Johnny Kitagawa’s child sexual abuse was confirmed in a trial over gossip magazine reports.
Johnny & Associates, which continued to have him involved with minors for over 15 years, engaged in organized child sexual exploitation and should be defined as a mafia.
Therefore, all organizations that did business with the company, including ISPs, universities, UMG, and Nintendo, should be defined as affiliated with the mafia.
The only independent search engines that support my native Japanese are Google, Bing, Brave, and Yep.
Of these, I generally search using Brave, and if I’m not satisfied with the results, I search again using DuckDuckGo.
I don’t use Yep because of its strict bot restrictions.
Also, on the rare occasions when I need to do an exact match or a search using site:, for some reason, Brave and DuckDuckGo are useless, so I reluctantly use Google, which is a shame.
As someone living in Japan, I do not recommend QWant, which is recommended in this comment section.
As I’ve commented before, this is because the service geoblocks countries that have non-Western languages as their official languages.
Drama: Oshin (JP, 1983-1984)
Animation: Shaun the Sheep (UK, 2007-present)
Kids: ETV 0655&2355 (JP, 2010-present)
Special program: TV’s TV (JP, 1987)
Of these, the one I particularly recommend is “TV’s TV.”
This is a program in which 100 TV channels each contain small video content, which is randomly introduced within a single TV program, an idea that was around 20 years ahead of YouTube.
There’s also an anecdote that Satoshi Tajiri, who would later create Pokémon, was involved in the production of this program.
