Claimant-side allegations, legal-notice positions, recollections, and non-adjudicated summaries, clearly labeled as such.
Reasonable interpretation based on A-D material, always labeled as inference and not presented as a primary source.
A claimant-side notice states that VALSE approached the reporting side on 2020/12/19 about whether the reporting side could take a Nichion-considered breaks library music production / management project.
Claimant-side notices state that a 2021/03/19 project meeting included discussion of the concept, track quantity, artist budget image, and schedule, and that candidates were requested by the end of March. This is preserved as a claimant-side position.
A reviewed email chain records that, by 2021/04/05, the reporting side stated that project tracks had been uploaded and requested budget confirmation, while Nichion instructed that work stop until contracts and formal ordering were ready.
A reviewed email in the chain records VALSE acknowledging that its request had created order-of-operations confusion and expressing that production was still desired despite the contract not yet being executed.
A reviewed email chain records that Nichion sent a copyright-contract template on 2021/04/09 and indicated that a master-rights consent format would follow.
Reviewed April 2021 correspondence records that Nichion identified three document tracks before formal ordering: copyright contract review, master-rights consent, and a coordination / direction contract draft for the reporting side.
Reviewed April 2021 correspondence records that Nichion acknowledged the reporting side had carried out writer-confirmation work, stated that formal work should start after contracts and memoranda, and proposed a coordination consideration of 200,000 yen plus tax for the album.
A reviewed 2021/04/26 email records Nichion acknowledging that a coordination / direction fee image communicated earlier had not been accurately transmitted internally and stating that consideration would be paid for work performed by the reporting side and requested demo writers for the project.
The same reviewed 2021/04/26 email lists recognized work categories including selection of 20 writers, confirmation of copyright-contract and publisher-contract status, demo-production coordination, and production fees for 10 demo tracks, while asking whether those items were included in a 1,000,000 yen plus tax coordination-fee request.
The 2021/05/24 claimant-side notice to Nichion states that approximately 20 tracks had been ordered and about 17 tracks had been delivered before the stop instruction. This is recorded as a claimant-side position, not a finding.
The 2021/05/24 claimant-side notice to Nichion claimed 2,954,197 yen in total, including a claimed artist-ordering cost component of 754,197 yen. This page records the amount as disputed and non-adjudicated.
The same notice anticipated an argument that no agreement had been formed and framed compensation under contract-formation fault and commercial remuneration theories. This is preserved as claimant-side legal argument, not as a legal ruling.
The 2021/06/21 claimant-side notice to VALSE repeated the core timeline and argued that VALSE's intermediary role created responsibility questions. This is preserved as claimant-side legal argument, not as a finding.
