- “(I tried dancing) What can I do in 45 seconds? (Hasegawa Rena)”
- The president of Sproot, which took control of NGT, expresses his feelings.
- Initially I refused to take on responsibility for NGT.
- It was completely unexpected and I was not familiar with NGT’s situation.
- I was suspicious about the chain of events surrounding the incident.
- President Okada appealed to me through tears: “I want you to do something to help NGT”, “If things remain as they are, the members will be living with these wounds for the rest of their lives”.
- I met with him several times and solidified my intention to support them by deciding to promise to achieve that.
- I don’t fully understand what occurred in the incident.
- I wondered if it would be ok to have everyone move on to what’s next.
- Up to this point the management has been making mistakes in how they were handling things.
- I have feelings of heartbreak for the graduated members.
- There are those that have received mental and physical damage, and are even now continuing to suffer mental anguish.
- I will use legal means to counter slander against the current members, staff, and the company.
- Please stop at once slandering or pestering the graduated members.
- Please support NGT.

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.
Why is this here? My original announcement
