Hiroshi Sasaki, the creative director who is in charge of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, has proposed a production plan that makes female talents look like pigs, "Bunharu Online" reports, and the Games Organizing Committee confirms the facts. He said, "If it is a fact, it is inappropriate and very regrettable. It is a statement that can be regarded as a woman's disdain."
About Mr. Sasaki, the creative director who is in charge of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Tokyo tournament, "Bungei Online" was held on the 17th, and in March of last year, Mr. Sasaki exchanged female talent on SNS of the tournament's production team. We have posted an article saying that we proposed a production plan that looks like this and withdrew due to the opposition of the members.
Regarding this, Masanori Takaya, a spokesperson for the Organizing Committee, said that the Organizing Committee was confirming the facts with Mr. Sasaki and said, "If the content of the article is true, it is inappropriate and very regrettable. I think it's unavoidable to be perceived as mocking the person in his remarks. "
Based on the confirmation, the Organizing Committee will hold a press conference with Chairman Hashimoto on the 18th.
At the Organizing Committee, former Chairman Mori resigned last month taking responsibility for the remarks that can be taken as women's disdain, and his successor, Chairman Hashimoto, set up a promotion team to tackle gender equality, etc. We are aiming for materialization.
