My translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 11/21 (Thursday).
Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.
- An article on Maho in Sports Hochi
- From Sports Hochi: “Reactions to Yamaguchi Maho’s relaxed knit off-shots — “incredibly beautiful legs”, “lovestruck””
- Tweets from someone who went to read the preparatory papers and statements submitted by Kasai and Kitagawa (4th part)

- My opinion on: Is there some restriction on viewing the contract?
- Kasai’s claim that he wouldn’t reveal his connections to Maho are sickening
- Their claims dispute the representations of the third party committee report

- A lawyer discusses information on the NGT trial
- “Attorney Shishikado Nobuaki’s Blog: Ethics of judicial reporters (How the NGT trial aught to be reported)”
- Regarding what it seems the defense submitted
- “The photos taken at the photo event”,
(1) “The rental agreement for the room across the hall”,
(2) “A statement that he sent and handed over clothes and accessories”,
(3) “Purchase receipts for high-class clothes and accessories”,
(4) “Shipping documents for valuable goods”,
etc., and as far as evidence of their actions these claims are essentially meaningless. - The essential sequence of events is: “Assault by two male fans ⇒ Maho makes the incident public ⇒ the theater shows and tours are suspended, advertising is discontinued, and personal security costs increase”.
- The essence of this trial is the truth of the “assault by two male fans” (the act of assault) and whether it’s recognized that this act of assault resulted in damages from the suspension of the theater shows, etc.
- It doesn’t matter whether they were acquainted or not
- The written statement carries no more meaning than, “a document written under the unilateral cognizance of an interested party”.
- (1), (3), and (4) have no significance beyond the defense unilaterally saying there was a connection.
- As to whether (2) is true, I don’t know if Yamaguchi’s side will make their case and conduct a cross-examination or not.
- “The photos taken at the photo event”,
- (Regarding the expression of having a trick up their sleeve)
- Waiting to reveal important evidence is like cheating in rock-paper-scissors, as in “even if they were able to produce something, at this point it wouldn’t be admissible”; there are things your not able to ask to be done in an investigation.
- Thus normally important documents can’t be made to appear as the litigation progresses.
- In a trial things like, “stay tuned for more” usually don’t happen.
- A strong exchange in the initial stages will have the most impact, and then gradually things will converge.
- (Regarding Yamaguchi’s cross-examination as a witness)
- Her cross-examination can’t happen unless a concerned party submits a witness examination request.
- If there was no connection, the defense won’t request cross-examination as their lies will be exposed.
- As the relationship between AKS and Yamaguchi has not always been favorable, it’s not clear that AKS will request Yamaguchi’s questioning.
- So in the midst of such a situation, when what the “truth” seems to be is disputed, and yet is reported on in a laughable manner, to appear in court as witness would be harsh.
