Saddening news revealed that rock band TOKIO's Tatsuya Yamaguchi committed “forced indecency” with a 16 year old girl. TOKIO held a press conference today to discuss the matter. During this press conference, TOKIO's leader Shingeru Joshima announced that Yamaguchi will be resigning from TOKIO. Yamaguchi openly confessed, "I’m responsible for hurting TOKIO."

Now TOKIO will continue as a 4-member group with Johnny's Entertainment, updating their website by removing all traces of Yamaguchi therein.
