Jesse and Sanma Mixed with Danger Emergency Order Issued by TV Network Executives Amid Love Affair Reports
Whenever there were dating reports about Ayase in the past, her agency, Horipro, always denied them. However, this time, they made a comment acknowledging the situation for the first time, saying, ‘We leave private matters to the individual.’
“There are points of concern regarding the age difference of a decade and the fact that Jesse has been debuting for less than five years, in terms of celebrity status, but it is said that Horipro has finally given the OK for marriage. It seems that the comment of “Thank you very much until now” is also included for Ayase, who will turn 40 next year after becoming a top actress following her career as a gravure idol. It appears to be more about the timing being right than who the partner is” (sports paper reporter).
That said, it seems the TV industry is not entirely in a celebratory mood. There appears to be some confusion in the commercial TV variety sector.
“From the executives at the Tokyo-based stations, the producers of variety shows have been given an “order” not to let Jesse and Sanma meet!” (broadcast writer)
What does this mean?
“Ayase has long been known as one of Sanma’s favorite actresses along with Masami Nagasawa and Ayame Goriki. When there were love affair reports about Nagasawa, Sanma was exaggeratedly disappointed on various programs. When Goriki was open about her relationship with Yusaku Maezawa, Sanma made a joke about it on every show, shouting, “Bring Maezawa on the show!”
As a result, Maezawa had to go to Sanma’s favorite high-end yakiniku restaurant to greet him. Maezawa, being a fan of ‘Oretachi Hyokin-zoku’ (Fuji TV), seemed to be pleased, and Sanma was quite satisfied, saying, “He was a good guy from the ‘Hyokin era.'” Since then, Maezawa has been invited to Sanma’s shows” (previously mentioned broadcast writer).
Sanma would probably want to invite Jesse to his show and question him in detail about his romance with Ayase. However,
“Jesse is loved by big names in the entertainment industry and is known for having many famous friends across various genres. He is polite and understands his position, so normally it would be easy for him to go and greet Sanma. However, it seems Jesse is being stopped from doing so from various directions” (idol magazine editor).
This means.
There are not a few cases where discussions about dating or marriage of celebrities are banned on variety shows and information programs. Recently, Hikaru Yaotome from ‘Hey! Say! JUMP’ also just announced his marriage, making him the sixth talent from STARTO this year, who are minimizing marriage topics out of consideration for female fans.
“However, Jesse established his personal office on July 19, and the romance with Ayase was reported just a few days later. With the news of the romance coming right after fans were anxious about the establishment of his personal office, and Jesse himself added fuel to the fire with his flashy comments, it just caused a big uproar. Now, those around him are being cautious to avoid creating unnecessary sparks” (previously mentioned editor).
However, the probability of Jesse being invited to Sanma’s shows, such as ‘Odoru! Sanma Goten!!’ (NTV) and ‘Honma Dekka!? TV’ (Fuji TV), is not low. Additionally, Sanma also has his own music program, ‘Akashiya Kouhaku’ (NHK). Given Jesse’s role in leading the group and his enthusiastic service spirit on variety shows, it’s likely that he will eventually appear alongside Sanma.
“Of course, Sanma would not miss the chance to bring up Ayase’s topic in front of Jesse, and Jesse is famous for his quick responses, so he would likely handle the topic well without avoiding it. While the program would become lively, there is a possibility that the agency might not stay silent if things get out of hand.
There are even program producers who say, “Just thinking about it gives me a headache.” For now, the two are in a ‘Do Not Mix’ situation” (previously mentioned broadcast writer).
It would be interesting to see their chemical reaction on one of these shows.
