The publisher "KADOKAWA" was released on the 24th after Kentaro Kobayashi, who was the show director of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, was dismissed for using lines that slaughter the Jewish genocide in the past. Announced that it will cancel the publication of the official program of the opening ceremony that was scheduled to be released.
According to "KADOKAWA", it was decided to cancel the publication in the "Tokyo 2020 Olympic Opening Ceremony Official Program", which included an interview with Kentaro Kobayashi, who was the show director of the opening ceremony.
It was planned to be released in stores on the 24th, but it was decided on the 22nd after Mr. Kobayashi was dismissed for using the lines that slaughter the Jewish genocide in the past.
We have informed the bookstores that the publication will be canceled, and if they have already arrived, we will inform them not to put them in the store, and we will also stop selling e-books via the Internet.
KADOKAWA wants to refrain from commenting on the discontinuation of this publication.
On the other hand, the handling of the official program of the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Paralympics, which is scheduled to be published on the 25th of next month, will be considered in the future.
