<h3> PRADA will not use them in future projects.</h3>
 Even if they wanted to take a break, they can&#8217;t. The future of Mei Nagano (25) and Kei Tanaka (40) is drawing attention.
 Allegations of infidelity surfaced in a Bunshun report in late April. In addition to private photos of their intimate relationship, the report detailed Nagano&#8217;s inviting a drunken Tanaka to her apartment. In the following Bunshun &#8220;second arrow,&#8221; a record of their line was leaked. The two parties were,
 Both parties completely deny that they ever sent such messages to each other.
 However, since Bunshun took the initiative to publish the story in full, it is difficult to believe everything Nagano and Tanaka say.

 The same is true for the commercial sponsors. The same is true for commercial sponsors. Clients who had been cautious when Bunshun first reported the incident have begun to &#8220;take refuge&#8221; after reading the LINE report. Nine major companies, including Suntory and Sunstar, which have contracts with Nagano, have closed their CM videos and banners to the public. The luxury brand Prada, which had used Tanaka as an ambassador, has also announced that it will not be using him for any future projects.
 Kikkoman, Setsuwakamaru, and Bioreu the Body, which have signed contracts with Tanaka, have also deleted their CM videos. Although the contract is said to be ongoing at this time, it is unlikely to be renewed. The two have lost an important source of income.
 What about their acting activities? Nagano is currently starring in the Sunday drama &#8220;Caster&#8221; (TBS), which is currently airing. Since he is a major cast member, it is impossible to edit the storyline, and the story is unfolding as if nothing had happened.

 Just a few days ago, the launch of the drama was held at the TBS office, where Nagano took the microphone and apologized for the disturbance,
 According to a TBS official, &#8220;The launch itself was a great success. Ms. Nagano behaved stoutly. In her speech, she said, &#8216;Please be careful when you leave because the media will be there,&#8217; which showed her core strength.
 He was very strong at heart. However, the sequel production is no longer being discussed at the site.

<h3>The offices of the two actors carefully discussed the aftermath of the incident.</h3>
 Tanaka, on the other hand, has a performance of &#8220;The Merry Ghost,&#8221; a play in which he plays the lead role, scheduled to run until mid-June. After that, &#8220;Hey, Dazai,&#8221; written and directed by Koki Mitani, will be broadcast on WOWOW on June 29. This website confirmed this to WOWOWO,
 Drama W: Koki Mitani&#8217;s &#8220;Hey, Dazai&#8221; will be broadcast and distributed from 10 p.m. on June 29 (Sun.) as scheduled.
 The news is that the drama will be broadcast and distributed from 10 p.m. on Sunday, June 29 as scheduled. There seems to be no impact from the affair report.

 While some object to the difference in damage from Nagano, whose appearance in the Taiga Drama has disappeared and whose radio program has also ended, a source in the entertainment industry said, &#8220;She is more conspicuous than Nagano, but she is not the only one,
 However, a person involved in the entertainment industry asserted, &#8220;She is just more conspicuous, but the damage to Ms. Tanaka&#8217;s side is also enormous.
 However, an entertainment industry insider asserted, &#8220;She is more conspicuous, but the damage to Ms. Tanaka&#8217;s side is enormous. He continued.
 In his case, he has his wife and children to take care of, so he would probably want to take time off work to focus on his family problems. However, the situation is such that he cannot take time off even if he wanted to.
 He points out. In this case, if either Nagano or Tanaka take a leave of absence, the other must follow suit. If Tanaka were to suspend his activities, it is obvious that Nagano, who has not suspended his activities, would attract criticism. The reverse is also true. This is why Nagano&#8217;s office and Tanaka&#8217;s office carefully discussed how to handle the situation after the initial Bunshun report.
 The basic premise is that there is no adulterous relationship. Therefore, if they take a day off, there is a possibility that an argument will arise as to why. If they take a day off, there is a fear that there will be a debate over &#8220;why&#8221;.
 said a reporter in charge of entertainment at a sports newspaper.
 Some people on the Internet are saying that the two should &#8220;take a break,&#8221; but taking a break from entertainment activities requires more work than one might imagine, including laying the groundwork with all the relevant parties and making up for ongoing work. If he takes a break for the first time, new actors will appear like bamboo shoots after rain, and when he returns, he may find that he has no place to stay.

 In fact, it is sometimes better for one&#8217;s mental health not to distance oneself from the entertainment industry. There is also the issue of commercial contracts. If he voluntarily stops his career, it would mean that he has voluntarily withdrawn from commercials, and there is a possibility that he will be charged a penalty fee.
 Both actors are extremely well known as actors. As Masahiro Higashide and Erika Karada, who were once reported to have had an affair, are active again, there is &#8220;no dawn without a dusk. At the launch of &#8220;Caster,&#8221; Nagano said that the recent turmoil had &#8220;made me stronger as a human being.
 &#8220;It was a period of time when I became stronger as a human being.
 The &#8220;Caster&#8221; launch, Nagano said in his speech, &#8220;It was a period of time that made me stronger as a person. Although it has been difficult, he may already be looking forward to the future.
