The story
Actress Nozomi Sasaki made a guest appearance on TV Asahi’s “After My Husband Falls Asleep,” airing late night on the 13th, where she talked about raising her kids. Her 8-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter apparently both compete over who gets to be “next to Mom,” leaving her husband, Ken Watanabe, with a complicated look on his face. On the 5ch Entertainment/Sports News+ thread, rather than focusing on this heartwarming family anecdote itself, the conversation centered almost entirely on Watanabe’s involvement in the affair scandal reported in 2020 (the so-called “multi-purpose restroom” incident), with many posters cracking jokes referencing his old scandal.

What people said
When you think about them hitting that age where a classmate finds out about the 'multi-purpose restroom' thing, he really did something unforgivable as a father
Mom might be the one on top
Watanabe: 'So, I'm on the Nozomi (bullet train) right now…'
Kojima: 'Don't call me to tell me that!'
I love that bit
He had this devastated look on his face… maybe he wasn't actually her father?
What do you even have to do to get hated that badly?
If he is the father, maybe he's away on a long work posting
Re: #13
Some guys act completely different at home than out in public — threatening and overbearing indoors, but playing the sweet, gentle dad once they step outside
All he can do is devote himself to his wife and kids
'Multi-purpose' J( 'ー`)し Mom (riffing on the classic exhausted-mom ASCII-art meme)
Pretty much everyone would pick Nozomi Sasaki over Watanabe
Yeah, well… that explains it, doesn't it? lol
He's funny, so did he lose his edge or something?
If he actually raises them with love, there's a chance they'll come around to 'well, Mom forgave him, so…'
Mom smells nice! Dad smells like the toilet!
Obviously
If that were all, it'd still be manageable
The real problem is the content
The way he treated the women was just awful
How's he even going to explain that to his kids?
Even if they don't look it up themselves, their friends will find it for them
Kids are googling stuff and searching YouTube on their own by around age 3 these days
And looking at how he treated the woman he had the affair with,
you can tell he's just a selfish person as a rule
That part was hilarious.
The woman Watanabe had the affair with went to a tabloid and called it 'an affair.'
So Sasaki came right back at her with something like, 'Oh, so it was an affair? Then I guess I'll be filing for damages against you — since it was an affair and all, I'll expect a hefty payout, thanks,' and the woman just went silent and vanished lol
Background and Key Points of This Topic
In 2020, while active as part of the comedy duo “Anjash,” Ken Watanabe had relationships with multiple women that were reported by tabloid magazines, leading him to take a long hiatus from entertainment work. The keyword “multi-purpose restroom” comes from the secret meeting spot named in that reporting, and has since become a go-to mocking nickname for him online. This thread was originally about a heartwarming episode Nozomi Sasaki shared about raising her kids, but most of the replies drifted into jokes rehashing his old affair scandal. Note that the affair was not a criminal matter, and some comments using the term “sex crime” are a mischaracterization that doesn’t match the reported facts.
