Ex-SMAP member Masahiro Nakai (aka Nakai-kun from classic Morning Musume appearances on Utaban such as featured below) has announced his retirement from the industry after allegations of sexual assault that resulted in a settlement.

Spoiler: show

Japanese TV host Masahiro Nakai, one of the country's most recognisable faces on television, has announced that he is retiring after a sexual assault allegation that has rocked the country's entertainment industry.

Nakai, who presented for Fuji Television, was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a 2023 dinner party held by staff.

Dozens of companies have pulled their commercials from Fuji Television amid claims that the company's staff had tried to cover up the scandal.

Nakai has denied using violence against the woman, and said on 9 January that he had "resolved" the matter with her through a settlement. But this did little to quell public anger. LINK

It is a shame. I respected him as a good interviewer on shows. Fuji TV did him dirty (by setting up the party and flaking out, and leaving him and the woman alone)

I don't really believe in birthdays in the Western sense, because I think they do it better in traditional Japan where everyone gets older on the new year. But the new year should be when things start growing again, not in the middle of winter. Anyhow...

Hapi-ba~ Amped-san!
