On Friday, music producer Tetsuya Komuro was indicted for fraud by the Osaka District Public Prosecutors Office. On the same day, he was released on bail, after having spent the past 17 days in prison. His bail had been set at 30 million yen, and the amount was paid by several parties, including his wife KEIKO and his record label Avex.

The press was waiting for Komuro as he was released. He apologized again for the incident, and expressed his desire to get back on track and continue with his music career. Komuro currently has no work lined up, and his band Globe is also on hold for now. Since April 2007, he has been a guest instructor at Shobi University in Saitama, but he has been dismissed by the university.
