As previously reported, Kento Nagayama, who plays Keisuke Baji in the live-action film series, was arrested by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department on suspicion of possession of marijuana on June 16. Following his arrest, there was doubt whether the sequel would be released as scheduled.
The film’s production committee wrote in the statement: “We have received a lot of feedback and encouragement since the news broke. We have been reminded once again that many people truly support this series. We have concluded that responding to these voices is what we can do. We want to thank all those involved in the production who have worked so hard to release this film, in which the entire cast and crew put everything they had into, all the theaters nationwide that will screen this film as scheduled, and above all, all those who have supported this series. With only two weeks left until the film’s release, we will continue to do what we can in a straightforward manner. We hope you will come to the theater.”
