The October 16 issue of Bungeishunju (Bungeishunju) reported that Ren Meguro (28), one of the most popular members of the popular group Snow Man, is a smoker, drawing much attention. Kazunari Ninomiya looks super natural and cool “smoking with blond hair” in a scene from a movie. According to Bunshun, he is actually a smoker and prefers the brand “Marlboro Ice Blast Mega 5. Mr. Meguro is long past 20 years of age, and as an actor, as in “Sakamoto Days,” he may play a role in which he smokes. In that sense, I don’t think there is any problem, but it is also reported that “depending on the scene, a smoking area will be set up exclusively for him,” and Meguro is very considerate of his surroundings. In the past, an image of Meguro with what appeared to be a pack of cigarettes sticking out of her bag was spread around, so few people said they were shocked by this article. I like Meguro because I like Megumi smoking. I’m not a smoker at all, so I’d be really excited if my partner or Ren Meguro were smokers. However, Meguro is a very popular idol who has a contract with STARTO ENTERTAINMENT. Smoking has been banned in Osaka City since January of this year, and smokers have been feeling a little self-conscious in recent years, so it is likely that Meguro is more concerned about his surroundings. The company’s top talent, Takuya Kimura (52), is also known to be a heavy smoker. When Kimura’s daughters, Cocomi (24) and Koki, (22), were asked what they wanted their father to fix during a live Instagram broadcast in June 2020, he replied, “Cigarettes? He said, “Cigarettes. He is known to smoke a lot at home as well. It is said that at one time all five members of the five-member group Arashi, which will end its group activities at the end of next May, were smokers: Masaki Aiba (42), Jun Matsumoto (42), Kazuya Ninomiya (44), Satoshi Ono (44), and Sho Sakurai (43). Today, at least Mr. Aiba and Mr. Matsumoto do not smoke in private,” said an entertainment professional.
