Question from readers:
Last year, among the scandals reported regarding Fuwa-chan, Saito Shinji, and Nakai Masahiro, whose news do you think was the most shocking?
Nakai Masahiro’s news was truly shocking
Recently, various celebrity news has been making headlines. When considering the scandals involving Fuwa-chan, Saito Shinji, and Nakai Masahiro, I truly believe that Nakai’s news was the most shocking. He had such a strong image of being “genuine” that I could never have imagined him getting into any trouble.
Did you expect Fuwa-chan?
Regarding Fuwa-chan, her casual demeanor and free-spirited style
gave me a sense that she might get into some trouble someday. When I look at her Instagram, she’s always being playful, so it feels like, “Well, these things happen.” It’s as if everyone around her has gotten used to her character, and that’s part of her charm.
Saito Shinji’s infidelity was a bit surprising
As for Saito Shinji, I suspected that rumors about infidelity or debt could come up. However, given his comedic style and character, it was hard to imagine that side of him, making it a bit surprising. Because he consistently projected a bright image through his comedy, the contrast was shocking.
The moment Nakai’s image was shattered
But Nakai’s news really took me by surprise. He has been at the center of television since the SMAP days, and as a fan, I had a strong sense of trust in him. From his usual demeanor, I never would have imagined something like this happening. As a fan, it felt like a hole opened up in my heart. When I discussed this with friends, we were all like, “I can’t believe Nakai would do something like that!” It’s truly shocking when someone you feel close to does something like that.

Hearing news like this reminds me that celebrities are human too. I can’t help but feel a little uneasy, thinking that my own image could crumble due to some incident.
