«Despite calling ourselves an anime-loving orchestra, we are embarrassed that we have not been sufficiently aware of the recent issues surrounding generative AI. We also realized that we did not take into account the work and feelings of everyone who loves anime and its creative aspects, and all members of the executive committee deeply regret this. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to many people due to our incompetence. We have temporarily replaced the images used in the brochure and website with works commissioned from an illustrator
