Regarding the content newly reported by “FRIDAY Digital”, as in the previous case, he stated that there was a drinking party that he also participated in, but denied that there was any “sexual entertainment” etc. He also shared his thoughts on the series of reports.

Tamura said, “When I contacted Mr. Matsumoto to talk here, he approved it and told me I might talk as I liked,” and pointed out one mistake in the article and in his own memory. While expressing his remorse, he continued by saying, “From now on, it’s my thoughts,” and “There may be pros and cons, though.”

“The point Mr. Matsumoto is fighting in court is not that there was a meeting like this, or that he was asked regarding his type during that meeting, but rather whether there was a forced sexual act or not. I think they will continue to fight on their own, but I don’t think it’s right that these kinds of reports are leading them in a different direction,” he said in his personal opinion. Speaking to a weekly magazine, he said, “I would like you to do your best to cover the evidence that Mr. Matsumoto did it by force.I think that will be done in court, but how long will you continue to report on this drinking party, which is not even a crime? “I question whether it is necessary,” he said.
Tamura’s main objections to the “FRIDAY Digital” article are as follows.
– (Was there a drinking party?) This was also the case last time (Bunshun report), but there were several in Osaka. This is true. Matsumoto also acknowledges this.
・This is definitely not a drinking party for the purpose of sexual entertainment, sex payment system, etc. I would like to strongly deny this.
・(To a voice asking, “Is there a drinking party that doesn’t have ulterior motives?”) Of course there are ulterior motives. I’m also a man, so I’m single, I go out to drinking parties, and I’m not really looking up to Mr. Matsumoto. (Omitted) However, it is written that we treat women like objects and pay them back like objects. That’s definitely not the case. I would like to strongly deny this.
・(Tamura’s junior said to his friend something like, “Please invite someone who can definitely do it.”) I checked with (the junior) himself to see if he really said that without my knowledge. When I asked him not to lie in this situation, he really strongly denied it. He sounded really sad and it really hurt to have to hear this. (Omitted) I believe his words, and I want to apologize to him, my junior.
・(Tamura suddenly made the woman sit across Matsumoto) The chair Matsumoto is sitting on is a sofa for one person. That’s why we don’t make women who suddenly arrive sit on one chair. In such a situation, she would never be asked to sit down in the first place.
・(During the drinking party, Tamura asked the woman regarding the man she liked) She admitted this last time as well. it’s been. Among them, there were two women who were there this time, and they both said they liked me, but I said, “They both said Matsumoto-san.” If I did that, it would really be disrespectful to Mr. Matsumoto, and there’s nothing I can do regarding it, so I won’t do it. I also don’t say things like, “They were both Matsumoto-san.”
・(Matsumoto disappears into the bedroom, saying, “Then I’ll use this girl today.”) Absolutely not. I have never seen such a sight.
・(I took 3,000 yen out of my wallet and forced her into a taxi) I have never used my own money when Mr. Matsumoto was with me. The reason is that Mr. Matsumoto’s money was kept by the composer’s son, and when he needed to buy alcohol or food, he would use it from there. (Omitted) I think he gave her 3,000 yen for a taxi, which was enough to get her home. To be honest, I don’t remember the amount, but I think it was enough to go home. I didn’t give that money, but the composer gave it to the woman.
・(About the amount) At the time, I didn’t have the idea of handing over a large sum of money as a thank you, because I didn’t feel like I was coming here for work, but as a friend of my juniors, and we were all having fun drinking together. It was getting late, so I gave him enough money for a taxi to get home. (A voice telling me to give him a lot of money) I mightn’t help but think that it was impossible for me to hand over so much of someone else’s money, Mr. Matsumoto’s, without permission. Now that I think regarding it, I wonder if Matsumoto-san wouldn’t have been accused of being a secluded person if I had given it to him and he told me to keep it quiet.
・Of course, I can’t proudly say that it was 100% wrong for Mr. Matsumoto to have a party like this even though he is married. She regrets it and thinks she needs to reflect on it even more. However, in this drinking party, I have never treated a woman like an object, and in my mind, I am having fun, trying my best to entertain the women, and trying to be popular with myself. That’s it, but I only remember enjoying it.
