Our artist participated in the filming of the project in 2023 in the expectation that the relevant arrangements would be properly finalized through the usual process. However, no final written agreement was directly concluded with the artist in relation to the current release, distribution, or promotion of the series, and Studio has not given consent to the present release or promotional use of the series and related materials in the manner now being pursued. This is consistent with Studio’s long-standing position that materials containing the artist’s performance should always be subject to prior review and approval before any release or use.

There was then a prolonged period during which Studio was provided with no clarity regarding the status of the project or its release plan. In that respect, Studio was in much the same position as the fans, having no clear idea what to expect, and was never given an opportunity to review the final cuts of the series. The artist also did not receive any payment for the project, and his team was not informed in advance of the present release and promotional activities.

On 31 March 2026, Studio through its lawyer also made efforts to engage in discussions and negotiations in the hope that the matter could be resolved on a proper basis and with due regard to the artist’s fundamental legal rights. However, to date, no outcome or proposal has been reached that adequately addresses those key concerns.

In light of these circumstances, Studio has taken legal steps in order to protect the artist’s rights and interests and to seek appropriate clarification through the proper legal process.

Studio is not in a position to support the current release or promotion of the series under the present circumstances. The relevant issues are currently being addressed through the appropriate legal channels. Studio remains grateful for the continued support, understanding, and concern shown by the fans and the public.
