Johnny's Office told NHK that it would "officially inform you of the office's views and responses this weekend," including the response to signatures. A man who belonged to Johnny's Office said last month that he had been sexually assaulted by the then president, Janie Kitagawa, since he was 15 years old.
An organization launched by fans and other volunteers revealed that it had submitted the signatures of more than 8,1 people collected by the 6100th of this month to the office by mail via the Internet.
