Things over there can be so weird sometimes. Yeah, he is in the wrong for cheating, obviously. But I don't know why that means he can't make music anymore. One really doesn't have to do with the other, but this is Japan. lol. Actually, I'm more surprised that this is a big deal at all in a way because Japanese men cheating on their wives is pretty par for the course in my experience over there. It only ever seems to be a big deal if a wife is caught cheating on her husband.

Honestly, I really don't see why this would cause him to retire unless he just wants to, to begin with. I mean, Komuro has had scandals his entire career. All throughout the 90s he was known as a cheater who slept with several of his artists. He was also known for doing drugs (the most major offense in Japan usually). He has also been involved in fraud scandals. All of that and he didn't retire. He has spent the last several years cleaning up his image, but you know what they say, once a cheater, always a cheater.

That said, I love many, many of the songs he produced.
