He responded to the press with a divine response.</figcaption></figure>
<p> On February 25, Jin Akanishi and Meisa Kuroki reported on their respective Instagram Stories that they had divorced. Both surprised their fans.</p>
<p> Speaking of Akanishi, on December 17, 2011, his appearance on the talk variety show &#8220;Matsumo to Nakai&#8221; (Fuji TV), hosted by Hitoshi Matsumoto of &#8220;Downtown&#8221; and Masahiro Nakai, had just made headlines.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> During the program, Akanishi expressed his gratitude to Nakai for <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;saving his</span> life,&#8221; because he had received a New Year&#8217;s gift from Nakai through a person after he became independent from the then Johnny&#8217;s office in &#8217;14.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He said, &#8220;After I became independent, there were people who left me. There were times when it was a little difficult for me. At that time, Nakai gave me a New Year&#8217;s gift through someone. （Even though I had quit the office. （He gave me New Year&#8217;s gifts for two or three years after that.</span></p>
<p> I couldn&#8217;t thank him at all.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I couldn&#8217;t thank him at all. That (New Year&#8217;s gift) saved me a lot. It saved me when I was lonely.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> While Akanishi could not stop overflowing with feelings, the shy Nakai said, &#8220;Oh, I see,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Oh, is that so?&#8221;</span></p>
<p> Akanishi was very happy to meet Nakai at that time. Akanishi also revealed that he tried to express his gratitude directly to Nakai at the time, but Nakai&#8217;s manager turned him down, <span class="strongInContent">saying, &#8220;Nakai is shy about such things</span>.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The chief manager of &#8220;SMAP&#8221; at that time was Mr. Michitomo Iijima, the current president of &#8220;New Map. Even within the former Johnny&#8217;s office, &#8216;SMAP&#8217; was said to be a separate company, and in fact, there was a separate company headed by Mr. Iijima.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It has been a long time since Johnny&#8217;s Jr. stopped backing them for concerts, and there were almost no junior visitors until Mr. Iijima took charge of Tokyo Johnny&#8217;s Jr. so the two groups were not related to each other at all. I was surprised that he gave a New Year&#8217;s gift to Mr. Akanishi, who was the first to leave &#8220;KAT-TUN. &#8230;&#8230; Once again, I was surprised by Nakai&#8217;s kindness,&#8221; said a sports newspaper reporter who is a member of Janis.</span></p>
<p> Speaking of his most beloved junior members, &#8220;Kis-My-Ft2&#8221; is well known.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Kindness shown to the members of Kis-My-Ft2"></div>
<div class="expapp-yahoo-paragraph-break"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">Hiromitsu Kitayama, Taisuke Fujigaya, and Yuta Tamamori were referred to as the &#8220;front three,&#8221; while Kennaga Senga, Toshiya Miyata, Wataru Yokoo, and Takatsugu Nikaido were referred to as the &#8220;back four,&#8221; with differences ranging from costume color to song assignments and number of solo jobs. No other group in the past has been so blatantly differentiated.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It is a well-known story that Nakai came forward to produce the &#8220;back four&#8221; and &#8220;Maisai-gumi&#8221; was born, and the four became regulars on &#8220;UTAGE! After the debut of &#8220;Maisai-gumi,&#8221; Nakai gave each member a &#8220;high-end suit that I could never buy for myself&#8221; (according to Nikaido). Each suit was a different brand and was the perfect size, and everyone around them was amazed at the attention to detail.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> (Idol magazine writer) &#8220;Not only the &#8216;back four&#8217; but also the &#8216;front three&#8217; were given white microphones for all seven members of &#8216;Kiss Mai,&#8217; and the members use the microphones in their important shows.</p>
<p> Furthermore, when &#8220;SMAP&#8221; broke up, Nakai gave the members luxury-brand bags, and Nakai&#8217;s standard gift to thank the members for the programs they appear in is a yakiniku bento box from &#8220;Jyo-en&#8221; and a sandwich from &#8220;Akatombo&#8221;.</p>
<p> In fact, Nakai&#8217;s thoughtfulness and gifts are not limited to his regular programs or to his juniors in the former Johnny&#8217;s office.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> On &#8220;Masahiro Nakai&#8217;s Friday Smile Tatakas&#8221; (TBS), Nakai sometimes invites as guests celebrities who have overcome illnesses or are battling illnesses. It seems that Mr. Nakai always sends an air purifier to the hospital room of guests who are scheduled to be hospitalized in the near future.</span></p>
<p> A staff member of a variety show said, &#8220;Nakai-san always sends an air purifier to the hospital room of a guest who is scheduled to be hospitalized.</p>

<div class="expapp-yahoo-paragraph-break"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">I was surprised at all the people I had no personal relationships with. I was surprised that all of them were not related to me to send me such expensive sympathy. It seems that Akira Hokuto and Chiemi Hori have also received sympathy from Mr. Nakai.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Probably, they ask the stylists in charge of the celebrities and artists to do so. If they are stylists, they know the detailed sizes of the members&#8217; clothes and shoes. As in the case of Akanishi&#8217;s New Year&#8217;s gift, the managers are quick to respond to Nakai&#8217;s requests. This is also a result of his personality.</span></p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> On the other hand, he seems to be completely indifferent to his own fashion and private life. He has a luxury watch, but I think he has been wearing his &#8220;J12 White&#8221; watch from Chanel, which he bought at Isetan Shinjuku, for almost 20 years now. She must have a lot of things.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Masahiro Nakai, who is a &#8220;godly man&#8221; to everyone around him, fell ill last year and was even hospitalized. Not only his fans but also many big-name celebrities were worried about him, but they are said to have said in unison, &#8220;Nakai-kun, you should be by his side.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Nakai-kun would feel safer if he had a partner by his side to take care of him. &#8230;&#8230;</span></p>
<p> However, Nakai, a self-proclaimed &#8220;marriage-incompatible&#8221; person, <span class="strongInContent">said, &#8220;I can&#8217;t see myself living with him&#8230;&#8221; &#8220;I can&#8217;t do it anymore</span>&#8230;,&#8221; he said. &#8230;&#8230; He will probably continue to hand out gifts and New Year&#8217;s presents this year-end and New Year&#8217;s holidays as a person who cares.</p>
