From Inapooh twitter... So disgusting (Mod edit: removed oversized picture) 何もしてないのに謝ってるメンバーが普通に可哀想だわ。。 ご心配おかけしてすみませんって、馬鹿な奴が勝手に心配してるだけで謝る必要ないでしょ。。
first of all, wow. Mahohon is such a ball- buster. she's not hesitating to take them down and i am loving it. you go, girl. second of all, if the testimony the 3rd party committee published is accurate, wouldn't that mean that the involved members were not performing the night of the attack? since no one else got off at Maho's stop and iirc she said the involved members lived in her complex. i might be misremembering that tho Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
I doubt she'd still be able to be an idol. Maybe a talento. I think she'd do great as a women's rights advocate lol. She has a promising career as the face of feminism in Japan.
Its easier said than done She will get a lot more harrasment as a face of feminism in japan, a hell lot more
So, now, we know why Tano & the gang were defended hard by the agency. It's not because they were popular members making money. The agency was the one encouraged them to date/regularly hang out with those guys. They were "good" girls complying to the guidance of the agency. How could the agency punish them? It's said one of the guys was a nephew of Burning's executive, those in this clique may have similar backgrounds linking to the dark/grey side of J-entertainment industry. As Burning is like the ultimate yakuza of J-music industry, it won't be surprising that AKS also is under Burning's wing. And, since NGT's board was an organ of AKS, I wonder if there was similar matchmaking in other groups. At very least, AKS must know the escort business in NGT after the Maho incident. The said 12 members in inappropriate relationship with fans could not be all Team N members, must be other teams' ones too. Were not any of you surprised to see Takumi, the vice director, instead of Hayakawa, the director, at the press con? My theory that Hayakawa was appointed for PR, fake feminism stunt, fortified. I don't think she knew if the committee really did interview the police officer. I suppose the report differed from what she learnt from the police/ police report. Perhaps. For example, Agency Y* has been sus involving in drug and prostitution business and the Channel MB* is digging into tax evasion accusation on Y*. It is questioned if Y* using MB* to divert public interest to less serious issue. It can be worse believe me. 1. Likely not, judging from how small the theater is. 2. In Japan, sports newspapers have celeb gossip segments integrated. Maho may be unofficially banned from the ent industry. Even if not banned, she has presented herself to be "uncontrollable" and unlikely will be preferable to Japanese talent agencies.
Trying to peddle an article from back in January right now, while also complaining why their "journalists" were banned from yesterday's press conference is a bit too much even for shameless people like Bunshun, no wonder all the comments ridiculing them. Speaking of which... As I brought up somewhere else before, it should be noted that not only tabloid articles tried their hardest to propagate the excuse provided by the attackers themselves (that they, I repeat, "wanted to meet Maho", but she suddenly started screaming out of surprise and they had to put their hand on her mouth to avoid confusion), but what's worse they tried to also make the image of Maho herself appear as suspicious by claiming things related to the police examinations that in fact didn't happen, or were actually the opposite of what is said. Both Bunshun and Friday claimed that Maho had denied the police from taking fingerprints from the entrance door, but as page 9 of the report says, the fingerprints check was indeed regularly performed. Another claim was that she denied a house search of her own apartment at the time of the incident, but as pointed out here, for example, this is something which requires a warrant and the police can't perform at their own discretion, plus this is not something you can allow or deny, so those tabloids didn't even do their homeworks. I can tolerate spotty stories being credited to so-called "NGT48 insiders" where the sequence is all messed up, but this part is such a blatant discrediting operation against the victim (and an oddly specific one to boot), that I have to wonder if this isn't grounds for a lawsuit at this point.
March 23 http://40298ch.com/test/read.cgi/karakoro/1548413013/284 Newspaper fallout of the press conference Niigata Nippo article. It was also reported on NHK morning news at 6am and 7am. All NGT48 members have lost their twitter 'verified' status after the conference. Bunshun said they were barred from attending the conference. The top news on yahoo reads "Akimoto Yasushi", "Niigata", "Betrayal" and "NGT" crypto vertically. (Ugh) ----------------------------------- What are you even saying? Hayakawa Maiko (NGT theater manager) was there with Matsumura Takumi (AKS executive) along with the assistant theater manager that no one cares about. She answered a bunch of questions. https://img.kyodonews.net/english/public/images/posts/87c767dc66899c9f6a65ade6e53cdcde/photo_l.jpg
Holy shit. ---- The ones who made that report & the ones who gave it an OK... do they have brains? did they think Maho would just stay silent reading their "facts"?
http://akb48taimuzu.livedoor.biz/archives/55061825.html ok, it's become more and more disgusting. some of insiders from this newspaper said that one of this 12 girls is Maho? Google: "In a third-party committee survey, the names of 12 specific members who were pointed out as" connections with fans " Actually there is also the name of Yamaguchi himself. It is not a story that has definite proof, but the members If all were to be disposed of, we would have to investigate Yamaguchi, the victim, to maintain fairness. But of course I can not do that. This is also a factor that made it a "don't care" member. this article DISGUSTING!
A quote from the comments "According to the article "There is a possibility that members who don't think much about Yamaguchi might have lied."" Well duh!!
https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20190323-00000021-tospoweb-ent by former ske member yagami kumi utterly disgusted that a girl got assaulted and left a scar in the heart forever https://twitter.com/kuumindesu/status/1109308070696378369 when she was a member, someone try to ambush her and was promptly discovered and dealt with by manager and co-workers, why they couldn't have done so? https://twitter.com/kuumindesu/status/1109308888568872960 destroing someone's life like this only to protect something? if they truly believe that was the best choice then they are devils https://twitter.com/kuumindesu/status/1109309588099129344
The only way AKS can sort of recover from this mess is disbanding NGT and cutting any ties they have with Niigata. I can't believe they're just sitting there like And where the fuck is AkiP? I hope more former members start blasting them as well (specially big names like Takamina, Tomochin and the like), cause it's what they deserve.
Normally I don't bother with such articles and I don't want to deal too much with them, but it needs to be pointed out that this one is a page from Tokyo Sports, not the best of sources, and this is one of those rumor articles they love to do. One of the rumors was to expain why they chose to let go the members involved with fans "unquestioned" instead of firing them all as ~promised~, saying one of those 12 members might have lied to turn the decision in their favor. Maybe they shouldn't write their stories so lightly, for the same reason as the other tabloids I mentioned. Anyway in creating the rumor it also shows the lack of research of whoever wrote it. Now that I have the chance to say it, on page 2 of the report it is said regarding the survery the committee had with members that: "As it is natural, not only at present but even from here on, any material where persons -- both named and unnamed -- can be identified isn't to be released to anyone outside of the committee, and this includes AKS". That means not even AKS is directly made to know who reported about who during those interrogations.
Sorry, that was a reference going practically back to the dawn of time lol. Back in 2008 AKB48 was singed to the Defstar record label, a subsidiary of Sony. They released the single Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008 and included randomly with the singles was one of 44 posters of the members at the time. If a fan collected all 44 posters they could exchange them for a ticket for a spring festival event. The Japanese consumer authority ruled that this was a predatory sales practice and a violation of their rule and this caused a scandal. Sony and AKB parted ways soon after which apparently was just a coincidence
You may notice my comment was deleted. Sorry, it didn't quote properly for me so I was trying to fix it but it seems you understood my question. Thank you for the response.
