Instant Rebuttals: What Saori Seto Could Learn from Nozomi Sasaki’s Approach
Shinji Saito of the comedy trio “Jungle Pocket” was sent to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police on October 7 on suspicion of non-consensual sexual conduct involving a woman in her 20s.
Last month, Saito stepped down from his regular roles on ZIP! (Nippon TV) and Winning Keiba (TV Tokyo). He had been absent from both shows since August, and his social media activity also ceased.
“On September 19, his agency, Yoshimoto Kogyo, announced that Saito himself had requested a hiatus from his activities. Despite being involved in two infidelity scandals last year, the only show he left was the TBS Radio program Chiho Sosei Program ONE-J, where he was a personality. People in the industry were wondering if his health had significantly declined or if there was another reason behind his absence. Notably, Yoshimoto initially informed relevant parties that Saito would be taking a break due to a significant compliance violation. Later, they retract that statement, citing health issues instead,” a sports newspaper reporter commented.
The maliciousness of the act on the location bus
Looking back, it all makes sense now, but the most shocking aspect was that Saito committed the assault in a location bus.
Since this incident happened during an on-location shoot, essentially while working, many people are likely to be more exasperated than shocked. Staff members were probably working nearby, and one might wonder what the bus driver was doing during that time. Many are questioning if such a thing was even possible, leaving mysteries behind. In terms of sexual misconduct, the incident leaves an impression of cruelty even stronger than that associated with Anjashu’s Ken Watanabe, who was involved in a similar scandal in a multipurpose restroom.
When such a scandal arises, there are always voices expressing concern for the family. If the spouse or family members are public figures, this concern grows louder, and various opinions about them flood the internet.
When it comes to celebrity wives who gained attention due to their partner’s disgraceful scandal, Watanabe’s wife, Nozomi Sasaki, comes to mind.
