Yuichi Nakamaru, who will resume his activities in January, and Tatsuya Ueda’s “smelling” postings have been the talk of the town, but still, “Why is it so difficult to return to TV?

Before going on hiatus, Nakamaru appeared on “Shuichi” (NTV), “Kaji-Yaro! and “Asa da!　(both on TV Asahi), but he has not been able to return to these programs even after the announcement of his resumption of activities.

Recently, NTV held a reorganization briefing for the April season at the station in Shiodome, Tokyo, where it was announced that “Shuichi” would expand to Saturdays and be broadcast on consecutive Saturdays and Sundays. At that time, a question was raised about Nakamaru’s return, but the answer was “no” at this time. When asked if he was in talks with his office, he replied, “No.”” (Sports newspaper reporter)

Nakamaru’s return to TV has often been discussed, but all parties involved were negative about it. Even though Nakamaru announced that he would resume his entertainment activities, this did not seem to change. When we asked the TV stations where she had regular programs, they replied, “To sum up, there is no such thing as a return to show business at this point in time,

They replied, “To sum it up, not at this time. I think some of his co-stars would like him to return, but the staff and the station do not have any particular plans to do so. It is true that he was popular, but there are many talented young people who have replaced him, and unlike in the past, the risk of using a talent who has been involved in scandals is great. We cannot take such a risk unless there is a reason why it has to be him. It is also significant that his wife is a former announcer for Nippon TV. There were many fans of hers among the station staff. But I don’t know if it will be 10 years from now. ……” (NTV official)

The reality is that the higher the popularity, the more difficult it is for her to return to work.

Although there is no possibility that she will return to the show after some time has passed, a source at Asahi Broadcasting Corporation, the producer of “Tabi Salad,” said of her return to the show

No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Before the station asked her to leave the show, she announced her hiatus and voluntarily left the show, causing trouble for the station and her co-stars. I think it is reasonable for him to explain himself and apologize. If he had been mature enough to do so, he might have been able to return to the show when things had cooled off. The Kansai people, especially Osaka obachan, are very open-minded, so they don’t make any complaints about a celebrity’s playing with fire. However, it is still important not to be ungrateful,” he said.

He said, “But you still have to be loyal to them.

KAT-TUN has announced that it will disband at the end of March. Now only three members remain, Kazuya Kamenashi (39), Ueda, and Nakamaru, according to a women’s magazine reporter,

According to a women’s magazine reporter, “If the group had not broken up, they would have been able to perform live, and even if Nakamaru could not perform on his own, they might have been able to perform as a group on singing shows and the like. But that will not be possible in the future. But even so, they are not very bright. Just because they “smelled” something doesn’t mean that the situation will turn around so easily.

A manager at a major entertainment company, looking at Nakamaru’s situation, said, “I realize now that it is too late to change the situation.

A manager at a major entertainment company, upon seeing Nakamaru’s situation, commented, “I realized it even after all this time. Even if the agency has the power, it is difficult for a talent who has been involved in scandals involving women to return to television. Comedians and actors may be able to handle problems as minor as adultery or cheating, depending on the extent of the problem, but for popular personalities, it is difficult to return to TV. The more likable they are, the more difficult it becomes.

Entertainment agencies are strictly instructed not to cause problems, including problems with women, as most probably is the case. If the talent still causes them, the office is no longer able to protect them. If they cannot do their job, they have no choice but to quit. This is probably the reason why recently there have been many cases of contract termination for talents whose scandals were discovered before the news came out.

It seems that Nakamaru’s “woman problem” has not only taught him a lesson, but has also become a lesson for the entertainment industry.
