 It is not only the Johnny&#8217;s office that continues to be rocked by earthquakes. One after another, members of the &#8220;Johnny&#8217;s Sexual Assault Victims&#8217; Association&#8221; are leaving the organization.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Yukihiro Oshima, a former Johnny&#8217;s Jr.
 Good evening, I have officially resigned from the association. There was a discrepancy in ideas and direction with the Association of Persons Concerned.
 Even if I continue to be active in the association, it seems to be in a different direction from my idea of a solution, so I will be moving on to a different path around here!
 I am going to take a different path now! She said that she would continue her activities as an &#8220;individual&#8221; for the time being.
 On the 12th, Kyohei Iida, a former member of &#8220;Kis-My-Ft2,&#8221; also announced that he would be leaving the group. He reported it on his &#8220;X&#8221; page.
 On the 4th, Yasunobu Shiga, a former member of the idol group &#8220;Ninja&#8221; of yesteryear, also announced his resignation from the association. He said that the reason was a difference in perception and direction between Junya Hiramoto, the representative, and Shimon Ishimaru, the vice representative.
 The cause of the rift was an exchange that took place on March 3, when the parties&#8217; association met with Noriyuki Higashiyama and Julie Fujishima Keiko Fujishima. The discussion lasted for two hours, and according to a source with knowledge of the situation
 &#8220;Hiramoto and Ishimaru were so excited that they asked the Johnny&#8217;s office (SMILE-UP.) to &#8216;hire them. They exchanged contact information and said, &#8216;Let&#8217;s have a meeting. This made the other members feel uncomfortable.
 The Johnny&#8217;s Office (SMILE-UP.) was established on October 17.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Johnny&#8217;s changed its name to SMILE-UP. on October 17. The company will only provide compensation services for victims of sex trafficking. Hiramoto and others thought that by having actual sex victims enter there, they would be able to deliver the voices of the field. &#8230;&#8230;
 The Johnny&#8217;s office is a partner in trouble. The fact that the head of the office, Mr. Higashiyama and Mr. Julie, came out to help may cause some elation, but it is premature to say, &#8216;Hire me. But it is premature to ask them to hire us.
 The aforementioned Mr. Shiga is said to have been disgusted with the late Mr. Janney Kitagawa even in the association of the parties concerned, and to have demanded that he be brought to justice as an international issue.
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" He has always talked about his &quot;lack of money&quot;..."></div>
In addition, we were not pleased with Vice Representative Ishimaru&#8217;s &#8220;remarks&#8221; on YouTube.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 During an appearance on a live-streaming program of &#8220;Arc Times&#8221; operated by Tokyo Shimbun reporter Kinoshiko Mochizuki and others, he said of Mr. Shiga&#8217;s resignation
 I would like to respect his opinion because it is his own problem. It is a matter of his own life, so I cannot intervene, even if it is the association of the people involved.
 He was very clear about this. In a discussion about the amount of compensation
 &#8220;I have often been slandered and told, &#8216;You&#8217;re just after the money! I dare to say here that I am not here for the money. I dare to say here that we are only after money!
 I dare to say here that it&#8217;s all about the money!
 If we don&#8217;t get the money, they will lower the prices for the rest of us. We have to set a precedent.
 We have to set a precedent.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 In fact, since Mr. Janney Kitagawa has passed away and cannot be charged with a crime, the only solution is money. However, if they send out the message &#8220;for money&#8221; at this time, the essence of the problem will be scaled down, and the members who want to appeal to the international community will not be satisfied.
 A person involved in a wide-ranging news show who knows the association of the parties involved said, &#8220;That was Mr. Ishimaru&#8217;s stand.
 Ishimaru&#8217;s stand-up act. He is the kind of person who makes a joke about running out of money even in the off-the-record talk after the press conference. He may not have meant any offense by what he said, but he may have been so excited that his &#8220;true feelings&#8221; may have come out.
 He is still in talks with SMILE about compensation.
 The compensation talks with SMILE have just begun. President Higashiyama has clearly stated that compensation would be &#8220;beyond the law,&#8221; and he is prepared to raise the amount of compensation, which is generally estimated to be around 3 million yen, significantly.
 It is said that the amount would be around 9 to 12 million yen per person based on the &#8220;three-fold rule. However, whether the associations concerned will be satisfied with this amount is another matter. The gap between the two parties is so large that some say it will not be an easy settlement.
 It seems that there are still many disturbing developments awaiting the parties.
