NEWS
In the crazy news department, Sugi San stated at Narita Airport early this morning in Tokyo that he was the one that planted the marijuana in the painting that NOSAWA & Io Shirai was caught with by customs agents after they returned home from Mexico last May. Both were arrested on drug charges which is serious business in Japan but a couple of weeks ago it was announced that charges weren’t going to be pressed against them and the case was dropped. So this morning, Sugi San and conspirator Masahiro Hayashi who works as Sol Luna admitted to doing it to setup NOSAWA who Sugi had some issues with and Hayashi was the one that procured the drugs. Sugi said that he wanted to come clean and tell everyone because NOSAWA found out that he did it and he was coming for him so he was flying to Mexico which he was booked for anyway and he probably wouldn’t be coming back for a while. AAA sent out a press release this afternoon saying that they had no knowledge of this situation and are doing their own investigation but implied that Sugi wouldn’t be booked anymore.
