Eguchi Takuya Responds To FRIDAYâs Article [Blog Post Translation]
âHandsome Voice Actor, Eguchi Takuya and Beautiful ex-BanG Dream! Voice Actress Secretly Living Togetherâ
As reported on June 25th 2020 by gossip publication, FRIDAY, Eguchi Takuya is currently living with a woman. It is suspected to be ex-voice actress, Endo Yurika.
In response to the article he updated his blog with a post.
âEven though my company denied various interviews with that weekly magazine, they still went ahead and ran the article lolâ
ââŠwhich means, I believe I need to share my opinion on the matter.â
âIn the case that in the future I have a partner that I have the option to marry, I believe I myself would like to make that official announcement.â
âFor me, there may be some people that think âDo you need to even make that statement?â, but there may be some people that would rather hear it from a weekly publication that will run their own articles as they please because it would be faster than hearing it from me directly.â
âWhat I originally thought was, people would take me as I am, as âEguchi Takuya the entertainerâ. As such, I want to be someone that lives an extraordinary life without sharing any private details. Then again, the truth is there are people out there that donât care about that. This is the era we live in.â
âThatâs why, even if I share the bare minimum, I think it would be better for people to judge that information for themselves.â
âThese past few months, there have been strange vehicles and people chasing after me, so while I feel more or less better about my true colours as a gloomy person have been revealed, this is not the kind of life I signed up for when I aimed to be a voice actorâŠis what Iâve been thinking. I believe this is a cause of mental anguish for anyoneâŠand thinking about it in any normal circumstance itâs frightening. Well, Iâm not going to cry myself to sleep over it. Itâs the system as it is. Going forward this [story] will be a matter for the industry [to deal with].â
âNonetheless, I love this job and I wouldnât change it. For everyone involved [in this industry] theyâre all so kind, and I think they love their jobs too. I just donât want to give in to an irrational system that makes me feel stressed.â
âThis blog is here for me to coexist with this kind of irrationality since I want to continue being an actor until the day I die.â
âIf youâve read this far, thank you very much!â
âI will devote myself to giving it my all to continue to deliver the best entertainment.â

(I think many of us have thought about the topic of the entertainment industry and the right to privacy, not just for Japanese entertainers but for people around the world.
I think Egu has made some really good points in his blog post, and I feel you can really get where heâs coming from when he talks about wanting to share his own information rather than have you hear or read it from other platforms because it can always be skewed.)

Thank you for reading the translation, and for reading this far! Apologies for any mistakes in translation! I hope this blows over soon for him because having had such a gross invasion of privacy SUCKS ASS. Weâre behind you, dude!
