Erika Sawajiri confirms divorce

April 29, 2010 by Yein Jee

Japanese actress-singer Erika Sawajiri, 24, has confirmed on her official website about recent rumours on her (broken) marriage status. Translation via Japanzone…

“I wish to formally state that I, Sawajiri Erika, have decided to divorce my husband, Takashiro Tsuyoshi, and we are in talks under the auspices of my family.”

Sawajiri and Takashiro, 45, got married in January 2009. She didn’t state the reason behind the divorce, but many reports suggested that financial issues played a huge part.

The actress is returning into showbiz from her hiatus since 2007. She was in self-exile after being disrespectful to elder actors and media during a press conference; and respect is everything in Japan.

Japanese voted her as the most unlikable public figure in a magazine survey for three consecutive years after that. It’s not easy to make her comeback, divorce or not, but some companies will be willing to take the risk. She still creates a lot of hype for whatever she does, even if it’s a bad one.

Meanwhile, her husband has expressed shock about the turn of event as they were still celebrating Sawajiri’s 24th birthday together earlier this month. Life is full of twist.
