Actor Jiro Sato (57) updated his X account on the night of the 25th, mentioning a film so wonderful that he was fiercely “jealous” of the entire cast.
Sato opened his post with “‘Rage’.” He appears to be referring to the 2016 film “Rage” (directed by Sang-il Lee), which starred an all-star lineup including Ken Watanabe, Mirai Moriyama, Kenichi Matsuyama, Go Ayano, Suzu Hirose, Aoi Miyazaki, and Satoshi Tsumabuki.
Does he have some kind of disease where he physically can't stay quiet?

Honestly, it really is a sickness — the kind where you have to put it out in public just to confirm it to yourself. For some reason, once "trauma" is invoked, everyone else's rights just get suspended — that's a standard Fuji TV made up on its own. It's just a sickness, plain and simple.

I don't really get it — why exactly is it bad for him to speak up?

Not that I'm defending this guy, but come on, let him have an ordinary tweet like this.
What is with this guy — meanwhile Hashimoto is out there suffering…

Did he have some kind of awakening watching the scene where Suzu Hirose gets raped by a US soldier?
16Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 07:46:55.76ID:s1q2Zls60
So basically, he's just decided it's fine to keep posting on X as usual, huh.

For now they should at least bind him to keep quiet whenever "Bayside Shakedown" (the "Odoru" franchise) is playing in theaters, right? They should lean on his agency if that's what it takes to shut him up…
26Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 07:51:15.89ID:ZfphGem30
Won't his agency just confiscate his phone?
29Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 07:52:59.77ID:d45ll16V0
Didn't he say he quit social media?
32Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 07:53:17.05ID:KXWePrbH0
Turning every little thing into an article like this is what makes it look weird. Just leave him alone if he's posting harmless stuff on X.
37Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 07:56:32.08ID:jDVJpFUg0
Doesn't he get how huge a nuisance it is to have this guy calling him out by name? "I praised you *glance glance* now notice me, defend me *glance glance*."
38Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 07:58:35.32ID:1gBSaBCT0
So what was that blood-red '怒' ("Rage") character about in the end? Classic attention-seeker "look how angry I am" theatrics?
40Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:00:51.40ID:cuoN9ksZ0
I'm not saying he needs to fix his impulsiveness or need for validation or anything, but if you do something that upsets someone else, you should at least apologize.
43Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:01:20.27ID:q0zxWb6F0
"Look at me, I'm so wonderful for praising someone!!" — that's basically it. It's always the same with him, always about himself in the end.
47Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:05:23.31ID:+pxzWyxy0
So even a tweet at the level any random celebrity posts on social media all the time gets him dragged, lol
50Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:06:55.51ID:ux8GLzqc0
>>47
Isn't he just getting dragged because he already did something regular celebrities wouldn't do?
52Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:07:50.70ID:SKT6FVKU0

Honestly his agency should just make him lay off social media.
48Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:06:02.68ID:3Y/mqfTn0
I don't know anything about this guy besides his face — what's he actually known for?
49Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:06:32.89ID:1MHI+dvC0
It's common sense that when you've caused a stir and drawn attention, you lie low and wait for it to blow over. If Sato and everyone else involved can't grasp that, they're either sick in the head or just lack common sense…
And honestly, him continuing to tweet is only making things worse, right?
51Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:07:25.95ID:msfIb4GU0
He wraps it up on a positive note with "Bravo!", but the word "jealous" is what really jumps out. Might have something to do with the string of posts he's made lately too.
53Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:08:09.89ID:nI4FaN540
shit! shit! shit!
55Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:08:58.56ID:/eIqkRco0
The cast is stacked, but honestly this movie was boring.
60Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:12:45.73ID:ailN8aeY0
The people dragging Sato over this whole thing keep chanting "shut up" and "say nothing" for some reason. That's such a weirdly specific reaction — what's that even about?
65Anonymous2026/08/25(火) 08:14:40.96ID:1MHI+dvC0

No, it's that people are watching Sato self-destruct and are just exasperated, thinking "you'd really better stop now"… If you can't see that, something's off with you too…
