Nakai disappeared, and that was it.”

In an attempt to get to the bottom of the matter, FRIDAY rang Mr. A’s cell phone and home phone multiple times, but both calls were simply forwarded to voicemail. We directly contacted Fuji Television’s Don Hiedahisa Hieda, 87, who was named by Ota, but he was adamant: “I don’t know what I don’t know.

He said, “We have already paid a huge settlement, there is no criminal case against us, and we are a person of merit for the TV station. Moreover, all of them call in female announcers and female station employees to entertain VIPs. The stations are not going to pursue Nakai, and they will probably try to settle the matter without punishing the person in charge.

The executive continued, “Nakai will disappear and that will be the end of it.

There are unconfirmed reports in the media that there are several other victims and some weekly magazines are already surrounding him, so he is too scared to make new offers. He hasn’t been active in music or acting for a long time, so there will be no demand for him in that genre. Even if he were to do work related to his life’s work, professional baseball and Samurai Japan, he has little hope because his sponsors are national clients. According to a person in the entertainment business who is close to Nakai, “He has a deposit in the ten-figure range,” so he would have no trouble making a living even if he retired. There is a high possibility that he will “go out of business.

Nakai once said on his radio program, “I’m almost 50 years old. Nakai once said on his radio program, “I’m almost 50 years old. This future is about to come true in a way he never expected.

Fuji Television has not held a press conference, and it is hard to say that they are fulfilling their accountability. A senior executive of an entertainment company pointed out, “There may have been some optimism that he would be forgotten after the new year.
