The story
Shukan Bunshun teased a scoop article titled “Samurai Japan Player’s Intimate Photos With Beer Vendor Girl,” set to go live on September 9, 2026 at 12:00 PM, sparking a wave of reactions on 5ch’s “Geinou/Sports Breaking News+” board. The player’s real name has not been revealed yet, and the thread was full of speculation tossing around names like Genda and Kiyota. The debate centered on a divide between those defending the pair — arguing there’s no problem if both are single — and those who said it’s a different story if infidelity or underage drinking is involved, with plenty of cold reactions pointing out just how “minor” Bunshun’s scoop actually is.

What people said
What if it's Kiyota?
Actually, even if it is, that's their own business — leave them be anyway.

Both sides take that job to hook up anyway.
Quit yapping about it.
"Both sides" lol
You think ballplayers go pro with that mindset?
Nah, if there's a 30+ year age gap that's a problem lol. What, a lolicon?
He was picked for a reinforcement/national-team squad or something, wasn't he.
Though if it were a scoop with Maria Makino, I'd welcome it.
Just leave them alone.
Was there some internal rule banning contact (and photos too)?
Enough with Ohtani already.
I'm sick of it.
The "Bunshun Cannon" reputation is basically something the public built up themselves.
If it's Genda, it's a festival.

Story that beer vendor girls get made to work something like hostess-bar floor staff after the game ends
Nice find (´・ω・`) — how do you even dig this stuff up, way too horny
At Tokyo Dome especially, plenty of them look way too good to be regular people.
I'm the type who gets depressed watching a hot girl I could never date wander around right in front of me.
Just go read "Catch Me at the Ballpark!" I guess (a manga about romances between players and ballpark staff)
Position players have no chance, but a reliever might be able to call out to her from the bullpen.
Carrying that heavy beer keg up and down the stairs is rough work.
And you have to do it smiling the whole time, without ever looking like it hurts.
Background and Key Points of This Topic
The “Bunshun Cannon” often follows a pattern: the day before publication, it teases the target and content in vague terms on social media, then reveals the name when the full issue drops the next day. This time too, the player’s name remains withheld — the names Genda and Kiyota that circulated in the thread were nothing more than speculation, not confirmed information. Opinion split between those defending the pair with “it’s fine if both are single” and those offering conditional acceptance with “unless it involves infidelity or underage drinking, that’s a different story” — and reactions ran noticeably hotter or cooler depending on whether the player in question was married or single. Some replies also referenced an actual 2023 news report (with a link to a Yahoo News article) about former Lotte player Ikuhiro Kiyota being reported as dating a beer vendor girl — worth noting that this is a separate incident from the current teaser. The beer vendor girl seen in the photo is a private individual whose name has not been disclosed, and within the thread, “just leave them alone” was a notably common sentiment regarding whether the story should even be published.
