In Japan, the issue surrounding what's colloquially known as "Celebrity Tax" has sparked a heated debate. This term refers to the additional scrutiny, violations of privacy, and even defamation celebrities face due to their fame. Various Japanese celebrities, backed by public figures, are voicing their concerns about this unofficial 'tax'. The controversy gained momentum recently when a popular artist became a target of malicious slander. A growing call for change is resonating across the Japanese entertainment industry.

In Japan, the line between public and private life for celebrities often becomes blurred, leading to the phenomenon of "Celebrity Tax". Privacy rights are highly valued in the country, but celebrities often find their rights infringed due to their status. The issue has struck a chord with the public who, while used to hearing about scandals, are increasingly recognizing such incidents as breaches of an individual's rights rather than mere gossip or scandal.

In the US or EU, celebrities are also subject to greater scrutiny and invasions of privacy, but legal protection measures tend to be more potent. Issues such as harassment or defamation can carry substantial legal consequences. This contrasts with Japan, where the practice is more socially tolerated, leading to the controversy surrounding "Celebrity Tax".
