TOKYO: One of Japan 's biggest boy band stars and best-known television hosts announced his retirement on Thursday after being accused of sexual misconduct, Japan ese media reported.
AFP was not immediately able to confirm the announcement with Nakai's agency, and the star's website was overwhelmed with visitors. The allegations concern a 2023 encounter with the woman that leading tabloid magazine Shukan Bunshun said involved a closed-door setting and a"sexual act against her will".
The scandal comes after now-defunct boy band empire Johnny & Associates -- of which SMAP was long the defining face -- admitted in 2023 to sexual abuse allegations against its late founder.
