No... :lol: ...Fulong did NOT send this message to us but it was a general announcement (originally located in
http://www.fulong.jp/attention.html until the year 2004)
Photon translated it and I thought it could be quite interesting for you to know that TK's management indeed allows us to use their material...we shouldn't take that for granted, I've heard some other stuff from other companies.
So here it is...
ATTENTION!!
There are websites that provide with standby pictures and receipt voices (of portable telephones etc.) using portraits and voices of Takeshi Kaneshiro. However, it is Takeshi Kaneshiro himself and we Fu-Long Production co. Japan who own his portraits and voices. Therefore, strictly speaking, anyone must not use Takeshi Kaneshiro's portraits and voices in any medium without permission. Under the present situation, we permit tacitly fans to make web pages using them.
But as for standby pictures and receipt voices (of portable telephones etc.), we do not regard it as permissible.
The reason is based on our management policy. After inserting this page on our website, please delete such photos for standby pictures and such voices for portable telephones on your website. Pay websites for profits also must be deleted immediately as a matter of course. Even if any problem occurs after spending money on such websites, we will not take responsibility at all. This is the only website that we manage and administer.
Postscript: Please don't send e-mail to addresses of someone who introduces oneself as Takeshi Kaneshiro. E-mail addresses that we don't introduce here may be evil deeds by outsiders. (Please take care especially on web pages like BBS that permit outsiders to write in.) Even if you get into trouble after you send e-mail there, we will not take responsibility at all, therefore please be discreet with it.
