• Word has it that Tano had been signed up to the agency since about one year ago
  • [note: In reality, this information coming up in this conversation between two Tano fans turns out to be unsupported. The most recent snapshot before then of the agency’s website on the Internet Archive, dating to February 26, 2021, shows that Tano isn’t in the list of their personalities yet, meaning she must have signed up at some point afterwards.]

• Even Myjitsu, who previously went on to write articles favoring the NGT management, wrote about them in a piece, “With the fact that fans, all officially condoned by the management, knew of the home locations of the members, all the abnormality about it, the ambiguity in their resolution of the incident, and a culture of irresponsibility among the associated employees came to be exposed”

• Turns out that Tano Ayaka has since left the agency. The response about it [to user inquiries] from the agency, Pablo, says that “it was a contract for half a year, and thus it ended on November 1st”. Incidentally, November 1st was the very day the website, bearing Tano’s profile, was first discovered, bringing about much fuss around it.
  • [note: More precisely, the answers received from user inquiries, as related in the discussion in the screenshot, are that “At present she is not part of our agency”, “She was previously signed up with us, but after having had a mutual talk together with Tano-san, she left on November 1st”, and “At the time of stipulating the contract, we discussed with Tano-san that it would be valid for half a year, so we simply removed [her profile] as the contract came to its end on November 1st”]

• Nishigata’s speech at her birthday theater show
  • “In the past, before now, when sad and frustrating days followed up one after another, I had once thought to myself «Isn’t it about time for me to go ahead and quit?», «I want to disappear already», but once the handshake events were resumed, I saw how all of you who were cheering for me went over to meet me crying. When I was told «I believed we would never be able to meet anymore», I came to realize how there were people who, even though this was about me personally, they felt sad for that just like it were about themselves, and so I went on until today while telling myself, in my mind, «I must not give up, I must not break down, here at this point».”

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
