Akae Tamao Gives Listeners Advance Notice About Her and Hakata Daikichi's FRIDAY Article

赤江珠緒、博多大吉との週刊誌報道をリスナーに事前報告「事実有根」「本当に恥ずかしい」

On the 18th April, Freelance Announcer Akae Tamao informed her listeners of the TBS radio show "Tamamusubi" beforehand that the the next issue of the tabloid FRIDAY (on sale 19th April) will be reporting on her and Comedian Hakata Daikichi's "grass bed" date. She confessed that everything [in the issue] was correct, and that it was not groundless but based on fact.

She read out the headline of the coming FRIDAY article, "Hakata Daikichi and Akae Tamao: Nestling Together on a Grass Bed" and commented, "I was so embarrassed today, I wanted to take the day off."
*Both Hakata Daikichi and Akae Tamao are married to other people.

Akae explained how the situation came to be. She approached Daikichi (one of her co-hosts of Tamamusubi) to consult and discuss their future plans for Tamamusubi. Daikichi suggested going out to lunch during the gap he had before his next job.

As their discussion involved some complicated talk, Akae made a reservation at a restaurant in Aoyama. After they had lunch, there was still some spare time. As the restaurant's lunchtime period was limited, they left the shop. "We weren't really keen on going to a cafe and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. We said, 'There's a park so how about we watch the cherry blossoms to kill time?'" That was how they ended up going to the park, she explained.

She explained that they were surrounded by people, and lots of groups, such as office workers, were flower viewing. Seeing that a group who were having a party under a cherry tree had packed up and left, they moved under the tree because it had the best view of the cherry blossoms.

When she found out that this article was going to come out, "I was scolded by various people, my family, my husband etc." Her husband was extremely mad at her, "You should never have done that. It looks suspicious no matter what angle you look at it." She reflected, "I thought that it was fine because it was in broad daylight with people around..." "This is seriously embarrassing," she repeated over and over.

Bye bye massive beautiful teary eyes

Hasn't Akae-san been getting carried away lately? w

With that Pierre scandal going on, they talked about all sorts of stuff at the park, I bet.
*Pierre Taki was a Thursday host of Tamamusubi.

Hakata Daikichi looks really gentle but he's a pushy domineering husband, right?
Feels like a strapping Kyushu lad

11. [+1083 / -69]
It's totally fine.

13. [+889 / -316]
She should admit it properly without making weird excuses~

14. [+1960 / -40]
If you're going to give advance warning, tell me why you two ended up cuddling*. You weren't cuddling?
*寄り添う can mean to get close, to cuddle close together, to nestle close to, to snuggle up to

15. [+2621 / -18]
You mean you and Daikichi-san were basking in the sun on the grass together?!

17. [+2516 / -107]
What? Then it was true that you two were cuddling together on the grass?
Even if it isn't adultery, that's still disgusting.

18. [+2611 / -48]
Even though I heard there was a time Daikichi-sensei went to a hostess bar where customers are allowed to touch the hostesses' breasts with his juniors, and he held up a cloth to block the incoming hostess' breasts.

23. [+1769 / -38]
The two don't seem like the type to have affairs, so perhaps they were careless and behaved in a way that would make people misunderstand?

25. [+1769 / -38]
I don't like or hate her but her kid was just born, so I think she should be spending more time with it.

26. [+840 / -392]
It's really comfortable lying down in the park on a fine day.
It's only possible to do that around this time of the year so let them do what they want.

27. [+1224 / -65]
Is she admitting she had an affair or not?

35. [+2161 / -83]
I don't like how it seems like Akae-san's pretending to be an airhead.
From the wife's perspective, she's the scariest and most troublesome type to deal with.

Akae Tamao and Hakata Daikichi Suffer No Damage After Being FRIDAY'd? Why Were They "Forgiven" So Quickly?

赤江珠緒・博多大吉「フライデー」されてもノーダメージ?早々に「許された」のは何故なのか

The topic of FRIDAY's latest issue were a photos of Freelance Announcer Akae Tamao and Hakata Daikichi. Photos of the two sitting intimately on the grass of Aoyama Cemetery were printed on a two page spread, grandly headlined with "Forbidden love?" "Nestling Together on a Grass Bed."

In regards to their harmonious-looking date, the tabloid explained that the two are both married to other people and are co-hosts in the TBS radio show Tamamusubi. They pointed out that even if they pretend to be "Work buddies," it cannot be taken at face value.


Despite this, one after the other, netizens have spoken in their defense. The majority which say:

"Seems like the response will be divided depending on whether you listen to them on the radio or not."

"Tama-chan and Daikichi-sensei's heartwarming flower viewing grass bed. If you're a Tamamusubi listener, it'll be a funny anecdote."

For the listeners of Tamamusubi, their opinion is that "There's no problem." As Daikichi-san and Akae-san have been regulars of Tamamusubi since it began, it isn't difficult for listeners to imagine that they are work friends with no need for formalities.

Also, Akae-san's early "confession" probably had a positive effect. Many have also responded with "Adultery is wrong" and it's not a problem so long as you don't cross the "line." In addition to the listeners' warm response, possibly because Akae-san managed to successfully extinguish the initial flames, when Daikichi-san appeared on "Asaichi" (NHK), although he didn't touch on the Friday article, there has been no obvious criticism towards Daikichi-san at this point in time.

2. [+2931 / -392]
No one's forgiven them
They're just completely disillusioned.

3. [+1783 / -151]
They're lucky that there are so many idiots around.

4. [+2532 / -96]
Women who ask for consultations are hated.

5. [+2547 / -129]
I don't quite understand what they mean by forgive.
I'm just extremely put off.

7. [+3005 / -645]
After all, if they were committing adultery, they wouldn't be so bold and confident.
Well, lying down on the grass was excessive, but they seem to be reflecting on their actions.

8. [+1821 / -212]
Isn't it because there's no reason for people to bash them?

9. [+1524 / -54]
I just don't care
I'm not interested in either of them

11. [+3027 / -162]
I think they've ruined their images though...

12. [+2593 / -149]
It's because it's not like they entered a hotel together.

13. [+2253 / -119]
It's because it's the adultery of the heart.

15. [+2259 / -130]
As someone who has never listened to this person's radio show, that photo just disgusts me.

16. [+1846 / -412]
It's unfortunate that people are making so much fuss over something as small as this.

17. [+2405 / -74]
If their mentality really is so strong that they can commit adultery so openly, then I'm impressed (lol)

21. [+1310 / -365]
Laughing at the aunties who have decided it's adultery due to the likes of FRIDAY

25. [+2096 / -266]
Well, it does seem like that were too careless but no one's going to commit adultery so openly, right?
To me, it only looks like they were taking a stroll, the cherry blossoms were pretty so they just took a short rest.

28. [+1497 / -162]
I don't care about forgiving or not forgiving but I was really put off. In my opinion, it's impossible for a married person to interact so closely [like them] with someone of the other s*x who isn't their partner.

29. [+808 / -21]

People who have dated before will know that this subtle distance phase is the most thrilling stage of a relationship, so that's why I feel it's disgusting.

Akae Tamao Sabotages Herself "I'm a woman who sleeps with anyone on the grass."
Complete Denial of Adultery "I don't sleep [with anyone] anywhere other than on the grass."



Akae Tamao self introduced herself as "a woman who sleeps with anyone on the grass." and completely denied infidelity: "Sorry, I never expected it to get so big... I don't sleep [with anyone] anywhere other than on the grass."

"The person who invited him to the "grass bed" was me." Announcer Akae confessed that she invited Daikichi to go flower viewing. "I went out to lunch with Daikichi-sensei. There was still some time before our next jobs and the cherry trees were in full bloom so I said, "Lets watch the cherry blossoms to kill time."

It's nothing laugh about. It's simply unpleasant.
An auntie shouldn't be coming onto someone else's man.

3. [+3092 / -97]
Has this woman always been this stupid?

4. [+2295 / -65]
She just personally admitted she is a slᴜt.

5. [+2584 / -31]
But you still shouldn't do things that will give people the wrong idea.
Since you're both celebrities.

Sounds desperate

Gross
Don't do nothing but chase after other people's husband's butts
Look after your own kid

That statement's just wrong...

Don't treat the grass as your bed, it's disgusting!

Not denying it = You did it

She doesn't learn...

I think that if they're alone together, then it's crossing the line.

17. [+1372 / -31]
She's digging herself into a hole

21. [+2331 / -41]
I liked Tama-chan but...
It's as if she has no consideration for Daikichi's wife and her own husband
I'm disappointed

22. [+1597 / -40]
She's an indecent person who sleeps with anyone, huh.

23. [+773 / -15]
Just stop talking!

Stop saying unnecessary things. If you don't talk then people will gradually forget about it... I'm starting to think that she wants to be in the headlines.

28. [+1683 / -15]
Women who say they have no "ill intentions"... are the most troublesome and nasty.

32. [+2231 / -21]
Even if she says that she'll sleep with anyone, I bet she won't sleep with Cheating Takeyama or Nankai Candie's Yama-chan
She properly picks the person.

If I was his wife, I would be pissed off by those words.

37. [+1201 / -18]
Have the number of morons who try to tide over adultery by badmouthing themselves increased lately?
Do they think they can get people to laugh it off and forgive them?

39. [+948 / -12]
Even an unrelated person like me is getting more irritated the more excuses I hear, so I wish she'd keep her mouth shut.

40. [+1479 / -9]
Laughing it off by herself will just generate hate.
Saying "I apologise for causing this misunderstanding" with a very unyielding and sincere attitude will give a good impression.

43. [+1303 / -67]
It's the same as someone saying:
"We went into a love hotel but didn't do anything."

45. [+1062 / -7]
I knew that self-proclaimed honest women are hated but
I never knew that Akae Tamao was one of them.

49. [+1083 / -7]
I'm surprised that she can joke that her husband got mad at her too.
Does she not consider Daikichi's wife's feelings?

50. [+626 / -12]
Hakata Daikichi(?) hasn't made any comment?

51. [+705 / -6]
Well, the two were being staked out by the paparazzi so their behaviour was probably suspicious from the beginning.
