The story
Actress Akiko Hinagata (48) appeared on ABEMA’s “Ai no Hyena 6” (Love Hyena), streamed on September 29, and revealed that she has “no friends at all” left among the members of “Mecha²Iketeru!” (“Mecha-Mecha Iketeru!”), the long-running variety show she was a regular on for years. With years having passed since the show ended, many of her former co-stars have gotten married and had children, changing their lives — a point that came up in discussion. On 5channel’s Entertainment/Sports News+ board, opinions were split: some said “that’s normal if it’s purely a work relationship,” others noted “it’d be hard to invite married people out,” and the thread expanded into talk about which members had married and anecdotes from the show’s heyday.

What people said
No joke, seriously (looks like a typo for 洒落にならない, "that's not funny")
There's the comedian who dated Hamaguchi — Mizuho Honda
It probably lasted as long as it did because they didn't get too chummy
You wouldn't normally invite a married person out to eat privately.
Not if you have any sense, anyway.
Though who knows about TV producers
I don't think you should expect common sense from celebrities
This isn't a thread about Mei Nagano or Maya Imamori, you know?
I feel like Michopa gets invited out all the time, though (Michopa = TV personality Momoka Fukuda)
Celebrities probably meet so many new people day to day, too
A lot of people would put "Seija no Koushin" (The Saints' March) first instead, since that averaged over 20%
If someone's newly married or has kids, you'd normally be considerate and not invite them out
Except for Oasys (the comedy duo)
Don't talk trash about Auntie Okubo
That's a gentle dig at the middle-aged women right here in this thread, huh
Her acting was never quite there
She did land a lead role once, but it was tough going
Nice one
Though, well, that's actually her real name, so…
Background and key points of this discussion
“Mecha²Iketeru!” was a long-running variety show that aired from 1996 to 2018, and Akiko Hinagata was a regular cast member from early on. Since the show ended, many of her co-stars have married and had children, and their changed circumstances are seen as one reason personal ties have faded. In the thread, many took the view that “it’s hard to casually invite married people out” and “work relationships are separate from private life,” with some comparing the distance between entertainers to that between former coworkers after leaving a job. Few responses linked Hinagata’s comment to loneliness — most treated it as a natural change, a nuance that doesn’t come through in the headline alone.
