The story
Garshee — a former House of Councillors member now working as a rakugo performer and influencer — announced on X (formerly Twitter) on the 30th that he had severed ties with an acquaintance. His post griped, “It’s already wrong enough to go over my head and ask someone for a favor, but then you don’t even report back that you asked.” On 5ch, though, the dominant take was that it wasn’t Garshee who cut ties — he’s the one who got quietly dropped. Some pointed out that the wording of his post was hard to follow, while others brought up the viewer counts on his livestreams, with attention turning to what he’s currently up to.
Garshee Reports Cutting Ties: “For the first time in a while, I properly cut someone off”
Garshee, an influencer who is also a former House of Councillors member and rakugo performer, updated X on the 30th, writing that he had cut ties with an acquaintance.
Garshee opened with: “It’s already wrong to go over my head and ask for a favor, but on top of that, you don’t even report back that you asked. And on top of that, you go ask someone you’ve barely even met. Why would that person say yes? Because of my relationship with them!!”

What people said
And this is the guy who relentlessly attacked Go Ayano and Shun Oguri, remember
That said, watching from the sidelines like that "short sleeper" guy is kind of entertaining (a nickname for a certain online personality).
If someone cuts you off clean, you should be thanking them
The other day I went to Katsuya for the curry Garshee's apparently a fan of
It was pricey but tasty
Nobody cares about your personal anecdotes though
Can you really still rack up pageviews just by dropping Garshee's name?
All I remember is that he's a criminal
He said Shinsuke told him at the time, "If you're ever at the point of taking your own life, feel free to use me as material and say whatever you want about me instead."
That's genuinely a good guy
October 21
TikTok livestream, 422 concurrent viewers
Aren't like 100 of those just media people gathering material for stories?
Is it some kind of cursed restaurant or something lol
It was genuinely good though. A bit too pricey, but still
Making a big announcement every time you cut someone off is kind of a girly thing to do lol
"It's already wrong to go over my head and ask for a favor, but on top of that, you don't even report back that you asked. And on top of that, you go ask someone you've barely even met. Why would that person say yes? Because of my relationship with them!!"
Isn't his Japanese really bad?
Does anyone actually understand what he's trying to say here?
I think he just means 'go through me first'
That was peak Garshee
It was funny that Sakurako Ohara came to watch
Background and Key Points of This Story
Garshee was elected to the House of Councillors on the NHK Party ticket, but was expelled after repeatedly skipping Diet sessions while staying abroad, and was later arrested, indicted, and convicted on extortion charges. That background is why comments like “all I remember is that he’s a criminal” showed up in the thread. Opinions split over how to read his claim of having “cut ties” this time: many speculated — based on his track record of breaking off numerous relationships himself — that he was actually the one who got cut off, while a notable number of commenters instead pointed to his past attacks exposing Go Ayano and Shun Oguri and criticized how hard his post was to follow. He’s currently focused mainly on TikTok livestreams and rakugo performances, but with concurrent viewer counts on his streams only reaching the low hundreds, the gap with his former fame has also become part of the discussion.
