Ryoki Miyama faces allegations of financial misconduct

Ryoki Miyama, a former member of the group BE:FIRST, is facing allegations of financial misconduct following his departure from BMSG and the establishment of his own agency. Reports from Bunshun Online suggest that Miyama has been involved in disputes regarding unpaid wages to staff and unpaid production costs for music videos.

These allegations follow a previous controversy in July involving Miyama and former Takarazuka actress Maria Kano, who were reported to have met privately during a hiatus from the musical ‘Crash Landing on You’. While Miyama’s side has denied the recent financial allegations, the reports have raised questions regarding his management of his new business ventures, which include both talent representation and a food service business in Kichijoji.

In a separate development, reports noted Miyama’s focus on obtaining a large motorcycle license, citing a dream involving former TOKIO member Tomoya Nagase as his motivation. This has drawn mixed reactions from fans and observers regarding his priorities amidst the ongoing controversies.
