TBS News<\/a> reported<\/span><\/a> today that the drummer from the band ALI had been re-arrested on separate charges than the ones filed against him earlier this month<\/span><\/a>. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police\u00a0alleges\u00a0that\u00a0Kahadio and his friends had committed\u00a0a phone scam against an Osaka woman in her 70s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

On April 8,\u00a0Kahadio was arrested for allegedly committing communications fraud, a subset of a common phone scam in Japan. This caused ALI’s<\/strong> record label\u00a0Sony Music to request the production committee of\u00a0The World Ends with You the Animation\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>to remove<\/span><\/a> ALI’s\u00a0“Teenage City Riot” as the opening theme<\/a> song to the series<\/a>, of which they obliged<\/span><\/a>. ALI<\/strong> had previously performed the opening theme to BEASTARS<\/strong><\/em> and the first ending to JUJUTSU KAISEN<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In this arrest,\u00a0Kahadio is suspected of ringing the woman in her 70s on March 3 and telling her that she’ll be reimbursed for her medical expenses if she pays around 2.31 million yen (US$21,400) to a bank account. This is a common fraud crime in Japan, especially around this time of the year when the central Japanese government gives out its tax refund to its residents, of which medical expenses can be part of if the resident pays over the threshold for that tax year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police\u00a0alleges that\u00a0Kahadio was seen taking out 420,000 yen (US$3891) from an ATM the next day and is the leader of the scam artists. Kahadio<\/strong> confessed to the crime to the Tokyo Police, saying he had “definitely taken (the money) out.” The Tokyo Metropolitan Police are\u00a0also looking into other crimes the group may of committed.<\/p>\n
