Sony Music Labels announced on Saturday that singer-songwriter Kiro Akiyama had already been released from custody after his November 23 arrest for allegedly battery.
Under the name Kiro Akiyama, Arai performed the opening theme song “Identity” for the second season of The Promised Neverland anime and the ending theme song “SKETCH” for the current sixth season of the My Hero Academia anime.
Sony Music Labels said there were discrepancies between the initial report of the incident and Akiyama’s later account, but it will work with him to “restore trust.”
The company added that Akiyama’s legal counsel reported, and it later confirmed, that Akiyama does not face prosecution in the near future.
