If you didn't do it then you are forgiven. If you did then you goofed. Should have just divorced your wife instead of keeping her as a backup if your affair didn't work out....or you should have told her from the beginning that you wanted a harem. Now you got to do all this work to recover everyone's trust.

Heh... I'm not a big fan of this dude. But really, married for 16 years and had an affair with others is just a typical thing nowadays, especially on a celebrity like him.

Too bad, this dude is quite popular, so it may get the Aya Hirano treatment. Will be the talk for about certain months and then will get completely brushed away.

A teenager? Should have learned from Onizuka - look, but don't touch.

Ironically, this also happened while he was voicing Kei Kurono. The age of that teen girl is what is really concerning.

You mean having your agency not allowing you to accept any new role? She did suffer the consequences, but that's a totally different case. She was popular because of her personality and was more close to an idol than a voice actress.

I don't care what he does in his personal life as long as he continues voice acting.

So he didn't deny it, but he didn't confirm it either. Japan's a Guilty Until Proven Innocent place, but has there ever been a scandal where the accused party flatly denies the salacious accusations?

He shouldn't have apologized, the tabloids and newspapers often resort to scummy to outright tyrannical means to smear an innocent idol or seiyuu for extra money. This is no exception.

Since his fanbase are mostly women, his popularity will definetly go down.
If he really did have a relationship with this girl, which he likely did, well, I can't help but feel a little disgusted myself. Betrayal is never something "normal" or "to be expected", even if you're famous.

If he actually had an affair, then he isn't exactly innocent.

Is it bad I find it funny the VA for Yu Narukami had an afffair? Considering what the Persona games allow you to do when it comes to relationships I find this very ironic.

Well, they didn't quote her age at all, so it is not that concerning.

Hopefully this unfortunate situation concerning Mr. Namikawa-san's past will eventually blow over before it gets too wild...
