My Take
Nagase never fit the neat idol template. In Tokio he sang and played guitar in a group that genuinely held its own instruments, and in 2002 he won the Yujiro Ishihara Newcomer Award as an actor. What stays with me is the ending. In 2021 he left his agency and simply stepped off the stage. Most people cling. Leaving that cleanly takes nerve.
