Noriko Sakai has been a pure image idol for a long time in Japanese entertainment industry, or on the media. To our tremendous surprise, she was arrested under the stimulative drug use several months ago.

This happening made a big impact on Japanese people, who believed Noriko Sakai to be the idol with purity. Her husband was found on the street and was asked by a police officer, then he behaved strange.  Police officer soon noticed his drug career, but he insisted on calling his wife, Noriko Sakai, on the phone.

Soon after the call from her husband, Noriko Sakai came up there and police officer also asked her about drug.  Noriko Sakai then escaped from there and didn’t appear for some days after that.

During her escaping time, her drug use was also proved. She suddenly became the criminal from a national idol star.

 Noriko Sakai is now attending the court. She seems to say that she would quit entertainment business as a star, and she is thinking to be a helper for elder people.

Her broken image will not recover soon. She needs to pay much for the play she did with drugs.

During this happening,  many of  Japanese became not to believe in people of the entertainment business more or less. Also the media is not doubt if they are telling the truth or not because many hidden facts about Noriko Sakai splashed out after this.

She said she didn’t have sisters or borthers, but as a a fact, her brother was also arrested under the same crime, drug use.

And among internet talks, they say that many of her family members’ names are reported as Korean names, not Japanese names, which means she and her family are hidden Korean in Japan.  Also several members of her family are said to be Yakuza members ( Japanese Mafia) by the internet sites or blogs.  For the correct information, we should wait for the judgement because the internet talks sometimes includes false information, but a lot of rumors like these suddenly poped out at this time.

Once people get arrested, real names and profession are often published in the media. This time, as far as I know, her brother’s case was reported on the Yahoo news and many came to know the real career of Noriko Sakai.

But probably not many will blame her of her hidden career.  Most important bettray to fans in Japan is, without a doubt, use of drugs for such a long time.

Now she is not expected to appear on the TV again.  However, many expect her to be one of the social members, who can contribute to our society.
