Even Shingo Katori’s recording was abruptly cancelled… “Fuji TV’s Unorthodox Response” to Masahiro Nakai’s Trouble and “Whereabouts of the High Penalty Fee”.

Masahiro Nakai (52) has finally decided to suspend all commercials and regular TV and radio programs. The year before last, he had a trouble with a woman in the entertainment business, and it is reported that he later paid 90 million yen as a settlement. Citing confidentiality, Nakai has not said much, but on the evening of January 9, he said, “It is true that there was trouble. It is also true that a settlement has been reached through the representatives of both parties and that the matter has been resolved.
He also commented, “Now that a settlement has been reached, I will be able to continue my future entertainment activities without hindrance. However, “Nakai will essentially be forced to suspend his activities,” said a source at an entertainment agency.
TV Asahi commented on Nakai’s appearance on “Masahiro Nakai’s Saturday Night Party,” saying, “The truth of this situation is still unclear, so it is suspended for the time being. TBS announced, “In accordance with the human rights policy of the TBS Group, we are confirming the facts with the representatives of both parties,” and other stations are following suit. As evidenced by commercial sponsors who have taken a firm stance against sexual assault in recent years, it will be difficult to use Nakai in the media in the future, given his loss of favorability.
Fuji Television Network, which is in the middle of the vortex, announced on March 9, “It was also reported that Fuji Television employees were involved in this trouble at first, but Fuji Television has issued a comment denying this. Since last year, we have been continuing our response, including fact-checking. Fuji TV reiterated its stance of no involvement.
Katori’s recording was abruptly canceled.”
However, the uproar shows no sign of abating. On the contrary, the effects of the riots have even affected the work of former “SMAP” members. Fuji Television has reportedly cut the schedule of Shingo Katori (47), who had been invited to be a guest on a story show, as a result of the recent turmoil. A source in the entertainment industry continues, “A late-night variety show, ‘Hachitaro.
A source close to the entertainment industry continues, “In early January, Katori was invited to be a guest on the late-night variety show Hachimitsu! a late-night variety show, was abruptly cancelled in early January. Fuji Television explained the reason for the cancellation, saying, “Mr. Katori’s appearance was cancelled because he would be associated with Masahiro Nakai. The team made adjustments in the direction of switching to an alternative recording, but in the end, the recording itself had to be cancelled. I was surprised that it had such an impact.
In response to FRIDAY Digital’s inquiry, Fuji Television’s Public Relations and Advertising Department asked, “Is it true that Katori’s recording was canceled due to Nakai’s troubles?
In response to a letter of inquiry from FRIDAY Digital, Fuji Television’s Public Relations and Advertising Department responded, “There is no fact that such a recording had been decided in the first place, nor is there any fact that an explanation of the kind you have pointed out was given.
