A: Yo, Akira-san! Did you hear about the news?
B: No, what happened?

A: Suntory's chairman and CEO, Niinami Takeshi, stepped down. He got involved in a police investigation about some questionable supplements he bought.
B: Oh no! What did he do wrong?

A: Well, he said he thought they were legal, but it seems the company doesn't agree with how he handled them. They think he lacked awareness about supplements and therefore, he's not fit for his position.
B: I see... That must have been a tough decision for him. What happens now?

A: Torii Nobuhiro, the president of Suntori, said it's very serious in terms of corporate governance. They had a meeting and discussed this with Niinami on Monday. He eventually offered his resignation, which was accepted.
B: Wow, that's quite a blow to the company. What about Niinami? Any updates on him?

A: He's still a member of the Japanese government's Council on Economic and Fiscal Policy, and he's been working hard to raise workers' wages. But yes, his actions have caused quite a stir.
B: It certainly did... I wonder what will happen next. Maybe we should keep an eye on the news.
