Tomonori Jinnai - the Stupidest Guy Ever Lived

Flabbergasting news ran through Japan yesterday ―a well-known married couple, a Japanese comedian Tomonori Jinnai and a famous actress Norika Fujiwara, decided to divorce each other, an informed source reported. Speaking of Fujiwara and Jinnai, even in the middle of typing this very paragraph, it can be vividly remembered that the sudden official announce of their deciding being married surprised people in Japan so much at that time that every sports newspaper published next day highlighted this news as if it wanted to say “unbelievable”. Why did their marriage draw people’s attention so much? The most plausible reason is that there is a big gap between the two in terms of their career, economic strength, and so on. This is how the Japanese generally think about the two: Fujiwara is a very prestigious and sophisticated actress in Japan while Jinnai, though it is true that he successfully gets an acceptable amount of publicity, still is just a mediocre Japanese comedian. So when their marriage was brought into light, most people thought Fujiwara deserved a better man, and therefore quite a few of them anticipated that they would divorce after all sooner or later. And now their expectation is proved to be right. This “disparate married couple” now is going to put a perpetual end to their only-two-year-old conjugal life.
According to an article, the reason of their divorce was at first explained plainly by a hackneyed excuse: the lack of time spent together because of each being too busy in his/her own work. But today more scandalous and curiosity-provoking news ran into us. Fujiwara’a mother, with full tears in her eyes, desperately claimed that they did not decide to divorce owing to pressure of business, saying: “My daughter has been careful not to lose time to spend with her husband; constantly making dinner herself, and giving priority to his working schedule instead of hers under the agreement with her staffs.” And she also disclosed that in last April Jinnai, mainly staying at Osaka, coolly told Fujiwara, Tokyo, that she was not allowed to visit him, and to make matters worse, the next month, he said to Fujiwara like this: “I don’t think I’m suitable for marital life. We should be done.” Plus, according to Fujiwara’s mother, Fujiwara once said to her crying ― “Mom, don’t blame him, and believe me. For now, it is true that I’m devastated, but I feel it’s worth-while giving it another shot. I really love him. So, just wait and believe time will solve everything.” However, contrary to Fujiwara’s modest and tolerent attitude to her husband, there was a contemptible rumour flying among those concerned that Jinnai was cheating on her, flirting with some other women.
If Jinnai was really having inappropriate relationships with other women, he will not be able to dispel the stigmatized title as the stupidest man in the world who lost a wife too fabulous for him. I have personally hoped the two gets along together well, and that’s why this scandalous news is penetrating my heart all the more potently.
