Reader’s Question:
I’m perplexed by the recent string of celebrity scandals. Notably, figures like Matsumoto Hitoshi from Downtown, Fuwa-chan, Saito Shinji from Jungle Pocket, Nakai Masahiro from former SMAP, Hirosue Ryoko, and Mrs. Devi have been reported one after another. I’m curious as to why there are so many. What do you all think about this situation?
Thoughts on Recent Celebrity
Scandals
Lately, there have been numerous reports of scandals in the entertainment industry. It’s truly shocking to see well-known individuals like Matsumoto Hitoshi, Fuwa-chan, Nakai Masahiro, and Hirosue Ryoko being mentioned. As someone who loves comedy and has enjoyed their work, I find it all quite complicated.
The Reality of Performers Being Treated Like Kings
As noted in some user comments, there may be a prevailing sentiment in television production that “performers are treated like kings.” While watching TV, I occasionally catch glimpses of this dynamic. When I see performers making overly free-spirited comments during a program, I can sometimes spot the surrounding staff and associates struggling to suppress their laughter. In those moments, I can’t help but think, “Ah, this is what it means to be a ‘king.'” However, it’s also true that there’s a growing trend of “victims being allowed to speak up.” I believe this is a positive development. I remember going to a comedy show with friends, where the comedians shared their past experiences. It gave me courage, and while we were laughing, I felt I could understand a bit of what they had been carrying.
Personal Experience and Reflection
Though I’m still young, as a father of one, I want to set a good example for my child. Recently, while watching comedy videos with my child, I realized how important laughter is. I hope they learn various things through humor, but I also want to instill values like sincerity and a sense of justice. Moreover, when a scandalous topic arises in front of my child, I find myself wrestling with how to explain it. I want to convey, “Adults shouldn’t do things like this,” but I struggle with how to communicate that effectively. Reflecting on this makes me realize I need to be more mindful of my own actions.
