The February 17 issue of &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; reported on the daddyhood affair of Masanori Hamada of the comedy duo &#8220;Downtown,&#8221; which was widely circulated on the Internet and other media. According to the article, Hamada has a regular on-location show in Osaka, but when he came to Osaka, he met secretly with Ms. A, who worked at a major esthetic salon, several times in &#8217;18-&#8217;19 at a luxury hotel in Umeda.

 When he was caught on Friday having a secret meeting with a gravure idol in &#8217;14, his wife Natsumi Ogawa posted on her blog, &#8220;I have become a dejected gorilla,&#8221; showing that she had plenty of time to spare. This time, however, she has remained silent on social networking sites such as Instagram&#8230;&#8221; (Women&#8217;s magazine reporter)
Since the latest affair was in 2006, it means that four years after the previous affair was reported, he was having an affair again.
 Since the first affair, Mr. Hamada has shown signs of remorse and made a conscious effort to show that the relationship between the families was good, letting the media cameras take pictures of the family traveling together to Hawaii on New Year&#8217;s Day and appearing on Ms. Ogawa&#8217;s SNS. Perhaps he thought he wouldn&#8217;t be noticed in Osaka because few weekly newspapers and other media followed them.
 Mr. Hamada is a manly man, and he gives young comedians around him a good time, including money and women. That is probably why the younger comedians are also preparing women for Mr. Hamada, who is a &#8220;big man.
However, if the adulterer himself wants to expose the affair with evidence, there is nothing he can do. Speaking of adultery, Un-jash&#8217;s Watabe is still being kept out of the TV industry, but in Hamada&#8217;s case, will he hold a press conference or apologize?

 The program staff laughed when they saw the article, but of course, no program would report the scandal involving Mr. Hamada, the head of Yoshimoto Kogyo. Conversely, there is a level of &#8220;no notification from the top,&#8221; such as from the programming department.
 Even if they didn&#8217;t bother to tell us, we would just say, &#8220;They wouldn&#8217;t report a scandal involving Downtown, would they?&#8221; It was the same with the previous affair. It was the same with the previous affair. Naturally, it is unthinkable that Mr. Hamada would hold a press conference or that Yoshimoto would comment. The only person in the world who could tease Mr. Hamada would be Hitoshi Matsumoto. (A person involved in a wide-ranging TV show)
In addition, on the Internet, Mr. Takizawa Galeso, a well-known exposé-type tweeter who in the past has independently released audio of Mariko Shinoda&#8217;s marital kenga, also touched on Hamada&#8217;s infidelity.
 In dealing with Hamada&#8217;s infidelity, Takizawa posted the following: &#8220;Takizawa-san has also received a tip, but since Natsumi Ogawa-san is also out playing, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a problem, especially at home.
 Does this mean that Ms. Ogawa has a lot of friends and is stretching her wings by playing outside without worrying about her husband, or does she have the same &#8220;fun&#8221; as Ms. Hamada? What does it mean? It will be interesting to see if there will be any further news. (A reporter from a sports newspaper)
So far, there has been no movement such as refraining from activities or dropping commercials, as is the case with &#8220;ordinary celebrities.
On the &#8220;Wide Nah Show&#8221; (Fuji TV) broadcast on the 19th, the comments of his partner Hitoshi Matsumoto, who was scheduled to appear, attracted much attention, but he cancelled his appearance due to health problems. Hamada&#8217;s future comments will be closely watched.

 For the first time in eight years, "Downtown" Masanori Hamada is causing a stir with his report of an affair. This time, his wife, Natsumi Ogawa, as well as Yoshimoto Kogyo, have so far kept a low profile. Will his partner, Hitoshi Matsumoto, break the silence?

Masanori Hamada’s “Papa’s Affair” Report Is an Absolute “NG” on TV, and “Only Hitoshi Matsumoto Can Tease Him” Is the Industry’s Judgment.
