Komuro, 59, who produced many million-seller songs for top Japanese pop singers including Namie Amuro, said he is retiring a day after the Shukan Bunshun weekly reported that he had an affair with a female nurse while his wife was struggling with the after-effects of a stroke.

The magazine said Komuro had dalliances with the nurse at a Tokyo hotel and at each other's homes in December and early January.

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD TETSUYA KOMURO CHEAT ON HIS WIFE KEIKO!?

We're really heartbroken to hear this news. Gosh, I have to wonder what is going to happen with J-pop now that Tetsuya Komuro simply shot himself in his foot...

I have to wonder what's going to happen in J-pop - other than AKB/Johnny's - first Namie's retiring, and now Tetsuya Komuro, all because of a sex scandal, is going to retire as well...

This is a dark day in J-pop indeed.
