SMAP's Tsuyoshi Kusanagi (39) has put an end to his abstinence from alcohol. Tamori (68), host of Waratte Iitomo, which is now on its final week after 32 years on air, guested on Fuji TV's SMAPxSMAP on the 24th, in the popular segment "Bistro SMAP".

Masahiro Nakai (41), Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori (37) have been regulars on Iitomo for a long time. Tamori is also friends with Takuya Kimura (41) and Goro Inagaki (40).

Before they judged the dishes, Tamori said, "I don't care about the outcome. Let's have a feast", and beer was brought in. As they were having a toast, Kusanagi muttered about his self-imposed ban from alcohol. Tamori then said, "It's been a long time now, you've had enough! I suppose you can have a drink already?". Kusanagi gulped down his beer and said, "So good. I'm so happy, really", and enjoyed his beer with Tamori.

NMB48 Sayaka Yamamoto's "get us wasted" comment gets mixed reactions

Sayaka Yamamoto's comments last January 13 for AKB's Coming of Age Day ceremony drew mixed reactions from the public. When she was asked about her thoughts on being able to drink alcohol now that she's become an adult, Yamamoto said: "Our senpais did say that 'we're going to have to get these new adults wasted', so I'm preparing for that".

On the reader's column "koe" of Asahi Shinbun published on the 20th, there was a comment there that was made about Yamamoto's statement entitled "[Getting wasted] worried as to how that will be done". The contributor talked about the hazards of being dependent on alcohol and also went on to say, "It seemed to me that these idols are too careless with their comments. To think that they have a huge influence on the youth".

Because of this, various opinion have been voiced out on the Internet, as some fans have defended Yamamoto by saying, "This person is worrying too much", "Don't take it seriously", while others said, "If she's aware that she's a part of this national idol group then she shouldn't have said that", "It's fine when you talk like this amongst yourselves, but it's a different case when you say this to the media, and during the seijin-shiki at that".
