Just had a read of it, it's more or less the same as what was outlined in the DMM statement, spoken from Nitro's POV. The statement is made by Digitarou who is one of the executives at Nitro and the public face of the company (he appeared in the niconico chougikai stream).

It explained that one of the designers involved in making the in-game graphics was a new hire at the time who didn't have sufficient education and awareness regarding copyright authorisation, thus went ahead without realising it being a problem.

It further goes on to admit that the staff responsible for design checks only did so for levels of completion and design quality, and not from a copyright perspective. In addition, as an executive manager in charge of overall supervision, Digitarou admits he too, shares responsibility for not being able to prevent the issue.

As a result of this incident, Nitro has received instructions from their client DMM with regards to corrective and preventative measures moving forward. However it also states that Nitro wishes to take moral responsibility and implement additional corrective measures based on their own judgement and initiative, and is in discussion with DMM about it.

Finally, having admitted that the main cause of this incident stems ultimately from the incompetency of the Touken Rabu -Online- project team, Nitro is currently considering how the staff concerned, including Digitarou, are to be reprimanded.
