Reader’s Question:
Recently, it seems like Noma Iku has been facing a lot of criticism, and I was wondering if this might change how the media treats her. I feel like there hasn’t been much of a change in her movie promotions or other activities, but what is the reality of the situation?
Recent Topics Surrounding Noma Iku
There have been
various news stories circulating about Noma Iku lately. I’ve even been chatting with friends, wondering, “What will happen with those infidelity allegations?” As someone who enjoys comedy, these kinds of topics can become a bit of material for jokes. I’m good at finding humor in strange places, so my friends often tease me, saying, “You really like this kind of stuff!” Honestly, I initially thought, “Will this affect her activities?” However, it seems like there have been a few advertisements put on hold, and the media’s treatment of her has been rather ambiguous. The uproar started with a report from Weekly Bunshun, but since her agency has denied the allegations, public reactions have been surprisingly calm.
My Thoughts
I feel that these kinds of incidents often blow over quickly. While infidelity is certainly a moral issue, it’s not a significant legal problem. So, I wonder if networks like Fuji TV and TBS are not overly concerned about it. As someone who loves movies and dramas, it would be a bit sad if her projects were to disappear. In Osaka, where I grew up, topics like this often lead friends to gather and discuss. Just the other day, at an izakaya, we were all excitedly debating, “What do you think about the Noma Iku situation?” We ended up having so much fun that we lost track of time and missed the last train home. Having these conversations might be a privilege for us comedy lovers.
