Overview

In July 2024, former Fuji TV announcer Watanabe Nagisa became visibly upset during a recording of the YouTube program REAL VALUE, crying and leaving the set. The on‑air incident involved discussion of comedian Tanoshingo’s alleged misconduct and a director’s staged reconciliation. Following the episode, Watanabe announced her departure from Fuji Television in August 2024 and spoke publicly about her PTSD and ongoing health concerns.

Later that month, Watanabe fainted on a train, was taken to hospital by ambulance, and posted an Instagram note thanking two passengers who assisted her. The incident sparked further online attention when comedian Tanoshin Go posted an insensitive comment, which he subsequently deleted and apologized for, intensifying the public backlash.

Together, the incidents illustrate a series of health‑related events affecting Watanabe Nagisa in mid‑2024, accompanied by media scrutiny and social‑media reactions.
