I really hope this leads to actual accountability in the industry.

| Quote: | | Fuji TV's sponsorship drought came after the Weekly Bunshun magazine reported former SMAP member Masahiro Nakai engaged in nonconsensual sexual activities with a woman in June 2023, resulting in a 90 million yen (about US$580,000) out-of-court settlement. Weekly Bunshun also reported Fuji TV staff was involved with the incident, although the magazine later said the woman was not initially invited to the gathering by a Fuji TV official as it had reported in December. In the aftermath, Fuji TV president Koichi Minato and Fuji Media Holdings Inc. chairman Shuji Kano resigned their positions. |
So basically one person committed a sexual act, and now the whole TV network and all the sponsors are being affected? That’s kind of ridiculous. How about holding the actual person who committed the crime accountable instead?

I hope all the sponsors come back. This controversy is overblown, and it’s really time to move on.

You mean Masahiro Nakai should be the one held accountable?

You’re overlooking the fact that there are reports establishing that others were either involved in some of the shady shit going on behind the scenes or knew about and did nothing. You either haven’t been paying attention to the news or just trolling.

Masahiro Nakai wasn't the only one who did this. He was just the first one who was caught.
