Yesterday, we posted that "Shukan Bunshun" reported AKB48 member, Akimoto Sayaka's scandal with Hiroi Ouji (56). In response to this, Hiroi made a new entry on his blog with an apology.



Here's the statement on Hiroi's blog: "I'm surprised about the article on Shukan Bunshun, and I think it was a careless action of mine. �It was my lack of focus while working with popular idol AKB48. �I'm sorry to all the staff members and fans for this trouble. �I don't have any feelings toward her, how can I? �I feel bad for Sayaka having a love rumor with a 56-year-old grandpa. I was offered officially by Sayaka's agency to give her advice for acting, and I have received many phone calls from her for acting help. �I decided to support her anytime for acting. �People are saying I have authority with casting, but I don't. �In conclusion, I have a favor... �Please go visit the theaters and look at Akimoto Sayaka with your own eyes. I'm truly sorry about this."
