viviON announced on February 9 (PST) that Mashiro Oshiro will graduate on February 28. The company stated that although they had continued discussions about returning to activities, the individual had requested to graduate in January, stating that it was difficult for her to work under ideal conditions.
On the other hand, we understand from Oshiro’s own report that a small number of people have been subjected to such behavior as prying into the private live of talent during their suspension, and we are calling on the present to refrain from such behavior that pokes into the private live of talent.
This time, the person who claimed to have sent threatening messages to Oshiro, Aogiri High School, and viviON, claimed on their X (formerly Twitter) that they “Succeeded in driving Oshiro to graduation by making daily d*ath threats against her," “It was worth hiring a shady job," “I made a b*mb threat against Aogiri High School as a graduation memorial," etc. They also made bomb threats against Aogiri High School to commemorate her graduation. The appeal is made through an inquiry form on the official website of Aogiri High School, in which the user fills in another person’s e-mail address and sends such contents as “K*ll Mashiro Oshiro at 15:05 on February 11 (JST)," “Torch her house and k*ll her," “Kidnap and k*ll her even if she is not home," “Blow up viviON office at the same time," and so on.
Note that the community note “Constitutes a “threat" under Article 222 of the Japanese Penal Code" has been added to this post (tweet) by a viewer.
There has been a lot of criticism of this person, and it appears that reports have been made to Aogiri High School and viviON.
