Question from a reader:
There was a time last year when Nakai-san was very thin, and many people were worried he might be ill. Is this related to the recent scandal?
Thoughts on Why Nakai-san Lost Weight
Recently, there has been a lot of discussion about Nakai-san. In particular, during that period last year when he lost so much weight, I
think many fans were concerned. I was one of them. Having gotten used to seeing Nakai-san in good spirits, I was shocked by that change. In my opinion, the reason for his weight loss is indeed related to his hospitalization. I heard that he was hospitalized in 2022, so it’s true that his health was declining. Furthermore, the troubles that followed in 2023 don’t seem like mere coincidence. Perhaps the stress and anxiety from his illness impacted his surroundings as well.
The Subtle Atmosphere at the Gathering
That said, when the topic of the gathering came up, I felt a bit uneasy. It was meant to celebrate Nakai-san’s return, and while everyone was happy to participate, it also created an environment where the victims might feel pressured to attend. I completely understand the feeling of “It’s a celebration, so I have to go!” I was reminded of a time when I felt compelled to attend a friend’s wedding despite not wanting to see someone there. The awkward atmosphere from that occasion is still etched in my memory. I went with a friend, and the moment we arrived, I thought, “This is going to be uncomfortable.” It’s a story I can laugh about now, but it stuck with me.
In Conclusion
Ultimately, I look forward to the day when Nakai-san is back to his energetic self, and we can see him shine on television again. As fans, we wish for his health while hoping he continues to provide us with enjoyable content. Do any of you have a celebrity you’re curious about or a memorable story? Please share in the comments!
