Fuji TV announced that seven talents will not be appearing on “Mezamashi TV” after the announcement that Hey! Say! JUMP member Inoo Kei tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Because many of the cast were in close contact with Inoo, they will be absent from the upcoming recording including host Miyake Masaharu.
On Thursday, Japan achieved another record for those testing positive for the novel coronavirus for a third straight day with 46,000 positive cases. Tokyo confirmed 8,638 daily coronavirus cases, eclipsing Wednesday’s record setting 7,377 cases.
