Exclusive Interview with Erika, suspension denial!
Erika is going to appear on "Super Morning" (TV Asahi) for an exclusive (120min) interview.
It's the first time that she will speak about the truth behind the recent events.
However, it is already known that Erika seems to be going to DENY THE 1YEAR SUSPENSION!

By the way, it's going to air 8am in Japan. That's about 2hours from now.
It is airing right now!
I didn't hear or read about any reasons or a denial..so..I am a bit confused.
However, it still was very sad.

Update:
When the interviewer asked Erika about the PR event, Erika replied [I can't really give you a reason. I brought my personal feelings and stuff up the stage. As an actress, I shouldn't have let this happen at all.]. About the apology letter, [I wrote it with same thoughts and feeling].
In the end, Erika said in tears [I was not mature enough as a human and I`m really sorry].
Erika denied the rumor that that she will be suspended from work in the program and other news sites reported about this fact before the show started. The first clip that was available right after the interview didn't contain this part.
That's all information I can get for now.
Finall all the 5 parts of the program are uploaded on Youtube. Please view all 5 clips to really understand everything. Erika didn't begin the interview with the blank stare, as some people might think after the first clip appeared on Youtube.

Further more, Kurosaki adds:
When the interview had started and Sawajiri-san was 'emotionally-stable' it was a lot of general questions, such as "Did you think you'd be (so well) rated/viewed so quickly?" and questions such as "If you weren't an actress would there be something else you'd like to do?"
Sawajiri-san replied that one with "A waiter at a restaurant I like." Things like that, as the interview came to a close, the question which invoked her to cry was whether or not there was something she truly wanted to say/explain to her fans about the incident. The narrator said more than 10 minutes of silence went on, as she broke down and her interviewer empathized with her. Sawajiri-san did say earlier in the interview that there was a cause to the incident, but that she didn't believe (prior to the conference) it would effect her in that manner. She feels that she acted very unprofessionally and betrayed her fans. (The interviewer questioned at one point whether or not the apology on her homepage was written by Sawajiri-san, and whether or not she had assistance with it).
In the end summary, the interviewer had said she believes that Sawajiri-san despite the common notion that she is an incredibly established actress, she's still a normal 21 year old girl. That the reason for her behavior is most definitely not a single cause, but likely numerous ones which she cannot bring herself to say. Many of the other panelists agreed, yet one of them wondered whether or not her fans would be accepting of such a 'response'.
