Erika on house arrest
You can basically describe it as house arrest.
According to the first short news in the morning tv shows, it looks like that Sawajiri Erika has been suspended from her work for the full next year! However, it's unclear whether it only appears for acting (Stardust) or also for singing (Sony).
Update:
Other news sites now also put up the news. It seems to be true.
"According to authorized people from the movie and the sponsor, the schedule of Erika has been erased." (for 2008)
This all sounds like a one year suspension and would be a really harsh way to cool down the current uproar.
I hope there will be a real official statement soon.
Erika can finally make long holidays now..
Anyway, I will keep you updated.
