Keigo Oyamada, who uses the stage name 'Cornelius' once described his abuse in graphic detail. He now apologizes.
“We understand that he apologized and it is true that we didn’t know about this,” Toshiro Muto, the CEO of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Organizing committee, said at a Saturday press conference.
But Muto said they have no plans to ban Oyamada or his music from the games. “We wish him to continue with his participation,” Muto said, adding, “he is sorry for his past actions and he has said that he wants to act with higher moral standards.”This is the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee has had to contend with since announcing that it would restart the games that were derailed last year by the pandemic.
