The aftermath of the “Masahiro Nakai problem” is also here… A “ban on joint meetings between players and female announcers” is now in effect in Miyazaki, a professional baseball campsite.

TV stations “blocking” joint parties

This year, however, due to the “Nakai problem,” such parties are being forced to be canceled one after another. An active player of a certain baseball team who is currently participating in the Miyazaki camp confides in us the reality of the situation.

There are only three TV stations in Miyazaki, NHK and two commercial TV stations. At this time of the year, there are many clubs, not only for professional baseball but also for the J-League. This time of year, not only professional baseball but also many J-League clubs hold their training camps in Miyazaki, so there is a competition for female announcers. The reason for inviting them is simple: they are good at enlivening the atmosphere, and they are well-spoken because they know who they are (laughs). The girls are used to playing, so they don’t go out at night in the city, but in a hotel. (Laughs).

Every year in mid-January, I contact my good friends, and ask them, “What day will you meet up this year? But this time, they said, “Sorry, I’m sorry. The company has issued a “no drinking” order, so I can’t go. …… I heard that the company has tightened up on me because of the “Nakai problem. If you cause unnecessary trouble, it will lead to a credibility problem. It seems that they are threatening to remove him from the announcer’s position if he goes without telling them.

One of the announcers mentioned above said, “During the camp, I had a drinking session with the players.

“Some of the players got into relationships with men and women at drinking parties during the camp, and then developed relationships and even got married. It is a great disadvantage for us “country female announcers” to be deprived of a precious chance to meet top athletes because of Mr. Nakai’s troubles with women. We are free to enjoy a night out in a consensual and moderate manner. ……

Although the dating parties between athletes and announcers are not exactly a compliment, it is clear that the “Nakai problem” has had a negative impact on both parties.
