It's hard to describe how shocking this development is unless you're a fellow fan of J-drama during the 1990s. Noriko Sakai was the Japanese pin-up girl during my time in national service in the early 1990s (before Ryoko Hirosue made it big in the regional smash hit Beach Boys). Sakai was one of those quintessential "good girls" you'd love to bring home to see your parents.
And, the media being what it is, Sakai's past is now surfacing in the wake of the scandal. It turns out that she is the daughter of a former yakuza boss. In fact, her childhood days are the stuff of gripping drama:

Well, with revelations like those, if she ends up in jail, she can write her auto-biography or something. I wonder if she'll get a movie deal?
