Masahiro Nakai, a notable figure in Japan's entertainment scene, has retired following serious allegations of sexual assault at a private dinner. The claims, linked to a settlement of ¥90 million, have intensified scrutiny on the industry’s handling of misconduct allegations, notably after the past controversies involving powerful figures like Johnny Kitagawa. Nakai has implied personal responsibility for the situation and stated he will confront his problems directly. His retirement signals a potential turning point for how such cases are addressed by the media and entertainment sectors in Japan.
"I will continue to face up to all problems sincerely and respond in a wholehearted manner. I alone am responsible for everything," Nakai stated.
"This trouble is entirely down to my shortcomings," Nakai mentioned, reflecting on his involvement in the allegations and subsequent settlement.
