if it was a pic of her face dripping with semen, but this is just ridiculous…”
lol
bet her bosses just didnt get any and were jealous
I don't see what the big deal is >_<
oh..and nice Yume Miru Kusuri icon
this is ridiculous, if crap like this goes on i wont have any respect left to be able to loose any more for japan and their society
getting fired over a pic holding a condom, i thought u need to be a grown-up to be a tv announcer, her bosses must all be virgins
meh there was a time when i would have given my everything to be able to live in japan but i guess thats a thing of the past
She does look cuter with a condom...
'Hypocrisy in modern societies is becoming unbearable.'
Learn the difference between hypocritical application of an inherently consistent principle and the application of an inherently inconsistent principle.
she has nice anime eyes. shes cute.
This same kind of crap happened with Edison Chen and the girls he associated with. It must be some Asian thing.
@johnhayabusa
LOL, sure, but true. Hypocrisy in modern societies is becoming unbearable.
“There must be another reason behind all this…”
this i can believe.
i mean i know there are a few celeberties, who there agentcys only kept them around and put up with there shit because they had a squeaky clean reputation. the moment there was a smear they let them go. cant remember who but i remember it happening.
maybe she was a complete cunt off camera, and the condoms were the excuse to get rid of her.
For me, I just hope my wife is a virgin.
The rest(other people) i dun really care.
I think she'll do just fine in porn.
“So it’s not just creepy otaku, our entire society is a bunch of creepy virgin hunters.”
I think this one had to be the first to be highlighted. I do agree with your quote though.
Yup, that is a disturbing comment when you think about it.
^
your avatar is more disturbing i think XD
lol, who cares what she does in her private life? ... man u_u looks like the company doesn't like condoms >: D
They want to increase birthrate, you see.
Condoms prevent that. The hidden message is that every couple in Japan should have 4 kids before they can use condom/take the pill/cut the Fallopian tube/whatever.
Derp.
Oh the fake moralism. No1 ever does anything like making love anyways right? It's dirty. Children come from "wind going under the skirts" right? Freakin retards.
I should be careful to hide the condoms swiftly when I'm buying them so I won't give any1 a chance to take a pic of me holding them and ruin my future.
LoL srsly?
The way this works, is that ALL ex/fired broadcasters (especially news anchors) and pretty much anyone popular in their TV programs get offered huge sums to go and do a porn film for SOD or Muteki.
Considering the scummy guy she was with in the 2nd picture, who knows.
she's still very young and pretty,... lets not count her out just yet.
^_^
Do something Agnes
Seriously FFS it's a goddamn condom. Would you rather her show up on set 9 months later with a baby? Or even worse for "Japanese morals pregnant on set?" Seriously this world is fucked!
seems anything that could b thought as aof sex is bad now adays i mean wth r we back in the 50's?
thats EXACTLY what mainstream Japanese society is conservative 1950's America
good on ya for pointing that out
“If they don’t like it, then they shouldn’t put anyone but virgins and children on TV.”
oooh japan loli and virgin tv.
