Sharing this here as a conclusion of the unfortunate events that happened over the last couple of days

Seiko Hashimoto is apparently hospitalized at the moment and has yet to appear in the media. In my opinion she owes Daisuke public apologies because whatever she's said so far did nothing but worsen the situation. And I still think her behavior is unacceptable and this is not the first time she's treating the athletes like this. I remember at the Olympic event the prime minister organized back in April, she put Mao in a very awkward situation telling her to hug the prime minister even if they were both feeling rather uncomfortable about it. And I also found her behavior towards Daisuke a little questionable, as seen here and here (c). Sure, she wanted to bring him closer to Mao and Yuzuru, and rightfully so, but the way she did it was, in my opinion, very awkward and far too informal for a person of her status. She is not a coach nor a choreographer that the athletes work with all the time. She is the president of the federation and a member of the House of Councillors from the Liberal Democratic Party.
I don't want to further expand this unpleasant subject in the thread, and I don't mean to imply things or gossip around, but I felt like I had to get it off my chest, because a lot of people dismissed her behavior. That is all.

Miyu from DTFF translated what Daisuke said last night during the press conference about the Bunshun matter.
Although before the press conference started a JSF rep asked to refrain from asking Daisuke any question about the matter, in the end he talked about.
He took responsibility on himself for the matter and apologized to the relevant people and his fans. He said it was an excessive joke between two adults while drinking.
He looked like a brave soldier while doing it, as usual, never hiding away from anything and facing bravely whatever hard stuff life throws at his face. That's why we love him, and that is why he will always have our unconditioned and never ending support. And the more some people try to drag Daisuke into the dirt for some obscure reason, the bigger and stronger people's love and support for him will grow.
