Question from a reader:
Regarding Masahiro Nakai, I have respect for him even after his retirement, but I believe the troubles he caused are inexcusable. Recently, I’ve seen news suggesting that he is feeling distressed, and I wonder if he is okay physically and mentally.
Thoughts on Masahiro Nakai
Lately, I can’t help but think about Masahiro Nakai. Even after his
retirement, his influence and presence remain unchanged, and I feel he is still a special figure. However, it’s concerning to hear reports about his distress. To be honest, while there are parts of his troubles that I can’t forgive, the joy and energy he brought to us are truly significant, which makes my feelings quite complicated.
Phone Call with Tsurube
When I saw the news that Tsurube called Nakai, I thought, “Wow, it’s great to have friends!” With a long-time partner by his side and having assets, I believe he can live comfortably after retiring. The support from his friends is also substantial, and it seems he could explore various behind-the-scenes opportunities. I’ve even heard of former Johnny’s members becoming hosts, so he might find a new path as well.
Credibility of Online News
That said, online news often tends to exaggerate. Watching recent reports makes it hard to determine what is true. I often wonder how much of the conflicts with friends or stories about his private life are genuine. However, if I think about it calmly, online news frequently embellishes for the sake of increasing views, so it might not be necessary to worry too much.
In Conclusion
Regardless, Nakai has brought laughter to many people, and I hope he regains his energy and embarks on something new. I would love to see him overcome life’s challenges and discover a new version of himself. Do you have any stories or memories about Nakai or your favorite comedians?
