I’ve been listening to some Kishidan lately and started thinking about DJ OZMA, lead singer Ayanokoji Sho's alter ego. If you’re not familiar with the DJ OZMA persona, he mainly performed covers of JPop and KPop songs and was known for his wild live performances and MVs. At live events, he performed with the DJ OZMA Family, which included several vocalists and dancers. DJ OZMA was active from 2006 – 2008 and has reappeared a few times since then.
While I was going through OZMA’s Wikipedia page, I realized it’s been a little over 10 yrs since his infamous performance at the 57th Kohaku Uta Gassen, NHK’s annual year-end song festival. I did a quick search and couldn’t find a post about it. It’s a little late, but I thought I’d give it a mention.
Here are the details from DJ OZMA's Wikipedia page:
“Ozma first came to prominence in early 2006 and is notorious for his performance at the 57th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, during which his female dancers stripped themselves of their outer clothing on stage to reveal unitards painted to resemble the nude female body while wearing a patch resembling a mushroom which covered the genitals. The station had to later clarify, in light of complaints, that the dancers were clothed, despite their appearance. For this performance, Ozma received a lifetime ban from performing at the NHK.”

The page from the event goes into greater detail about the incident and it's fallout if you want some further reading:
