 Yuichi Nakamaru of &#8220;KAT-TUN&#8221; was reported to have had an affair.
 His behavior is far from the &#8220;Nakamaru image&#8221; that not only his fans but also everyone had envisioned. Many fans may not believe or want to believe it.
 However, his agency, STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, stated on its official website
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Nakamaru himself takes this matter very seriously and deeply regrets any worry or inconvenience he may have caused to his family or his partner. Nakamaru has decided to remain under house arrest according to his own wishes.
 Nakamaru also acknowledged this.
 On August 7, Bunshun Online reported that Nakamaru and a college student resembling Kanna Hashimoto were meeting secretly at APA Hotel. Nakamaru has already reportedly asked each of the TV stations on which he appears to take a leave of absence, but the situation is becoming more complicated than just suspending activities for a certain period of time.
 The idea of a celebrity having an affair or secret meeting at a business hotel reminds us of Yoshihiko Hakamada&#8217;s secret meeting with a gravure idol in 2005, but the shock level is far greater.

 Nakamaru-san has appeared on &#8220;Shuichi&#8221; (NTV) and &#8220;Asa da! (produced by ABC and broadcast by TV Asahi), which have received stable viewer ratings, and are well known. Of course, she also has many fans as an idol celebrity and is quite likable. She is liked by a wide range of people, from small children to the elderly,&#8221; says a broadcaster.
 (Broadcaster) Because of this, the repercussions of a scandal are immeasurable.
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Nakamaru&#39;s appearance on the show was reputed to &quot;boost the numbers.&quot; ......"></div>
Many men complain to TV stations, saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t show scandalous celebrities.
 Many men complain to TV stations about scandalous celebrities, but many women dislike &#8220;adultery.
 This is why TV stations are so upset. A source at ABC, where Nakamaru has requested a leave of absence, said, &#8220;We are confused and perplexed.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 They are confused and perplexed. Mr. Nakamaru has been on the show since April 2010, and it was a very popular corner, and we knew how popular he was.
 The station was in a state of confusion as to how to fill the time and how to create a new corner. To be honest, it&#8217;s difficult to ask, &#8220;Will he ever come back?
 NTV seems to be in even greater turmoil. When asked by a source, the following is what they had to say
 He has appeared on &#8220;Shuichi&#8221; since the program began in 2011, and his segment is the most popular on the show and the numbers go up. He is an indispensable part of the program, but the staff is burdened by the fact that they cannot use his recordings and have to change the program structure.
 It is difficult to find a replacement for Mr. Nakamaru right away. Another factor affecting his future is the fact that his wife is former Nippon TV announcer Rina Sasazaki. There are many fans of hers among the staff. It will take a long time for her to return to the show, and the possibility that she will not be able to return cannot be dismissed.
 There is no doubt that a dark cloud is hanging over Nakamaru&#8217;s future.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Un-jash&#8217;s Ken Watanabe made his first &#8220;live&#8221; appearance on terrestrial television in June of this year, four years after the affair was reported. It is that difficult to come back on TV after an affair.
 Furthermore, the gap between Mr. Nakamaru&#8217;s image as a TV personality and that of a young man who had an affair with a woman after picking up a woman is too large. The sponsors of the show are likely to be reluctant to allow him to return, and the hurdles to his return to TV are likely to be high.
 Nakamaru, who has been in show business for a long time and has seen the end of many celebrities who have been found to have had affairs, is not likely to make the same mistake.
