Hiroko Moriguchi Troubled by Rude Passenger on Flight — Warned Him, But “He Started Again”

Singer Hiroko Moriguchi reported on X that her flight to Hokkaido was delayed by an hour and a half, and on top of that, she was bothered by a man seated behind her who kept shaking her seat and otherwise acting inconsiderately. Even after she asked him to stop, it reportedly happened “again and again.” On 5ch, the report drew both sympathy and debate over whether celebrities should call out other passengers’ bad behavior on social media at all, along with plenty of chatter about Moriguchi’s own past.

Hiroko Moriguchi on her flight: “The man behind me…” — annoying behavior “unbearable,” tried asking him to stop but “he started again”

Singer and TV personality Hiroko Moriguchi (58) updated her X account by the 24th, writing about a major flight delay and an incident on board during a trip to Hokkaido.

Moriguchi opened with “Shocking!” and reported that her flight arrived at Chitose Airport an hour and a half late, saying she was “stuck on the plane for 50 minutes before takeoff” — a long wait on board.

A one-hit wonder known only for "With Love to the Water Planet" (her Zeta Gundam ending theme)

Thanks to this guy and Kenji Moriwaki, SMAP actually sold records.

Come on, she's got the F91 theme too!

Looked it up — she's been on Kohaku (NHK's New Year's Eve music special) six times and never once sang the Zeta song, lol

Hiroko Moriguchi has a bit of an awkward relationship with Kuniko Yamada and Miyuki Imori, doesn't she?

They're classmates from Horikoshi (the celebrity high school) — Imori calls Moriguchi by her real name, Hanamura.

Guy: "I used to listen to Pao Pao Station!" (Moriguchi's old late-night radio show)

Had this happen to me on a limited express train too, except the guy also had stinky feet.

Complaints about taxis, planes, bullet trains, restaurants…
Enough already.

This thing where celebrities air other people's annoying behavior on social media
They really shouldn't do it
It's not like it makes them money or improves their image

When a celebrity with a big platform vents about this stuff, it can actually help raise public awareness and manners overall
People rarely get called out on their everyday annoying habits since those around them don't say anything, so they stay oblivious to it
The hard part is knowing where the line is before it just turns into nagging
10Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 11:05:35.02ID:wnfoZ7gy0
Wasn't the guy just big? She's overreacting.
12Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 11:05:49.01ID:Qs+c7EN80
Oh, so Moriguchi's dropping material for us here too now

If he's really that big, I just wish he'd keep out of other people's space.

Nobody deliberately kicks a seat like that
Never seen it happen, never had it happen to me
Though putting the tray table up and down can cause some jolt
16Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 11:07:51.63ID:5vyGcmlb0
Dunno if they got tired of bashing cab drivers, but
celebrities have been making content out of fellow passengers lately

> As a result, she couldn't eat the Jingisukan (grilled mutton dish) she'd been looking forward to, lamenting, "Couldn't get my planned Jingisukan. Bummed."

Hey Sponichi (Sports Nippon)
Maybe proofread before you publish

The real question is whether the guy realized who she was — that changes the whole situation.
25Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 11:13:43.56ID:gvneZnlf0
Impressive that she could actually confront a weirdo like that directly.
27Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 11:15:22.89ID:t9KQkhgR0
She used to mock Gundam songs back in the day, and now she's cozying up to the fandom — that's probably why people don't like her.

Saying stuff like this at her age just makes people think it's either menopause making her oversensitive or she's just full of herself
We're the ones who have to put up with her voice popping up on TV uninvited, you know
38Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 11:19:31.11ID:NM/ZZPSZ0
No talent for writing, this one
Though her improv skills on live TV are pretty impressive
44Anonymous2026/08/24(月) 11:24:34.87ID:4ZNrCgSo0
That kind of thing is usually unconscious
Same as leg-shaking or the guy at the bakery clacking his tongs nonstop
So they should stop once you point it out… probably
Dunno though

They'll stop when you tell them, but people like that always start up again after a while
They say they can't help it, or that it calms them down — but at least they're aware of it in their own way
Still, if they're aware of it, you gotta wonder why they keep doing it…

Happened to catch NHK Nodo Jiman (the amateur singing show) and the song someone performed was wild…

BTW that's a Hyadain (musician/composer) track
