Celebrities need love, too, which seems to be the point of "Ai no Onayami Keiketsu" (Solutions to the Anguish of Love; Nihon TV, Tues., 8:54 p.m.), where a group of stars and former stars receive romantic advice from a marriage counselor, a psychiatrist and a fortune teller.

The guests on this week's show all talk about past opportunities for love and marriage that were somehow confounded by circumstances. All seem to believe that if they had married a certain someone, their lives would have turned out much better.

Kazumi Moroboshi, formerly of Hikaru Genji, the most popular boy-idol group of the late 1980s and early '90s, tells how when he was in the group he dated a famous female idol but that their respective agencies prevented them from marrying. Actors Arthur Kuroda and Miyuki Sugiura both reveal how they were once in love and why they broke up. And Mi, one half of the hugely influential J-pop duo Pink Lady, relates her own story of love sacrificed to show business.
