The story
Actress Rio Nakai revealed an unknown side of her husband, actor Akiyoshi Nakao, through a questionnaire on TBS’s “A-Studio+.” While Nakao usually comes across as a mellow, likable guy, she says he’s actually particular to a fault and dead serious, snapping over the smallest things. She described his tone as having a “yankee” (delinquent-style) edge that puts pressure on the room, prompting host Shofukutei Tsurube to exclaim in surprise, “What an idiot! I could never say something like that myself!” On 5ch, comments saying “not surprising at all” emerged early and the thread largely settled on that view, while posts voicing anxiety about power dynamics within marriage and married life itself also piled up, broadening the discussion from the couple’s true colors to single users’ views on marriage.
Akiyoshi Nakao — wife Rio Nakai reveals surprising true self: “He snaps over little things” — Tsurube: “What an idiot!”
Actor Akiyoshi Nakao (38) appeared as a guest on TBS’s “A-Studio+” (Fridays 11:00 PM), which aired on the 9th. His wife, actress Rio Nakai (36), answered a questionnaire and revealed an unexpected side of Nakao.
Asked, “What’s a surprising side of him the public still doesn’t know?” Nakai answered, “To the public he comes across as a cheerful, good-husband type, but maybe because he’s particular and dead serious, he snaps over little things, and his tone has this strong, delinquent-style edge that puts pressure on the mood. But sometimes that pressure actually comes in handy!”

What people said
Her husband's a car guy, so he probably wouldn't go for that kind of car
He's been on TV Tokyo car shows a lot
Just make small talk and calm them down
I'm not taking sides here at all, but
I can't stay in a good mood 365 days a year, morning to night,
so I'm single because marriage scares me.
How does everyone manage this?
Especially in the mornings while getting ready I'm basically murderous, and I don't want anyone in my way.
If I lived with someone else, they'd definitely end up using the sink, bath, or kitchen right when I want to, and that would drive me nuts.
So when I'm dating someone and ask upfront, "I'm in a bad mood every morning, how do you feel about that?" everyone just goes "uhh…"
What am I supposed to do?
Living apart even after marriage is the only option for me.
Didn't you have a father or mother growing up?
It's not like you're face-to-face dealing with each other every single day as much as you'd think.
Serious answer: pick a guy with an older sister.
He'll already be used to women getting irritable from hormones or pushing their own rules, so he can read the room and handle it well.
She must still find him useful, or she's still in love.
They're not even that popular.
I think people my own age especially find this couple hard to take.
I just can't with them.
but she clearly has a strong personality, so I wouldn't want to be friends with her.
If both sides just give up on each other and bottle it all inside instead, it eventually blows up.
Both marriage and dating only last when you're with someone similar to yourself.
It's the wife who's putting up with it.
Even her fans know the wife is the selfish one, lol
Does she really look like the type of wife who'd put up with things?
>>But deciding to take that job was your own choice
This was probably about the low-rated drama on Fuji TV recently, and it turned into a fight between them too 😐
Well, no matter who's in it, nobody watches Fuji TV anymore, so it can't be helped.
It was a drama where the doctor husband says "I want you to stay home and focus on the kids' education," and she goes "I want to work, so let's divorce."
The show itself was just bad, regardless of Fuji TV.
Isn't that just because you're not part of the vulgar crowd?
Maybe you'd prefer something more like Miki Nakatani's refined life with her Austrian husband, or Koyuki and Matsuken's back-to-nature lifestyle.
I'm self-aware enough to know I'm not classy either, given that I hang out on 5ch's entertainment board, but these two take tackiness to a whole other level beyond that.
No, I meant I live with my parents and get irritated when our bathroom-sink times overlap?
Oh, so it was about not getting along with your parents, not a spouse. My bad then.
That's exactly why everyone moves out to live alone when home is painful — so why would you get married?
You're saying everyone moves out to live alone because home is painful—
but aren't you still living with your parents?
Are you planning on marrying your little brother or your parents or something?
There's no guarantee my spouse would be a good-natured person who yields to me and puts up with things.
In fact, even in this article, it's the husband who snaps at his wife's bad mood.
Huh?
You'd already know that much by the time you're dating, wouldn't you?
Background and talking points
Akiyoshi Nakao and Rio Nakai married in 2015 and are known as a celebrity couple raising children together. TBS’s “A-Studio+” regularly uses a format where a questionnaire to the guest’s spouse draws out an unexpected side of them, and Tsurube’s “What an idiot!” was simply a reaction that came out of that flow. What divided the thread was whether Nakai’s account actually counted as “surprising” — from early on, the view that it “wasn’t surprising” dominated. At the same time, the discussion spread to speculation over which spouse really does the enduring in the household power dynamic, and to posts from single users anxious about the small frictions of married life. One point left untouched in the exchange: the personality description of Nakao revealed on the show came not from his own self-report but from his wife’s questionnaire answer.
