On February 28, 2025, EXILE member TAKAHIRO discussed the nuanced dynamics of attraction during his appearance on the Fuji TV program "Sake No Tsumami Ni Naru Hanashi." Joined by fellow guests including comedian Yoshimura Takashi, the conversation took a candid turn as TAKAHIRO spoke about the instinctive nature of male attraction, even within the bounds of committed relationships.
Yoshimura, who recently married, reflected on his own experiences with temptation, expressing his concerns over maintaining fidelity. He noted how he inadvertently started to notice attractive women again after getting married. When TAKAHIRO was asked to share his thoughts, he confessed, "My wife sometimes tells me, 'I saw you look,'" indicating the playful banter and mutual awareness shared between partners.
This moment sparked humorous exchanges among the guests, with TAKAHIRO referring to being scolded by his spouse, actress Takei Emi, about occasionally being caught admiring other women. "Sometimes, she says, 'You were definitely looking at her!'" he elaborated, creating laughter among the panel.
Setting the stage for the discussion, comedian Gotou Yoshihide prompted TAKAHIRO about the supposed tendency of married men to gaze at other women.

"Just like you look at flowers when you see them blossoming, it’s natural to glance at beautiful women," he stated, using this analogy to clarify his perspective.
Later, Yoshimura provided insight on his feelings of bewilderment over observing attractive women post-marriage. He described his time on vacation with his wife and sister-in-law, expressing how he initially thought he'd acquire the necessary mind-set of commitment immediately after getting married.

This admission drew laughter, but it also elicited remarks from the female guests who responded, calling his revelations "the worst" and questioning how he might handle real temptation. Facing the playful scrutiny, Yoshimura humorously grasped the gravity of his situation, hinting at the trials of marriage.
