My translation, with the generous contribution of Takken Taro’s video by @speranzom, of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 12/12 (Thursday).
Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.
- Oricon 2019 Net News Rankings #2 “Yamaguchi Maho”
- “Yamaguchi, ranking at #2, brought together various topics after in January revealing an assault incident, was bolstered by her own tweets and support from all sides, by a letter when she announced her graduation as well as speeches at her graduation performance, in transferring agencies to Ken-On, releasing a photobook, and turning various negatives into positives.”

- NST Niigata General TV: “Google search rankings — And the #1 looked-up word in Niigata is?!”
- Riko’s tweets and a Riko-Pon conversation
- Former Sankei reporter Saegusa, who liked a tweet slandering Maho, is being conceited and suing Youtubers, and is ridiculed by Takken Taro with, “How can he sue when he can’t even get their real names and addresses?”.

- Takken Taro’s video: “Whaaa–!! Secret Night and Corona [note: two Youtube channels covering the case] are being sued by Saigusa [note: former Sankei reporter now defensive of AKS and black members]”
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxr8oQYfno0
- One thing, first of all: “If you feel so inclined to sue, you can just do it, can’t you?”. The right of starting a lawsuit is reserved to anyone.
- Among Japanese people, I imagine there are also people that tend to have a mental image of court trial floating in their minds as somewhat of a grave matter, or as if you have been caught into a serious incident, but in actuality it’s really none of that, I mean.
- When it comes to issues between Youtubers, news of court trials tend to pop up rather often, but there are people who just make a display of court litigation to use them as an intimidation
- “If you don’t wanna get sued, apologize!”, in this sense. Making a threatening display of a SLAPP lawsuit, while in the meantime you brandish a court trial as a means of exercising pressure
- This one is something a thug is expected to do. Saigusa-san is an established journalist and I don’t want to believe he’s just making a threatening ostentation, as if to mean “I’m starting a court trial as a way of suppression”. Though I’m convinced he’s going to sue in any case…
- At the end of the day, it’s not like it makes for such a big threat anyway. Saying “I’ll get you in court!”. “Yeah, what if you do?”, I mean.
— - First off, is lodging a lawsuit all that hard? Is the bar set sufficiently high?
- People who have gone through that (court trials) time and time again would know, but for a lawsuit it’s necessary to have the _name_ and the _address_ [of who you want to sue]. Since the lawsuit complaint needs to be delivered.
- Neither Secret Night, nor I for that matter, are doing things with our real names, so there’s no way but to first guess their real names and the addresses.
- And the personal information of Youtubers are already hard to obtain
- Tachibana-san of N-Koku [note: short for “Protecting our country’s people from NHK Party”] hired a lawyer to file a demand for information disclosure in America, but he got told back that it cannot be publicly disclosed.
- Without knowing the real name and the address of the opposite side of the suit, you can’t get a court trial running after all.
- There’s also one more thing that I recalled. If you have to start a court trial, you’d better present your lawsuit complaint swiftly
- You shouldn’t be declaring on Twitter “I’m thinking of suing”
