 The speakers are expected to be new president Noriyuki Higashiyama, former president Keiko Fujishima, president of affiliate company Johnny&#8217;s Island Yoshihiko Inohara, and a lawyer, as in the previous press conference. The media are explaining the main points of the press conference, which will be a partition.
 The Daily Sports dated September 29 titled the press conference &#8220;Four Points to Watch,&#8221; and since the announcement of the continuation of the company name at the press conference on September 7 caused a public outcry, it listed (1) the company name change as a must, (2) the handling of shares held by Julie, (3) concrete measures for compensation for damages, and (4) measures for the future of the company&#8217;s talents and employees. He then pointed out the following.
 What is required at the press conference on October 2 is a definite &#8220;answer. Not only the announcement of the new company name, which will be changed to &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s,&#8221; the shares held by Mr. Julie, compensation for damages, and the plan to establish a new company to transfer the talent, but also the process leading up to that decision will be the focus of attention.
 New revelations in the month since the last press conference include the allegations of Julie&#8217;s exemption from paying inheritance tax, as reported by the Weekly Bunshun, and the fact that Higashiyama&#8217;s former manager had been &#8220;fired&#8221; from the office in September due to repeated sexual harassment.
 In addition, former Executive Vice President Suguru Shirahase, who is said to be &#8220;the man who knows everything,&#8221; was asked at the last press conference &#8220;Why isn&#8217;t he here? According to a source in the entertainment industry, &#8220;He has already left the Johnny&#8217;s Office.
 He has already left Johnny&#8217;s. He should not have come to the press conference. He should not have come to the press conference. He has been making a lot of phone calls to people saying, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know anything.

 The last press conference lasted about four hours and ten minutes. The previous press conference lasted about four hours and ten minutes, as most of the time was spent in a question-and-answer session.
 This time, on the other hand, it was stated that it would begin at 2:00 p.m. and last for two hours, ending at 4:00 p.m. The press conference will begin with an explanation of future policies, followed by a question-and-answer session.
 The time may be fixed due to the location of the press conference, but I wonder if all the questions will be cleared up in less than two hours,&#8221; said a person involved in a wide-ranging TV show.
 The last press conference got off to a disturbing start when a reporter from the Japanese Communist Party&#8217;s newspaper &#8220;Shimbun Aka Hata&#8221; asked a question about the harassment allegations against the new president, Mr. Higashiyama. A well-known reporter from the Tokyo Shimbun, Ms. Kinoshiko Mochizuki, also asked a question that was like a &#8220;solo performance,&#8221; and according to a source, &#8220;It was unexpected even for Mr. Higashiyama.
 According to a source, &#8220;It was unexpected for Mr. Higashiyama, and he could not hide his fatigue after the press conference. Learning from this, this time there may be an implicit &#8220;selection&#8221; of questioners.
 He also pointed out that, &#8220;The most recent example is the &#8220;Kis-Myanmar&#8221; event.
 Most recently, Kyohei Iida, a former member of &#8220;Kis-My-Ft2,&#8221; joined Johnny&#8217;s Sexual Assault Association and revealed that the reason he left the group, which he had explained as &#8220;academic,&#8221; was because of sexual assault by Mr. Johnny.
 Fans are very upset by this new revelation concerning a group that is still active. We will have to hear about the circumstances surrounding this at the press conference.
 This is a major press conference that will determine the survival of Johnny&#8217;s. The reporters will have to find out how much they can get out of it. How far will the reporters be able to go in their answers?
