Typically, in Japan, prosecutors won’t prosecute you unless they got rock solid evidence against you. (That’s why Japan’s conviction rates are really so high!) They won’t prosecute you if the evidence against you is so-so, because they view every acquittal as an entire carton of eggs upon their faces.

So this really doesn’t look good for Matsuda.

This is disappointing, in the name of fandom. Imagine these some well-known, others famous, female seiyuu get less respectable treatment than they are now, no thanks to their salary.

We’ll need more of these “incidents” to get some decent information. I’m still not convinced. :/

Do anyone know how is the case with other agencies? What happened when some other seiyuus like Konishi Hiroko,Miyamura Yuko and some others had to resign?
Maybe this is not some one-off occasion.

The inevitable question comes up with…
“How many seiyuu did he go through?”
Terribly uncomfortable.

Please, tell me this is some sort of sick joke.
