Hikaru UTADA has bigger problems than her weight
The Japanese press has been slow to report this (Asahi is just running this today) but the the Svengali-eseque mother of Hikaru UTADA—the Japanese mega-star with worldwide total of albums, singles and VHS/DVD’s to date is well past 42,000,000— has been busted for drug money in the US and here are copies of the court reports.
Japanese Pop Queen’s Mom In Fight With DEA
–Hikaru Utada’s parent seeks return of $421k in seized “drug money”–
Smoking Gun, SEPTEMBER 27–The mother of one of Japan’s biggest pop stars was recently caught with more than $400,000 in suspected drug proceeds as she tried to board a plane from New York to Las Vegas, according to federal prosecutors now seeking forfeiture of the funds. In March, screeners at JFK Airport discovered the money in the carry-on luggage of Junko Utada…more...
REMEMBER: Arrested was Hikaru Utada’s mother, Junko Utada, was a singing star in her own right back in the day, but she now is operating under her daughter’s empire. This is only In Hikaru family’s defense, this could just be tax evasion money and nothing to do with drug money. The police claim of cocaine traces on the money is a cruel cop joke —all used $100 bills have drug traces on them.

I hate it when people refer to (the
love of my life) Hikaru as the “Britney Spears of Japan.” That is the biggest insult I think you can hurl.

I concur. To compare Hikaru to Britney is like comparing a diamond to vomit.

The public would do best to avoid speculating and jumping to conclusions until the facts are fully known.
