Masahiro Nakai’s “silence” over the 90 million yen trouble is due to his “experience of success at the time of the old Johnny’s.

A “star” seems to be on the verge of dying out.

The trouble between Masahiro Nakai, 52, a former member of SMAP, and Xko, a woman who worked at Fuji Television Network at the time, is said to have cost 90 million yen in settlement. The TV industry is “withdrawing” from Nakai one after another.

TBS’s “Masahiro Nakai’s Friday Night Smile Tatakas” scheduled to air on January 10 was replaced with a new year’s special, and Fuji TV’s “Dareka to Nakai” scheduled to air on January 12 was replaced with another program, and Junichi Okada (44) was scheduled to appear as the new MC for the first broadcast of the new year, but was However, it has been put on hold.

The news program “Nakai Masahiro’s Saturday Meeting” (TV Asahi), in which Nakai serves as anchor, was also scheduled to air on the 11th, but the program list said that it would be replaced by “Gekirea-san wo Bukitaitaeru. Masterpiece Selection”.

On the other hand, Nippon Broadcasting System’s “Masahiro Nakai ON & ON AIR,” in which Nakai serves as a personality, will be broadcast as usual on January 4, and on January 7, NTV’s “The! The World Oyoten News” New Year’s 4-hour special on January 7, which Nakai will be the MC of, is also expected to be broadcast as scheduled.

The broadcast of “Gyoten News” will be unavoidable because it has already been recorded. However, on the day of the broadcast, NTV announced that the program would be re-edited so that Mr. Nakai would not be shown. Even if this is enough to get by this time, the next episode is still uncertain. There is a possibility that the program will be reworked or even cancelled during the changeover period. In addition to the extremely popular and long-lived program, a bad ending would cause a great deal of trouble for the senior master, Shofukutei Tsurube.

On the other hand, it would be difficult to continue with radio and other programs because they have to speak in their own words. If the program remains, there is a segment of the population that will thoroughly complain to the sponsors and the broadcasting station. For the station, complaints to the sponsors are the most painful,” said a TV station official.

The fact that the matter was so serious that they had to pay a huge settlement of 90 million yen tells us that this is no ordinary scandal.
