Management didn't do their due diligence with Redjuice. Nor did they properly communicate the specifics of what was needed from him.
So he drew them a pretty girl and called it a day. Job done.
The rigger struggled to make it work but hey he got it sort of working.
Management didn't really become aware of what had happened until after she'd debuted.
At which point the inertia of Japanese corporate environments kicked in. Problem with this kind of situation is that really they're relying on the most senior man in the room to step in and stick a knife in someone, declaring them the scapegoat.
Problem is Redjuice doesn't work for Cover. He's a contractor same for the rigger. So the senior man couldn't really blame them or at least was unable to actually do anything and because that would mean shanking one of the company's own rather than an outsider he had the issue of being seen as treacherous to the company if he did.
So the issue festered as everyone went in circles trying to find a back to stick a knife in.
All the while with Irys in the background going "redesign when? redesign plz"
I'm not sure what happened. But it seems either a scapegoat was found or someone more senior stepped in and demanded the issue resolved or heads would roll.
Yes Jap corporate culture is that fucking autistic.
