On October 26, 2022, it was reported that Sakurai had been engaging in an extramarital affair with a writer of his P.S. Genki Desu. Takahiro radio program. A month prior, it was publicly disclosed that he had been married to a former voice actress for nearly 20 years, although the writer had allegedly not been aware of his marriage as they had been in a relationship for 10 years and intending to marry. His previously announced roles as Haruaki Karuma in AYAKA and Kusuriuri in Mononoke (Movie) had been recast as a result.
On March 31, 2023, it was jointly announced with his talent agency "Intention" that they are ending their contract, as Sakurai requested to leave as a way of taking sole responsibility of his actions and for self-reflection.
