At a press conference held by Fuji Television on the 27th, it was reported that it had been confirmed that a "hotel social gathering in Tokyo" was held in the winter of 2021, prior to June 2023, when the trouble between Nakai and the woman occurred, and was attended by Nakai, Fuji employees, and the woman in question.

Prior to the question and answer session, the moderator reported, reading out "an overview of what our company understands," including what had been revealed in Fuji TV's investigation into the current situation.

"Some reports in January stated that Employee A held a social gathering at a hotel in Tokyo in the winter of 2021 with Nakai, people from the entertainment industry, employees of our company, and the woman in question," they explained.

"Based on interviews with employee A and other employees who attended, we have confirmed that a social gathering did take place. However, we have not received any testimony that it was for the purpose stated in the article."

The group confirmed that in addition to this social gathering, a barbecue also took place at Nakai's home in May 2011, and said they would "leave the matter to the investigation by a third-party committee."

In its January 16 edition, Shukan Bunshun reported that a "Fuji TV announcer (not her real name)" had been accused of being gathered by Fuji TV employees at a luxury hotel in Tokyo in the "winter of 2021," with Nakai, a male talent, and another woman in the suite. The female announcer reported that the male talent had groped her and "beckoned her naked" from the bedroom, but she had refused.

The story was reported under the headline "Presented as a Gift," and suspicions have arisen regarding entertainment provided to female employees in connection with Nakai's issue, with the third-party committee's conclusions drawing attention.
