• NGT’s special program is broadcast on AbemaTV
  • From the introduction through to the release of the 4th single there is no mention of the incident, and then from a narration of, “For a year and nine months they did not give up. These women take a new step forward with their 5th single”, there is a closeup of Yamada Noe’s teary face.
  • From Abema: “NGT48’s Release Commemorative Documentary “Once Again, I Want to Walk Together with You””

• A Sponichi article commits an obvious mistake in the same place as former Sankei writer Saegusa Gentaro did in his tweet
  • Saegusa mistakenly tweeted that [NGT’s] former management company AKS was under the jurisdiction of the “Kanda police station” when it was actually “Manseibashi police station”
  • Afterwards Sponichi puts out an article that makes the same mistake
  • Only Sponichi has made this kind of mistake with the Kanda station
