Tatsuya Fukazawa expresses desire to work with Hiroiki Ariyoshi following social media dispute

A social media controversy has emerged following a broadcast of the TV Tokyo variety program ‘Ariyoshi Eeeeee!’. After comedian Hiroiki Ariyoshi teased Snow Man member Tatsuya Fukazawa during the September 27 episode, some fans criticized the interaction on X, calling it unkind and requesting that Fukazawa no longer appear on the show.

Ariyoshi responded to one of these critical posts by stating, “I will tell him never to appear again,” a remark that garnered tens of millions of views. While the response sparked debate regarding celebrities interacting with critical users, Fukazawa addressed the situation indirectly via Instagram Stories.

Fukazawa posted that he enjoyed the episode and expressed a desire to work with Ariyoshi again, stating, “Please let’s do it again. I want to work with you!” His message of professional interest stood in contrast to the fan demands, and he is scheduled to appear on the program again on October 4.
