Yashiro Aki was called the Queen of Enka and she passed away in 2023 at the age of 73.
But when a record company announced the release of this singer's "memory album series" they also said it would enclose "nude photos" taken by the director (her lover at the time) with whom she was living when she was 23-24.
By the way, these are completely private photos of Yashiro Aki that were not even made public while she was alive. Yashiro Aki has never released nude photos in public.
QuoteDisplay MoreI hope more people will know about Aki Yashiro's greatest hits album and that there will be louder calls to cancel its release.
"Nude photos were released without her permission after her death."
Something this terrible should never happen.
It's a complete departure from the human condition. Don't forgive her, stop messing around.

There is a lot of opposition among Japanese feminists because they are releasing photos of the singer after she died without permission while the singer was still alive.
On the other hand, the pros are
- In the past, nude photo albums of the dead sold out quickly.
- Doesn't the copyright belong to the person who took the photo anyway?
I totally agree with that.
The record company is threatening anyone that objects
