Masahiro Nakai’s comment, “I can continue to work without any problems,” and his determination to “not retire,” became the decisive factor in his decision to “not return.

It is also a decisive factor in the “no return” decision.

“Looking at the comments on the Internet and the opinions of intellectuals, this statement has created an atmosphere of “No comeback allowed! If there are so many voices of protest, it is as expected. If there is this much opposition, it is indeed difficult to use it on TV. This may have been the decisive factor in the “no return” decision.

“I will be able to continue my entertainment activities in the future without any problems…”

This sentence may be an indication of Nakai’s strong will to “never retire. However, it seems as if his enthusiasm is “spinning out of control. ……

The “new” show is a great example of Nakai’s strong determination to “never retire. Perhaps they wanted to counteract such voices. In reality, however, it would be very difficult for him to continue appearing on TV. However, it is hard to imagine him appearing on stage as an actor or performing live as a musician. If that were the case, even if he did not retire, he could have announced an “endless activity hiatus” as a way of reflecting on his past, and returned to the stage after a certain period of inactivity.

(Sports newspaper reporter) “Downtown” Hitoshi Matsumoto, who had been on hiatus, announced that he would start a pay-per-view “Downtown Channel. Nakai, too, may continue to work in a similar fashion to Matsumoto, as it is now considered a hurdle for him to be active in the television arena.

Nakai said, “These days, even if you are independent from an entertainment agency, there are more and more platforms where you can communicate as an individual. If the public says, “Don’t go out on the stage,” you can work only on a paid channel or online salon, where only those who support you can watch your work. Or you can use YouTube or TikTok. Many social networking services these days have specifications that allow for monetization,” said an IT journalist.

What kind of activities will Nakai engage in under these circumstances?
