SMAP's Masahiro Nakai confesses: "I really just can't get along with Inagaki-san"

Masahiro Nakai (41) confessed on Waratte Iitomo that he hasn't been able to get along with fellow SMAP member Goro Inagaki (40) that well.

In the corner "Koukai! Sasayakana Saikou Kimitsu", Nakai shockingly admitted that: "For some reason... I really can't get along that well with Inagaki-san". "We've been in the same group now for 25, 26 years. I approach him, Inagaki-san also approaches me, but to no avail. Our tastes and preferences, our way of life, the way we spend time... nothing matches with each other", which naturally surprised Tamori (68) and everyone else.

"We don't usually talk to each other. Well yes, we do have conversations once in a while and just when I think that 'Oh, we seem to be clicking!', we actually aren't. I think both of us are hoping that we'd click. But everything's alright when the cameras are rolling. But still, our conversations don't move forward."

Akiko Wada reveals the backstage situation at the Kouhaku: "I use Arashi's or Nakai's toilet"

Akiko Wada, who has become a staple at NHK's Kouhaku Uta Gassen, has revealed some secrets about what goes on behind the stage of the year-end event.

It is said that there are more or less 300 people participating in the Kouhaku this year which will be held on the 31st of December. All singers aspire to go up on the stage of the NHK hall during the last day of the year, but the venue isn't what one could particularly call "huge." So how do the performers get around backstage?

This topic was featured in Wada's program Akko ni omakase! last December 1. There are apparently 7 dressing rooms at the NHK hall.

The 1st dressing room is used by the male host(s), which means that Arashi will be utilizing this again this year. The 2nd dressing room is allocated for the female host, which means this will go to Haruka Ayase. The 3rd dressing room is reserved for the most distinguished male singers such as Saburo Kitajima, Hiroshi Itsuki, and the like, while the 4th dressing room is reserved for the female singers such as Akiko Wada, Yoshimi Tendo, etc.

Masahiro Nakai's advice to Becky on candid camera

1： 禿の月φ ★ 2013/09/13(金) 13:21:51.04 ID:???P

SMAP's Masahiro Nakai was on the variety show Ningen Kansatsu* variety monitoring (*Human observation) as Becky asked him about marriage without being aware that the cameras were rolling.

Becky approached Nakai, saying that there's this serious problem that she has about marrying the man she loves and wants to discuss with him. Nakai's first reply was, "I don't think I'm the one you're supposed to be discussing this with. You should talk this over with people who are really close to you like Aya Ueto. You have the wrong person. I don't have the confidence that I will be able to answer your question". But the look on his face changed at Becky's next words.

Becky said: "My agency said they can't look after me if I get married. It means that I'm getting fired...". To this, Nakai responded: "You can't think of having both at the same time. You need to be prepared to lose one or the other. You've entered that sort of industry. You cannot have everything. Didn't you join the showbiz world with that kind of resolve?"

Becky then asked: "Nakai-san, why aren't you getting married?". Nakai just dismissed it with, "Because I don't have a partner!". Then he added, "It's not something that you should do when you feel like doing it, it's something that you do when the right time comes, whether I'll be 50 or 60 by that time, then that's that". "Honestly, I don't think Johnny's will have anything to say if I tell them that I want to get married. But I'm a man so I have to keep on working, so I probably don't want to be tied down by marriage, like living together and stuff".

Nakai then concluded it by saying, "I think it's fine, why don't you go marry him? But you should properly tell your agency that you want to get married no matter what. If they tell you that you're fired, then you should accept that decision in good spirits". "If I just tell Johnny's that 'I'll be getting married tomorrow', then I'm sure they'll panic. You are still maintaining a certain amount of distance with this agency that has taken care of you, so you also have to reciprocate in accordance with that distance. It'll be rude on your agency so don't cause them trouble.".

People who watched this gave their thoughts on Twitter:
"Nakai-kun's so kind! I'd fall in love with him if he did that to me!"
"He's seriously so cool."
"The way he thinks is amazing."
"He made me feel how gallant someone is who has a strong resolve."
"Nakai-kun, wow. And I like how he doesn't put that forth all the time. I think he's godly for a human being."
