The reasons for using CC images instead of official COPYRITED photos on Wikipedia:
Allow me to explain it in three languages. Dear all, an official profile photo does NOT mean that it can be used for any purpose. Please stop misusing a COPYRIGHTED photo.
Actually, official profile photos have been authorized ONLY for promotional uses in the mass media even though Mr. KAMIKI said that he wanted his Wikipedia photo to be changed into his official profile photo.
Wikipedia is NOT part of the mass media BUT a truly free encyclopedia, which should follow the Creative Commons license.
For other purposes, such as changing Mr. KAMIKI's photo on Wikipedia, the following are the two ways that can show respect for the author's rights.
1. Asking for permission from the true author(s) and sending authorization to Wikipedia's Commons:OTRS via e-mail. Note that authorization should be granted by both the photographer (URATA Daisaku) and the agency (AMUSE).
2. Making one or some Amuse's CC photo albums on Flickr and to upload photos there, following the Creative Commons license. In this way, users can reupload the CC photos and add sufficient captions to Wikipedia Commons.
In addition, if the authors(s) are allowed to took photos of Mr. KAMIKI during a designated photo session in a public event and their photo albums on Flickr follow the Creative Commons license, these photos can be legally shared in the same way on Wikipedia.
I have sent a proposal to Mr. KAMIKI's agency, Amuse, via their online form for reporting copyright problems on 23 September 2020. Let's wait for their response and action within this year, shall we?
