I watched the media circus on this over the last few days on several Japanese morning shows. This guy is a piece a trash and I doubt he'll be able to get any work going forward unless it's a factory job. Good riddance.

This is the awesome part of Japanese culture. Celebrities actually face consequences for their crimes.

Wow, he admitted to the allegations and felt compelled to retire from entertainment.

It would be great if some of the celebrities in the USA who are confronted with damning evidence of their horrible behavior towards others would do the same.

This case appears to be someone not only harming others directly but harming the reputation of those actors and singers who take being a role model seriously as part of what goes with being associated with the hero characters.

Well, first you'd have to get people to stop worshiping celebrities and acting like they're Gods and maybe they'd learn to be more humble.
