Yuki Saito’s “adultery allegations” again “did no damage” in terms of her work.

Yuki Saito is reported to be having an affair again.

I doubt that many people would be surprised to hear that. According to a September 19 report in Josei Jishin, Saito, who celebrated her 58th birthday on September 10, went to the apartment of T, a doctor in his 60s who was reported to have had an affair in 2005, and stayed at the doctor’s apartment until the next day. She spent the next day at the doctor’s apartment.

She did not admit to the relationship when the affair with Mr. T was first discovered, but a week after the initial press conference, after a follow-up article in a photo magazine appeared, she made a comment by fax through her agency. In the end, after admitting the affair,

I’ve ended it.

and announced that he had ended the relationship.

Last year, he was distraught in front of his adulterous partner.

At the time, Saito continued to comment as follows

Despite this situation, [my husband] said to me, ‘Let’s put our children first for now, and let’s try again to work on each other. I hope that we can continue to talk well about what happens next.’

So it seemed that the couple was back together. ……

Six years later, in 2011. Six years later, in 2011, Shukan Bunshun (Weekly Bunshun) photographed Saito sobbing inconsolably at the entrance of the clinic where T. worked. Saito has denied having an affair, and, to be fair, it may have been a deep “friendship” as in a Hollywood romantic comedy, but it seems certain that the relationship was ongoing.

However, I doubt that anyone is surprised by Saito’s “affair report” anymore. And it is not just a new partner, but Mr. T, with whom he had been in a relationship. Some people are calling it a “big shock,” but I don’t think that’s true.

The reason for “no damage to Saito” is discussed every time a report of Saito’s infidelity appears. The reason is the “Saito is such and such a person” argument that appears every time there is a report of Saito’s infidelity. An employee of a production company in charge of casting for the drama says, “I guess no damage will be done this time either.

Saito’s infidelity has received few complaints.

For better or worse, Saito’s image as “that kind of person” is unshakeable. …… Also, unlike in the past, the world’s view of adultery seems to have changed dramatically. The number of people who used to say, “Adultery is inexcusable, no matter what it is,” which existed in the Heisei era, seems to have decreased since entering Reiwa in 2022. In recent years, there has been a strong argument for respecting the private lives of even celebrities. For example, unless it is something malicious, such as a wife or child falling ill due to adultery, I think there are fewer people who are put off by the fact that someone is a celebrity.

Because of this, the impact of the recent reports of the alleged affair on Saito is also expected to be minimal.

Of course, we have to take into account the reaction of the public, “Of course, we are very careful in casting our actors in light of the public’s reaction. As for Mr. Saito, no one has ever given him any NG, and we rarely receive any complaints from viewers. Although he often plays important roles, he has not been starring in many films recently. People are not that interested in celebrity infidelity anymore, and those who are making plausible accusations on SNS are probably bored people who are always looking for something to talk about.

Saito’s acting ability is one thing, but he also has a unique “flavor” or mysterious charm that attracts people in a way that no other actor does.

Saito says, “I have been watching her for a long time, and I think she has become more glamorous with more ‘pheromones’ than when she was younger. I think it’s because I’m always in love. Recently, she has been playing motherly roles more and more, which is appropriate for her age, but I think it’s a waste of time. It is still too early for her to age. I would like her to take on more roles. Like Sachiyo Tokyu, who is an actress with many loves ……” (person in the movie industry).

The secret of Saito’s increasing “acting ability” may lie in her “love nature.
