  • Meeting report concerning the “Building Koshigaya’s Future, Attractions Advertisement Ambassador Project” (June 6th, 2019)
    • (Some details of the contents)
      • (AKS) We have most recently met with Ogino at a Live during Golden Week, and at the time she seemed in relatively good spirits.
      • (Koshigaya City) We would like to suspend our media promotion agreement.
      • (AKS) That is understood.
      • (Koshigaya City) Our budget arrangements for the next fiscal year will begin around the end of October, and at that point we would like to make a decision based on the current condition of the group’s management.
      • (AKS) On what are you basing your decision of whether the group is operating normally?
      • (Koshigaya City) We would like to hear your opinion as a company.
      • (AKS) It is difficult for us to express our views as a company other than as a client that is executing a contract.
      • (AKS) Still, we think it is unlikely the number of complaints will go to zero even if there are no problems.
      • (Koshigaya City) We would like to release a document on the city’s homepage stating our intention to suspend Ogino’s ambassadorship activities.
      • (AKS) We can’t immediately respond to that here, as we will need to have that reviewed internally and by HoriPro. We will answer at a later date.
      • (AKS) However, we are concerned that should that happen, Ogino’s personal motivation will decrease and Koshigaya City will receive even more complaints from her fans.

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.
