Analyzing Furuichi Noritoshi's Defense of Nakai Masahiro: Is It Genuine Support or a Request for Loyalty?

Analyzing Furuichi Noritoshi’s Defense of Nakai Masahiro: Is It Genuine Support or a Request for Loyalty?

Question from a reader:
Is it possible that Furuichi Noritoshi has been repeatedly posting in defense of Nakai Masahiro at Nakai’s request? I was a bit surprised to see Furuichi’s comments regarding the sexual violence issue between Nakai and a former female announcer from Fuji TV, where he mentioned that “the credibility of the third-party committee could be compromised” and referred
to it as a “misunderstanding of a breakup.” Additionally, I’ve heard that he sent a questionnaire to X’s attorney. While this might fall within the realm of free speech, it feels a bit too intrusive to me. Some suggest he might be doing this at Nakai’s request; what do you all think?

Considering the relationship between Furuichi Noritoshi and Nakai Masahiro

Recently, I was taken aback by Furuichi Noritoshi’s comments defending Nakai Masahiro. In particular, his remarks regarding the sexual violence issue involving Nakai and the former Fuji TV announcer struck me as a bit too much. When I read phrases like “the credibility of the third-party committee could be compromised” and “misunderstanding of a breakup,” I couldn’t help but do a double-take, thinking, “Really?” I personally love comedy and stand-up, and I think it would be entertaining if we could turn such topics into humor, but given the serious nature of this issue, it’s quite heavy. Moreover, hearing about Furuichi sending a questionnaire to X’s attorney made me question whether this truly falls under the category of free speech. However, from my experience, human relationships can be surprisingly complex. For instance, when I attend a friend’s wedding, I sometimes end up arriving early and inadvertently helping with the preparations. That can be quite stressful! And sometimes, arriving too early leads to overindulging in snacks and ending up too full to enjoy the festivities (laughs). Hearing this, I wonder if Furuichi has some underlying reason for supporting Nakai. I totally understand that feeling of not wanting to refuse a friend’s request. Perhaps there is a trust relationship between Nakai and Furuichi.
