In October 2024, Nishihiro and others held a press conference in which they state that Ito's unauthorized use of the security footage, submitted by the hotel as a court document for her civil lawsuit, violated a pledge to not use it for any purpose other than the trial.
I sympathize with this woman. But she should not have violated her pledge. That's a big no no im Japan, especially to those who helped you. Unlike other countries, a lot of agreements are not actually written down and the honor system of keeping your word is still important. She should've listened to her lawyer, at the very least he is the one guy we all know is on her side.

Honda's proposal is expected to face vehement opposition from Nissan over concerns that its autonomy could be undermined
I hope Nissan keeps their autonomy all the way to bankruptcy. Then Honda can come in and pick up what's left. Like the GTR for example.
