Geinokai Scandals

[Mark Mays]

btw, I remember hearing a small uproar about Matsuda having an affair with a video director from the states . . .

  Recently I posted a little tidbit from Mark West, our law scholar here. He is, as a matter of fact, working on a little project about scandals in the geinokai (and swears he's got a scholarly angle on this stuff). Here is his preliminary list of the top scandals of the last two decades (and I added a couple). 

  Matsuda Seiko stealing Matchy, leading to Nakamori Akina's suicide attempt, and then the subsequent divorce to marry that Jeff guy
  Amuro Namie dekichatta kekkon to nyoronyoro Sam
  Tashiro Masashi arrested for peeping tom stuff and then again for drugs
  Goro Inagaki arrested for running over police woman
  Katsu Shintaro arrested for drugs
  Itami Juzo suicide (?)

  I don't know much about this kind of thing, but added:

  Tora Tora Tora & Kurosawa nervous breakdown, then suicide attempt (although this is a little earlier)
  Kadokawa Haruki's cocaine arrest
  Miyazawa Rie's Life

  Can anyone add any juicy ones to his list? He would be eternally grateful. 

  Markus
