I don't think you should let them off the hook like that. There is no evidence that management is behind the "prostitution". That makes the girls involved into victims, and I don't buy it. I suspect that management knew of their relationships but turned a blind eye because it was good for business and convenient and there were some powerful guys or powerful parents involved (of the guys and the girls), so it simply wasn't worth rocking the boat. Saying they're "good" girls and just were following management's direction completely washes their hands of any responsibility and I think that's crap. It's far more likely that management just went along with it than management instigated it and the girls were just victims of evil management. The girls and "gang" involved are evil. Management is just stupid as all hell.
Wait a minute, I thought the audition was done months ago? Why he should care with all of NGT-mess while he is too busy with... Techi?
And as mentioned before they had the option to not do any of this. Maho said she chose not to participate in whatever the other women were doing. So, again, it goes back to NGT's management for allowing their employees to bend the rules as they desire cause it brought in more money?? more attention?? Higher SSK results?? IDK what their end goal was here. I do wonder what's going on now...Maho really made a fool out of management and she's just one woman fighting the system right now. I hope she's alright.
3rd paragraph: "The first broadcast will feature the tense audition which took place back in September through December and introduce all 40 members." ------------------------------------------------------- Wide na Show with Sasshi talked about Maho and the press conference.
He's a troll and he feels invincible because of money and the powerful people he can call on. He hasn't clearly broken any laws so the police won't look at him. The only thing he has to fear are angry fans and I guess he doesn't feel like they're a real threat. https://news.headlines.auone.jp/stories/showbiz/news/12235984 Sasshi was on FujiTV this morning and said she's not satisfied with management's explanations or AKS's handling of the matter. Mod note: do not double post.
Sasshi said nothing as always! Well I think she couldn't say more, she is still part of AKS mngmnt, even she is not part of NGT's mngmnt... http://akb48taimuzu.livedoor.biz/archives/55064688.html 終わったと会社が思ってはいけない but this sounds like she is support mngmnt... and I don't hear real support from her to Maho not this time not before.
Sorry, but how is this saying nothing? [私も会見を見ていて、結局納得していない] She directly says she does not buy management's explanations. She said absolutely nothing that supports management except that she doesn't think NGT will disband. She rejects management's representation of the story - that's not "nothing".
It's more like "yes, it's wrong" than concrete criticism and really identify the problems. Just beating around the bush
LOL HKT48指原莉乃(26)は、24日のフジテレビ系「ワイドナショー」(日曜午前10時)に出演し、「(委員会の説明に)納得がいかない」と思いを語った。 「第三者委員会の存在がよくわからない。AKS寄りの意見になってしまう。誰を立てたらいいのかわからない」と疑問を呈した。指原もAKS会社側には「(問題を)終わりにしていいんですか」と意見していたことも明らかにした。会見まで「待って欲しい」と言われていたが、「それであの会見だったので、何とかしないと」と納得していない気持ちを話した。 Read before commenting
Spoiler: March 23 (Part 2) March 23 (part 2) http://40298ch.com/test/read.cgi/karakoro/1548413013/285 Mobame of Nishigata. Some people feel like the mobames of Ogiyuka and Gatanee are written by the same person. Oguma mobame. Riko and Rena deleted their twitter profile text. Yagami Kumi's angry tweets. Sasshi tweeted about 'Mahohon'. Reporter writing about Maho being one of the 12 despite Matsumura denying the possibility during the conference. Maho's twitter passed 200k followers, ending up in 1st place of the top100 weekly follower increase ranking. (at 215k right now) March 24 http://40298ch.com/test/read.cgi/karakoro/1548413013/290 TBS NSta about press conference. Sashihara on Wide na Show. Segment about the case on Sunday Japon. Murakumo and Sugahara also unfollowed NGT's official twitter. Inaoka tweeting and then getting called out. Daily Shinchou article. Article by Kazuko Ito, a human rights attorney. NGT management asked weekly reporters to show some self-restraint. Nakai Rika hasn't posted on twitter since the report came out. (No other NGT members did except Maho, Riko and Yukirin) More onlines article than you can shake a stick at. ----------------------------------------------OCR'd 3rd party committee report: https://www65.atwiki.jp/ngtinpbs-nakama/pages/58.html
Not just Rika. No member has tweeted since Maho's tweets. Did they impose another Twitter hiatus like after Maho's first Twitter storm.
Well, in that mess of a presscon, one of the first thing that lame guy said was something like: "Yeah Akimoto-san is the main producer, but he only takes cares of the artistic side of the groups, everything that is not related to that, is delegated to other people from management" So... figures ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There appears to be some speculation about Dasu's no-show today on the TBS 'Sunday Japan' TV programme, that it could be connected to some comments which she made on the NGT case? I've found this article about that: https://news.nicovideo.jp/watch/nw5039726 Can anyone shed any light on this rumour?
SunJapo announced on their website they would talk about the 3PC report and that Dasu would comment on it. The day before, they changed it and removed her name. They then responded to people who were surprised that she wasn't on by saying she was never scheduled to appear. It could simply be an error of their promo department, but with all the lying going around, people are paranoid and speculate it could be something more.
Maho's graduation is a foregone conclusion from here. If nothing else, she should just do it as an F you to NGT.
I don't know. I think continuing to be a thorn in their side and forcing them to fire her is a much bigger F-you.
Agreed. Also she absolutely shouldn't graduate until she's financially provided for, say for at least a year as compensation. It's a pity she probably isn't able to consult a lawyer of her own.
Please more detail Dasu's comment. Does she support Mahohon or not? Currently Kuumin and Shibata Aya has comment criticizing managements and support Mahohon so I hope so does Dasu About Aki-P, I doubt he even doesn't remember NGT's existence
None of them were verified to begin with. edit: Ogiyuka's twitter from 3/16 on twpro.jp vs. Sashihara's twitter from the same site currently Google cache dates on the other member accounts vary (Mahohon's is after the conference so of no use), but from what I remember none of them were verified even back in January.
