The Broadcasting Ethics & Program Improvement Organization (BPO) and their committee on the youth and broadcasting have decided not to subject NTV's drama Ashita, Mama ga inai into further deliberation.

The BPO did comment that "dramas need to be more considerate towards the various institutions concerned" but also said "it will also be a problem if this will make the handling of delicate matters more difficult", and thus decided to drop the investigation on the said program. The head of the committee will be releasing an official comment soon regarding this.

The incident happened during the segment "Live - Bakuretsu Otousan 27-jikan Special" on last month's FNS 27-jikan terebi, where comedian Koji Kato kicked AKB48's Mayu Watanabe's head. This immediately triggered a social media firestorm, where the majority of the public showed disgust towards Koji's actions saying, "He has crossed the line of a variety show", "Disturbing", etc.. BPO's Youth Committee has included this in their agenda, as they will be discussing the production methods, policies, and intentions with the staff in charge of the program.

Mayu Watanabe wrote on her blog that: "I'm perfectly ok!" after the show.
