Ex-husband of singer Noriko Sakai arrested for 4th time over drug possession

Some people never learn...or never kick their habit...or both.

Under what circumstances did he agree to do a urine test? Why did he comply? Why would his lawyer allow this to happen? So many questions.

He and Sakai divorced ten years ago. Why is her name dragged through the mud for this loser?

An orine test is evidence of possession?

Jefflee even if you do not consent to a urine test they will strap you to a gurney and insert a catheter to take a sample.

Bokuda testing positive for a substance is evidence you have consumed the substance there fore possesed it at some stage.

Not saying I agree with these two remarks just telling you the way they operate here.

Very unfair, can't see any presumption of innocence or humanity in that.

He's an addict. He needs medical treatment, not prison. Maybe they can find him a healthier "drug". We all need something to get through life. Too bad Takaso-san hasn't been able to find it. Getting himself arrested for the fourth time could be seen as a cri de coeur for help.

If it's someone's ex-husband (ten years divorced), dragging her name into it makes this 'news' read like the trashiest of tabloid trash.

Well if it's found in your urine you have to take it first and in order to take it you need to possess it, unless somebody administers it to you, that is theoretically possible but considering his past conduct highly unlikely.

Is called presumption of innocence. And is a primary human right that Japan denied to this men.

FYI, I also think that this guy is a reincident drug addict. But I'll defend his human rights no matter what.

Forced rehab.

So? Why on earth would people care about this?!

Yep. Why care. Why bother. A bit long in the tooth to be indulging.

Why care

The real deal here is not the detention of a drug addict doing drugs.

The real problem is the systematic abuse of the human rights, malpractice of law and police abuse.

dude likes his rock

So he likes to ram a bit of beak up his hooter... Who cares? Many thousands do it in Tokyo every day... Roppongi is like a blizzard sometimes... Doesn't mean he's an addict.

I could hardly walk either last night after half a bottle of gin, a couple of liters of red wine and a disastrous rugby match... Doesn't mean I'm an addict.

Exactly my thoughts when I read the title of article.

Click-bait I gues.

Addictions are hard to break. The Japanese prison system will provide him at least two years this time to dry out and break free.

To those of us who don't drink, half a bottle of gin and a couple of litres of wine most definitely comes across as an alcohol problem. That's more than I've drank in the last five years combined.

People don't realize alcohol is a drug though.

So now will she be forced to apologize and end her career?

No, she already did that 10 years ago, last time he (and she) got caught. Divorcing him was her way of separating her public identity from his.
