Josei Jishin & Flash are tabloids published by Kobunsha (光文社). Medvedeva’s exclusive interviews & photoshoot
with Flash & Josei Jishin took place on June 19, the day domestic travel restrictions to Saitama from other prefectures were lifted & one reason why it’s controversial that Medvedeva had been training at the rink where she was interviewed.
Some actions by Josei Jishin concerning Hanyu & Medvedeva:
2018
Published photos secretly taken of Hanyu & his mom at a hotel lobby in Tokyo after he returned from the Olympics.
Tailed Hanyu to a hospital. Reported about what time he was there, how long he was there, & that

Published an article claiming Medvedeva left Eteri for Orser not only because she didn’t win gold at the Olympics, but because she has a crush on Hanyu & has been trying to get closer to him & wants to live in the same building as him. Suggested their relationship would
grow closer. The insinuations in the article upset Hanyu enough for him to bring it up to the press (unprompted) after a FaOI performance: https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/201805250001005.html">https://www.nikkansports.com/sports/ne...

Stalked Hanyu at FaOI, though was unable (I think) to get photos of him on tour unlike the previous year. While the show was in Sendai, a taxi driver said Hanyu was unable to go home because there were people hanging around his home.

Both Medvedeva interviews were published at 18:00 yesterday, 3 hours before the TV special with Hanyu & Marin aired, & the same day that Mao appeared on Gretel no Kamado.
Medvedeva has spoken to numerous mainstream Japanese sports reporters over the years. During this stay,
Medvedeva has spoken to numerous mainstream Japanese sports reporters over the years. During this stay,
her mother said that they’d been advised not to speak to the media. It’s perplexing that Medvedeva & her team chose to go to the tabloids now & to these particular two. It’s obvious what they are just from their covers & NSFW photo spreads. I mean, just look at the cover of
the latest issue of Flash.
(Funnily, one of the top stories in that issue is about actor/idol Yuya Tegoshi, who was heavily condemned for ignoring COVID guidelines & is now no longer a member of boy group News or talent agency Johnny’s.)

(I’m probably not going to keep this particular tweet with the Flash cover up long. It’s too embarrassing, lol, but you get the idea.)
