NGT48 Assault Case

https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/akb48/news/201901170000884.html

so imamura is relocated to aks's director's office, while not directly dealing with members management he "will continue supporting ngt48 and akb48"
not ousted but promoted?

 

cmiiw but..... wouldn't the people within aks' directors office, be the ones directing the ngt managers on what to do...? if that's correct, that's a promotion, not a dismissal.

 

true, and i guess everyone hope imamura won't get anything better than tgsk. tgsk had much wrongdoings in his private life, but he was good on his job, if not the best manager aks ever have.
guess we have to wait and see if this new post takes on real tasks or not.

 

I feel bad for the innocent girls who have their faces all over newspaper and in media just because they’re in NGT

For some reason, Bunshun is trying to run with a story "admitting" that the apartment on the other side belonged to Ayakani but she had moved out one year and a half ago already (and Mahohon wasn't aware of it yet?) and her involvement was all a big misunderstanding. https://t.co/wfaMeQKonJ
Shuukan Bunshun is pushing an idea (relation chart in grey) that is contradictory.

The sentences in black = Bunshun‘s version of events.

sr captions already shown that tano is using the same room before and after that 'move out', iirc.

well, could be different of the same building, could be another building of the same complex, could be anything. or she didn't move at all.

 

And they said that they already banned them from the theater. Banning them by letting them sit in the first row? What a joke.~

Do they really believe we are so stupid? I'm not a people person and never talk to my neighbors but I would notice if they change... More if it's a work colleague...
This Is all ridiculous...

 

if the video does not show watch the video here
disgusting.
Noe straights up like a high school bully here

 

All those YT dislikes...

 

^
^ Even if Noe and Ayaka have no relation to Maho's incident whatsoever (which i highly doubt at this point), they need to be removed for that video alone. The news article of the ex, Manager being tied with duct tape has already been confirmed, so that showroom is just disgusting to see... I'm beyond disappointed that they could joke about something like that and show no remorse.

 

In regard to the video, there remains the possibility that the entire idea of a duct-taped manager is derived from that video. In that case, using the manager's case as context to understand the video is, well, circular. If it comes from somewhere else, the tabloid in question hasn't yet revealed its source.

In regard to another recent post, I won't say much will try to make this my only statement on the topic, but...

Spoiler: #MahoToo

Attempting to pervert Mahohon's case into a crusade for "gender equality" will help no one. It's not going to make inroads into Japanese culture (at least not without destroying the entire idol world), it distracts from the very real problems with NGT management's handling of the stalker gang and member dating, and it isn't even what this case is really about. In fact management's failure to enforce the love ban--perhaps in a misguided attempt to modernise idols in line with Aki-P's message to Riripon--that led to this mess in the first place. Yet I can't see any real proponent of the #metoo movement supporting the ban.

There was nothing gender unequal about Mahohon apologizing: Japanese men do it all the time too even when their only fault is being too "noisy", or for someone else's mistakes. Dislike that aspect of Japanese culture all you like, but it's not going to change anytime soon, and imho fighting it is a waste of effort that could be better spent elsewhere.

 

NGT48 (excluding Yukirin) won't be participating in the NWM handshake event on Sunday (20th).

Do you have a source for this? If it's true I'd really like to know. Because that is sickening if true.

 

@wlerin ok this is something important... it’s not so much that women are pressured to apologize for being victimized (like you said men have that too) but the fact that victims don’t even get the right to feel offended or inconvenienced. Basically, culturally you’re allowed to be mean but if you’re on the receiving end you can’t complain, effectively making it in the eyes of the public as a “victimless crime”. The second you speak up, you automatically inconvenience the people who wronged you, not like any of this wouldn’t have happened if the ones responsible hadn’t started it. Meiwaku outrage directed at the wrong people is the real issue.
