Thanks to @speranzom for contribution of the translations of the attorneys Cinnamon, Shishikado, and Takkentaro to my translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 3/27 (Friday).
- Today [another session of] the conspiratorial NGT trial will be held, and AKS will plan to settle with the suspects.
- The AKS attorney said ambiguously, “As other members were not involved, we were able to prove their innocence”. The next hearing is April 8th.
- From Daily Sports: “Working towards a settlement at the NGT trial’s next hearing on April 8th… Both parties are “positively considering it”
- From Sankei News: “NGT48 trial likely to be settled soon — AKS working towards draft proposal”
- From Wezzy: “NGT48 trial moves towards its conclusion with “settlement” — Suspicions have not been resolved”
- (Video of AKS attorney answering reporters)
- “March 27th, 2020 (Friday) around 11:30, in front of Niigata District Court / AKS representative on the plaintiff’s claim for damages from the incident / A settlement has come to seem realistic ①”
- “March 27th, 2020 (Friday) around 11:30, in front of Niigata District Court / AKS representative on the plaintiff’s claim for damages from the incident / A settlement has come to seem realistic ②”
- The Niigata District Court is in a state of alert. It seems that Saegusa, exposed for writing slanderous articles in under the name Murata Kyoko, used the order to not go out on trips as an excuse not to go to Niigata.

- さわたん’s tweets
- It seems AKS does not intend to write in the settlement documents that “an assault occurred”.
- Cinnamon attorney
- “There are not a few clients of mine who initiated a court trial because they wanted to know the truth, but at the very least they requested earnestly for an interrogation of the other litigating party”
- “There’s an extraordinary sense oddness about someone having a peaceful settlement without even first going through the interrogation proceedings, and going, ‘We managed to accomplish the purpose we had set at the beginning’”

- The impression I get from the arguments from the AKS side is something close to an excuse after losing the fight
- For one thing, the moment they initiated the lawsuit without getting Yamaguchi’s cooperation on their side, the AKS side would have found themselves with no way to scrutinize/review the trustworthiness of the claims of the defendants
- That the court trial would have turned into the defendants being free to speak as they pleased was simply an event well within anyone’s expectations
- The fact is only that neither the plaintiff nor the defendants ever asserted that the members were implicated, simple as that; the connotations are a little bit different than them telling aloud that they managed to pry off some kind of detail out of it
- Since neither the plaintiff nor the defendants are asserting that other members are implicated in this, performing an interrogation would supposedly result in a more definite conclusion about that
- Also, back at the start, the purpose of the lawsuit was declared as, “We want to inquire into the root cause that caused matters to fall into this state, and use that toward preventing a recurrence of it.”
- Yet it seems to me they’ve never said that a focus of the debate was on attesting the cleanness of the other members
- From the reasons cited above, the reason brought up by the plaintiff for which they decided upon a peaceful settlement don’t quite look to have substance
- If anything, quite possibly, isn’t it rather that the court displayed an outlook on the question that wasn’t too favorable for the plaintiff, and [the plaintiff] determined that by having a peaceful settlement at the present point the damage they’d suffer would still be less than if they keep on with an examination of the testimonies in an open courtroom and have a verdict passed on them?
- Takkentaro’s video: “NGT — AKS lawsuit, The trial farce, expected to end in a “rotten settlement””
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.
