Toy's Factory, the agency representing artist and television personality Ano, posted an apology statement on its official website on May 26 regarding remarks made about Sarina Suzuki.

In its statement, Toy's Factory said, "As Ano's management agency, we sincerely apologize for the trouble caused to the talent whose name was mentioned, as well as to all related parties, as a result of this situation surrounding the program."

The controversy stemmed from the May 18 broadcast of the TV Asahi variety program 'Ano Channel,' in which Ano named Suzuki when asked which entertainers she dislikes.

Following the broadcast, Suzuki expressed discomfort over the remarks on Instagram Stories, writing comments such as, "This is basically bullying."

The program later issued an apology on May 23. On the same day, Ano posted on X, "I don't want to continue anymore, so I'm leaving the program. Which probably means the show will end," suggesting a possible departure from the show.
