Reader’s Question:
Regarding the infidelity reports about Nagano Mei, I believe that Tanaka Kei’s image has also suffered. However, isn’t it true that Nagano-san has been more severely affected? It seems to me that Tanaka-san has a lesser impact. What do you think?
Considering the Infidelity Reports of Nagano Mei and Tanaka Kei
Recently, the infidelity reports about Nagano Mei have
become a hot topic, and there seems to be an opinion that Tanaka Kei is also affected. However, personally, I believe that Nagano-san has suffered more. The reason is that she has a pure image.
The Power of Image
Nagano-san has appeared in many commercials as a pure actress, and this image has supported her career. However, this report has shattered that image. Tanaka Kei, on the other hand, already has a reputation as a “big cheater,” so it seems that people are not as shocked, or rather, they perceive it as “here we go again.” Of course, infidelity is not acceptable for either, but the difference in their images likely plays a role. As someone studying psychology at university, I understand that the impact of one’s image on others is significant. Especially for celebrities, their work is often influenced by their image. Since Nagano-san has built a large fanbase with her purity, the damage to her image from this incident is a considerable blow.
Personal Reactions
When I discussed this topic with friends, we agreed that once a pure image is tarnished, fans tend to drift away. A friend expressed concern, saying, “I used to look forward to seeing her commercials; I wonder what will happen now.” Personally, I don’t watch much TV, but I felt a sense of comfort when I saw Nagano-san in commercials, so I’m worried about her change. Thinking about it, the power of image might not only be applicable to the entertainment industry but could be common across various professions. I work part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, and I feel that trust and integrity are crucial. No matter how skilled you are, a negative image can certainly affect your work.
