Announcement Regarding the Removal of Miura Ayme from the Role of Asmodeus in Obey Me!
Thank you all so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support during this difficult time.
We know how deeply this situation has affected our community, and we want to share the final outcome of our company’s investigation, as well as our future direction, with complete transparency.
NTT Solmare and the Obey Me! team place the highest priority on maintaining a safe and secure environment where the community can enjoy our content, and on the trust we have built with all of you over the years.
We conducted our investigation based on the information gathered throughout our internal review, including statements and documentation provided by Miura Ayme, as well as information shared by members of the community.
We have confirmed that private contact took place between Miura Ayme and a fan believed to be under the age of 18 at the time, which crossed the professional boundaries expected of our cast members. No sexual conduct was confirmed.
Following discussions with Miura Ayme, we made the decision to remove him from the role of Asmodeus.
Addressing these matters across our ongoing content and future projects, including Obey Me! Sinner’s Choice: Lucifer, requires careful consideration. We kindly ask for your patience as we determine our approach.
Details regarding recasting, in-game voice updates, and related content updates will be shared as plans are finalized.
We deeply apologize to our fans and all involved parties for the distress and concern this situation has caused. Our entire team remains committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for the Obey Me! community as we move forward together.
We recognize the profound impact this news has on our community, especially those who have supported Asmodeus.
A separate message reflecting our team’s thoughts on these events will be posted shortly.
To our Obey Me! community, and especially to every fan of Asmodeus,
Following our recent announcement, we wanted to share a personal message with you all. We know how deeply this news has affected the community, and we understand how heavy this moment is for everyone who loves Asmodeus.
We want to say clearly and from the bottom of our hearts: while a voice is an important element that helps bring a character to life, Asmodeus is the accumulation of the stories, words, love, and time you have all spent with him. This decision will never diminish who Asmodeus is. Every moment you have cherished, every memory created, and everything he means to you remains sacred and unchanged.
This decision was not an easy one for us to make. We understand that many of you are feeling hurt, confused, or angry right now. Please know that we do not expect you to process this decision overnight, nor will we ever ask you to simply move on. Your feelings are completely valid, and everyone will navigate and process this in their own time and in their own way.
Asmodeus remains an irreplaceable part of Obey Me! We are fully committed to continuing his story with the utmost care, love, and respect, moving forward thoughtfully and at a pace that honors your feelings.
As we continue this journey with you, we ask each of you to help keep our community a place where everyone can share how they feel openly and treat one another with kindness. Please join us in keeping this community respectful and supportive as we navigate this time, rather than directing hurt toward anyone.
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your enduring love for Obey Me!.
With gratitude,
The Obey Me! team
