<h2><span class="strongInContent"> The comment section of X is a mixture of support and criticism.</span></h2>
<p> On April 7, the electronic edition of the Weekly Bunshun reported the second installment of the affair between actor Mei Nagano Mei (25) and Kei Tanaka (40). Under the headline &#8220;Burning Adulterous Line,&#8221; a graphic exchange of lines was published.</p>
<p> The offices of both parties denied the affair, saying they had not sent such messages.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Bunshun took a one-week break during the Golden Week holidays, and the offices were extremely fearful of this &#8220;second arrow. Naturally, they must have thought about how to respond. The contents of the back-and-forth line after the first report had also been leaked, so it was likely that someone very close to them had leaked the contents of the line. I am also concerned that the revelation of the LINE was not a screenshot.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In some past cases, the LINE screen was opened on a smartphone and photographed with the camera of another smartphone. Sending a screencap would leave a history, you know. If that happens, the background and other atmosphere might reveal where the photo was taken and who took it. That may be the reason why it was not a screener,&#8221; said a wide-show desk clerk.</span></p>
<p> As for Nagano, 11 companies had CM contracts with her, but we confirmed that she has already been removed from the Web and CMs of HOYA, JCB, Sunstar, and Suntory. Furthermore, the demotion dominoes may accelerate.</p>
<p> In general, if a talent who has caused a scandal continues to be used in a commercial, it will not only have a negative effect on publicity, but may also generate complaints from the general public, resulting in reverse promotion. If they were to &#8220;drop&#8221; rather than &#8220;terminate&#8221; their contracts, they could incur huge penalties, and the agencies must have been terrified of the &#8220;second arrow.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> This can be seen from X. The official account of Mei Nagano&#8217;s manager, Mei Nagano, was posted on &#8220;All Night Nippon X&#8221; just before the May 5 broadcast,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The &#8220;All Night Nippon X&#8221; account announced, &#8220;Thank you again for your support this week #Mei Nagano ANNX.</span></p>
<p> The comment section of X was flooded with not only supportive comments but also criticism. Then, at noon on the 7th, she deleted the post. This was reported by some online media, causing further flare-ups.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Manager&#39;s &quot;tricks&quot; in response to anti-comment"></div>
<h2><span class="strongInContent">Hiding comments sparks further flames</span></h2>
<p> What happened in the two days between the posting and the deletion can be found at &#8230;&#8230;. The news report does not say what led to the deletion, but the clues were still online.</p>
<p> One public user&#8217;s account read</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;Manager, even if you hide the inconvenient reposts, they will know&#8230; It will make a bad impression on them&#8230;&#8221; he wrote with an image.</span></p>
<p> and an image of the user&#8217;s name.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The user&#8217;s account also included comments such as &#8220;two-timing adulteress&#8221; and &#8220;@meinagano_musician,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The user&#8217;s account has been hidden by @meinagano_staff.</span></p>
<p> What does this mean? What does this mean?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> X has a function to hide comments in the reply section. In short, trolls and anti-comments were manually hidden one by one by the manager. But in fact, even though the comments are visually gone, there is a &#8220;Show hidden replies&#8221; function in the menu that allows other users to view the comments that have been hidden. In other words, you can see at a glance which comments the manager has &#8220;deleted. Therefore, the manager was criticized by a journalist who is familiar with SNS, saying, &#8220;Even if you hide the comments that are inconvenient and make up for them, it does not make a good impression.</span></p>
<p> It is true that it is understandable that they wanted to delete the anti-comments in order to protect Nagano. However, the manager&#8217;s actions seemed to have added fuel to the fire, and the post was deleted when the situation became uncontrollable.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The manager&#8217;s action, however, seems to have added fuel to the fire, and he deleted the post when he could no longer control the situation. It was obvious that if they tried to hide the comments or do other tricks, it would further inflame the situation. Moreover, the fact that they denied the affair even after being confronted with so much evidence is likely to further fuel the flames. In fact, there have been some &#8220;real damages&#8221; such as the removal of commercials, and as with the X case, the mishandling by the office has come to the fore.</span></p>
<p> How will the affair allegations be resolved?</p>
