On the 1st, lawyer Toru Hashimoto appeared live on Kansai TV's "Dotto Connect." He commented on the Fuji TV press conference regarding Masahiro Nakai 's troubles with a woman.

Regarding the dinner party in June 2023 where the trouble is said to have occurred, Weekly Bunshun's first report, released on December 26th of last year, stated that "she was invited by a Fuji employee," but in the second report, released on January 8th, this was changed to "she was invited by Mr. Nakai." Bunshun issued a short correction in its paid online edition on the morning of the press conference on the 27th by Fuji TV's management, and then on the 28th, it issued an apology and correction on Bunshun Online, which is the free version (Bunshun claims that "it was perceived as an 'extension' of the party set up by Fuji employee A").

The story goes that Hashimoto pointed out to Bunshun that "it is dishonest to quietly rewrite the story," which led to the correction. When MC Ryoji Ishii asked, "Was the timing of (Bunshun's) correction strange?" he replied, "According to Bunshun's version, they were aware as of January 6th that the facts were different, that it was Nakai who invited her, not an employee. I also started to mention (the change in the article) on my program, and (Bunshun) was aware of it by around mid-January. If I had made a correction immediately like they did on the 28th (of January), I think the situation at Fuji TV's press conference (on the 27th) would have been different."

On the other hand, Hashimoto also gave a certain degree of praise to Bunshun's stance in issuing a correction and apology for the article.
