Aぇ! Group’s Kusama Released From Custody After Public Indecency Arrest
When asked by reporters for a message to fans, Kusama again bowed, tears in his eyes, saying, “I am truly sorry.”
Kusama, 29, was arrested early in the morning on October 4th on suspicion of public indecency after allegedly exposing his lower body near the entrance of a building in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward. A witness reported the incident to the police, and officers who arrived at the scene took him into custody. He was believed to have been intoxicated at the time.
The incident occurred about a year and a half after A! Group made their CD debut, during a period when Kusama had been active as both a singer and actor. His management company released a statement on October 4th saying, “We take this matter very seriously given its social impact and have decided to suspend Kusama’s activities.”
Two days after the arrest that shocked fans nationwide, police transferred Kusama to the prosecutors’ office on the morning of October 6th. As prosecutors did not file a request for detention, he was released the same afternoon. Authorities have stated that investigations will continue while Kusama remains under non-custodial status.
