Japanese folks are shocked by two high profile celebrity drug scandals last week.
Actor-singer Manabu Oshio, 31, was arrested on Monday for illegal drug use and is under investigation for the death of a woman.
Oshio admitted that he was taking drugs with the lady before her death, but was coerced to do so… the media are not buying the story though, considering how poor his image has been in the past few years.
The woman’s cause of death will be determined in a week or two, and it’s still remained to be seen if Oshio was further involved in the case.
His management agency Avex is swift to cut off his contract though; and his actress wife Akiko Yada, 30, is filing a divorce. It’s also revealed that the couple has been separated for about six months, with Oshio’s extra-marital affairs one of the major reasons.
