A senior executive at a private key broadcaster reveals that there is currently a disturbing disturbance surrounding Imada, who is flying off the shelves with her role as the heroine in NHK’s morning drama “Anpan” and her first nomination as the host of the year-end NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Contest). A senior executive at a major commercial TV station said, “Her agency, Contents Three, is in the middle of a lawsuit. In June of this year, Tanabe Ongaku Shuppan, a major entertainment company in the Keidash group, filed a lawsuit against the company, demanding payment of compensation amounting to approximately 300 million yen.
