I like many aspects of Japanese culture but this aspect of it is irredeemably misogynistic. It's not good behavior to have affairs but to publically shame and hurt people's careers for it is abhorrent unless it's someone like a politician or religious figure who uses their influence to punish others for similar actions.

Sakurai has been married to a former voice actress for nearly 20 years, which was not disclosed to the public until September 2022 after he acknowledged a report published by Shukan Bunshun.[9][10] On October 26, 2022, Shukan Bunshun reported that Sakurai had been having an extramarital affair with a writer from his radio show, P.S. Genki Desu: Takahiro, which began in October 2013 and had been terminated suddenly on October 24, 2022, without any explanation of reasons given.[11][12] The two had been in a relationship for 10 years, with them intending to marry; however, the writer had allegedly not been aware of Sakurai's marital status until September 2022.[12] On November 3, 2022, the chief of Second Shot, the company behind Sakurai's radio show, apologized to the listeners, who were upset from Sakurai and the writer dating and having to listen to them on the radio show.[13] In the same announcement, they cancelled preorders for a product originally set to be released in November 2022.[14]
