<h2> Saito&#8217;s wife, who spoke up for her husband. &#8230;&#8230;</h2>
 In the year 2024, a variety of scandals have erupted, and in this age of social networking, once a &#8220;flame&#8221; breaks out, gasoline tends to be pumped into the flames from every possible source, rather than being extinguished. No matter how prestigious the celebrity or how big the agency, there is no stopping the backlash of public opinion.
 Many celebrities and entertainers have gone up in flames this year, and in some cases, they were handled incorrectly, while in others, they only suffered minor injuries. Here is a look back at such uproar: &#8230;&#8230;.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Huwa-chan.
 In August, comedian Yasuko (26),
 &#8220;Yasuko Olympics. It&#8217;s great just to be alive, so everyone wins!
 In response, Huwa-chan posted on X. In response, Huwa-chan responded
 In response, Huwa-chan posted on X, &#8220;You are not great, so please die, you lost the qualifying round.
 In response, Huwa-chan posted on X, &#8220;You&#8217;re not great, so please die! There is still no sign of his comeback.
 The timing of the &#8220;24-Hour TV&#8221; (Nippon Television Network Corporation) made the word &#8220;dead&#8221; even worse. Not only was I dropped from the program, but my sponsors also left. While some celebrities have claimed to have been &#8220;hijacked&#8221; when they were mistakenly accused, Huwa-chan admitted to posting the message, claiming that it was not a backhanded attack. Even so, his usual attitude was also considered a problem, and the public&#8217;s reaction was cold.
 Shinji Saito (42) of &#8220;Jungle Pocket&#8221; and his wife, Saori Seto (36)
 On October 7, Saito&#8217;s contract with Yoshimoto Kogyo was terminated after he was charged with sexual misconduct with a woman he co-starred with. On the same day, his wife, Saori Seto, posted on Instagram
 &#8220;As far as the facts are concerned, the other party has done something to me.
 Saito&#8217;s wife, Saori Seto, suggested on her Instagram page that the action was not one-sided. The female victim said
 The female victim protested, &#8220;Your comment is not true, as if I am at fault.
 The victim woman protested, saying, &#8220;She said she was trying to protect her husband&#8217;s honor.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The woman&#8217;s comments were criticized as &#8220;a bad move,&#8221; even though she was trying to protect her husband&#8217;s honor. On the other hand, the fact that Yoshimoto Kogyo fired her while the case was pending and it was unclear what the prosecutors would make of it was also questionable. However, it is said that not only this case but also reports of large debts led them to give up on him early.
 Akiko Wada (74)
 In August, Wada appeared on &#8220;Akko ni Omakase! (TBS), on which Wada serves as MC, when he saw Haika Kitaguchi, 26, who won the gold medal in the women&#8217;s javelin throw at the Paris Olympics, lying on her back and eating sweets,
 She looked like a Steller&#8217;s sea lion, lying there. It&#8217;s so cute!
 and the incident caused a huge firestorm. On the 18th of the same month, she apologized at the beginning of the program.
 It was extremely unusual for Ms. Wada to stand in front of the camera and sincerely apologize. Until then, her comments had tended to cause a firestorm, but in many cases she had either ignored them or apologized as a program, with the announcer reading her comments. However, there were rumors that the program was ending, so I think she bowed down and made her peace with the situation. I think this was a good response. This is one of the few cases where he succeeded in &#8220;putting out the fire.

<h2>&#8220;Otaku men&#8221; are furiously protesting.</h2>
 Takehisa Maeyama (33)
 Actor Takehisa Maeyama, who was in a relationship with Sayaka Kanda (35 years old) who passed away in December 2009, released a series of short videos on his YouTube channel, such as &#8220;Stalker spy photo man&#8221; and &#8220;Adulterous man&#8221;. Each time he posted a video, it caused a firestorm, and he eventually deleted all of them. In his latest video, he changed his title to &#8220;former actor.
 He has also leaked audio clips of him verbally abusing Kanda-san, so it will be difficult for him to make a comeback as an entertainer. In fact, he was even scheduled to appear on stage, but it was canceled. Even in the case of a scandalous incident, a stage performance, for which the audience pays a fee to come and see, is usually open to performers. In Maeyama&#8217;s case, however, his co-stars also withdrew from the performance, and he was trapped in a corner.

 Yuri Kawaguchi (30), freelance announcer
 In August of this year, Kawaguchi caused a firestorm by posting such comments as, &#8220;I am too much bothered by the smell of men in the summer and the body odor peculiar to those who are indisposed. She was also terminated by her agency. He is currently working as a freelancer, and on December 8, he returned to work as an event host.
 On December 21 at X
 This year, I have gone through a lot of hardships and suffering that I can&#8217;t express in words.
 He revealed his anguish, saying, &#8220;I have been and will continue to be a happy person,
 I have been and will always be a happy person.
 He concluded, &#8220;I have been and will always be a happy person.
 Because social networking sites are anonymous, so-called &#8220;nerdy men&#8221; reacted furiously. Once they start a fight, they will continue to use online forums and other means to start a firestorm. After the firestorm, he appeared on YouTube&#8217;s &#8220;ReHacQ&#8221; and declared that he would no longer use the title &#8220;announcer,&#8221; but that he wanted to become a media outlet himself. He also said, &#8220;I want to become a media person myself. She seems to have a rather winsome personality, and is probably the type of person who is prone to flames. However, it seems that her hosting of an event in December was well received, and she may be able to expand her range of work.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 There were too many scandals this year to list here. Ex-SMAP member Masahiro Nakai&#8217;s troubles with women also continue to simmer, and have even led to the cancellation of a program recording. It is uncertain whether he will be as active next year as before.
 When a celebrity is under fire, the timing of their apology and the content of their comments can make or break their fate. What kind of scandals will break out in 2013?

 Keisuke Nishi (Saito) and Kojiro Yamada (Wada)

 The year 2024 was marked by numerous scandals. Whenever a scandal broke out, it was spread all over the Internet and turned into a flame war. The tragedies and joys of these "entertainers on fire" ......
