J-idols are over... Who can you trust anymore.

>[...] On social networking sites that I started around that time, I tried to regain and maintain my physical and mental health by venting all my frustrations in daily life. Looking back on it now, I see that many of the posts were terrible, and I now truly regret all of it. I think many people were offended when they learned about my past posts. I am truly sorry. [...] the obscene images and comments on the social networking account I was using at the time for recruiting that appear as if I had posted them myself were definitely not my own, nor was this any kind of leaked information. [...] I have met people at my new high school that I never would have met otherwise, and it has greatly expanded my values and perspective. To appreciate diversity is to tolerate my own flaws and imperfections. I began to accept that these are all part of me and learned to live with myself. I recognize that the many of the criticisms I received are the words of the many people that love Nogizaka46. I am very sorry that I have caused you, Nogizaka46 fans, to feel this way. However, I will do my best to grow into an individual whom you approve of someday. I am truly sorry.

I firmly believe that Aruno-tan is not a hateful person and has undergone significant personal growth through learning and life experience.

I have complete confidence in my conclusions, as I consider myself a good judge of character.
