She conveyed her intention to quit working for the company in July and did not appear in concerts she was scheduled to perform at. The judge of the case in Tokyo District Court, Katsuya Hara, mentioned that while it is understandable for companies to impose a dating ban on idols, it goes too far to claim compensation for damages when an idol does choose to date.
If the idol would have deliberately gone on a date with the intent of causing damage to the company, then it would have been reasonable to sue the idol for damages. As there was no such intent, the lawsuit was rejected. So for this time, a bullet was dodged….
Do you think this incidence could be a game changer in the idol world in Japan? I personally do not think so, as it seems like the reason that the company did not win the lawsuit was due to the huge amount of compensation sought by the company, which seemed unfair. I am certain that the company could at least still fire any idol who breaks the no-dating rule.
In the latest lawsuit, the talent agency based in Tokyo argued it could seek compensation from the year-old woman based on a clause in the contract. The clause stated that compensation can be requested when losses stem from an idol group member dating a fan.
