We have requested an investigation into the trouble surrounding Nakai Masahiro. On the 14th, American investment fund Dalton Investments and its affiliates stated that "the series of events related to Nakai's scandal exposes not only the problem of the entire entertainment industry, but also serious flaws in Fuji's corporate governance." They then pointed out that "the problem needs to be dealt with appropriately and promptly, without being vague," and called for the establishment of a third-party committee of outside experts to clarify the facts and present measures to prevent recurrence. Dalton claims to own more than 7% of Fuji's shares. In response to an interview with TV Asahi, Fuji Media Holdings commented, "We do not disclose information about responses to individual investors," and "At this time, we have nothing to announce." In addition, Nippon Television announced on the afternoon of the 15th that Nakai would be stepping down from the variety show "The World's Most Shocking News," in which he serves as MC. Nippon Television said, "We have been in dialogue with Nakai Masahiro's side, but after taking into consideration his role as the host of a program that covers a variety of news, we have made the comprehensive decision to have him step down."
