Question from a reader:
Is there a possibility that Takahira Kuruma from Reiwa Roman and Kazunobu Kubota from Toro Salmon will retire?
Considering the Possibility of Retirement
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion surrounding Takahira Kuruma from Reiwa Roman and Kazunobu Kubota from Toro Salmon. In particular, Kubota’s online casino usage issue has garnered significant attention. Although he cooperated
with police questioning, he denies using the online casino. Given these circumstances, many believe there is no reason for him to retire, and I share that sentiment. On the other hand, Takahira’s situation will likely be greatly influenced by the prosecutor’s judgment. At this time, the possibility of retirement cannot be ruled out. This is indeed a complex issue. It evokes complicated feelings to think that their existence as “idols” or “comedians” could be threatened by legal issues.
Between Law and Emotion
Reflecting on it, my sensitivity to such issues has heightened since I became involved in the legal field. During my school days, I often spent time at cafes chatting with friends, and when legal topics came up, everyone’s reactions were fascinating. I particularly enjoyed the moments when friends without legal knowledge would ask, “What happens in this case?” By sharing my knowledge, I could feel a sense of purpose in my presence. Recently, I’ve also been working part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, and sometimes I find myself grappling with the complexities of the law. During those times, when my colleagues incorporate humor into legal discussions, it eases the tension. While law often carries a stiff image, it frequently intertwines with human emotions and motivations. Therefore, I believe it is essential to approach such topics with not only a legal perspective but also an emotional one.
Share Your Experiences
There are likely various opinions and thoughts regarding the possibility of retirement. How does everyone feel about this? As a fan, it’s disheartening to think that figures like Takahira and Kubota could change due to legal issues. It is truly painful when people we admire might disappear for some reason. I would love to hear everyone’s experiences and opinions on this topic. Whether from a legal perspective or an emotional viewpoint, all insights are welcome. Please share your thoughts in the comments section. I hope that by sharing our views, we can deepen our understanding of this issue, even just a little.
