At the home of a semi-living together couple.
The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare’s Kanto Shinetsu Bureau of Health and Welfare’s Narcotics Control Department (commonly known as Matri) is conducting a full-scale investigation of a suspected violation of the Narcotics Control Law. The electronic version of the Shukan Bunshun (weekly magazine) reported the news on October 11. According to the website, Yonekura’s apartment in Tokyo was raided by Matri, and several illegal drugs were seized. According to the website, the search was conducted by Matri and several illegal drugs were seized. “Since information related to Matri and Yonekura was leaked in October, many reporters from TV and newspapers gathered in front of her condominium,” said a reporter from the social media department of a national newspaper. This man frequently travels back and forth between Japan and Argentina, and spends most of his time with Yonekura during her stay in Japan. However, it seems that the man was not in Japan when Matri raided the apartment,” explained lawyer Masaru Wakasa, former head of the Public Security Bureau of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office and an expert on drug investigations. Even if illegal drugs are seized in a raid, if the amount is extremely small or if the urine does not test positive for drugs, it may not be possible to prosecute the case, and the investigation may be continued without making an arrest on the spot. Also, in this case, the drugs were seized while she was living with her boyfriend, an Argentinean man, and we could not find out what was going on until we heard from him, so we were probably waiting for him to return home.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
Even before the raid report, Yonekura himself had been experiencing some “oddities. According to the electronic version of the Weekly Bunshun, Yonekura’s home was raided by Matri on August 20. On August 19, the day before the raid, Yonekura’s official Instagram page stopped being updated, and she subsequently cancelled a series of events in which she was scheduled to appear. On September 17, Yonekura declined to appear at a photocall ceremony celebrating the reopening of the Ginza flagship store of BARNEYS NEW YORK. On September 25, she was scheduled to appear at a press conference hosted by the Japanese subsidiary of the British luxury car brand Jaguar Land Rover, but the event itself was canceled. However, the event itself was canceled. On October 6, she also missed the award ceremony for the “21st Clarino Beautiful Legs Award 2025,” which honors celebrities with beautiful legs. Yonekura explained that the reason for her absence from the “BARNEYS NEW YORK” ceremony and the “CLARINO” award ceremony was “poor health. Indeed, Yonekura’s health has been a source of concern in recent years: in 2019, she announced that she was suffering from “hypomyelination syndrome”; in 2022, she was stopped by a doctor for “motor dysfunction due to acute back pain and sacroiliac joint disorder” and had to cancel the musical “CHICAGO,” which had become her life’s work. Yonekura posted the following on Instagram at the time, as if to complain of her “limitation. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I’m in a state of physical and mental wreck until I get here,” said Takayuki Johshita, an entertainment reporter, about a series of cancellations of appearances at events. Basically, there is no penalty for canceling an appearance at an event, only the appearance fee is not paid, but it is a situation that the organizer wants to avoid because it would interfere with the operation of the event on the day of the event. The organizer would like to avoid any problems with the operation of the event. Axis Consulting K.K., which Yonekura had just taken over as a commercial character in July, removed the commercial video from its website. We asked the company for its opinion, but did not receive a response by the deadline. What is of interest is the fate of the popular TV drama. The final film version of the “Doctor X” series (TV Asahi) starring Yonekura was released last year, and distribution just started this past August. Fans are eagerly awaiting the revival of this popular series, but some are concerned that depending on the situation, it may not even be rebroadcast or distributed anymore.
