In der opening scene of her documentary Black Box Diaries, Shiori is speaking to the camera a few days before she holds a press conference. Something, she tells me, her family was against.

Black Box Diaries, which is Shiori's directorial debut, is based on her memoir. It follows the young reporter's quest for justice in a rape criminal case she filed in 2015 against well-known journalist Noriyuki Yamaguchi, who also had a close relationship with the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as his biographer.

Shiori decide to go public after the police and the prosecutors dismiss her allegations for lack of evidence. In 2019, she won a civil case against Yamaguchi, who's always denied the allegations. In doing so, Shiori became the symbol of the MeToo movement in Japan.

Despite the international acclaim, the film has not yet been shown in Japan and has made the news under a cloud of controversy. Lawyers who led the team representing Shiori's successful civil lawsuit in 2019 have now criticized the documentary publicly, taking issue with the film's unauthorized use of CCTV footage that they say was only supposed to be used in court proceedings.

The footage shows an intoxicated Shiori being dragged from a taxi and into a hotel lobby by the alleged perpetrator. The lawyers also said that her using secret video and audio recordings without consent has compromised sources who should have been protected.

Mr. Nakai, who works for Fuji TV, among other networks, was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a 2023 dinner party. He had earlier apologized for causing trouble, but added that some media reports were untrue and that he had not used violence. Reports emerged last month that the TV host had paid the unnamed woman more than half a million dollars.

His resignation comes days after Fuji Television confirmed that the company did not disclose the scandal, despite being aware of it. Automakers Nissan and Toyota were among several companies that pulled advertising from the network. This month, Fuji TV suspended a weekly show hosted by Mr Nakai, while other major networks also dropped the presenter.

He's practicing his right to remain silent, essentially, because he has been arrested and he can be questioned. And we understand that he was questioned for hours. Yonhap, the local news agency, said that he was questioned for 10 hours yesterday, but he refused to answer even a single question, according to the corruption investigation officials here. Yes, it was dramatic.

Yes, it was unprecedented. But remember, this is one of two fronts, if you will, that this impeached president's leadership, the future of his leadership is being decided. He was summoned for questioning today as well by the CIO, the Corruption Investigation Office. He refused to show up. His lawyer said that we've discussed what we needed to discuss yesterday, even though he said nothing.

And essentially at this point on the criminal investigation front, he remains detained, but he also remains silent. On another front where I'm standing outside the constitutional court, this is happening on the same day, but separate.
