It's nice to see that Japan is no different than the U.S. in that their pop stars go from extremely popular to drugged out losers. Noriko Sakai is the latest example according to Reuters:
A Japanese singer-actress famous in Asia for her sweet, girl-next-door image was given a suspended jail sentence on Monday for using illegal stimulants in the latest celebrity drugs case in Japan.
The court handed down an 18-month jail term, suspended for three years, to 38-year-old Noriko Sakai, who shot to fame in the late 1980s with pop songs and later turned to acting.

So why am I writing about Japanese pop star news? Because American pop stars are being severe letdowns recently by staying under control and not doing anything retarded. Fortunately, I think I have one Japanese reader who accidentally found this site while searching for hentai, so he's probably very pleased with this story right now.
