A firestorm of headlines is continuing to surround actress Mei Nagano concerning allegations of the 25 year old actress having an affair with 40 year old actor Kei Tanaka as previously reported by celebrity reporter Shukan Bunshun. However, the drama has spread beyond the screen. Leaks by sources are reporting that Nagano's screen time Caster may be decreasing. The article by Bunshun alleges that Nagano and Tanaka were seen spending time together at her Tokyo home.
There was also a reference to her increasingly close relationship with 26 year old Korean actor Kim Mu-Jun who also co-stars in the current TBS series. Both agencies deny any kind of romantic involvement Nagano's team. Mei was advised about behavior that could give rise to misperceptions by the general public.
Even though the actors and actresses involved have been denying the claims, people on the inside have claimed that sponsors and networks connected with Caster have began watching the how the public is reacting with increased scrutiny.
One staff member suggested that "Viewers might start linking her character's integrity with the headlines" hinting that Mei's role might be scaled back as a result of this.
Caster takes a look at the ethics of journalism with actor Hiroshi Abe playing an uncompromising anchor who is determined to expose the truth. Nagano portrays a committed news director and from the first episode, she accuses Abe's character of "breathing lies." One inside source from the set stated: "It's turned into a bit of a boomerang moment."
Though both agencies have denied the existance of any relationship, people have worked with Nagano have stated her openness with co-stars has influenced people to jump to conclusions based on outward appearances.
"She's friendly with everyone, sometimtes inviting senior actors out for sinner. It's all in good faith but it can blur lines."
Tanaka who is currently married to actress Sakura has two daughters and has been married since 2011 is known for his laid-back nightlife-friendly personality. He is less visible in commercials and advertising professionals are suggesting Nagano is more at risk to having her interactions misunderstood.
"He's not a major presence in the advertising world anymore. But Nagano ranked in last year's top 10 for endorsements. Her image is a bigger asset - and more vulnerable.
Despite the rumors swirling, Nagano remains in demand and is appearing in the film Kakukaku Shikajika which premiered May 16th and is also contracted to star in NHK's next major historical drama Toyomi Brothers! which is scheduled to come out in 2026.
