Actress Noriko Sakai Arrested for Drug Possession?

I have been following the news since the arrest of her husband, Yuichi Takaso. But what was more interesting was Noriko Sakai going missing after he was arrested.

As seen from JapanToday,

Takaso, a self-proclaimed professional surfer, was arrested Monday after a police officer found a plastic bag containing stimulant drugs in his underwear in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. Sakai was summoned to the arrest site, but she refused the police request to go to a police station on a voluntary basis and take a urine test.

During questioning by the police, Takaso said his wife had stimulants, the investigators said.

I guess this was what prompted the police to search her house? And they did came across 0.008 of a gram of amphetamine wrapped in aluminum foil. The police issued a warrant for her arrest as she and Takaso do not live together. In addition, they found her DNA on the straws which were used to inhale the drugs.

She turned herself in yesterday.

Never actually heard of her.. have you? Well I guess once you start using drugs your life will be going downhill, including your career. :(

    Well, it’s been an ongoing joke that the otaku lifestyle is much more expensive than drugs. At least we’re still in control of our heads (somewhat)

    Noriko Sakai? She’s one of the most popular actress (for dramas) and singer back in the 90s. Her popularity reached out to a lot of places in Asia, and she even performed concerts in Hong Kong and places in China too. Frankly I don’t know much about her, but my sister said she’s usually very sweet. This makes the fact that she’s been taking and hiding drugs A LOT more surprising to her fans.

    For a person with so much reputation, it’s a shame to see this happening.
