Part 1 of 2 (Part 1 of 2)] The industry’s attention is focused on a lawsuit that suddenly befell a major breakout actress. A new firm with a lot of momentum has been sued by a big, well-known entertainment company for terminating the payment of promised remuneration. What is the surprising truth behind the turmoil that may rewrite the power structure of the entertainment industry? Mio Imada, who boldly exposed her “too sexy” and “beautiful back” ***
The entertainment desk of a sports newspaper commented on the muscular performance of Mio Imada (28), who has been cited as the most successful actress of the year. She gained national popularity for her role as the heroine in NHK’s morning drama “Anpan,” which finished airing in September, and was chosen for the first time to host the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen at the end of the year. As an “actress in season,” she is inundated with offers from various TV stations, and her rapid progress is expected to continue into next year. A senior executive at a major commercial TV station said, “Her agency, Content 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. Furthermore, the amount claimed is related to the commercial appearance fees earned by Imada.
Chairman Kawamura’s right-hand man
Tanabe Ongaku Shuppan is an entertainment agency that manages and manages music works, and was established in 1977. It was long headed by Tatsuo Kawamura, 84, chairman of K-Dash, who passed away in July of this year. The Tanabe name is attached to the company because of how it was established with investment from Tanabe Agency, of which Chairman Kawamura was vice president. The contact between the company and Imada’s office goes back eight years. “Contents Three, founded in 2007 by Hideaki Mizuno, 47, was originally a company involved in video production and animation business. The turning point came in 2004, when Imada moved from his hometown of Fukuoka to Tokyo at the age of 19 and joined the company. At the time, however, Contents had no track record as an entertainment production company and did not have the know-how to market Imada. According to a production manager with knowledge of the situation, “Mr. S. was called ‘Chairman Kawamura’s right-hand man’ and had a wide range of connections, especially with TV stations. He has a wide range of connections, especially with TV stations. He has the trust of former AKB48 celebrity Rino Sashihara (33), and was the first to use a former Johnny’s celebrity in a commercial for Shonan Cosmetic Clinic. It was to him that Representative Mizuno consulted about selling Imada, and the two companies signed a partnership agreement for her management services in 2005.”
