Yonekura has been absent from a series of events she was scheduled to attend since the beginning of September. The reasons given were “poor health” and “requests from Yonekura’s office,” and there were concerns about her health. According to a report in Bunshun, Yonekura’s home was raided by Matrix on August 20. The report also pointed out the possibility of illegal ingredients in the seized items. The report states, “Although each company was aware of this raid information, to date, there has been no announcement from Matri, and given that Ms. Yonekura has not been detained, we believe that the investigation is still in an ongoing stage. It is reported that Yonekura had been dating a man, an Argentine dancer, for many years and had been semi-living with him. It is said that this man has not been in Japan for a long time and “has not returned to Japan” amidst this turmoil. Since it is believed that the apartment where they were semi-living together was raided, there is a strong possibility that he knows something about the situation. Above all, attention is focused on how she will respond to her fans who are concerned about her safety.
