The trial of Hijiri Tanaka, a former member of the popular idol group "KAT-TUN", who was accused of using stimulants, was held on the 27th, and he was accused of using stimulants again soon after being convicted of another stimulant case. I was aiming for a comeback, but I got out of my naivety."
Former member of the popular idol group "KAT-TUN" Tanaka Kiyoshi (36) was accused of possessing and using stimulants in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture in June this year. The defendant was questioned at the Matsudo branch of the district court.
Nine days before he was arrested in this case, the defendant was convicted of another stimulant case with a suspended sentence, and about the circumstances of using it again, "I tried to reintegrate into society, but I was severely slandered on the Internet and SNS. I started again because of my anxiety and my naivety."
He also revealed that he is currently undergoing drug treatment at a hospital.
In addition, regarding the stimulant, he said, ``I got it in February this year and left it at home,'' and reversed the statement at the interrogation stage that it was obtained from a trafficker in June this year.
He explained why, saying, "I thought I'd embarrass his parents by saying 'He left it at home,' so I just lied."
