===Financial Dispute===
In 2022, Inoue publicly tweeted a screenshot of a text message exchange on LINE between him and Decade co-star Kimito Totani. The messages revealed that Inoue had lent money to Totani, but the latter had yet to return it due to lack of personal funds at the time. After Inoue said that the money was already overdue from when Totani promised to return it, Totani retorted that he would have already done so had he had the money. Inoue had considered legal action, but was informed by a lawyer that the amount of money Totani had borrowed was not enough for a lawsuit. After Inoue threatened to make their text messages public if Totani did not return the money, he did not receive another response from Totani for an entire month, resulting in the tweet. Several hours later, Totani publicly apologized and returned the money.https://twitter.com/BeerStix/status/1607804320657068032
