Weekly Magazine Report
This time, I, Toru Furuya, have been interviewed by Shukan Bunshun. I would like to apologize and report about the serious sin I have committed.
I had an affair with a female fan for a long period of four years, from September four years ago until last year. At first, I was charmed by her who supported me unconditionally, and I started to contact her on my own initiative.
During our relationship, there was a time when we had an argument and I impulsively raised my hand against her. It was the worst behavior as an adult and as a human being.
Additionally, I committed the unforgivable act of forcing her to have an abortion. I am truly, truly sorry for deeply hurting her both mentally and physically.
I cannot apologize enough for betraying the trust of my long-time fans who have supported me, for disappointing, hurting, and tarnishing my character.
I have betrayed the trust of everyone involved, causing them great inconvenience.
I am prepared to devote the rest of my life to making sincere amends and accepting any punishment.
I am deeply sorry.
Toru Furuya
