With this being Japan, I rather doubt that Sakai-san will get the same kind of treatment that a Western star turned criminal could expect. When Tsuyoshi Kusanagi-san (SMAP) was arrested for drunken disorderly conduct, his sponsors stopped airing those ads with him in them immediately; I'm only now seeing Softbank TV ads, but with the full band.

The prosecutor is looking to have her serve 18 months for the crime while her husband (soon to be ex, it seems) may get 2 years.
