Sakai Noriko Escape Case
August 2, 2009, was the darkest day of her life for Noriko Sakai, a Japanese diva.
On that day, 38-year-old Noriko Sakai was taking her 10-year-old son to a friend's party, but soon after the party began, Noriko Sakai received a call from a man.
"Hello, I'm Noriko Sakai."
"It's me, I'm in Shibuya, and now I'm being interrogated by the police, so why won't they let me go, what should I do?"
After hanging up the phone, Noriko Sakai panicked and asked her son to be taken care of by a friend, and then hurried to take a taxi to Shibuya Ward.
Why is Noriko Sakai so nervous about the man on the other end of the phone? Because the man who called her was none other than her husband, Takao Yuichi.
The reason why her husband was interrogated by the police, Noriko Sakai vaguely guessed a few points, because it was a secret that the couple had to keep.
However, Noriko Sakai would not have thought that this trip would become the beginning of a great change in her life.
After arriving in Shibuya, Noriko Sakai walked to her husband, Takasaki Yuichi, who whispered sorry in her ear.
Her husband's apology caused Noriko Sakai's heart to fall to the bottom, and she was almost certain that her husband was carrying something that could not be seen.
In order to keep the secret from being exposed, Noriko Sakai tries to use her celebrity status and police tricks to get close, and she carefully asks if she can take her husband away first.
But how could the police so easily let go of the suspicious Takao Yuichi?
Despite Takayoshi's denials and Sakai's constant intercession, nothing helped.
After nearly 2 hours of stalemate, the police forcibly removed the stimulants from Theo's pants pocket.
After seeing this scene, Noriko Sakai, who was still pleading, immediately changed as a person, refused to personally send her husband to the police station, and quickly left the scene on the grounds that she wanted to go to a friend's house to pick up the child.
But she didn't really pick up the child, she hurried home, loaded some luggage, and left in a car.
As a result, the "Sakai Noriko Escape Incident", which shocked the Japanese and even Asian entertainment circles, officially began.
Why did Noriko Sakai's escape cause a sensation in the entire Asian entertainment industry? We may find the answer in Noriko Sakai's path to fame.
Unhappy childhood and lack of affection
Noriko Sakai was born on February 14, 1971 in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, and her parents divorced shortly after her birth.
Because Noriko Sakai's father was involved in the underworld, going in and out of prison became a common occurrence.
So the young Noriko Sakai was fostered in a temple in her father's hometown, and a few years later she was sent to live in her aunt's house, where she was kicked around like a leather ball, waiting in trepidation for a little mercy from others.
It wasn't until she was 7 years old that Noriko Sakai returned to her biological father, and she had her first stepmother.
But the stern stepmother left her snubbed, and she slowly discovered that as long as she didn't clamor for candy and cute dolls, the stepmother would praise her as an obedient and obedient child.
So from then on, Noriko Sakai learned to act in the eyes of her stepmother
In the fifth grade, Noriko Sakai was again fostered to her aunt's house, and a year later, her father took her to her side, at which point Noriko Sakai had a second stepmother.
And this stepmother not only gave Sakai Noriko full love, but also made Noriko Sakai feel the care of her family for a long time when she was a teenager.
Young fame and fame are waiting for a miserable marriage
In 1985, at the age of 14, Noriko Sakai participated in the Japan Hairdresser's Image Contest and was discovered by the record company.
After 2 years of rigorous training and packaging, in 1987, the 16-year-old Noriko Sakai officially debuted.
Her bright smile, sweet voice and cute image made her quickly become a popular teen idol in Japan.
Later, Noriko Sakai, who sang and played Yuzō, also gained great popularity and popularity in Asian countries because of the TV series "Under the Same Roof" and "Star Gold Coin".
In 1993, at the height of her career, the 22-year-old Noriko Sakai's affair with Shinji Nojima, the screenwriter of the Japanese drama "The 101st Marriage Proposal," was exposed by the media.
At this time, people realized that the once young and beautiful girl had grown up.
However, just when the outside world thought that noriko Sakai and Shinji Nojima's love affair would lead to marriage, in 1997, Noriko Sakai and Shinji Nojima, who had been dating for four years, unexpectedly announced that they had broken up.
After the loss of love, noriko Sakai, who was in a depressed mood, often went to the beach to relax, and her friend introduced her to a skateboarding coach, this man was Sakai Noriko's future husband TakaoSukeichi.
But as they played, they went from coaching and students to lovers.
This marriage was not optimistic from the outside world from the beginning.
Regardless of whether fans are reluctant to marry Noriko Sakai, that is, The family situation of Yuichi Takashiro and his flower heart attributes, fans do not want to see Noriko Sakai marry this man with ordinary conditions.
Sure enough, after marriage, the true face of Gao Xiangyouyi was completely exposed, not only did he not work to support his family, but he also had trouble with women.
Less than two years after their marriage, the media reported rumors of Noriko Sakai and her husband's marriage.
Noriko Sakai, who did not want her son to grow up in a single-parent family, has been trying to maintain her relationship with her husband, but her method of maintaining the marriage has made her ruin her life.
Therefore, the husband of Noriko Sakai mentioned above was discovered by the police, and the escape of Noriko Sakai occurred.
Due to the Sakai Noriko Escape Case
After Noriko Sakai "fled", the Japanese media discovered a woman who committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and this woman looked and figured exactly like Noriko Sakai.
Suddenly, public opinion boiled over, and many people thought that Noriko Sakai chose to take her life because her husband was arrested for drug abuse and could not withstand the psychological pressure.
Just when all kinds of rumors were flying, the Japanese police came forward to confirm that the woman was not Noriko Sakai.
Since Noriko Sakai didn't take her own life, where did she go? Why did her husband disappear when she was addicted to drugs?
There are two reasons for this:
The first is that Noriko Sakai, like her husband Takasaki, is also an addict, and she is afraid that her husband will say everything;
The second is that as a family member, Noriko Sakai is likely to be asked to be examined, and two days before her husband's accident, she also took drugs, and once she is discovered, the consequences she dare not imagine.
Just as Noriko Sakai's whereabouts became a mystery, the police found evidence of Noriko Sakai's drug use at her home.
In the face of overwhelming evidence, the Japanese police decided to formally arrest Noriko Sakai.
But where is she?
Noriko Sakai's long 6-day escape
On the first day of her escape (August 3), after Noriko Sakai made a blinding detour in a taxi, she spent a long night in a hotel in Shinjuku;
That night, she didn't dare to sleep, didn't dare to watch TV, didn't dare to turn on her mobile phone, and kept staring at the window until dawn.
After dawn, because she was too worried about her son, Noriko Sakai took out her mobile phone and called a friend.
She asked the other person to take care of her son for a week.
Of course, she also hid her husband's affairs from her friends and her plans to escape.
On the second day of her escape (August 4), Noriko Sakai, who did not know where to go, thought of her second stepmother, whom she regarded as her own.
After arriving at her stepmother's house, Noriko Sakai told her stepmother about her husband, but she did not tell her stepmother about her greatest uneasiness and fear.
Accompanied by her stepmother, Noriko Sakai left Tokyo and went to her aunt's house in Yamanashi Prefecture.
At the same time, Noriko Sakai's in-laws and the brokerage company could not get in touch with Noriko Sakai, so they asked the police for help, hoping that the other party could help find Noriko Sakai.
On the third day of his escape (August 5), Noriko Sakai, who was hiding at her aunt's house, still blocked all outside news.
She would not have thought that because of her disappearance, not only did it explode in Japan, but also neighboring countries such as China and South Korea rushed to report it.
The stepmother, who couldn't bear to watch her daughter continue to suffer, finally told Noriko Sakai everything that was happening outside.
But Noriko Sakai, still holding a bit of luck, is still reluctant to tell the truth, fearing that she will be discovered by her aunt's house, and hides with her stepmother in an apartment in Tokyo.
Noriko Sakai, who had been on the run for three days, was on the verge of collapse, and she finally couldn't help but cry, and she kept saying to her stepmother, "I don't want to live, just let me disappear like this!" ”
Looking at her daughter who was bent on death, the stepmother could only answer her, "If you die, what will happen to your son?" ”
This sentence poked at the most vulnerable place in Noriko Sakai's heart, for the sake of her young son, she did not dare to have the idea of seeking death.
After her stepmother saw that her mood was slowly stabilizing, she still asked a question that Noriko Sakai had been avoiding.
At this time, Noriko Sakai also knows that she can no longer hide, and she must tell her stepmother the truth about her escape.
In Noriko Sakai's later autobiography, "Atonement", she uses words to truly restore the process of her confession to her stepmother.
"Mom finally asked me, and you sucked too, didn't you?" I didn't dare to answer, but I knew I had to answer, so I said 'um' in the affirmative.
Mom cried and asked me why, and when I said I was going to divorce him, he told me there was such a thing, and in the end I didn't hold back. Mom, I'm sorry! ”
For the next two days, Noriko Sakai hesitated to continue to flee or admit her mistake.
Finally, on the sixth day of her escape (8:30 p.m. on August 8), Noriko Sakai, accompanied by her stepmother and lawyer, chose to turn herself in to the police station.
After turning herself in, Noriko Sakai confessed to her original intention of taking drugs
According to Noriko Sakai herself, the biggest reason why she took drugs was to save her marriage that was on the verge of breaking.
"At first, it was because of my husband's persuasion, he was the closest person to me and the person I trusted the most, so his persuasion had a great influence on me."
"My relationship with my husband was rifted and we couldn't find a way to fix it, and I even secretly checked his phone to see if he was having an affair.
We quarreled over and over again, and then quickly reconciled. The family that I built up so hard, I don't want to end it like this.
Either way, I want to keep it going. It was at this time that drugs appeared before us. ”
"It was really a stupid idea at the beginning, and if I sucked it with him, the two of us would have a common secret." As a result, our relationship will be closer and more bound. ”
From Noriko Sakai's words, it is not difficult to see that her drug use is indeed inextricably linked to her husband.
But her momentary foolish thoughts not only failed to save the precarious marriage, but also ruined her life.
On September 17, 2009, after being interrogated by the police for more than a month, Noriko Sakai paid a 5 million yen deposit before she was able to walk out of the gate of the police station.
Noriko Sakai, who had left the police station, had no time to return home when she was arranged by the brokerage company to go to the scene of a public apology meeting.
At the apology meeting, Noriko Sakai, dressed in black, cried silently and reviewed herself, "This time I did something that a person should not have done, which had a very bad impact on society.
I regret my crime, I know that the mistake I made this time is unlikely to be forgiven by everyone, and I will try to live with a born-again mentality. Never do anything that betrays everyone again. ”
Two months later , on November 9 , 2009 , Noriko Sakai was sentenced to one year and six months in prison for drug use , suspended for three years.
Shortly after the verdict was pronounced, Noriko Sakai and her husband, Yuichi Takashiro, also went through divorce procedures.
Later, in an interview with reporters, the host asked how Noriko Sakai views the possibility of relapse.
Noriko Sakai replied affirmatively, "I also know that the relapse rate is quite high, which may be something uncontrollable, but I believe that I will not make a mistake again, because of this incident, I lost a lot of important things in an instant, and I had such a painful experience, I don't want to repeat the same mistakes, I swear." ”
When everything was settled, Noriko Sakai's life could no longer live to be as calm as it had been.
First of all, the advertising brands she endorsed abandoned her and demanded huge compensation from her.
Secondly, Noriko Sakai's friends in the circle have also publicly stated that they have severed their relationship with her.
In the end, Japan's mainstream television stations all shut out Noriko Sakai.
In order to pay off her debts, Noriko Sakai had to go to the marbles room to make money (japanese artists who are slightly famous do not perform in the marbles room).
Later, she was also forced by financial pressure to shoot a large-scale movie, and as soon as the movie came out, it was amazing, and the pure image of Noriko Sakai was gone.
After this series of changes, Noriko Sakai became the most hated female artist voted by the Japanese people.
After japan could not continue to "mix", Noriko Sakai began to transfer to Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places to sing and seek gold.
Of course, this is not a "big stage", but in order to pay off her debts and survive, she has no choice.
A generation of heavenly queens has fallen to this point, which is really lamentable!
Looking back at the first half of Noriko Sakai's life, her unhappy childhood planted the seeds of tragedy in her life, and her bad marriage made her jump off the "abyss".
She had the opportunity to rewrite her destiny, but she let her life fall into a "doomed" place for a man who didn't deserve it.
If she could get a little more love, maybe her life would be a different story.
From a generation of divas to being spurned, from popularity to drug addiction, Noriko Sakai's first half of life has been brilliant and lonely.
Now 50 years old, she finally got the punishment she deserved for the crimes she committed.
