Japanese Pop Singer Goes Missing

You probably don't know who Noriko Sakai is, and neither did I 5 minutes ago, but I figured with all the boring news in the American celebrity world, I'd do a post about some Japanese drama. AFP reports:

Japanese pop singer Noriko Sakai, who has enjoyed popularity in Taiwan and China, has gone missing after her surfer husband was arrested on a drug possession charge, her agent said Tuesday.

Sakai, 38, has not been seen and has not responded to repeated phone calls and e-mails since police found her husband late Sunday with illegal drugs, said Masahisa Aizawa, president of management agency Sun Music.

"A missing person's report has been filed with the Akasaka precinct (police)," he said in a televised press conference.

"If Noriko is watching this, please know that we are worried so much and please talk to us," he said.

I had to double check the pack of Asian women I have chained in my basement, and I'm pretty sure Noriko isn't one of them thankfully. My cover would've been blown. But anyway, she's obviously just ashamed and laying low til everyone forgets about her loser husband. Noriko, if you're reading this, call me. I have a nice little place for you to stay.
