My translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 11/24 (Sunday) with help on the Takken Taro portion from @speranzom.
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.
- Tweets from someone who went to read the preparatory papers and statements submitted by Kasai and Kitagawa (6th part)
- Riko’s tweet and Instagram
- Rena’s tweets
- Today the Tainai amazake that appeared in Riko’s Showroom is selling well.
- Takken Taro: “NGT48 – Hey defendants, your lies are way too obvious! #+ﾟДﾟ grrr”

- Some remarks raising the question if in their finalized statement papers the defendants are spewing lies just about anyone can notice
- First, this is not limited only to room #602, but the rental price on the whole 6th floor is actually *52,000 yen* (for a normal rental plan)
- Meanwhile, on the 3rd floor, it’s actually 2-year rental plans, with a rental price of *46,500 yen*
- Now, in case of monthly-fee kind of apartments, the practice of subleasing is widespread
- There’s a landlord, and with the subleasing agency either borrowing or lending them, they make money out of the profit margins, as a result it gets in any case more expensive than putting out regular rental offers
- Regarding the room #314 that the defendant side borrowed, the explanatory document [which they submitted as evidence] of the rental contract says that the rental went from December 3 to January 11 of the next year
- Judging from the fact that the renting wasn’t for two years, but for a little bit longer than a month, it becomes clear from the period that it was supposed to be a monthly-fee apartment
- Now, checking the homepage of the agency which is offering rental contracts of it, it says that the minimum contract period is “30 days”
— - Monthly-fee contract for apartments on the 3rd floor (baseline) “Short-term contract: 1 up to 3 months”
- “Fee: 4200 yen a day, making it 126,000 yen a month” “Costs for restoring the apartment to original state: 17,400 yen a time” “Monthly-fee apartment baseline package deal: 20,240 yen”
- That mean that if the hypothetically borrowed a room on the third floor for even one month, it would have cost them *163,640 yen* a month
- And in case it was a two-year set-time rental, even though the apartments on the third floor costed in the 40,000 yen range a month, with a monthly-fee plan they would thus get crazy expensive, amounting to over three times the costs of room #602, which was in the middle of the 50,000 yen range
- On a side note, the longer the period one would rent it, the cheaper it gets little by little
- “Middle-term contract: 3 up to less than 7 months” *136,146 yen* a month
- “Long-term contract: more than 7 months” *125,084 yen* a month
— - In case of running a promotional campaign, there are instances when it would get cheaper. For example a 40% or 60% discount on the rental costs
- Should this have happened at the time the perpetrators borrowed that room, apartments on the third floor would have thus been *88,040 yen* a month
- With room #602 costing in the mid-50,000 yen range, if they were to rent a room on the third floor, it would have cost them 88,000 yen even with a promotional campaign running
- And if they had decided to move out there, they would have had to pay multiple times the rental price they had to so far.
- So, getting to the point, were they really thinking of moving to room #314 because they wanted to reduce expenses [as they say in the statement papers]?
— - In conclusion, even if they were to move over to a monthly-fee apartment, the rental costs would have just gone insanely higher
- Therefore, the defendants are lying (“We moved to room #314 because they wanted to reduce expenses”, they said)
- Since this is a lie, the explanation that they were terminating contract for room #602 must surely also be a lie.
- Since that is a lie, it’s hard to imagine the rest wouldn’t be as well
- One must wonder if then also all the story about him having handed over presents to Yamaguchi-san in the past, in the common hallway, isn’t a lie as well
- With that point turning out to be such a big lie, you can’t take seriously at all even what they wrote in the other parts, then.
— - [Translated quote from the defendant’s finalized statement papers:
- Apartment #602 consists of two rooms and a kitchen, it was among the largest ones inside of the Maison des Riches building complex, and the price for the rent, including management costs, was as expensive as 50,000 yen.
- I and Man #1 tend to sleep over for the night at another building complex inside the city of Niigata, with apartment #602 serving as a storage room, therefore I thought of wanting to move to an apartment that was a little bit cheaper.”]
