  • Masahiro Nakai, a former leader of Japan's once-hugely popular boy band SMAP, reached a costly settlement with a woman over an alleged sex assault.

The article from MSN discusses a significant scandal at Fuji TV, one of Japan's major television networks, where two senior executives, President Hisashi Kuboyama and Chairman Masaki Takei, resigned due to their involvement in a sex scandal linked to former star Shiori Niiyama. Niiyama, who was a popular figure on the network's variety shows, was implicated in a prostitution ring. The executives were found to have had inappropriate relationships with her, leading to their resignations. This incident has caused a major uproar, prompting Fuji TV to issue an apology for the "inconvenience and concern" caused to viewers and stakeholders. The scandal has also raised questions about the ethical conduct within the entertainment industry in Japan.
