Ministry of Justice cancels release of tie-up poster with Netflix “Love Jotou”

The Ministry of Justice announced on the 21st that it will no longer release posters created in conjunction with Netflix's ``Love Superior Season 2'' to promote rehabilitation efforts to support the recovery of people who have committed crimes. This response comes in response to a series of criticisms on social media, such as the fact that the actors in the film confess to having committed crimes in the past, and that the country is endorsing crimes.

In an interview, the Ministry of Justice explained, ``We have sincerely taken into account the criticism and concerns we have received from those involved.It has become difficult to fulfill the original intent of the tie-up.''

The work is a ``love reality show'' that depicts love between multiple men and women living together in Okinawa. In some scenes, the men confess that they were ``working in the yakuza'' or ``the leader of a motorcycle gang,'' or that they ``set people on fire.''

According to the Ministry of Justice, they decided on the tie-up after receiving a proposal from Netflix with the aim of deepening understanding of rehabilitation protection. Before creating the poster, he confirmed the content of the work in advance.
