Takarada's Secret Love Child With Underaged
Prodigy Actress Kyoko.
This photo which was revealed today by unknown sources shows the shocking truth behind the actress Kyoko's sudden rise to fame in under one year. The young woman formerly known as a prodigy may have gotten her fame in another way.
The photo had been taken a few days before and Kyoko had recognised the scene before her immediately. It was of the four members of her immediate family on the front steps of their family home. She was holding Maria's hand as she playfully kissed Lory on the cheek whilst he stood there in a bathrobe, holding the giggling Toru.
Clearly it looked just as the article had described, but the fact of the matter was that it was simply a daughter kissing her father goodbye as she took her niece to her dancing lessons. It was completely unthinkable to everyone that raved over the indecent act.

LME in Media Blackout.
LME has refused to comment about the recent accusations about President Takarada Lory and one of his young employees. They have taken the same stance on anything media related.
No one was speaking at LME. Even though everyone worked overtime, no calls were answered if they regarded the recent publications. Job offers for the use of LME professionals started to be retracted.

Media Silence Continues from LME
Public Call for Arrest of Eccentric President Lory Takarada.
Today the public is calling for the police to step in and arrest president Takarada after allegations are made against him and the actress Kyoko for having an illicit affair.
Still no one within LME moved to quell the rumours but continued to work tirelessly. Undercover reporters were discovered and escorted from the building by armed guards as the entirety of Japan was in an uproar.

New Evidence that Takarada May Not Be the Only
Prey of the Hungry Young Actress.
The article was mainly pictures of Kyoko with different influential males in the show business world where on a large 2 page spread with just the words
Will She Spread Her Legs For Anyone?
Ren, Sho, Reino, all of the Ishibashi brothers and even Kijima.
No man has been immune to her "charms."
These photos of her laughing and joking and then one of her and Ren out shopping together smiling was the worst.

LME CALLS FOR A PUBLIC PRESS CONFERENCE!
LME has said they will be holding a press conference at LME to talk about recent allegations made about its President and talents.
The tension that had been running through LME for the last week seemed gone. They had done everything they could so it was up to the president now and of also Kyoko to right the wrong that had been written.

Nanokura Mimori Arrested Over False Accusations.
Nanokura was arrested today in front of the general public. The charges stated are false accusations. Now the country waits to see if this has anything to do with the Takarada X Kyoko case?
The tall blond strode decisively into the press room. All eyes watched her and her tall cameraman. He held a very large, odd-shaped bag and everyone thought they must have been one of the lucky few to be allowed to film the actual conference. No one thought any different as they walked to the front of the room and started 'Setting up' though a few of the men thought to ask her later what station she worked for and a few of the women thought to ask her handsome cameraman the same.
Th doors behind the table set up for the conference opened and a long line of people filed in who either sat or arranged themselves behind the table. Lory did not the central position as expected but the seat next to it. The central position remained empty and so did the seat next to it on the opposite side of Lory. The reporters started to log down the names of the people present a few of them surprising
Lory Takarada, Yukihito Yashiro, Kotonami Kanae, Amamiya Chiori, Kijima Hidehito, Fuwa Sho were the few they knew. There was also a lawyer present plus a woman that looked like an official from the government that all sat silent as the tall blond turned to her 'cameraman.'
"Are you ready for this, it could destroy our careers?" she watched him as he opened up his camera bag.
"As long as they get their story we get paid. Let's just show them what's wrong with the world today." she nodded as she watched him retrieve his precious object from the bag. Taking a deep breath she walked across the room and onto the stage.
The room was silent as the tall blond came out with the grey-haired cameraman holding a baby! Where had the baby come from? Not one person on stage blinked at them nor stirred as the cameraman sat holding the still sleeping child gently in his arms. Then the woman spoke in a clear light voice ringing out above everyone.
"Thank you all for coming today, though I doubt any of you would have missed this." this brought a low chuckle from the people in the room as the atmosphere lightened slightly.
This is it
The blonde smiled at the room and everyone in it
"For the moment I ask you to please keep your voices down. As you can see some of us are still not fully awake at this hour." she said as he gestured to the sleeping baby. Another giggle and many ahhhs from the people present. One man near the front raised his hand bravely and the blond nodded at him to continue,
"Can we please know whom we are being addressed by?" he asked in a very courteous manner. The TV crews at the back of the room zoomed in at the woman's smiling face as she melted the hearts of every man in the room and more than likely the people sitting watching this live at home.
"I'm sorry! How rude of me. Please one moment." the woman said. Then turning, she seemed to be messing with her face then raising up her hand she removed 5 large pins from her beautiful blonde hair and to the shock of the room pulled her hair and her hairnet away, revealing short copper locks as her golden eyes turned back to the man who had asked the question. The entire population of Jao\pan gasped as before them where not moments ago had stood the tall, proud blonde beauty now stood the object of all the speculation and gossip: Mogami Kyoko.
"Is that better? Or would you like me to.." she pulled 3 pins out of her grey haired cameraman's hair revealing his true colour of dark brown locks. If his eyes had been brown instead of blue he was without a doubt Tsuruga Ren. The press exploded, the noise was deafening all asking the same question at once.
"Is Tsuruga-san the babies father?"
Ren cleared his throat loudly as everyone in the room looked towards the baby in his arms as it stirred, the sudden quiet that fell was astounding. No one wanted to wake that sleeping form. As they sat quietly Ren spoke,
"Please excuse me for not removing my contacts but as you can see my arms are rather full at the moment." another murmur and a collective 'Aw' sounded from the women but the question still burnt in their eyes. Was the true story before them that Japan's most wanted man was with the rising star? Was it their child? Kyoko began to speak again all attention on her in an instant.
"As I said I wanted to thank you all for coming today. We have a few things to discuss. With the papers the last few days I am sure you are all fully aware of current events and let me take this time to say on behalf of LME that we as a collective would like to apologise for our silence. They did it for myself and the circumstance I will now talk to you about." the watching press saw the deep breath the young woman took and for the first time since sitting down, the President's hand reached out and covered her own. Squeezing the hand below his, she smiled down at him and the cameras caught the look in both their eyes until she spoke again. No one doubted the love that was there. believing all the stories and news reports until she spoke again.
"One month 3 weeks and 4 days ago me and my younger brother Mogami Toru became orphans."
No matter what the press or the audience had been expecting it wasn't this. Japan's news in that second stopped as everyone in the room or watching at home took and held a breath. They were now hanging on every word.
"My brother and I shared the same mother but different fathers. At 6 years old I was abandoned to live with a family. My mother knew and I never saw her again so imagine my surprise when 11 years later, I am suddenly hit with the fact I have a sibling and above that in the same day am told my mother." she paused, "Died in a car accident." she finished harshly.
As you can imagine it was a very large shock for me but also due to the fact I am still under the age of 18 it meant that I would no longer be able to work or support my brother as I wished to do. We were both to be taken into foster care and very possibly separated from the only blood relation we both now had.
I was never loved by my mother. She told me so herself in the first and last correspondence I would ever receive from her."Kyoko said as she held the envelope containing the letter.
At 3pm today this letter will be released all over Japan since it has been taken to every news station, magazine publicist, radio, newspaper publisher and also published on certain websites scheduled for simultaneous release and available for all to read. Before that I will explain the accusations before us.
To begin with I would like to introduce you to the man who took it upon himself to care for two orphans with nowhere else to go. He took us in and for the last month in Toru's case and for almost the last two years in my own he has cared for us and our personal, social and emotional development. He never asks for anything in return and he did not turn his back on us in our time of desperate need. My father: Takarada Lory"
Again the room exploded with questions and again Ren coughed getting the room to become quiet as he rocked the half awake child back to sleep. He nodded to Kyoko to continue,
"I'm sorry the story won't take much longer so please let him sleep. As you can imagine, the last week has been very stressful on us both." Now it was Lory's turn to speak so Kyoko sat while Lory stood.
"So now you know the truth of the lies that were spread about my daughter. For that is what she legally is now." a screen lit up behind the desk showing the legal adoption papers for one Mogami Kyoko and next to it the guardian papers of one Mogami Toru under care of Mogami Kyoko.
"We did not conceal this because we were ashamed of our actions. On the contrary it was my honour to adopt both children into my family and I was very lucky to be accepted as there was none other then 5 others willing to do the very same. Kyoko-chan has been an inspiration and dear friend to all of us here at LME. She has built up her reputation from scratch and with her own skill all while not once asking anyone for help or assistance. She works hard to meet her own goals as I am sure anyone that worked with her would agree with. I noticed a lack of people willing to speak badly of her in the news articles I have read this week." he stopped and paused for effect, "The reason this so called "big news" was kept quiet was for no other reason than the privacy of Kyoko and her brother to be able to mourn the loss of their only other living family and to get to know each other which I don't think is too much to ask for." everyone could see the anger in the face of the normally calm and serene President. No one knew what to say or do.
Lory sat down and the lawyer stood. No one would have recognised this well dressed man with the little man Chiori had met in the coffee shop 5 days. She stood next to Kanae and Yashiro behind the dais, each standing at ease as they held moral support for the speakers. The picture behind the dais now changed to the picture of Kyoko kissing Lory on the cheek as the small man began to speak,
"This picture was taken illegally on the Takarada grounds. The man who took this picture has since been arrested for trespassing, violation of rights and also a number of other offences. The woman who paid the man to do these things was herself arrested today..." he continued to name Nanokura Mimori the employer and read of her charges as Toru stirred and woke up. Looking around, he saw the amounts of people and clung to Ren with firm grips. Kyoko turned and comforted the young child whom then turned and begged for her caress.
All of this was seen nationwide as the young actress cuddled the young child. To her the sight of this now that the true story was being released was no longer of the indecent actress or of the woman who would do anything to get into show business. It was now the sight of a young woman growing up before her time to take control of the life of herself and now her "son" who she cherished deeply. As each at the table stood to take turns in explaining their part in this little tale: the social worker Maiko, Ren and even Sho speaking of knowing Kyoko as a child and her mother's actions towards her. The view of the people of Japan slowly turned from hatred to pity for the young woman. Kyoko stood up the conference had already been going now for almost 2 hours and Kanae had left carrying Toru a while ago as he became upset. Now it was the final push Kyoko stood
"These will be the final words of this statement after which we will answer any question after that. I have not agreed to release my personal letter so you can feel pity for me and we have also not set out to gain pity. If anything I would like people to feel happy for me as I myself am happy. I have never had a true family before. Though I have been looked after by some wonderful people who care dearly for me I came into this business and I made real friends for the first time and though this may seem odd and strange I finally have a family. You have seen them standing around me today and sitting with me at this table, carrying my son away so he does not become upset. I did not choose my family, rather, in a sense, they chose me. But if I had to choose it would still be these people whom have supported me through this difficult time. Thank you for your patience. We will now have a 20 minute break and return for questions."
In the next week Japan warmed up to the news. Kyoko's final letter from her mother was released and although Kyoko was not there to comment on it personally, LME responded to all questions and queries for her. Her friends and self proclaimed family were questioned time and time again and they answered honestly and truthfully as Maria, Lory, Kyoko and Toru took their first family vacation together in secret away from all the hustle and bustle of the press.
