    wow, this incident is all over Japanese news. Any chance NGT/AKS wants to sweep this under their rug is all but dead.

    They're really trying though. I don't know if anyone read ARAMA!Japan, but their recent article on this got taken down too.

    The one I've seen go around the most is #JusticeForMahohon and #FightForMaho

    This is just... horrifying. Itʼs incredibly awful that the members planned this out so well.

    I 100% agree. We are too often taught to be scared of men, or at least take caution around men and when alone. If we canʼt trust other women and girls anymore, this really is a sad world to live in for a woman. I could never imagine doing this to another girl or woman

    I think this is difficult to judge as I assume so far it is some kind of dorm building or single-room housing management provided for some of the girls, so there is probably loads of them. From what I infer from the tweets, a lot of members that also live in the building came out when the police interrogated the man/men and they revealed the members involved (as one of the tweets reads that girls started crying when they confessed). So there is probably perpetrators but also supporters and friends within the building

    She has to be "coprincipal". Coprincipals of the same case may not receive the same degree of penalties though. Seemingly, there are 2 members involving, one informed her address and this one is deemed the accomplice, another informed her schedule and told the guys to attack Maho and this one is deemed a coprincipal.

    The ones responsible to solve this mess is not Akimoto but Terada, the chairman of AKS and the executive of Sony Music Japan.

    Women being apologetic/self-blaming is Japanese culture. I doubt she can get over this trauma. This sounded very severe. Without a proper psychological treatment, she may forever suffer the paranoia. And, we know that East Asians stigmatize psychological patients, the likelihood she will take the treatment is low.

    What her motivation? She's already a more popular member of the group and to fabricate this up doesn't seem to benefit her in any way unless she has the plan to move to another agency but that doesn't seem to be the case. And, if this is fake, why the agency doesn't kick her out and openly lash her? Instead, it puts her in hiatus and keeps silent. Also, it has been reported that she actually was attacked.

    likely not. We can infer that the members attacked her by proxies as she reported their relationships to the agency. Rika dated but her relationship already was published, there was no reason to report the known fact. Besides, on Dec 9, Maho posted Rika was honest person (i.e., she was openly vicious, not backstabbing type), this is so not Rika.

    Criminal grave case always takes time as the penalty is harsh and will ruin the life of the convicted. In real life, homicide cases usually take years.

    As a K-pop fan, my opinion is K-pop has its own dark side and only part shocking about this case is members attempting a serious physical harm on another member. Everything else is mundane.

    How? The very measure to guarantee the safety of members possibly is the extremely manipulative way. Every members must live in the same apartment and must have the manager escort them when they commute to and from the apartment. Also, the managers must be big gay guys. And, how many members NGT have? How many managers will be needed? How much the cost will be needed? Will the members be able to tolerate this level of control?

    What will get worse? Sadly, this case will eventually fade out. This case just shed the light onto the utter cruelty of rotational system, members are simply disposable products which can easily be replaced. More likely, Imamura will be saved but not Maho.

    Went on Twitter, searched up Mahohon’s name to see what’s up, turns out, it has spread to the point of no return. It has gotten to the point where even Kpoppers have been spreading about it and hate to admit here but when it gets to Kpopper, they will chase it to no end. Unless management comes out and take appropriate measures such as revealing who the members are, no one is going to be satisfied. If the members are revealed, others will be more assured as well since knowing the consequences, no other member(s) will dare to do the same thing ever.

    I seriously hope people will chase this issue until it is solved, if NGT as a group is going to damaged as a result to the point of it being having to be disbanded then so be it. Mahohon, other victims and criminals deserve justice and that is more important than the survival of the group.

    Can anyone give a short summary and full chronology about what happened please?

    We have to push the management until they tell us the truth. The fact that there's a "Scandal" leaked today by Bunshun is highly suspicious of cover up.

    And another fact than Niigata Gov supported NGT48 there will be another cover up

    Stay strong!

    It speaks for her friendly and gentle character to apologize so many times, but I am afraid she might do this because she assumes she is a "burden" to the group because of this incident and for speaking up. And that would be horrible because she is the victim and is not to blame at all and there are many other people who should apologize to her instead.

    I wonder what the police can do about the two suspects. Apparently they told the police they just wanted to talk to her and didn't do anything bad, so unless there are witnesses or any other form of evidence this is the classic case of their testimony against her testimony. That she was forced to keep her mouth shut for a month makes it even worse, because if she had e.g. bruises or something similar on her body to prove the attack they're long gone now, unless she documentated them in some form.
    At least the managers who wanted to cover up this incdent and the member(s) who leaked her info need to face internal consequences.

    > After theater performance Maho was going back to her NGT dorm (28.12.2018)
    > Upon entering her apartment a man grabbed her from behind and pinned her to the ground
    > A second man came out another member's apartment and held Maho as well
    > Someone showed up on the floor and the men escaped
    > Maho and the other member called the police, but upon further investigation the case was dropped and her mobile phone was taken from her by management & she was forbidden to explain the situation on her social media platforms
    > She made a Showroom cast without asking for permission and was cut midway

    Thats what I got from all the scattered translations

    AKS were probably in conference all day with their lawyers and PR people. Niigata local government, Dentsu and Sony amongst other parties were probably getting involved as well.

    If I was the parent of a school age NGT member and I heard this shit I'd tell them to focus on their schoolwork and forget about this idol stuff.

    Isn't that scary? Like pretty much everyone thought of Rika when they heard this, but if it isnt truly Rika, it must mean someone who hid behind a nice character no? Or was there someone else apart of Rika that had the bad,evil character?
    I know idols real personality are not what is shown on tv but this is such a change from what they portray.
    I find scary, people who act as nice infront of others but are evil behind their backs, at least we know rika isnt the best person and you can stay away from her because you already know but with ppl that fake

    Right now I think only way the management can save the group is to deal with culprits using an appropriate measure.
    To keep silent or try to deny about the fact that really happened will make the matter worse and
    can cause more the damage with the group's reputation than try to deal with the problem straightforwardly.

    Well, let's hope the management choose to do the right thing.

    the worst of people are those wolves in sheep's clothing. the thing with rika is that if theres something she doesn't like about you she'll flatout say it to your face

    This is terrible news.
    I am now feeling very angry because this is not what an idol deserves, especially being betrayed by her fellow members.

    The whole case and how AKS + NGT management handle this situation are really mess. Even they tried to cover the case with news about ex-AKBShinbun reporter :fp:
    And now I doubt if NGT dominating AKB RH 2019 or Ogiyuka winning SSK 2019 preliminary will save group's reputation from this mess :censored:

    Slightly note, I'm more interested with that girl who leaked the address. Is she very precious for NGT (future) so she is backed up by management? Like, at first everyone thought Rika-hime was the leaker because she had a scandal (and is backed up by *cough*OhtaPro*cough*) -but apparently it's not her. Which means, that girl is more 'precious' than all NGT girls -even Rika-hime and Ogiyuka :blink:

    who is more precious than rika and ogiyuka tho? like rika has a huge agency behind her and ogiyuka is the most popular member in ngt so who?

    and at least you know somewhat what kind of person she is, if you dont like her you can stay away from het, but you never know who is a wolf esp if they act as sheeps

    Mod edit: Merged Double Post. You know you can edit your own post, right?
