Hi! Just saw exciting news. I don't have any translation and barely understand what is going on ^_^ Anyway
Ministry of Justice chose Ayumi Hamasaki, Atsushi from EXILE and 12 other celebrities to be support officers. They will visit prisons and sing, or tell the life experience in the lectures, to help people in their rehabilitation.

Supposedly they will have to work on shaping a new system which can help with the rehab of the convicted. This is big! congrats ayu!
With the aim of making Japan the safest country in the world for Tokyo's 2020 olympics, this team will work on improve and rehabilitating those who committed crimes and similar.
When told about this ayu answered enthusiastically that without a doubt she would do it. Because it is her first experience, she is currently starting with studying firmly (the system, the institutions, the problems who face those on rehab and after rehab etc) and then she will start to think what she can do.
edit: the team apparently is composed by performers entirely. Others who are part of it are rakugo storyteller Katsura Saiga, Korokke (A comedy talent), singer Natsukawa Rimi, singer MAX, female duo PAI x 2. Also actor Ishida Junichi, AKB48's Takahashi Minami, the ex gold medalist for speed-skating Shimmizu Hiroyasu, Professional sumo wrestler Takanohana Koji are part of the team even though they were absent from the cerimony
