Member "X" of a male idol group suspected of drug use (TouSpo)
Despite recent arrests of Kiichiro Wakayama and wife Ryo Hitomi in November of last year, it is said that drugs is still in abundance within the entertainment industry.
According to a showbiz insider: "If it's just on the level of pot, it's probably being used as much as liquor. Celebrities are basically elitists, and always seem high... It's like they have no sense of danger at all".
TouSpo has also caught information that a certain member "X" of a male idol group is obviously under the influence of drugs.
"This was when he was at this long TV program in the summer. When X becomes sleepy, he'll silently go behind the set and start sniffing on the stuff. A TV staff said that 'he'd wake up with this. That's seriously no laughing matter...' And aside from 'X', there's also talk that 'Z' from the same idol group uses shabu."
According to an investigator: "Popular female celebrity 'A' who used to go out with Z also used drugs, but actually the pusher who sold these substances to all of them has already been arrested by the police. And this person has already talked about A and Z to the police".
