It’s all about the money! Ishimaru’s “ripple effect statement” demoralized the vice president… “Behind the Scenes” of the “Split” of the Johnny’s association.

In addition, we were not pleased with Vice Representative Ishimaru’s “remarks” on YouTube.

During an appearance on a live-streaming program of “Arc Times” operated by Tokyo Shimbun reporter Kinoshiko Mochizuki and others, he said of Mr. Shiga’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

“I have often been slandered and told, ‘You’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’s all about the money!

If we don’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.

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 “for money” 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, “That was Mr. Ishimaru’s stand.

Ishimaru’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 “true feelings” 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 “beyond the law,” 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 “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.
