News of the event slowly bleeds through the company as does the news about the repercussions for Ichihara Riko.
After a heated conversation with the owner she was tasked with broadcasting a public apology.
Word goes that she meant it as a joke and never expected things to turn out like this.
Her manager, Yukimori Kyoden, confirmed that she had been full-on bawling during their conversation with the owner – tormented by guilt and shame.
She promised that she would never do anything like this ever again.
Furthermore she has been hit with several social media restrictions and is not allowed to post anything on her official account without approval from her manager or the marketing department.
She used to post a dozen of times per day, at minimum, but now barely posts once every two days.
Those posts are always some incredibly formal endorsement of a product or service.
Ichihara Riko’s actions were ultimately chalked up to youthful ignorance.

This money was taken from Yukimori’s budget.
You were there on the day of Maki’s “Graduation”, which is an idol term for retirement, and you’ve never seen a young girl so thoroughly crushed before.
So hopelessly empty inside.
In the absence of an idol to manage, Matsuno Kojiro has been granted the opportunity to attend a course on idol management until the next round of auditions.
People say he’s grown thoroughly jaded and his responses are now short and blunt.
