Masaharu Fukuyama talked about the ghost writer accusations being thrown his way recently on his radio program.
Fukuyama has announced that his 11th original album -- his first in 5 years --titled HUMAN (2-disc), will be released in April this year. And 2 songs from his upcoming album which have already been released digitally have ranked 1st and 2nd in Recochoku's Chakuuta ranking for 2/19~2/25.
But a lot have been questioning if Fukuyama really has the capacity to write all these songs despite all his drama and movie roles. There was also an incident when Keisuke Kuwata of Southern All Stars joked on his radio program Keisuke Kuwata no Yasashii Yoasobi (TOKYO FM) that "of course, everyone has a ghost writer. We even have that in Amuse". Again, he insisted that this was a joke, but did mention Fukuyama's and BEGIN's names, which has led to further speculation.
Fukuyama seems to be aware of these allegations as he talked about this on his radio program Fukuyama Masaharu no All Night Nippon Saturday Special - Tamashii no Radio (Nippon Housou), revealing that "there are people who have been searching [Fukuyama (space) Ghostwriter] on the Internet these days".
He emphasized that he even played almost all the guitar parts on his upcoming album and how he was very particular about the minor details and fine tuning until the very end.
There are a lot of singer-songwriters rumored to have ghost writers following the Samuragochi incident, and people were expecting an avalanche of revelations to come, but a lot of the truth is still left in the dark.
