[Regarding the Weekly Magazine Report]
This time, I, Tetsuya Furutani, was interviewed by Shūkan Bunshun. I would like to apologize and report on the serious crime I have committed.
I had a long-term extramarital affair with a female fan and was in this relationship for four years until September last year. I was immediately attracted by her support, and without hesitation, I initiated contact and started the relationship.
During this relationship, there were also moments when I lost control during an argument and became violent. It was the worst behavior I could have exhibited as an adult and as a human being.
Furthermore, I committed the unforgivable act of forcing her to have an abortion. I sincerely apologize for deeply hurting her both physically and mentally.
I cannot apologize enough to all the fans who supported me over many years for betraying their trust, disappointing, hurting them, and tarnishing my character. I betrayed the trust of everyone involved and caused them great distress.
I will spend the rest of my life sincerely repenting and making amends for my sins. I am prepared to accept any punishment.
I am truly sorry.
Tetsuya Furutani
