Question from a reader:
When Masahiro Nakai retired from the entertainment industry, Shingo Katori, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Goro Inagaki released a joint statement, but Takuya Kimura did not comment at all. Is Kimura the type who usually refrains from making comments? Or is there a deep rift between him and Nakai?
Thoughts on Takuya Kimura’s Silence
There has been much speculation
about Takuya Kimura’s silence amidst the joint statement from Shingo Katori, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Goro Inagaki when Masahiro Nakai retired. Is it because Kimura is generally a reserved person when it comes to comments, or is there something deeper going on? This certainly raises curiosity. As a fan of SMAP, I am also interested in their relationships. Kimura is often perceived as someone who doesn’t express his emotions openly, so his silence might carry a special significance. Moreover, as reported in magazines, there was a story about Shingo talking about his feelings towards Kimura, which was cut at Nakai’s request, hinting at some complex circumstances.
Individuality in the Backstage and Bonds Among Friends
It is said that the separation of their dressing rooms reflects their strong individuality. Each of them has their own style, and while there may be clashes at times, they remain companions. The story of them taking matching photos against a blue sky when leaving must have been a joyful moment for fans. I’ve had similar experiences with my friends. There was a time when I arrived too early at a friend’s birthday party and ended up eating cake alone while waiting for everyone to arrive (laughs). In that moment, while I felt a bond with my friends, I also experienced a bit of loneliness. Perhaps Kimura feels something similar.
Understanding Comments and Expressions
Celebrities often face criticism for not commenting when someone passes away, but I believe everyone has their own style. How one chooses to express their feelings is a personal choice. Just because Kimura didn’t say anything doesn’t mean he doesn’t value Nakai. I think it’s essential for us to approach others’ opinions and actions with understanding rather than jumping to criticism. What are your thoughts? Please share your memories of Kimura and Nakai, or any stories involving other celebrities in the comments!
