TOKYO, Sept 12 — Automaker Nissan and beer giant Kirin said today that they were dissociating themselves from Japan’s biggest boyband agency following revelations about sex abuse committed by its late founder for decades.
Last week, the boyband empire admitted for the first time that founder Johnny Kitagawa had sexually assaulted young recruits over decades, before his death in 2019 aged 87. “Our ongoing contract with Johnny & Associates will end upon expiration, and we will not implement any new advertisements or promotion campaigns”, the firm said.
Auto giant Nissan said it would also refrain from “developing new sales promotion materials using that talent agency until further notice”, on the grounds that its conduct “contravenes” the automaker’s guidelines on respecting human rights.
