Noriko Sakai, a successful Japanese pop singer and actress, has been hit hard with the latest press release of her production company; Victor Entertainment. The company which recently confirmed that it will no longer distribute or manage the singer’s music has been the sole manager of her record label for years.
The scandal of possessing illegal stimulants has brought the 38 years old actress much more than a ruined career. Noriko Sakai turned herself to authorities on August 8th 2009 according her lawyer’s advice who described her surrender as “the best course of actionâ€. Noriko honestly explained her recent disappearance and even admitted that the illegal drugs found in her home indeed belong to both her and her husband, Yuichi Takaso.
She confessed that she started taking drugs last summer with her husband who had been arrested previously for drug possession. The actress also told investigators that she had been hiding in several locations in Tokyo and Yamanashi Prefecture after her husband’s arrest on August 3rd, 2009. It was also reported that she refused to submit to a urine test around a week ago, which accordingly made the police issue a warrant for her arrest.
