「声明」は当初、ポルトガル語と英語のみで発表されていたが、日本語でも是非発表してほしいと事務所に申し出て訳案を提示すると、何度かのやりとりの末、その訳案をほぼそのまま注釈付きで掲載した。しかし注釈入りはさすがに申し訳ないので、句読点などをクリーンしてブラッシュアップした。

COMMUNICATE
声明
We at TK7 Group, together with the artist Kauan Okamoto, have come to the public to position ourselves regarding the latest events. We make it clear that part of the information circulating in the media is true.
In his time as an artist, within "Johnny & Associates", Kauan Okamoto was one of the victims of sexual abuse, from the age of 15 to 20, committed by the late CEO Johnny Kitagawa.
The reason for the speculations and rumors that began to circulate yesterday, April 12th, in Brazil are the result of the repercussions of a recent interview where Kauan gives details about what happened to "The Japan Times" magazine, published on April 5th, causing a big uproar on Japanese social media.
For the artist's fans in Brazil, we will be providing a live chat with Kauan Okamoto to clarify all the doubts that are arising and prevent misinformation from spreading.
We would also like to point out that the artist Kauan Okamoto is only responsible to talk about events involving himself and that other matters that may come to light involving other names and "Johnny & Associate" are not his responsibility. Likewise, we at TK7 Group are only responsible for the artist Kauan Okamoto in this situation.
We understand that this is a difficult and painful subject to deal with, and therefore, we ask the press and public to respect Kauan's moment
and have consideration for him in the current circumstances. As a company, we are committed to support him on this journey of healing and stay by his side to deal with the personal and professional impacts this issue may have on him.
We believe that stories like his are key to creating a fairer and safer society for all, and we are committed to work together with him to promote positive change in the entertainment industry.
In addition to everything that happened, there were plans in progress that will continue later. We declare that any decision about Kauan's career is aligned with him, always respecting his will and final decision
on which path he wants to follow.
Once again, we express our solidarity and support for him at this difficult time and we are standing by to help him in any way we can.
